Pete Stark: a heathen in the House
Rep. Pete Stark from California's fightin' 13th district has come out as a non-believer.

Stark's spiritual inclinations were sought by the Secular Coalition for America, an association of eight atheist and humanist groups, which offered a $1,000 prize to the person who could identify the "highest level atheist, agnostic, humanist or any other kind of nontheist currently holding elected public office in the United States."

The 18-term Democratic congressman, who chairs the health subcommittee of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, agreed to fill out the coalition's survey on his religious beliefs. In a statement issued Monday, the 75-year-old Stark added that, "like our nation's founders, I strongly support the separation of church and state. I look forward to working with the Secular Coalition to stop the promotion of narrow religious beliefs in science, marriage contracts, the military and the provision of social services."


A look at Stark's home page reveals his satanic obsessions:
  • Reducing Medicare costs
  • Additional funds for foster care and cancer cures
  • Urging Congress to confront poverty
  • Helping homeowners appeal FEMA flood-zone decisions
How can this be allowed in a Christian Nation!? Can't someone teach him the Gospel of war for war's sake and power to the powerful before it's too late for our country ...and his immortal soul?

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"
