Bob McDonnell's Christian vision for Viginia...including regulating sex lives of citizens?

Politician Bob McDonnell is the front runner in Virginia's gubernatorial race. Reuters reports that he's opened up a 17 point lead over his opponent, Creigh Deeds.

Based on McDonnell's thesis which he wrote for his masters degree from televangelist Pat Robertson's law school, McDonnell thinks it's a good idea for the state to regulate the sex lives of its citizens.

On pages seven and eight of his thesis McDonnell wrote complaining about "radical individualism" of Americans and lamented the fact that the court case of Griswold v. Connecticut "postulated a new view of marriage by asserting that the 'preservation of marital privacy' precludes state interference with the right to use contraceptives, even though the state had long been empowered to regulate the legal and sexual relationships of marriage."

It's common knowledge that politicians from both political parties say what they think you want to hear. Once in office they do what their handlers with the cash want, not what the voters want or what America needs. Following this rule of politicians, McDonnell is trying to distance himself from his thesis and the anti-freedom/anti-individualism dogma his thesis promotes, knowing full well that Americans don't want the government regulating their sex lives.

The Washington Post reports that when McDonnell was in the Virginia General Assembly he tried to push through 10 of his policy goals that are in his thesis. This is in line with the goal of the Christian Reconstructionists which is to subvert the American government and change it from a Constitutional government to a theocracy based on the Bible.

Many people who believe the Bible to be the word of God have never actually read it for themselves. If they did, they would know that there are many unAmerican and unnatural teachings in the Bible. For example, how do you feel about slavery? The Bible does not condemn nor outlaw slavery. One restriction it does put on Hebrews who own slaves is that it requires them to free their Hebrew slaves after six years of bondage. However, the Hebrews are permitted to keep Gentile slaves “for ever” and to pass them on to their children. (Leviticus 25:39-46) If the Christian Reconstructionists do succeed in turning America and the world into a giant Bible-based theocracy, will they allow the Jews to keep Christians and other Gentiles as slaves “for ever”?Politician Bob McDonnell is the front runner in Virginia's gubernatorial race.
