Oh, don't worry. It's OK:

Harris' campaign released a "Statement of Clarification" Aug. 26 attempting to douse the firestorm.
"In the interview, Harris was speaking to a Christian audience,
See, her words were directed at Christians. If you're not Christian, don't worry. She wasn't talking to you.

addressing a common misperception that people of faith should not be actively involved in government," the statement said.
Yes. That is a common misperception. Just look at how many atheists are in government, and how few people of faith. Some day we'll see someone elected to public office who isn't afraid to admit they believe in God.

Right, because our elected government doesn't need to worry itself over doing the will of anyone who isn't Christian...or God.

You know, that's even more offensive than the original statements, because she's stating rather clearly that non-Christian opinions don't matter.

Those poor Christians are so oppressed! I really feel for them, when they complain about it...

perfect backgound song.

Do you think she was really showing off her boobs, or do you think she was being jabbed in the back with a hot poker? It might explain the twisted grin/grimmace.

Well, I saw another video of her riding a horse at some rodeo and she looked like she was wearing one of those topedo-tit-type bras, you know, the ones they had in the late 1950s. Christ! They stuck out nearly a foot. She's just using all the tools she has at her disposal.

I think she might be leaning up against a "stripper pole". You know the ones - you can see them in any Christian church.

She also said the founding fathers never wanted separation of church and state... she is an idiot of monumental proportions.

No government establishment of religion and separation of church and state are two separate concepts, only one of which is in the Constitution.
