There can be no doubt that \u201cGod, Guns, and Gays\u201d is the central theme for the Theocon wing of the Republican party and for a large part of the InsaniTEA wing as well. To pander to these people, candidates that represent primarily the Neocon, Plutocon and Corporocon wings pretend to be Theocons and try to goose-step with them, with varying degrees of success.  But what will happen when a pretender meets up with a Theocon who believes that the pretender has no rights under the First Amendment?<\/font><\/p>\n

\"1Fischer-Romney\"Mormon presidential hopeful Mitt Romney next weekend will be the opening act for shock jock Bryan Fischer, who recently said that the First Amendment should not apply to Mormons<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Both Romney and Fischer are featured speakers at the Values Voter Summit [pseudo-Christians delinked] in Washington, D.C. next weekend, a conference aimed at social conservatives and underwritten by groups such as the American Heritage Foundation and the Family Research Council. <\/p>\n

Another sponsor of the summit, the American Family Association, also features Fischer’s inflammatory writings on a weekly basis<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Earlier this week on his radio show, Fischer said that the First Amendment was created to "protect the free exercise of the Christian religion," and because "Mormonism is not an orthodox Christian faith," the First Amendment should not apply<\/strong>\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
