Before the South Carolina State Senate voted 37-3 to remove the Confederate flag from the State House, members of the senate were offered time to speak on their position.

Sen. Lee Bright, perhaps confused about what the issue at hand was, took the stand to deliver a call to arms for the church and people of faith over the “abomination colors” he saw on the White House late last month. Bright is referring to the rainbow colors that President Obama ordered light up the White House after the Supreme Court ruled to legalize same-sex marriage.

“This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and they are under assault by men in black robes who were not elected by you,” Bright warned after asking the church to “rise up.”

“Our governor called us in to deal with the flag that sits out front, let’s deal with the national sin that we face today!” he continued. “We talk about abortion but this gay marriage thing, I believe will be one nation gone under like President Reagan said. If we’re not one nation under God, we’ll be one nation gone under.”

This three-minute clip is the perfect example about why the Confederate flag should come down. This the type of person defending it. One who sees any change as an attack on his faith and one who believes that as an elected official they should be calling for a religious uprising.

Sen. Bright has clearly no idea what it is written in the Constitution and is more concerned about what his referenced in the Bible.

You can watch the whole video below, but I warn you, you may become dumber just watching it, especially if you try to figure out how such an incoherent buffoon ever got elected in the first place.
