[font size = 5]Rand Paul calls for tent revivals to resolve the moral crisis of gay marriage[/font size = 5]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/rand-paul-calls-for-tent-revivals-to-resolve-the-moral-crisis-of-gay-marriage/
a video clip carried by the Christian Broadcasting Network, potential 2016 GOP presidential nominee and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R) took up what he called the moral crisis afflicting the country, suggesting that the U.S. needs a series of tent revivals to get back on the proper path.
...
The moral crisis we have in our country there is a role for us trying to figure out things like marriage theres also a moral crisis that allows people to think there would be some other sort of marriage, he explained. I think the exhortation to try and change peoples thoughts has to come from the countryside.
The libertarian lawmaker then took a slightly religious turn, saying You know, Ive said this before, we need a revival in the country.
We need another great awakening with tent revivals of thousands of people saying, you know,reform or see whats going to happen if we dont reform.

disgusting. I often wonder what is driving this irrational hatred in this country, it's almost like a concerted subversive effort to undermine and bring down the US. It's a very serious level of discord.
