“Hice represents an anti-gay viewpoint based on pseudo-science and seriously outdated myths about gay Americans.
He also really loves freedom. He calls himself a “constitutional conservative” and LOVES the Founding Fathers. Check out these posts of his from his Facebook:
“I have one plan: the Constitution. If we were following this document we wouldn’t have the problems that we’re facing today,” Hice has said.
Hice also loves to naturally share Founding Fathers quotes. Unfortunately, many of them are fake.
The Thomas Jefferson Foundation said it has “not found this particular statement in his writings” and Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience is the real source of the quotation.*” The Young Turks hosts John Iadarola (http://www.twitter.com/jiadarola) and Michael Shure (http://www.twitter.com/michaelshure) break it down.

Never mind who originally quoted it…how about those politicians who are quoting it actually living it? They can sound like they’re speaking for “the people” all they want, but in their heart of hearts, are they really speaking for “the people” or are they speaking it for themselves as if the politicians are “the people”?
