Republican S.C. gubernatorial candidate and U.S. House Rep. Gresham Barrett has been "honored" by the Club for Growth with a "Defender of Economic Freedom" award.
Today (July 29), the Club for Growth, the nation’s leading free-market advocacy organization with over 40,000 members, honored Gresham Barrett with the Defender of Economic Freedom Award.
This award from the Club for Growth reaffirms something you and I already knew; Gresham Barrett is a proven conservative who is committed to growing our economy and creating jobs through lower taxes, less government intervention, the reduction of wasteful spending and the promotion of pro-growth principles.
Really... Economic freedom to accept money at will from front groups? How about voting against the rest of America on the stimulus, that is working.

back in 2007, Barrett co-sponsored HR 888 introduced by Rep Randy Forbes
"H.RES.888
Title: Affirming the rich spiritual and religious history of our Nation's founding and subsequent history and expressing support for designation of the first week in May as "American Religious History Week" for the appreciation of and education on America's history of religious faith. "
Check Out H. Res. 888
this year, Forbes re-introduced it and is now HR 397
and here's a bit about C Street House & "Family" Members Push Fake American History House Resolution (HR 397)
Forbes said in a radio interview: "I challenge the president or anyone else -- come up, either debate me on this issue or simply tell me where that single moment in time was when you can say we crossed the threshold -- we ceased being a Judeo-Christian nation -- and you can't do it."
and Chris Rodda accepted - who wrote, Liars For Jesus: The Religious Right's Alternate Version Of American History,
-- as far as i know, Forbes hasn't accepted the invitaton! this a bill that Barrett co-sponsored!
and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation found and preserved the Christian Embassy video where Barrett is crying how much he misses his family and the fellowship at the Christian Embassy gives him strength.
how's that for separation of church and state??
i say -- let's make sure he gets to spend all the time he wants at home with his wife and children in 2010.
