Extremists often shape their arguments around ideas and opinions, not facts.

Pastor Hickey is a idealogue. He says things that are flat out lies in order to support his anti-American and anti-freedom agenda. He is a modern day theocrat. Just read some of his comments about people who are prochoice:
You can kick out a student for a variety of offenses, surely promoting child sacrifice and working to enable sex offenders are offenses relevant to her status at a pro-life school.
Is that why women have abortions? So they can SACRIFICE babies and PROMOTE sexual abuse? Quite the opposite actually.
Or his rewriting of American History claiming our forfathers were theocrats like himself, all the while forgetting that a democratic goverment was invented by non-Christians:
4. You are fully ignorant and revisionist in your comments about the separation of church and state. It’s not in the Constitution. It’s even an impossibility as the govt. IS the people and the people ALL have “religious” worldviews – even atheists. The only question is whose religious world view and moral agenda will shape this nation, the moral agenda of our founding (decidedly Christian) or something other. Did they teach you in your high school government class that pastors don’t have first amendment rights?
Instead debating the facts, he changes or twists the facts. He believes abortion is murder and believes murder is a sin. Is lying?
