Sam Brownback wants you to get religion. Turks, not so much

U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback wears his religion on his sleeve. He once washed the feet of a staffer at a farewell party, and he’s been known to hang with the likes of Lou Engle, a homosexuality-fixated evangelical who rocks back and forth when he speaks, in the manner of a true kook.

Brownback would like to see America get tighter with Jesus. At the same, he is blocking the appointment of a diplomat he feels has not done enough to promote secularism.
