Klingenchmitt, the House Republican candidate for District 15 in El Paso County, is an evangelist of sorts who Democrats have targeted of late.The danger in this type of rhetoric, Klingenschmitt is not joking. Not too long ago, the "roles" were reversed, it was him calling for the death of homosexuals when (incorrectly) citing Romans 1:32 in reference to the Christian photographer fiasco.
He wrote in his Pray in Jesus Name Project newsletter about Polis’s work on non-discrimination legislation over the weekend.
“The openly homosexual Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) introduced a revised bill to force Christian employers and business owners to hire and promote homosexuals with ZERO RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS for Christians who want to opt out.
“Polis ‘wants sexual orientation and gender identity treated the same way as race, religion, sex, and national origin, when it comes to employment protections,’ claims the Advocate, under the headline “Polis trims ENDA’s religious exemption.
“Dr. Chaps’ comment: The open persecution of Christians is underway. Democrats like Polis want to bankrupt Christians who refuse to worship and endorse his sodomy. Next he’ll join ISIS in beheading Christians, but not just in Syria, right here in America.”

Late Monday, Klingenschmitt himself offered an explanation for the comments and an apology in a YouTube video.
“I used hyperbole,” Klingenschmitt said, before going on to explain what hyperbole is and to challenge Polis to the ALS ice bucket challenge.
Conservative Christians like Klingenschmitt will never escape the faux feeling of persecution; the martyr complex is central to their identity. By spouting crap like this all he succeeds in doing is riling up his base giving them a false target for their angst. Think about it, how can anyone take him seriously when day after day he "blames" demons for everything wrong in the world.
