The “How Dare Keith Ellison Have A Different Holy Book Than Mine” Parade Continues
The Keith Ellison Can’t Swear on the Quaran Train Rolls on through
By the way the… please the declaration of Independence, i dont think it was writen by a athiest or muslim.
Presumably he meant “please read the declaration”, but I won’t dwell on that. Indeed, Thomas Jefferson — the author of the Declaration of Independence — was a deist. He was hurled with the insult “Atheist” and “Infidel” during his political career and the elections of 1796 and 1800, though — mostly from what amounted to the nation’s early Bible Belt — the New England states. Actually, Jefferson created his own Bible, actually, by stripping the New Testament of all of Jesus’s Miracles. He avoided making this public — what with the charge of “Atheist” all around. I wonder if a huge fuss would erupt if somebody chose to swear in (in the post – swear in purely ceremonial photo ops that this amounts to) on a Thomas Jefferson Bible. Should any member of Congress do so, they will have my full and undying support.
I have listened to enough right wing talk radio, and have read the Weekly Standard article a few months back, to know one bullet-point item to be tossed out. He had a youthful fling with Louis Farrakhan, you say? After that, it drops to him simply being a Muslim and a typical Democrat. Glen Beck asks the provocative question, “How can we be sure you’re not working with the enemy?” I see that snuck into this statement:
Maybe he is a plant from radical Muslims who have been looking for a way to invade our political system and start undermining it from that arena.
Presumably al Qaeda just financed, through some secretive channels, the election of Keith Ellison. To serve as one of 435 Congress critters. Because al Qaeda is a great fan of Nancy Pelosi’s “Six for Six” Agenda. They love raising the minimum wage and altering Bush’s Medicare Reform Program — closing the doughnut hole. This strikes me as an incredible waste of terrorist finances.
It occurs to me that Keith Ellison was going to meet the ire of these people eventually. Sooner or later, he would be photographed, whether he wants it or not, genuflecting in the direction of Mecca. This would be the same Muslims are pushing so hard they ‘rights’ in this country, how about a 2 way street?? demand… whatever that other direction on that street is supposed to mean. How dare they shove their Islamic Faith, don’t they realize that this is a CHRISTIAN NATION THAT LOVES JESUS???
So far we have Mein Kampf and Playboys new issue as the end point that Keith Ellison is taking us in. Or maybe Orrin Hatch’s Book of Mormon and Joseph Lieberman’s Torah? I suggest we continue this list of stupid items a member of Congress may end up “swearing in” on. How about Dean Koontz’s latest novel, an old issue of Spiderman, a can of spam, and… what did Rick Santorum suggest in a past life of his (ie: elected official) as the next step beyond gay marriage — into a Dog’s Anus!
