I guess I shouldn't be surprised, even though he is an actual Congressman...

I really have a hard time finding words fit to describe the idiocy. What's wrong with some people?

My thoughts exactly.

I guess I shouldn't really be shocked... braindead ignorant morons have been elected to office from everywhere for a long time now.
Doesn't make it any less appalling though.

Best part of the whole article.

Quote Ellison dismissed Goode's comments, saying they seemed ill informed about his personal origins as well as about Constitutional protections of religious freedom. ``I'm not an immigrant,'' added Ellison, who traces his American ancestors back to 1742.


The guy everyone is having a fit over is a black man who converted in college. Not to mention, he is swearing in his allegance to America [the country in which we live] with his hand on his holy book, which is the same he is doing. If he was really planning on hurting America because of claims in the book [assuming terrorism is what some people are worried about] would he swear he wouldn't do it on the same holy book?

Yet it's hardly surprising, given the number of crazy uber-christians we have populating the country. I bothers me too- I always thought christians were supposed to practice love and tolerance...

Dammit, I forgot that one. Maybe that goes under the 'love' category?

Meh. It doesn't really surprise me at all.

This country was founded on "religious freedom," but that has never been practiced here.

So let me get this straight.   You guys are bashing members of one faith who you **assume** are bashing believers of another faith. Thats not too hypercritical. To quote procarbinefreak "wow... just... wow..."

Not assuming at all. The man said so.

In his letter, which was dated Dec. 5, Goode said Americans needed to ``wake up'' or else there would ``likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Quran.''

``I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America and to prevent our resources from being swamped,''

Tae Kwon Do I actually agree with you on the subject, however saying all Christians are in favor of this is like saying all Muslims are terrorists.

We all know that. No one said  all christians think that way, yet there are christians that do think that way, and their numbers are too large for comfort.

I am not, nor are most in this thread, saying all Christians are in favor with this man. However, the person saying these things and a wide majority of the people echoing his idea are Christians.
