Congressman Virgil Goode (R-NC) is the latest to jump on the anti-Muslim bandwagon. He's even built in an anti-immigration twist. It's a pity he's such as ass -- he's not bad looking.
Contrast Keith Ellison's response to him and Prager:
Well, I think, again, you know, we need to dust off the Constitution and actually read it. It says specifically, explicitly, that there is no religious test for elected office. You don't have to use any book at all.
I think that, you know, if we are going to call ourselves patriots – and I certainly do — if we're going to talk about how much we love America, and Lord knows I do, that we should know that the basis of our democracy is the Constitution which expressly prohibits the application of a religious test to hold elected office.
I just think we — you know, this is an opportunity for us to have a little civics lesson in America and to help people really understand the underpinnings of our great country.
No contest.
