Herman Cain: Muslims have no place in US government
So we’ve got two probable candidates for the GOP presidential nominees who claim Georgia as their base. One is Newt Gingrich.
This is the other one.
For those who can’t view the video, Herman Cain is asked whether he would be willing to appoint a Muslim as a Cabinet officer or judge.
“No. I will not,” he said. “And here’s why: There’s this creeping attempt — there’s this attempt to gradually ease Sharia law and the Muslim faith into our government.” According to Cain, many American Muslims “are trying to force their Sharia law onto the rest of us.”
That’s just stupid. As in not very bright. By comparison, the Sharia conspiracy crowd makes the birthers look downright sane and reasonable. It will be interesting to see who, if anyone, among the GOP mainstream steps up to repudiate such nonsense. After all, the Constitution explicitly rules out such nonsense, stating point blank that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
I guess Herman Cain doesn’t believe in the Constitution.
Oh, and by the way?
In a speech to Texas evangelicals, Gingrich also took up the theme over the weekend, warning that unless America is saved, his grandchildren “will live in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.”
“a secular atheist country … dominated by radical Islamists?” Wow. That would be some trick.
It’s the kind of rhetorical collision that happens when you’re merely listing scare words needed to scare your audience and not even attempting to communicate cogent thought.

I second McCool: We should let the atheists run it all.
And I think Mr. Jefferson would have agreed too.
But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
In fact the more I think of it the more it occurs to me that Thomas Jefferson is one of our country’s great materialistic atheists. What he’s saying in this quote is that what matters is not whether a fellow citizen believes in one god or thirty one, but whether he breaks my arm (materialism) or picks my pocket (materialism).
Which is why I wish crushing defeat upon Gov. Walker in Wisc. He’s picking his fellow citizens’ pocket, and by extension, mine.
Marx would have nodded his assent: dialectical materialism’s the way to go … y’all …

“Did you see that another one of “those people” was arrested for a bomb plot against the Federal Building in Detroit?
“Those people” of course being the radical right….”
Mr. Mikulich calls himself “The President” (AmVet!!??!!) and complains about the mysterious “card system” which may have caused the assassination of JFK and attempted assassination of Gerald Ford.
NUTJOB, just! Neither right of left. He WAS suspicious of the F.B.I..
This is the funniest part though:
What’s really odd is that court records indicate an FBI agent spotted an abondoned tool bag outside the McNamara Federal Building on Feb. 26. It was picked up by an employee with the Federal Protective Service. But instead of calling in a bomb squad, the employee put the bag in his office for about three weeks before really checking it out.
When they finally ran it through an x-ray machine, they noticed it had contained wires, electrical components and “dense masses” — exactly the kind of stuff that could be a bomb. The Detroit Police bomb squad detonated it on Belle Isle, in the Detroit River, according to the News.
Perhaps he was right to be concerned.
Too funny!

Ok, great, so you’re a sidewalk alumni with no affiliation with Bama. I love it when arguments break out between folks who never attended the school that they fight so hard to defend.
Actually, I was accepted at Alabama, Auburn, and Alabama St. The best scholarship, which was a full academic, came from Alabama St. That’s why I attended school there. I’ve been a UofA fan from the time I could crawl. I never paid a dime to attend college at all. I’m a die-hard Hornet, but I’m also a huge fan of the Tide. I’m just glad that I know that you are not the typical Auburn grad, or I’d have an even worse opinion of the students that attended school there.

“The moment that a state is not founded on a religion, as this one is not, it thereby essentially becomes atheistic, that is, god-less, without a founding god. Statements by our founders that seem to go to the contrary amount to so much 18th C deist window dressing hiding the fact that we are a non-religious nation, which is to say godless and atheist.”
______
There is a big difference between a nation without a founding religion and an atheistic nation. In our own founding documents we reference Nature’s God. Does that make us Pagan? I guess life would be easier if we would admit to ourselves that there is no God and that government is the highest moral and legal authority in the universe, eh?

Last week in Egypt the Muslim majority burned churches to “cleanse” them, how nice of them to want to clean up the trash, yes Jay that is you and me we are the trash… Better yet why is a Florida judge invoking sharia law in a recent case, so wait Jay you what are you saying? That if elected he is not allowed to pick his own cabinet? The question was would he appoint a Muslim, if HE can pick HIS cabinet why not, Obozo picks people who don’t know how to pay taxes, even though they are in charge of making tax law. Or people in charge of making business laws that have NEVER run a lemonade stand. So Jay tell me again how Herman Cain’s remarks have anything to do with the constitution and picking his cabinet?

And some have pointed out that people will vote for race, black or white. Remember the black college students after the ‘08 election? When asked who they voted for, they proudly said Obama.

While Cain is a fool, because there are plenty of Muslims who are patriotic Americans who believe in our Constitution and would be great in our government, Jay is also a fool if he thinks there aren’t Muslims, including influential Imams, who are doing their best to slowly assert legal authority under Sharia law. It’s happened in both Canada and England where the local legal authorities allowed a criminal case to be taken care of within the local Muslim community under the tenets of Sharia law, so while I don’t see it happening here in the US, it’s ludicrous of Jay to act like this sort of thing does not and could not happen.
That said, it would be nice if we could find a good GOP candidate who is truly fiscally conservative, and will focus on that rather than the social stuff that, simply put, will prevent them from being elected President.

I think it is fair to infer the opposite of Mr. Cain’s view, that democrats would allow Muslim terrorists to infiltrate the government. What more evidence would one need that the aversion to “profiling?”
As to Mr. Gingrich’s observation, he is correct except that we already live in a secular humanist society, one hostile to any religious beliefs. So I guess they could both be right, Gingrich now and Cain later.

Sport is one of the very few human endeavors that can be precisely quantified and measured.
If I run a 100 meter race faster than you, it has nothing to do with anything but the clock and our performances.
And the “None of ours are losers” con mentality is at complete odds with that.
So according to ty and wow, obviously the black guys all cheated to get into the NBA, though they inexplicably dominate it.
And they hate that.
Ugly but fun to expose…

“I thought I saw something on the news a week or so ago about a Florida Judge ( I think ) who was going to use Sharia Law in his court”
You didn’t…and if you’d bothered to read even just a few entries above yours, you’d know that.

Some people wouldn’t know “commmon sense” if it bit them on the butt…..
These are the folks wanting to KILL Americans – why would anyone want them in the White House?????

WOW
““No different that a contract stating disputes would be resolved by a rabbi or minister or priest.”
Rabbis and ministers don’t stone their congregation to death.”
AmVet posted a very good video last week explaining how red herrings are used in arguments to divert and give a false impression of presenting evidence.
AmVet, do you suppose you could post the link so WOW can see the error of such a construct?

Dear Poison Pen @ 1:37, the Florida judge and the Sharia Law kerfuffle is phony. The issue was interpretation of a contract. The common law is that two competent parties can incorporate any terms in a contract that are not otherwise illegal under criminal law. Here the parties agreed to invoke “Sharia Law” as the basis for adjudication, and the US Court was merely asked to enforce the agreement between the parties. Not exactly as if Sharia Law was forced onto either party.

No you didn’t.
Otherwise you’ll show me where you did…

Because, contrary to what you would like to think, not ALL Muslims want that.

Jay? I would ask if you’re real name is Jayridmohammed – I can think of three instances where Sharia has been requested and allowed in OUR CONSTITUTIONAL Judicial system. Tampa quickly comes to mind. Spout your vile about this being a Constitutional government and then explain why our leaders say and do nothing about the King Obama upsurping our Constitution while he makes his commandments!!!!!
