since there are at least two Muslim members of Congress and Lord knows how many in state and local office, it would seem to be a moot point, nicht wehr? I’m burning your straw men as quickly as I can...Go back to your original context. A religious test for POTUS. Article V of the Constitution has been associated with that phrase ("religious test"). Article V of the Constitution doesn't address Congressional or state-house candidates, now does it???
So, first you use language found in reference to ONLY the POTUS candidacy. I address that by using a Muslim parallel (& other cult) parallels. And now you're digressing by veering off into races not even covered by Article V of the Constitution...
So...now we're discussing Congressional races???
...State-house races?
...What next, 'DIVISIonvet, local dog-catcher races?
Will you then cite how many local dog-catchers are either Muslim or Mormon to prove some esoteric political point???
And, then what? Who are you going to quote as some "opposition" supposedly attempting to keep all Muslims, Scientologists, and Mormons "out" as local dog-catchers??? (Talk about extreme straw men)
Hey, if Mitt hadn't put his dog on top of his station wagon and drove him cross-country on a vacation, I'd endorse Mitt for dog-catcher.
Hey, if Mitt hadn't put his dog on top of his station wagon and drove him cross-country on a vacation, I'd endorse Mitt for dog-catcher. Hey! he built a plywood windbreak of some sort, and the dog made it safe and sound (maybe loved the trip, too. An ultimate hang-the-tongue-out-the-window opportunity...)
The Muslim probably wouldn't be very good at dog "catching". Their religion (extreme forms of it anyway) teaches that dogs are unclean (Mad Mo said so! end of story!). We want our "catchers" to bring animals in, not shoot them on the street, like they were modern-day policemen or something.
So Mitt should be given extra credit for inventiveness, allowing the dog to come along on vacation with the family. Kennels are a real drag, it's like doggy jail for the innocent. Just ask any dog who's been in one. It's only slightly better than being in that other doggy jail, the Pound.
Now if he had made his wife or kids ride on top, with the dog being the privileged caste, then maybe there would be a problem...
