For some FReepers, it's The Crucial Question: is Obama a secret Muslim or not? One fellow (whose screen name I cannot recall) was adamant in demanding to see Obama's baptism certificate.

I'm sorry. I have no patience for this idiocy. Shouldn't people have to pass a simple reading comprehension test before being allowed to post on this site?

For the luvofgawd. Where do I begin? So, he comes out and says this stuff about religion. And what, that makes him credible to "certain FReepers?" Maybe to the ones in Rio Linda.

I mean, this is such folly on so many fronts. It's not credible; but even before that, it shouldn't matter in America. You're not freaking elected to go to church. You're elected to uphold the Constitution. Where and what you worship is your own private domain. This is NOT Saudi Arabia.

And if what you worship manifests itself in a way that Americans respect, you just might get yourself elected.

Or at least, that's how it's supposed to work.

But that's Conservatism 101. Were you absent that day?

Uh ... is there some particular reason you decided to behave like a rude SOB toward me?

So you're fine with a Satanist in the White House? Howzabout some wiccan-spouting warlock who'll have wild orgies there as part of his "rituals"? Maybe you'd some tree-hugger who worships the Earth Goddess Gaia?

Oh wait, Algore does...then again he lost.
