You don't get it.
I support Free-markets. However, Norquist has been blidned by the universalist belef that everyone is ready to be a Jeffersonian.
He fails to see culture or religion. The Islamists don't want to be like America. They want to control America.

On religion, the Constitution is clear in TWO places.

Article VI, Clause 3: "[B]ut no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

The First Amendment is also quite clear: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof[.]"

Are EITHER of those clauses unclear?

I also see NO reference to "culture" in the Constitution at all. Would you care to point that out to me, or tell me when the amendment adding that sort of consideration was passed?
