What happened, did romney quit mormonism during that period? NO, but many principles of mormonsim governed his decisions without open advocation of mormonism.”
You are advocating a state run religion, which is unconstitutional. Romney didn’t have to quit his religion, and the people were not affected by him being a Mormon in Mass.
“Depending upon the president - laws tend to be selectively enforced or ignored - 0bama and holder have done it a lot. Fact is a moslem president WOULD be inclined to support Sharia - by the very nature of the belief system he holds. So come on and get your head out of a hole in the ground.”
We are talking about what a candidate advocates before being elected, and not all Muslims advocate Sharia law in America.
Yes it is different, because Religion is protected by the Constitution.
“Yet the same constitution does NOT prohibit the individual citizens from using what ever criteria for judging the worthiness of a candidate to hold office - in fact the constitution PROTECTS that right.
“BTW, currently abortion has constitutional protection as well - again, are you going to call a person un-american who opposes abortion? Sorry politics, you are flaming out. Spare us your lame version of political correctness saved for the inhabitants of DU.”
But we know there is no right to an abortion in the constitution. You compared evaluating a candidate’s views on abortion to their views on religion, and religion is clearly stated in the constitution, something you don’t value very much, bigot.
Are your replies always this stupid, or are you making a special effort today?
You must have slept through that portion of your civics class. Tell me where I expressly wanted the gov't to LEGISLATE the creation of a state run religion. . . . . .(crickets).
I have advocated the RIGHTS of FREE CITIZENS to use what ever standards THEY deem suitable for evaluating a candidate for office. THAT is still allowed under the CONSTITUTION - as long as thought-police like yourself are held at bay.

The moslem answer would be "How can you call yourself a believer and “detach” yourself from Shariah (Allah’s Law)? Do you prefer the rule of men to the rule of the Divine? Do you not know the verse where your Lord has told that anyone who rules by other than His Law is a disbeliever?" (from a moslem) Further you must be ignorant about Dearborn MI eh?
But we know there is no right to an abortion in the constitution.
Excuse me - but that is not what the Supreme Courts say - whether we believe it or not - it bears the force of law in the land.

Ooooooooh the bigot card is played again - pretty much evidence that you haven't a clue. romney can practice his mormonism ALL HE WANTS - thats protected under the constitution. I can use his religious beliefs to evaluate his qualification for president ALL I WANT and that is protected by the SAME CONSTITUTION.
It seems our little friend here can only rely upon calling people bigots to stigmatize people that pose irrefutably good arguments as to why the constitution preserves our right to evalate candidates for office by any standard we deem correct. Perhaps he'll pull out that same constitution and really read it some day and leave the thought police to other leftists at DU.
