More Not So Goode Hate
Rep. Virgil Goode is at it again, intent it seems to keep on digging until he hits rock bottom. He penned an op-ed for USA Today in which he continues to use the faux brouhaha over Muslim Congressman-elect Keith Ellison's ascension to the House as a rallying cry for tougher immigration laws. Here's a choice excerpt, delivered without the slightest hint of irony (emphasis mine).
Meme has reactions which are all worth a read.
Update: Interesting development in this trumped up saga. Seems that Ellison will be swearing in on a very special Koran: One that was owned by none other than Thomas Jefferson himself. What does Goode, who incidentally represents Jefferson's home district, have to say about it?
No comment.
Sam Fleischacker schools us in how the Founding Fathers might view this loathsome episode of religious intolerance.
Let us remember that we were not attacked by a nation on 9/11; we were attacked by extremists who acted in the name of the Islamic religion. I believe that if we do not stop illegal immigration totally, reduce legal immigration and end diversity visas, we are leaving ourselves vulnerable to infiltration by those who want to mold the United States into the image of their religion, rather than working within the Judeo-Christian principles that have made us a beacon for freedom-loving persons around the world.
