The writer of that article would likely connect the two and say that I too, advocate "eliminating" all homosexuals because I post here too.
See the flaw in that logic? Ellison is an elected congressman and his electorate had every chance to examine these issues that make him allegedly "unfit" to serve. The biggest one that everyone is freaking out about? He's a Muslim.
I'm having the same conversation in a Christian forum online right now -- it's really amazing to me how quickly the majority Christians are willing to forsake freedom of religion because it's a religion that's not their own. We should just change it to "freedom of Christianity," so that they don't have to pretend to actually support freedom of religion anymore.
Basically what I'm saying? This article is a partisan, ideologically flawed piece of crap.

Wait until they elect a Wiccan Congressperson and he/she wants to take the oath skyclad...lol!! I agree with Brian...his religion is his business, if he violates laws then that will be addressed...apparently he has managed to live his entire life up to now without blowing up buildings, why is it now a concern??? He should swear his oath on whatever book he deems holy...I don't care if it's the next issue of XMen! this is nothing more than religious intolerance all dressed up as concern for the Constitution!
