OATH-TAKING AND KEITH ELLISON

Yes, he should take the oath in the manner as asked and expected to. In American, we do not have one set of rules for Christians, one set for Jews, one set for Hindus, one set for Athiests and another set for those that just don't feel like it.

Keep up the good blogging.

I like your spunky impertinence, and your proud claim of patriotism, another one of those ideas that Liberals are trying to extinguish in hopes of removing everything and anything that can cause friction between people [good luck to that!]. And anyone who refuses to acknowledge the Christian traditions this country is based upon is just willfully revising history [gee another Liberal habit. I am starting to see a pattern here...]. Anyway, good post!

Thanks for visiting and commenting on my site.

As you noted, never has the term "cannon fodder" been more aptly used than in regards to those who are convinced to blow themselves up for Allah. The world never lacks the despondent or envious, and Islam, because it offers a religious justification, offers these outcasts a cause that is extremely seductive. I always wonder why these fools never wonder why the leaders aren't rushing to kill themselves and get some of those virgins waiting in Paradise, but I guess man's ignorance, like love, is blind.

I, too, look forward to more exchanges with you.

"Thus, in a way to which other sacred writings do not conform, to allow someone to swear an oath of office with only a Koran is really allowing them to swear upon the quintessential symbol, the political constitution, if you will, of a theocracy that has vowed to overcome and to destroy virtually everything for which our Constitution stands. Fundamental Islam is by definition a merging of mosque and state, and it is a transnational state that has declared war on us."
