Democrats: Christians should not get to vote

Interesting view..

Here's an interesting view point from a well known Democrat: Born again Christians shouldn't get to vote:

Following University President Don Randel’s warm introduction, the famed author, host, and wry wit of A Prairie Home Companion, started by commenting on election results.

“I am a Democrat—it’s no secret. I am a museum-quality Democrat,” Keillor said. “Last night I spent my time crouched in a fetal position, rolling around and moaning in the dark.”

Not one to shy away from speaking his mind, Keillor proposed a solution to what he deemed a fundamental problem with U.S. elections. “I’m trying to organize support for a constitutional amendment to deny voting rights to born-again Christians,” Keillor smirked. “I feel if your citizenship is in Heaven—like a born again Christian’s is—you should give up your citizenship. Sorry, but this is my new cause. If born again Christians are allowed to vote in this country, then why not Canadians?”

"I can hear it now....

"are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the christian church.....""


Nah, they'd never have the guts for that. As of now they just check up on nominees, ask some leading questions, and then filibuster their nomination or ignore them politically. As far as voters, all they can do is whine and try to scare people with vague conspiracies, just like they did with socialists. The McCarthy parallel is even the same in Hollywood, if not quite as bad... yet...

lemme see some contemporary documentation of any bonafide union with a charter that calls for replacing our constitution with the communist manifesto.  while youre looking, check out the 2004 texas republican party platform...specifically the plank that calls for pretty much the same thing as the nrm's statement. otherwise mb's fantasyworld union=communism analogy is not merely unsalient...it's just plain old pointless

YOu just lost.  Check out the Wobblies.  Still around and Kicking.  DId you know that Samuel Gompers was a member of the Wobblies?

I would say that is the point, set and match.  You lose.

ALMOST as pointless as an idiotic "Christians with political power"="A Theocracy" analogy...
