Were talking past each other at this point.
Do you believe that Candidates for President should be prohibited from expressing the opinion that Muslims should not be elected to the highest office in the country?
Do you believe that a Candidate for President who declares that Muslims should not be trusted to hold the office of President should be disqualified from running?
So, you're ok with "no Scientologist being prez?"
How about Mormons?
What about Seventh-Day Adventist being elected Pres? Cause many Christian denominations consider them a cult.
He is not expressing a religious opinion. He is expressing a political opinion to violate his oath of office should the situation arise.
You can not seem to understand that the “ no religious test” clause restrains government not voters. Why is that?
Any American who supports Kelo is a liberal. It does not matter what SCOTUS held. If you support taking property from citizen A to benefit citizen B, you are a liberal writ large.
Can you define what you mean by "disqualified"?
Would that mean if you were the sectretary of State of some state that you would not allow that person to appear on the ballot?
Would that mean that you would not allow that person to take the oath of office if elected?
Or is this just your own personal opinion and that you would not vote for that person (even if the other person was totally opposed to your political views)?
So define "disqualified".
He is not expressing a religious opinion.
Sure he is. He is expressing an opinion about the theology of Islam.
He is expressing a political opinion to violate his oath of office should the situation arise.
BS, LS. How would he violate his oath of office if he were president and he did not believe a Muslim should have his job?
Then you can not support Trump because the “TAKINGS” clause does not mention benefiting private citizens.
In my last post, that was your statement not mine. It should have been in italics.
The United States should be as free of Muslims as Saudi Arabia is free of Cbristians.
Ben is right. I’ll go one step further: We should be able to legally shoot any member of the muslim brotherhood on sight.
Oh, and take away valjar’s (unauthorized by any statute) ss protection.
Christians!
So in your world when the Supreme Court has issued an opinion then that is the same thing as if the Country had gone through a Constitutional Convention and came up with that same opinion.
In your world then, anyone who opposes Gay Marriage should be disqualified from being President. Correct?
Why not, if the American electorate was stupid enough to elect him?
It isn’t like we haven’t had a bunch of racist Democrats in the White House before this, from Woodrow Wilson to LBJ.
1.) Congress will never do its duty to call the state amendments convention you oppose.
2.) Islam is a barbaric social and political system in religious drag. It is incompatible with western civilization, and seeks to destroy the American republic. Since the bill of rights isn't a suicide pact, islam deserves zero religious protection under the 1st Amendment.
We already have a Muslim President. I don’t want another one.
He can run; but he can’t hide.
Ben is saying he wouldn’t knowingly vote for a Muslim for president. I wouldn’t either.
Entirely rational and constitutional.
LS seems to think that you can not be anti abortion and POTUS because 5 perfumed princes made a new law in Roe.
Or a Scientologist. Or a Fundamentalist Mormon. Or a Hare Krishna. Or a Tree Worshipper. Or a Vegan. Or a Wiccan. Or an Atheist. Or a supporting Member of the Presbyterian Church USA or the Liberal gay loving Episcopal Church.
A man's religion more often than not says a lot about their politics.
Thanks Ben. How can you expect someone to be faithful to an oath that they do not believe in.
But as we have seen, they would be willing to lie to get the power.
Catholics believe in free will
Mormons believe in free will
Muslims do not. They preach tyranny.
Should a communist be president? They believe in tyranny.
This is not about a religion, this is about political beliefs.
Islam is a religion and politics wrapped up in one. They believe in a tyrannical theocracy.
Ben is right.
Islam is not a religion, it's a political system.
