National Debate to Start November 5, 2008: Be There!
Thirteen per cent (13%) of the American electorate still
think that Barack Obama is a Muslim. When presented with this, Obama
correctly cites his heavily documented Christianity and decries the fact
that Islam is being used as an element of fear-mongering. He does not
even suggest the question: "So, what if I were a Muslim? Would that
really be important?" Having at least some political skills, he
clearly understands that this is a question he should not ask during a
campaign.
So, on November 5, the day after the general election, we
need to discuss this. What religious faith, or position, if any, would
or should disqualify a person from the presidency? Muslim?
Buddhist? Hindu? Jew? Scientologist? Agnostic?
Atheist? Mormon? Drooling and raving are inevitable but are to
be discouraged.

NOTE: Depending on the outcome of the
election,
this debate may be postponed in favor of:
"Oh my God! What did we just do?" |
