Let's begin here: According to the United States Constitution, 'no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust...'
Yesterday, conservative pundit, Rush Limbaugh was using his usual irrational, mean-spirited Republican slanted opinions as defense of Republican Presidential Candidate Ben Carson who stated a few days ago that a Muslim should never be President of the United States.
Does this crap sound familiar? It should. President John F. Kennedy had to address a bunch of bigoted Southern Protestants attempting to convince these prejudice, less than Christlike people, that if elected as the first Roman Catholic President, he would not yield to the Vatican.
Whereas Rush Limbaugh is always excused for his bigotry, Ben Carson should know better. Surely, with all his illustrious formal education, Ben came across those American times when women were not worthy of the vote. He surely read about days gone by when folks of his color was considered as three-quarter human beings. They could not be President because of bigotry nor could they vote.
Actually, when Ben Carson entered the Presidential race and I became aware of his Seventh Day Adventist beliefs, I thought back then that some doofus would make an ignorant-ass negative comment about Carson's faith. I'll be damn, if it's not Carson saying something so idiotic.
