Herman Cain Sets An Interviewer Straight

[Caroljo]

Yes he was,at the time when he was running for president that very question did come up about putting his catholic belief before the constitution.
It was quite a debate at the time and he answered it to the satisfaction of the American public and became elected.

What was his answer?

That the constitution comes first and formost.

There's a problem with that too...if you're really a christian. God is always supposed to come 1st in your life, no matter what. It doesn't mean that you have to go around preaching to everyone, but if you're a truthful person you will admit that.

That whole thing was about putting forth Catholic law's , just like it is now with sharia law's.

I'm really a Christian and I don't have a problem with it. We are a nation of laws and the Constitution is the standard by which all other laws must pass muster. If you want to run for office and are conflicted by your personal religious beliefs, then perhaps holding office isn't what you should do.

Herman Cain is a certifiable retard.

I'm just surprised that they don't make him wear a helmet whenever he walks around.

Hatin' on the black guy, huh?

Racist.

stick "RACIST" in that dark stinking moist place you stick your head every night.....

American President: John Fitzgerald Kennedy: Campaigns and Elections

Even more unsettling to many Protestants was the prospect of a Roman Catholic, who might be "controlled" by the Catholic Church, as the nation's President. Kennedy chose to tackle the religious issue openly and directly, giving a series of speeches designed to address any misgivings about his faith and voluntarily subjecting himself to a round of questioning about his views on church-state relations by leading Protestant clergy in Houston. The group's conclusion that they were satisfied with his answers provided a degree of comfort for many non-Catholic voters.
​

What "exactly" did he say to convince his unAmerican detractors he could be trusted?

He probably said, "Sharia law is stupid and barbaric."

And so 8th fucking Century.

My problem with this is, i hate the thought that there wouldn't be ANY God-fearing people in our government. I can't imagine what kind of laws would pass then...and being Christian would probably end up being against the law. Our rights are quickly going away as it is! Yes, we're a nation of laws and the Constitution is the standard...but look what this administration has tried to do to the Constitution in the short time in office...
We're supposed to obey the law, pay our taxes, pray for our leaders...but the Bible does not tell us we have to respect or like what our "leaders" are doing.

I have no problem with Chistians holding office. As a Christian, I prefer it. That being said, I don't delude myself into social conservatism and believe that we must pass laws that favor our beliefs and force them on others. Laws should be fair and neutral. Government should be impartial. We complain about socialism, but social conservatism is just the flip side of the coin. It's some one with a political agenda wanting to use government to control your life. My child's religious and moral upbringing will be done at my hands and my church's, not my government's. Government needs to govern by following the constitution and keeping our liberty secure. If we want to change or influence society, we do that one person at a time thru sharing and living our faith and principles. Morality can not be legislated.

I generally agree, our laws must be fair...but they usually aren't. There's always a group of people out there to argue over anything. I understant that no matter what the law is, someone isn't going to like it. Probably the biggest issue i have is when it comes to abortions. To me, it's murder. So when people talk about making laws to make it legal, in any way, i will fight it. It's my tax money too that would end up paying for these abortions. Unless they come up with another way to pay for it, i'll fight that tooth and nail to keep it from happening. I refuse to help people kill innocent children.

Abortion in the United States — Infoplease.com


Public Funding
•The U.S. Congress has barred the use of federal Medicaid funds to pay for abortions, except when the woman's life would be endangered by a full-term pregnancy or in cases of rape or incest.
•About 14% of all abortions in the United States are paid for with public funds, virtually all of which are state funds. 17 states (Ala., Ariz., Calif., Conn., Hawaii, Ill., Mass., Md., Minn., Mont., N.J., N.M., N.Y., Ore., Vt., Wash., W.Va.) pay for abortions for some poor women.
•Without publicly funded family planning services, an estimated 1.3 million additional unplanned pregnancies would occur annually; about 632,300 would end in abortion.
