Tougher Questions for the Candidates.

[Sallow]

From the NY Times:

1. Is it fair to question presidential candidates about details of their faith?
2. Is it fair to question candidates about controversial remarks made by their pastors, mentors, close associates or thinkers whose books they recommend?
3. (a) Do you agree with those religious leaders who say that America is a “Christian nation” or “Judeo-Christian nation?” (b) What does that mean in practice?
4. If you encounter a conflict between your faith and the Constitution and laws of the United States, how would you resolve it? Has that happened, in your experience?
5. (a) Would you have any hesitation about appointing a Muslim to the federal bench? (b) What about an atheist?
6. Are Mormons Christians, in your view? Should the fact that Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman are Mormons influence how we think of them as candidates?
7. What do you think of the evangelical Christian movement known as Dominionism and the idea that Christians, and only Christians, should hold dominion over the secular institutions of the earth?
8. (a) What is your attitude toward the theory of evolution? (b) Do you believe it should be taught in public schools?
9. Do you believe it is proper for teachers to lead students in prayer in public schools?

This needs to happen before the General election.

I was waiting for some idiot to post this.

Rick Santorum is a Catholic, we all know how radical Catholics are,
Michelle Bachmann is Lutheran, another group of radicals.
Rick Perry is a Methodist, more radicalism.

I have never seen such a radical group of candidates in history.

Tell me something, why didn't you demand answers to these questions from Obama?

You're a little vague on history..aren't ya?

1. Is it fair to question presidential candidates about details of their faith?

Yes

2. Is it fair to question candidates about controversial remarks made by their pastors, mentors, close associates or thinkers whose books they recommend?

Absofuckinglutely!!
3. (a) Do you agree with those religious leaders who say that America is a “Christian nation” or “Judeo-Christian nation?” (b) What does that mean in practice?

Yes. You never allow Godless Marxists Cocksuckers to hold political office

4. If you encounter a conflict between your faith and the Constitution and laws of the United States, how would you resolve it? Has that happened, in your experience?

Dumb question.

5. (a) Would you have any hesitation about appointing a Muslim to the federal bench? (b) What about an atheist?

A. Yes. B. Absofuckinglutely

6. Are Mormons Christians, in your view? Should the fact that Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman are Mormons influence how we think of them as candidates?

Do you wear kneepads when you suck Obama's dick?

7. What do you think of the evangelical Christian movement known as Dominionism and the idea that Christians, and only Christians, should hold dominion over the secular institutions of the earth?

No idea, next dumb question.

8. (a) What is your attitude toward the theory of evolution? (b) Do you believe it should be taught in public schools?

Liberal haven't evolved

Yes I believe that we should teach how fundamentally stupid Libs are

9. Do you believe it is proper for teachers to lead students in prayer in public schools?

Yes

By your answers you clearly have a problem with rectifying the constitution with vis-a-vis religious freedom. Why then, did you answer question 4 with "Dumb question."?

And, in my opinion, if candidates trot out social issues and their personal religious views, these questions should be asked and answered. If they stay on the secular path and do not campaign on social issues, these questions should be avoided as they are irrelevant and personally intrusive.

I have no problem eviscerating Alinsky questions and questioners. Besides the Amish and Mohammed Ali, I've never heard of anyone having a problem reconciling their Faith and the US Constitution, accordingly, it's a dumb question

You would not appoint a Muslim or an atheist to the bench! Is that a 'constitutional' position? If so, please cite in the constitution where Muslims and atheists are an excluded class.

Should you be inspecting toilets rather than misreading posts?
The question was whether he would have a problem appointing a Muslim or atheist. Not whether he thought it was Constitutional or not.
Would you have a problem appointing a Satanist or pedophile to the bench? Can you show i the Constitution where those are prohibited?

A convicted pedophile should not and cannot be appointed to the bench. Satanists have not been an excluded class since Salem 1692.

See, I might appoint a Muslim but I want to personally review his FBI files first.

As far as atheist, I might also appoint one to the bench but he could not also be a Marxist. He'd have to be sincere and not have a Marxist heart beating inside his atheist beliefs and there's maybe a .0000001% chance of finding one

Wouldn't you want to personally inspect every appointee's FBI files? Why the blatant prejudice against a Muslim jurist?

Isn't it true that Americans are presumed innocent until proven guilty? Isn't it true that you cannot presume guilt? What part of the constitution do you like? Apparently there are large parts of the constitution you do not agree with.

This needs to happen before the General election.

So now RELIGION is important to you? It certainly didn't matter to you that you supported a community organizer that was a 20 year member of a racist-separatist church--who's pastor was screaming:

GOD DAMN AMERICA Rev Jeremiah Wright, Farrakhan & Obama - YouTube

And NOW you want "tougher" questions to be "asked" of GOP candidates--when the left wing media in this country threw Barack Obama soft balls--and literally went out of their way to NOT ask any TOUGH questions of him during his campaign.

YEAH right--

Jeremiah Wright: Obama 'Threw Me Under The Bus'

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eel1HZw81Is]Hagee: God Sent Hitler. Lieberman: Hagee's Like Moses! - YouTube[/ame]
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_aslUanY2w&feature=related]Pastor Hagee says God sent Hitler to move the Jews to Israel - YouTube[/ame]
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd74y4hvdhs]John Benefiel: The Statue of Liberty Is a "Demonic Idol" - YouTube[/ame]

Perry threw either of these hucksters "under the bus"?

At least Wright, a veteran and a cardiopulmonary specialist who has served his country and Presidents, had an excuse for his outrage..that being slavery and being assigned second class citizen status in his own country.

What excuse is there for either Hagee or Benefiel?

It isn't an issue of guilt or innocence. It is an issue of fitness for office. Muslims present more issues than members of other religions for obvious reasons.

I don't want to have appointed a Jihadist, foreign or domestic, to the bench

Yeah. We are taking over. All your base are belong to us.

Here he is getting grilled, just grilled by Harry Smith.
Notice that he claims to have known the depth of the financial crisis when he got into office. Something he claimed otherwise later on.

no. I was referring to political ideolgy, not political party. You cannot hide behind the skirts of political party once political ideology has betrayed the truth.

This needs to happen before the General election.

So let me get this straight. The first question asks if if it's fair to ask about religious backgrounds, and then every other question after that is directed towards their religious backgrounds? Idotic much?

No candadite should be asked about their religion, because trying to discern just how much their religion influences their decisions is an impossible task. I bet you can find a born and bred Catholic that's able to make rational judgments based on facts and not faith. Religion should NEVER be a deciding factor in politics, if it is then you're an idiot.

Past affiliations are a completely different story though. They say a lot about who you are.
