Paul's blog

I found another nominee for my NutCase Of The Week category.

I have the urge to write a long rant as to why this particular one is so dangerous. But I will spare you that. Instead I will give a brief introduction, some quotes and a link to a column where he explains his nutty and disturbing views.

The really scary part is, that comments on his column show that so many people actually agree with him. Really scary.

My NCOTW’s name is Dennis Prager, a radio show host and columnist for townhall.com.

The column in question starts thus:

Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim elected to the United States Congress, has announced that he will not take his oath of office on the Bible, but on the bible of Islam, the Koran.

He should not be allowed to do so — not because of any American hostility to the Koran, but because the act undermines American civilization.

*shakes head*

A few more gems:

What Ellison and his Muslim and leftist supporters are saying is that it is of no consequence what America holds as its holiest book; all that matters is what any individual holds to be his holiest book.

*rolls eyes*

Insofar as a member of Congress taking an oath to serve America and uphold its values is concerned, America is interested in only one book, the Bible

*gasping for air*

Ellison’s doing so will embolden Islamic extremists and make new ones, as Islamists, rightly or wrongly, see the first sign of the realization of their greatest goal — the Islamicization of America.

*getting sick*

If you are incapable of taking an oath on that book [ed.: the bible], don’t serve in Congress

*foam on mouth*

On that last one, let me quote here article VI from the US constitution:

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

 

Congratulations Dennis, with making it to my list. You really deserved it.
