Virgil Goode's still at it!

In an op-ed in USA Today Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) continues his anti-immigrant, anti-Islamic rants. Though he denies calling for religious tests (which is contrary to the Constitution) his anti-Islamic statements do the same thing. He calls for limits on immigration as a way of protecting Judeo-Christian values. I might remind him that the largest group of immigrants, especially the illegal ones, come from Latin America, which last I knew was predominantly Christian.

Anyway, here's the concluding paragraph so you can see it for yourself. We must limit Muslims, in fact I think he'd like to eliminate Muslims from immigration, to protect ourselves against another 9-11. Now we must be vigilant against allowing terrorists into the country, but that's not the same thing. Besides, Mr. Goode, Keith Ellison isn't an immigrant!

Let us remember that we were not attacked by a nation on 9/11; we were attacked by extremists who acted in the name of the Islamic religion. I believe that if we do not stop illegal immigration totally, reduce legal immigration and end diversity visas, we are leaving ourselves vulnerable to infiltration by those who want to mold the United States into the image of their religion, rather than working within the Judeo-Christian principles that have made us a beacon for freedom-loving persons around the world.

Yes it is true “that we were not attacked by a nation on 9/11; we were attacked by extremists who acted in the name of the Islamic religion.” While the extremists are very vocal in their highly successful attempts at the Islamification of the west, the moderates are virtually silent. I believe that the separation of church and state is vital to the protection of the sovereignty of our nation. The strength of America may very well come from the separation of church and state, but unless that separation is strengthened, it may very well be our undoing.
