Carly Fiorina has supplied yet another reason she should not get anywhere near the White House. Forget about her supporting the DREAM Act, although that’s bad enough.
She thinks a Muslim should be president. Responding to Ben Carson’s belief that Muslim should not be president, Fiorina explained where Carson erred to Jimmy Fallon:
Jimmy Fallon: Ben Carson is in a lot of trouble now because he is saying that he would not advocate a Muslim being president.
Carly Fiorina: Well, I think that’s wrong. It says in our Constitution that religion cannot be a test for office. It’s also true that this country was founded on the principle that we judge each individual and that anyone of any faith is welcome here. I actually believe that people of faith make better leaders. Where they are Christians, as I am, my faith has sustained me through some very bad times. I’ve battled cancer, I’ve lost a child, I’ve been tested. But, whether it’s a person of Christian faith, or Jewish faith, or Muslim faith, or other faiths, I think faith gives us humility and empathy and optimism and I think those are important.
Fallon: So you would be fine with that?
Fiorina: Yes, I would be fine with that.
Here, Fiorina not only betrays a stupendous ignorance of Islam and Muslims, but also tells a big fib: i.e., “This country was founded on the principle that we judge each individual and that anyone of any faith is welcome here”
Not according to John Jay, one of the Founding Fathers. “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers,” he wrote in a letter.
As for who should come into the country, Jay wrote thusly in Federalist No. 2: “Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people — a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs.”
The idea that the founders, including Adams and Jefferson, thought anyone could be an American is flatly ridiculous.
Keep in mind that in the late 18th-century, the mass migration of two bazillion Muslims or Mexicans was not possible.
She is an idiot. She may think she is being clever,
She's not an idiot. What she is doing is playing retail politics and trying to gather enough votes to win.
Do any of you REALLY think somebody like Louis Farrakhan is going to get elected by running as a radical Muslim. Yeah,maybe in Trenton or Detroit,but not in the rest of the country.
" What she is doing is playing retail politics and trying to gather enough votes to win. "
I seriously doubt her espousing pro islam is going to garner her any votes.
As suicidally nutty as this God damned country has become, she might start a major trend that people rush to catch on to to show their tolerance then ride it into the White House whore house. I have absolutely no faith in the American people. If they had any brains or integrity at all, they would realize most of the so-called presidental candidates would not qualify as dog catcher and would have a bounty placed on their heads for their deliberate insult to the American people. They are a disgrace to the nation and the people who listen to them are a disgrace.
