founding fathers

"I don't want anybody to persecute any religion including Islam, but we have a duty as Americans to understand that they intend to take us over and compel us to become Islamic,"  Lee Douglas says. (Huffington Post)

The Governor of Tennessee hired a staff person who among other things happens to be a Muslim. It seems that for those living in Tennessee no matter your birthright, if your religion does not fit into the parameters of anything Protestant, you “ain’t got no rights to work for the state of Tennessee, so says Lee Douglas, a dentist just south of Nashville and an anti-Shariah activist. He adds The First Amendment may provide the freedom to practice all religions, but, according to Douglas, the "government is showing a deference and is accommodating one single religion — Islam, Shariah," (Huffington Post).

Mr. Douglas is not a lone voice nor the only loony voice coming from Tennessee when it comes to racist rant. He has a grassroots organization infecting all of the counties in Tennessee. Mr. Douglas adds, deference should be shown to the religion of the country's Founding Fathers.(Huffington Post).

If we follow Mr. Douglas’s illogic thought process, one might wonder how the Jews in America get away following their religion as not a single Founding Father was Jewish. And one might wonder how the hell Mitt Romney could even run for president since there was not a Mormon listed as a Founding Father. If we pay close attention to Mr. Douglas and his gaggle of goons we would notice this man has NO IDEA what our Founding Fathers wanted to found in the first place.

This new brand of Republican/Tea Party person is crawling from the netherworld built on hate, misinformation fermented by fear and loathing. He has been given a boost by the urging of the success of the new Republican/Tea Party to go big on bigotry and bias. The new brand of Republican/Tea Party loser, bases all fact on the interpretation of their Bible assuming it trumps anything written in the US Constitution. And no one in the leadership role of the Republican/Tea Party seems to have found the balls or backbone to stop, immediately in their dirty tracks, this brand of hooligan from seeding more of their own madness.  “You ain’t like me”, so it seems so I don’t want you in my America!

For me, a word from Romney/Ryan and their band of boys and girls acting as surrogates should reply dramatically to the low life like Mr. Dennis and say, STOP, this is not the America we see the Republican/Tea Party living. We should hear corrections whenever racist, homophobic rhetoric is bandied about. Instead however we either get silence or the comment, this is a state rights issue and I do not want to infringe on their rights. Or we get innuendo and code from the candidates slyly saying the same thing but less obvious.

This incident from Tennessee  IS NOT a fluke. Nope it is all a part of the plan to scare, separate and seclude certain people from participating fairly and freely in American democracy.

When you vote Republican/Tea Party in November you empower a whole of people like Mr. Dennis. And if you find that okay then suddenly your conscience must have faded to nothing of importance at all.
