Virgil, you're no Goode!

It appalls me to see how dumb some of our politicians are! Take for instance, Rep. Virgil Goode, a Republican from my home state of Virginia. He is putting up a fuss that Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, will be taking his Oath of office on the Quoran. Mr. Goode says that this is a result of tolerance towards Muslims, and that it's an example of why we need immgration reforms. Virgil, before you stick your foot in your mouth any further, let me point a couple of things out to you:

1: Mr. Ellison was born and raised in Detroit, and converted to Islam in college.
2: As a 6 term member of Congress, youshould know that taking the oath on a book weather it be the Bible, Quoran, Torah, or whatever, is just a photo op, the official oath is taken en mass, on the floor of the house.

3: Have you not read the First Amendment to the Constitution that you swear to defend?

4: You are an embarrassment to both me and the rest of the State of Virginia!
