In one of my previous posts, I discussed the all-too-typical response by the holier-than-thou righties regarding the first Muslim member of Congress using the Koran in his swearing-in ceremony. The likes of Dennis Prager warned of the evils of "multiculturalist activism", and the fact that the act "undermines American civilization."

Now we have a member of Congress spewing his version of good old red-blooded American bigotry regarding the same subject.

Rep. Virgil Goode mass mailed a letter stating HE was going to have a Bible in HIS hand when he took the oath of office. The Republican from Virginia (how did I know he was from the south?) further suggested that unless everyone adopts HIS position on immigration, there would be "many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran.". Oh my GOD!!!!! What will we do??? How dare these Muslims presume to have the same rights as every other American!! What is this world coming to??

Mr. Goode further warned that we need to limit legal immigration of Muslims if we want to "preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America and to prevent our resources from being swamped." A Native American with the ID "Bearpaw" had a great comment on a discussion board regarding Rep. Goode's comment:

"Clearly things would've been so much simpler if my ancestors hadn't set a bad precedent when they helped the Pilgrims live through the winter. If we'd only known that our resources would've been swamped ..."

Darn that multiculturalism! It's downright un-American!

I remember that we used to have another term for that evil "multiculturalism" in our country. We called it "the great melting pot", and time was, it wasn't such a bad thing. Apparently though, we've since de-evolved into a less tolerant, more bigoted nation. Sad.

Yes indeed, "Bring us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses..." Just as long as they're white, Christian, English-speaking sheeple of European descent.
