We’ve heard it all before. Without any proof whatsoever, Conservatives go on the radio waves and on television and continue the lies and propaganda that President Obama is a Muslim. And although the Constitution specifically says there shall be no religious test to be president, this particular president is constantly under scrutiny about his religious affiliations. How amazing is the fact that the same people pushing their love for the Constitution of the United States in the media are the same ones putting President Obama through a religious litmus test that– if they had truly ever read the Constitution– they’d know was a worthless effort.

Although Ez, I didn’t know about that particular clause in the Constitution that states basically that the POTUS is allowed to be of any religious persuasion (thanks for that insight!), I fail to see the need for the President to continually emphasize that he is not Muslim. Was this country not built on the premise of freedom from persecution based on one’s religion as well as other freedoms? Is it a crime now to be a Muslim? Would the Birthers have had Obama denounce his religion if he were?
