Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard a lot of talk about Obama’s religion. Is he a Muslim, is he a Christian, or is he a practicing  (George)Bush-Doctor from the jungles of Kenya. But what we haven’t heard mentioned is that this question is already settled by the United States Constitution that states no religion test is required for office.

President Barack Obama

Where’s all the patriotic Constitution loving right wingers now. Have I lost anyone yet? Are you still there reading? Okay, continuing…

Article 6 of the Constitution states:

“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

So is that the point where the right wingers tune out? Is this where you “change channel” and switch to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck for reinforcement, for reassurance as to why you should continue questioning President Obama’s religion? So now your pocket size Constitution is irrelevant?

"Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO and listen to a black comic, and all you hear is n****, n*****, n*****. I don't get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing. But when black people say it, it's affectionate. It's very confusing."

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

These are the careless spoken words of Dr. Laura Schlessinger. They were said and repeated by the radio talk-show host on Tuesday, when a caller called into her broadcast seeking advice. The caller, a black woman is married to a white man and began expressing her frustrations over certain words her husband and his family and friends use in her presence.

The caller expected the well respected Dr. Laura - who holds a Ph.D. in physiology from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons - to offer some “no-nonsense advice infused with a strong sense of ethics, accountability, and personal responsibility.” Instead, the caller was spoken to in a demeaning manner by the doctor who used the “N” word a total of 11 times in 5 minutes.

“Of course you won’t answer the phone yourself. ‘Cause you’re chicken sh*t, racists n*ggers. The entire black race is nothing but a have not bunch of bums. You can’t work for yourself, all you do is suck off the white man. F*ck you motherf*ckers! F*CK YOU! You want a race war? You got it mothrf*cker! You wanna f*cking kill our babies and kill white people? You gonna… you… the street will run red with blood! The street will run red with your blood!” Here the full audio here.

Racism

The streets will run red with your blood!

These are the words of someone who is riled up and ready to go! The words were said on a voice mail message left at the NAACP headquarters after racially motivated statements were made by the New Black Panther. The person heard on the message is talking about the blood of his fellow American citizens that he is personally willing to shed, for no other reason, simply because the color of their skin is different than his.

This is where we now find ourselves as a so-called, civilized society. We are talking about the country that is the land of the Free and home of the brave. We are a country that, over the last 80 years have sent hundreds of thousands of troops overseas to fight and die for freedom, and where there are still thousands of troops fighting now under the guise of security for America and freedom for Middle Eastern citizens. This country, The United States of America has now been brainwashed, downgraded and degraded to this point in our civil discourse, where we are angrily promising to fill the streets with the blood of fellow citizens because of race.
