Rep. Virgil Goode is an idiot
Or something like this. What follows below is a transcript of a speech he gave on the house floor.
----------
We are in the middle of a four-day marathon here. While I cannot say that I agree with all of the actions of the president in dealing with Iraq, I will not be supporting H.Con.Res. 63. The eyes of the world are upon this House and there will be commentary from the Middle East to the streets of small town America about what we do here over this four-day period even though this resolution does not carry the weight of law.
When the commentary begins in the Middle East, in no way do I want to comfort and encourage the radical Muslims who want to destroy our country and who want to wipe the so-called infidels like myself and many of you from the face of the Earth. In no way do I want to aid and assist the Islamic jihadists who want the crescent and star to wave over the Capitol of the United States and over the White House of this country. I fear that radical Muslims who want to control the Middle East and ultimately the world would love to see "In God We Trust" stricken from our money and replaced with "In Muhammad We Trust."
----------
I have to wonder where to start. First of all, a Muslim, particularly the radical muslims Goode fears so much, would never allow such a thing to happen. That would be heresy to them. The phrase would have to be "In Allah We Trust" for it to be acceptable to them. Of course, if we are going to be printing this in English, you would have to translate the arabic word allah to English which translates as "god". So in essence, nothing about our money would change. Amazing!
Secondly, how can you even conceive that any congressman or senator wants the islamic fundamentalists to win and take over our country.
Ok, well bedtime, enough of this pointless ranting. But this guy is an idiot.
