Bigots Don't Deserve to Vote

I'm so sick of hearing about whether Barack Obama is a Muslim or not. He says he's not...that's fine, who cares? I've read people saying that since his father is Muslim, he--by definition--is also a Muslim, and then they go on to bash him and call him a threat to national security and a terrorist. He's not a Muslim, alright? If he says it, I'll believe it, there is something in this country we like to call freedom of religion.

Also, I'd prefer if all the bigoted dolts who apparently frequent political arguments would stop referring to Muslims as "terrorists"--being Muslim no more makes you a terrorist than being a Christian makes you a good person. There are MANY exceptions to both rules. In fact, there is plenty of Christian terrorism--white Christian supremacists who commit hate crimes against Muslims, Jews, etc.--and then go spread the word to the rest of their ilk on the internet. Those people need to remember something called the Ku Klux Klan before they go off referring to themselves as good Christians.

I'm an Atheist, and I have no shame in admitting that. Two of my best friends are half Jewish/half Muslim and half Jewish/half Buddhist, they are dating a Roman Catholic and an Episcopalian. One of our other friends is an Evangelist, another is a Lutheran. If those are the kind of things that matter to YOU in judgment of people's character or intentions, than you ought to be dragged out in the street and shot, because you do not deserve the right to vote.
