The Religious Right Wants to Choose the Republican Candidate for President

By: Hrafnkell Haraldsson

Bryan Fischer pulled no punches yesterday in calling for a candidate for president chosen by a summit composed of Religious Right leaders. “It’s kind of like picking a pope,” said Fischer.

No, it’s not, says the Constitution.

But Fischer is wrong: what he is proposing is really not kind of like, but exactly like. And Catholics beware: your opinion is not welcome. The electors will be Protestants, leaders of the Evangelical community, according to Fischer.

It is almost like the mass media is afraid to ever criticize Christianity or investigate how their religion is influencing their political philosophy....something fair game for all other religions, or if you are not white.
