Video says it all. I don’t even really need to comment on it.
But I will anyway.
Changing the Constitution to align it with the word of God is straight out of the Iran playbook. In 1980, the Ayatollah amended their constitution as follows:
“Article 2
The Islamic Republic is a system based on belief in:
1.the One God (as stated in the phrase “There is no god except Allah”), His exclusive sovereignty and the right to legislate, and the necessity of submission to His commands;
2.Divine revelation and its fundamental role in setting forth the laws;
3.the return to God in the Hereafter, and the constructive role of this belief in the course of man’s ascent towards God;
4.the justice of God in creation and legislation . . . ” (Source: http://www.juancole.com/)
Is this really American? Where a serious Presidential contender, nay, front-runner, proposes amending the Constitution to include a blatantly religious clause?
I’ll finish with a question: How many people would support a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage if it referenced the Koran or another religious text as the basis?
