After due consideration

The longer I have had to consider Mitt Romney's speech on his "faith" (which carefully avoided discussing what his "faith" actually entails) the angrier I become. Mr. Romney was careful to state that no religious test should exist for high office but at the same time creating a religious test for citizenship. This is outrageous and must be condemned with the same ferocity that a statement which said that "freedom bars religion and religion bars freedom" would (justifiably) be condemned. Yet for some reason it it not and his campaign refuses to even state that there is a place for non believers in America. It would seem that Mr. Romney would wish to establish a tyranny of the "faithful" over the thoughtful.

That Mr. Romney could make such a bigoted statement without facing complete and total condemnation simply reinforces my decision to live in exile!
