Mitt Romney’s Line in the Sand
Well, it’s nice to know those of us who don’t subscribe to Christianity are welcome in America. Here’s Mitt Romney, Republican candidate for President, on freedom:
“Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.”
The pundits have spent the morning praising Romney’s speech on faith, comparing him to Kennedy’s famous “you can trust me, even though I’m Catholic” speech that made him the country’s first and only Catholic president.
It’s already clear that those who don’t subscribe to religious beliefs can’t run for high office. Now it appears that there’s no place for us in the American system at all. And with Hillary and Obama embracing a more religious tone in the campaign, one wonders if even the Democrats would publically include us.
Just one of many reasons why I’m finding it hard to feel engaged by the Presidential contest.
