WOW! Virgil Goode (Va.-5th) makes a complete ass of himself with letter


Short article here. Full text of letter below. WOW!
http://www.c-ville.com/index.php?cat=141404064431134&ShowArticle_ID=11041812060944420%0A

Congress of the United States
House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515-4605

December 7, 2006

Mr. John Cruickshank
7—— S—————————&mdash ; Dr.
Earlysville, VA 22936

Dear Mr. Cruickshank:

Thank you for your recent communication. When I raise my hand to take the oath on Swearing In Day, I will have the Bible in my other hand. I do not subscribe to using the Koran in any way.



The Muslim Representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district and if American citizens don’t wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran. We need to stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country. I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America and to prevent our resources from being swamped.

The Ten Commandments and “In God We Trust” are on the wall in my office. A Muslim student came by the office and asked why I did not have anything on my wall about the Koran. My response was clear, “As long as I have the honor of representing the citizens of the 5th District of Virginia in the United States House of Representatives, The Koran is not going to be on the wall of my office.” Thank you again for your email and thoughts.

Sincerely yours,
Virgil H. Goode, Jr.
70 East Court Street
Suite 215
Rocky Mount, Virginia 24151

3. At the end-How would he have anything on his walls if he isn't in the House?
I seriously doubt that anyone came into his office and asked him that I that response is right out of some hokie B-list movie. He really thinks we would believe he responds like that???

Oh this too much.

2. Immigration designed to keep Muslims out??
That's interesting. I guess if ignorant racist catholics wanted to immigrate from Ireland that would be okay. I think if we don't do something about immigration from Ireland our country will be overrun with even more ignorant racists. But thats just fine and dandy with ole virgil.

5. If that Muslim student is a constituent
which I'm presuming he is, it's a thoughtless, ignorant, insult. That any elected official would put those sentiments on paper for the record is extraordinarily unimaginable.

Come on! This is a joke, isn't it? If not...copies should go to out to a few select news editors and expose him.

7. I thought that Ellison was born in America?
And that he is of African-American, not Middle Eastern, descent?

Correct me if I'm wrong; but if I'm right, then Virgil Goode is both racist, and certifiably nuts!

8. You are trying to be rational. Rationality is not going to work with Goode. He is an asswipe.

9. No you are right
For the record-there is no book in the ceremoney they only raise their right hand. Some people do take a Bible to the lecturn with them but the Speaker swears them in from up in the Speaker's chair.

Notice that Goode only says that the Bible will be "in his other hand" but the intent is pretty clear, the dishonest intent.

10. The Dems need to field a good strong candidate
in the 5th District and take this asshole turncoat out. I think it can be done, and can't understand why no one is PAYING ATTENTION to this part of VIRGINIA!! Dammitall!!!

Al Weed ran stronger this time, but he just couldn't pull it off.
