Tl;dr: Black Republican (lolwut?) sided with communities that were trying to ban the construction of Mosques. His excuse: "they might be terrorists." Apparently the part of the Constitution that states "Freedom of Religion" doesn't mean anything.

Some of the comments are astounding with their ignorance. One person actually tried to claim the preamble of the Constitution stated that the United States was formed for Christianity alone, to which a person with sense posted the actual preamble and told that user to learn to read.

God this guy is so bias and stupid.

So one Republican presidential candidate wants to ban porn and take away rights from the LGBT community, and another wants to ban Islam by trampling the First Amendment and resorting to incredibly stupid stereotypes.

Obama didn't even had to take care of bin Laden to guarantee his reelection, the opposition is already doing a fine job by themselves!

Michele Bachmann. She made the pledge some crazy wackos made to ban porn and downgrade the LGBT because "they're threats to public health".

Another Republican candidate. Female. Not Sarah Palin

For her, porn is bad, gay is good.

Or something like that

See the pledge for yourself.

Or, if you feel lazy, I'll quote the most pertinent part:

So she's against porn AND gays.

I'm sure those beliefs often come as a package deal, since most with religious reasons against one will also have religious reasons against the other.

I agree, let's ban Islam. And while we're at it, take out Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Chinese Traditional Religion, Paganism (ancient and neo forms like the rebirth of Wicca), Sikhism, Juche, Spiritism, Baha'i, Jainism, Shinto, Cao Dai, Zoroastrianism, Tenrikyo, Unitarian-Universalism, Rastafarianism and Scientology.

Remove all the structure from these things and we might be able to find some common ground as a race of humans rather than endless derivations and sects.

Also, all you need know about Michelle Bachmann.

Just a question, referring to her Marriage Vow. When did scientists ever say that sexual promiscuity optimizes individual or public health?

Hei, she predict the world will end in 2006 so logic don't apply to her

No, I just want to find out if sexual promiscuity is actually healthy because that doesn't make any sense. Maybe what she means is that having sex is healthy for you, irregardless of whether it is in marriage or not. I know that is true, but I would think that sexual promiscuity brings along other problems with it, both mental and physical, that really aren't beneficial.

I couldn't be certain on what research as been done, but promiscuity could be seen as advantageous and a detriment depending on what level you decide to take.

I think it is generally accepted that sex itself is healthy. Promotes release of endorphins, hormones and other chemicals that have positive effects all over the body, including neurological and cardiovascular improvements. Promiscuity is a general breeding strategy which would promote the active participant's (usually male) genetic advancement by trying to fertilize as many times as possible (in terms of females, it would be to A) get the best genes/sperm competing and B) spread confusion to fatherhood to try and maintains as much support as they can, thus increasing chances of offspring survival). This would be healthy because you would expect the best fit set of genes to reproduce and survive most, strengthening the population. In terms of STDs, the spread of these, while initially negative impact on health, would eventually lead to those immune or untroubled by them to be the primary breeders, creating a population that was not set back by an STD - more or less, weeding out the unfit. That also would improve the general health of the population.

Of course, that's purely taking reproduction as a given, which it is not in our society. On an individual level, one takes major health risks with promiscuity because we have very low "success" rate with sex (in terms of impregnation) in that while you may be fit, you spend a lot of time "wasting" your reproductive years and experience increased risks of STDs or other diseases, when promiscuous, which then would decrease your reproductive health. In these terms, being celibate or at least monogamous with a partner you know is healthy until you're ready for children is probably more advantageous.

You monster!

I'm not even surprised by Cain's bullshittery or Bachmann's. In fact, I can't take the Republican party seriously. Woohoo!
