Well, talk about a deer caught in the headlights! The candidate running for U.S. Congress on the Democratic ticket had absolutely no clue. With a puzzled look he asked, “What do you mean?” So I asked him, point-blank, “Do you know what it is?” Still, no response. I finally said, “It is ‘In God We Trust.’” “Oh yes,” he said, “I didn’t understand the context of your question.”
Yeah, right? Then he said he believes in God but wouldn’t impose his religion on others. In other words, our national motto means absolutely nothing when it comes to his governing philosophy.
If this is the caliber of candidates we have running for national office we are in serious trouble. A candidate should at least understand the basics of our republican form of government and some simple details like our national motto. If they don’t know those basics, don’t even call yourself an American, no less run for office.
