Okay, so where exactly are we going with this, guys?

Just a quick note on the political front today.
Yesterday GOP Presidential candidate Marco Rubio made headlines for saying that religious belief supercedes federal laws.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) says religious believers are called to “ignore” laws that violate their faith.
“In essence, if we are ever ordered by a government authority to personally violate and sin — violate God’s law and sin — if we’re ordered to stop preaching the Gospel, if we’re ordered to perform a same-sex marriage as someone presiding over it, we are called to ignore that,” Rubio said in an interview with CBN on Tuesday.
“So when those two come into conflict, God’s rules always win,” he added.
Meanwhile, earlier in the week GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump made headlines for saying that we should create a database to track Muslims.
Donald Trump on Thursday called for the creation of a national database to register all Muslims living in the U.S. to protect the country against terrorism.

“I would certainly implement that. Absolutely,” Trump told NBC News during a campaign stop in Newton, Iowa.
He continued: “There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems.”
Trump, who also said this week that he would consider shutting down mosques, told Yahoo News earlier Thursday that “we’re going to have to look at a lot of things very closely” when asked about a national database for Muslims.
Which begs the following question: where exactly are we going with this, guys?

Take a step back, take a larger view of history, and you’ll see that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are basically all close cousins of each other. When Arab Christians refer to the Christian God, they call Him “Allah.” Besides being a horrendously tyrannical idea, the idea of “registering Muslims” is ridiculously impractical. How does the Don propose to define “Muslim” and test to see if someone is one or not? Ask people to swear they aren’t? There is no way that the U.S. could register or restrict all Muslim Americans without hurting Christian and Jewish Americans at the same time.… Read more »
I think your question answers itself, Mark. When the two front runners are on the extremes of the religious spectrum, it’s clear to me that the Republican Party has not only lost its way, but has lost its soul. In the ultimate of ironies, it has become the quintessence of the term RINO.
