In interview, Oregon lawmaker suggests non-Christians are unfit for elected office

The comments from state Rep. E. Werner Reschke, R-Malin, are raising eyebrows as the legislature prepares to convene.

Reschke is such a huge piece of shit.... oh and he was elected fraudulently in the first place. Doesn't deserve the title of Representative.

They really need to read there constitution regarding separation of religion and state, amuses me that people who clain to be American do not understand things like this.
- Republicans really don't care about The Constitution. I know that may seem like some fiery rhetoric or whatever, but you just need to look at their front runner. He's disqualified from holding office under The Constitution, but they don't care.

"You want somebody who understands what truth is..." lol
- The only real truth to understand is that he is an illegitimately elected representative who stole the party nomination from the people of Klamath County. And then won the general by default because he had the R next to his name on the ballot. https://www.heraldandnews.com/members/forum/editorials/whitsett-maneuver-continues-to-roil-klamath-politics/article_d6d6a54c-6098-5ac6-a538-cf3bc30f5530.html
  The icing on the shit cake for both him and Linthicum just keeps flowing!

I thought this was going to be a passing comment blown way out of proportion, but no. He literally said that and meant it. What the fuck is wrong with this place.
- And then tried to backtrack it. And say he was out of context. No, there's no context Reschke. You're just a piece of shit who said the quiet part out loud.
  The unfortunate part is, he's acting like an accurate representative of the Klamath Basin.
- Some states still have laws on the books that atheists can't hold office. They are not currently enforceable because of a SCOTUS ruling in Torcaso v. Watkins, but Republican nominated members of SCOTUS don't give a shit about precedence or the constitution.

I would say that it's rather obviously exactly the opposite.
The last people who should be trusted with power are people who can't manage to make moral judgments on their own - who can only see right and wrong as arbitrary values decreed and enforced by a magic sky daddy.

I think it's more accurate to say that Christians are unfit for elected office. Maybe not all of them, but it seems like the ones who make it into positions of leadership are the same ones that are complete incapable for separating their religious beliefs from their job as an elected official.
- Most elected officials are religious in some form. I'd say a large portion can seperate themselves and their job from their religion. You just don't hear about it when they do because it's expected. We hear about things like what this fuckwit is doing because it's wrong and evil.

i suggest he wouldn't know Christ from his own asshole, and he's a lying sack of shit.. somebody should check his finances, these guys are always hiding something..

If only you could pass a law respecting the establishment of religion you could banish these heathens...
