every time he opens his mouth something stupid comes out

Virgil Goode continues to be a retarded asshat.

This part in particular caught my eye:

“I fear that radical Muslims who want to control the Middle East and ultimately the world would love to see ‘In God We Trust’ stricken from our money and replaced with ‘In Muhammad We Trust.’”

Some of my problems with this should be pretty obvious. There is no such thing as "God" and in spite of the delusions of the masses, there are millions of Americans who don't trust in Abraham's imaginary friend. "In God We Trust" is printed on every bit of currency issued by a nation founded on the principle of the separation of church and state, obvious hypocrisy and a seeming no-brainer for unconstitutionality.

But that's not a problem for Virgil Goode, whose objection to a hypothetical change from God to Muhammad is that then the bills would then have the wrong imaginary friend on them. This guy has no understanding of American values whatsoever, and yet there he is in Congress.

But that isn't even the most disturbing thing to me about his statement. His statement makes it clear that Virgil Goode sees the world as some massive power struggle between feuding religions. He is a defender of The One True Faith and he must battle The Evil Muslims, using the lives of soldiers as pawns in his epic battle. The Iraq war is a modern day crusade: Christians vs Heathens. Every Muslim is therefor the enemy, hence his hateful words about Keith Ellison. He fights against radical fundamentalist theocracy with... radical fundamentalist theocracy.

Virgil Goode is an insane lunatic, and he votes in Congress. YAY America!
