In yet another example of how religion is becoming an issue in politics, Catholic pro-lifer Gary Boisclair on Monday announced his decision to challenge Muslim Democrat Keith Ellison in the primaries. Ellison represents Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District.
“I intend to defeat Mr. Ellison soundly in this primary, based upon the issues at hand. Congressman Keith Ellison has failed to represent the ethics and beliefs of this district,” Boisclair argues. “At the onset of his tenure, Ellison took his oath of office with his hand on a Quran—a book which mandates violence against Jews and Christians.”
That’s not Boisclair’s only beef with his opponent. The Tea Party activist says Ellison consistently legislates for socialist programs, which in effect make Americans the slave labor force of the federal government. Under Ellison’s agenda, Boisclair argues, we are enslaved to heavy taxation, crushing debt, runaway inflation—and we are forced to give our hard-earned money to his favorite entitlements.
Then, Boisclair, a former youth minister and schoolteacher, gets down to the issue of life and death, noting that Ellison has voted repeatedly to fund Planned Parenthood.
“Planned Parenthood is a racist, criminal syndicate, which covers up the crimes of pedophiles, rapists and sex traffickers,” Boisclair says. “It slaughters nearly 1,000 unborn babies every day, and Keith Ellison is their brazen champion, as he hypocritically parades his Progressive Caucus motto, ‘Liberty and Justice for ALL.’
