Valin Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Power Line: Scott Johnson 5/7/13 Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Keith Ellison is the first Muslim elected to Congress and one of its leftwardmost members. I wrote a backgrounder on him for the Weekly Standard just before he was elected to Congress and posted “Keith Ellison for dummies” on Power Line as a companion to the Weekly Standard article. Ellison is a key to understanding the Age of Obama, a thesis I explored in “From Keith Ellison to Barack Obama.” Ellison is a little bit hustler, a little bit thug, and a lot of Marxist claptrap wrapped with an Islamic overlay. Which branch of Islam is it that squares with equal rights for women, gay marriage, abortion on demand and the rest of the Democratic platform? Perhaps some day an enterprising journalist will inquire politely of Rep. Ellison and get the scoop. In the meantime, consider this recent letter from Ellison to a constituent, forwarded by a friend: (Snip) You have to love Ellison’s explication of the Pledge of Allegiance and the significance he attributes to it as something like organic law. Where did that come from? And I bet you didn’t even know there was such a thing as a Congressional Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Caucus. It may not seem like it on the surface, but there is actually much we can learn from Rep. Ellison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
