by Jaxhawk When John Fitzgerald Kennedy ran for President of the United States the rap against him by those who didn’t want him elected was that if We elected a Roman Catholic to the Presidency. The Pope would have an influence on Our political system. Of course this was nonsense, and just another example of the hate language used in modern day politics by candidates and their operatives, in the run for office. Today we have perfect examples of multiple cases of religious hatred being used against men running for the Presidency. Obama has been noted for his youthful Muslim schooling, Romney is vilified because he is a Mormon, and Huckabee is both promoted and derided because he was once a Baptist Minister.
