In a video circulated among Republican activists last week, State GOP deputy chair Dave Pascoe said that if the platform resolution barring Muslims from participation in the MNGOP passed, he’d resign.
All due respect to Deputy Chair Pascoe, but I”m not resigning anything. I’m going to fight the know-nothings in the party just as hard as I do the know-nothings outside the party.
American conservatism is built around *rejecting* the ideal of collective guilt. Anyone who says “All Muslims…” do, believe or act on *anything* as a group (even if the argument is based on sound information or even logic, which these days it’s not – it relies on “information” from a series of fever-swamp websites and the sorts of “experts” you run into at last call at bars in areas with no real problems) is no better than the most worthless DFL social justice warrior and their blabbering about identity.
Think about it, if you’re so inclined; we demand (justly) that Muslims assimilate to our society. Then we tell them “But not with us!”
The idea that the soul of the party of Lincoln, Reagan, Buckley and Goldwater would be taken over by people who subscribe to collective guilt is too much to handle.
Anyone bringing this moronic resolution at SD65 is going to get their face singed.
And that, as they say, is all.
UPDATE: And to everyone out there who says “You stand for tolerating Muslims? So, what – you want to live under Islam?” That is, and you are, too stupid to bother answering. Shut up.
I think we can tolerate the Muslims just fine, its the Anabaptists that worry me.
Personally, I welcome anyone who is in the country legally and loves America to be my friend and neighbor, and I welcome anyone who is a citizen and respects the constitution to join in the political process.
The only people I cannot stand are those who drive Ford F150’s. I am a Chevy/GMC guy.
the platform resolution barring Muslims from participation in the MNGOP passed
Did somebody actually put forth such a platform resolution? Is that true?
The resolution has been introduced at several precinct caucuses, and is being debated and voted on at BPOU conventions. It will certainly pop up at some Congressional District convos.
So, satanists will be allowed in MNGOP, but not Muslims?
Let me quote from the State Party Constitution:
“ARTICLE II
Membership and Dues
SECTION 1: Membership.
The membership of the party shall be composed of all citizens of the State of Minnesota who desire to support the objectives of the party.
—————————————————
Someplace along the line, constitutionally-oriented heads will prevail. The resolution on the teaching of Sharia and Muslim practice in public schools, however, perhaps ought to move forward.
“There are only two things I can’t stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people’s cultures….and the Dutch.”

Who introduced it? Why am I asking you may ask? No self-respecting American would do such a thing. False flag? There is a story there, hope somebody digs in deeper.
