"Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how brilliant his capacity. No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community..." - Teddy Roosevelt
"Without Integrity, nothing counts; With Integrity, nothing matters." - Winston Churchill

Praise allah: One Out of Two Herman Cains Would Appoint Muslims to His Cabinet, Judgeships
Herman Cain wants to correct the record: He would consider a Muslim for his cabinet or as a federal judge if he’s elected president.Cain’s clarification comes two months after he initially said he wouldn’t have any Muslim appointees, stoking controversy and criticism from a leading Muslim advocacy group.“That statement is not what I said. It has been misconstrued,” Cain told Glenn Beck on his radio show Tuesday.
Uh, no. That’s exactly what he said . . . before he flip-flopped. The only thing misconstrued here is Cain’s honesty and integrity. He just doesn’t have any.
Go back to deciding which toppings you put on pizza, Mr. Cain. This ain’t for you. We don't exactly have a shortage of candidates who ignore principles or have none at all. We need those who have them, and possess the integrity (principled vs. popular) to stand on them. Anyone can make a popular stance and tell you what they think you want to hear; its the very definition of a typical U.S. Politician. You can see where that got us! Aren't we trying to change that? If so, then why support more of the same?! We cannot afford to get this one wrong, people!

1. The Pre-Flip-Flop stance
(He didn't just say he would not "feel comfortable," he said he "will not." That refers to future action of what he "will not" do, not how comfortable he feels.)
2. CAIR applies pressure:
...The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) expressed outrage on Monday, saying Cain's words show how "right wing" conservatives are currently engaging in Muslim bashing."Even post 9/11 you didn't have this level of mainstreaming of anti-Muslim hate as you have now," said Ibrahim Hooper, National Communications Director for CAIR...
3. The Flip-Flop:
(It's called Unprincipled Political Correctness, just what we DON'T need!)
So, just one question, then, Mr. Cain:
What if a Muslim lies and convinces you that they will support the Constitution over the Quran or Sharia Law, then would Cain appoint him to his administration or, even worse, a lifetime appointment as a Federal Judge?!I'm sorry, I'm not taking that bet! There is actually a Muslim practice of deceiving the Infidel in order to gain the upper hand in Jihad. It is known as Taqiyya, so how could you ever trust a Muslim or what they say as the truth? Most normal people call it lying, and we see it every day.
(as stated in the Quran)
Surah 2:225 A Muslim does not have to maintain his oath(faith) as long as what's in his heart is true.
Surah 40:28 A man is introduced as a believer, but one who must "hide his faith" among those who are not believers.
Surah 3:28 Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah.
Surah 16:106 Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.
(as stated in the Hadiths)
Bukhari 52:269 "The Prophet said, 'War is deceit.'" The context of this is thought to be the murder of Usayr ibn Zarim and his thirty unarmed men by Muhammad's men after he "guaranteed" them safe passage.
Bukhari 49:857 "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar." Lying is permitted when the end justifies the means.
