Calgary , Alberta, in western Canada, has recently elected a Mayor, who is not only a Muslim, but who was born outside of Canada. Can you imagine that happening anywhere in the US?
Stephen Fletcher represents a Winnipeg, Manitoba, district, in Canada's national Parliament, and was first elected in 2004. He is a C4 C3 spinal cord injury victim, and can only move his head, which he uses to control his electric wheel chair. He is a member of the Cabinet, in the Stephen Harper Government, in Ottawa.
Could such a handicapped person ever be elected to the Congress in the USA ?. I don't think so.
My point in all of this......... American has not yet evolved to the point where such things are possible.
Did I mention our past Female Prime Minister ?

I think you need to study a little more and do some research. We had a handicapped Pres who was in a Wheelchair: we have Muslims in congress, we have a lot of elected officials, locally as well as nationally that were not born in the USA. WE came close to having a female Pres and she did not lose the nomination because she was a woman, she lost to a very shrude campaigner. I could go on and on.
I want to point a couple things out to you:1-we all have our reasons for believing what we do, you choose to believe in no God, becasue you say there is proof in evolution? Has it occurred to you, many of us believe in both? As for evangelicals thinking the world is coming to an end soon? Sorry, they do not, the ones who predict this are nut cases, not evangelicals. I do agree, religion or lack of same has nothing to do with running for public office. And you know very little if you honestly think the 2012 election had anything to do with anyone's crazy ideas. If this is the case, please explain how we now have 30 Republican governors, and the house still belongs to the Republicans. Almost always the party that takes the Whitehouse takes the congress and the governorships. Midterm elections usually are the opposite. Of course you wouldn't know anything about our politics, you are not even living in our cuontry. I love it, when people in other countries think they know more about us than we do....
Oh boo frigging hoo. I don't need to stay in the USA to know how batshiot crazy evangelicals are. We had them here too pre independence and they too predicted the ende ov teh wurlde. The USA is just about 17 years behind us as far as civil rights go, you know, gays can marry, abortions elective to 20 weeks gestation, no hate speech etc. Evangelicals are a scourge on society as their beliefs are not even based on anything reasonable.
Don't want criticism from the rest of the world, stop broadcasting yourselves - that is all..
