What do you think the qualifications for political office are? You might think some level of higher education should be a qualification. Or, you might think that knowledge of how our government works should be a qualification, at the very least. Well, Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission has come up with what he calls are the religious qualifications to hold political office in the USA. You must be a “good” Christian man.
From Right Wing Watch:
Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission released a new video today aimed at helping his fellow right-wing Christians understand "the biblical qualifications for political office," by which he meant that all of our elected leaders must be Christians ... and men.
"What should be look for in our elected officials?" Cass asked, rhetorically. "The first qualification is they must be a Christian ... What a candidate professes about God is absolutely critical, it will profoundly shape his leadership. Genuine reverence for the Lord is the foundation of knowledge ... so we need a leader who is alive spiritually and who will lead in the fear of God."
And those leaders, Cass explained, must be men.

Got that? Not only must the person be a “good” Christian (whatever that is), but the person must also be a man. Sorry Hillary. And, just in case you were wondering, you also do not qualify for political office if you are gay. Here he is discussing the recent marriage equality ruling.
