Virgil’s Fear

Virginia Congressman Virgil Goode stated in his speech to Congress that any critics of Bush’s War in Iraq “aid and assist the Islamic jihadists who want the crescent and star to wave over the Capitol of the United States and over the White House of this country."

He went on: "I fear that radical Muslims who want to control the Middle East and ultimately the world would love to see ‘In God We Trust’ stricken from our money and replaced with ‘In Muhammad We Trust.’”

For effect, Goode gave his speech using a rare Virginian accent not heard since the days of Jefferson Davis.
