But he is just one man ...

I found this on the Huffington Post. Glenn Beck is asking the first Muslim congressman elected why he should be trusted: that he prove he isn't "working for the enemy". I have to ask the obvious damn question: Since Rep. Ellison was elected by the people in his district, shouldn't we simply trust that they knew what the hell they were doing when they elected him? Would he be asking this if Ellison was a Republican?

Glenn Beck is way, way out of line, because this man is an American, and he was duly elected to public office. I don't care what politucal party, religion, color, or sexual orientation he is--those things are up to his constituents to decide upon. And since they are OK with the particulars, let me suggest we should be, as well.

Besides, he is just one man in Congress.
