All Hallow's Eve with Augustus Invictus

Augustus Invictus is a 32 year old man who is best known as a radical philosopher and infamous social critic. He is Managing Partner of Imperium, P.A., the law firm he founded in 2013, in Orlando, Florida. He is also running for the vacated seat of Marco Rubio and hopes to be Florida's next Senator. As some of you may remember, Augustus gained the attention of the nation after his opponents began a smear campaign by bringing his Thelemic religion to the forefront, and focusing on a ritual sacrifice involving a goat and the consumption of it's blood. Many were outraged and the opponents of Augustus Invictus didn't miss one opportunity to add insult to injury as they took to Face Book to deepen the wounds by expounding, erroneously, on the stories they had already given the media. Augustus was accused of being many dark things, and through many interviews answering the same questions over and over again, has managed to allay those fears. Last week, once again Alan Grayson brought up the Pagan religion of Augustus Invictus as if that's a bad thing. Augustus is addressing the War on Drugs and the War on Terror among other things, but all his opponents want to do is talk about his religion. Why?
