Crush Liberalism

House resolutions are, in my view, a waste of time.  They’re nothing more than non-binding statements of opinion, and votes on resolutions can better be spent attending to the business of America.

Having said that, this is repulsive:

From the office of GOP Rep. Steve King:

Congressman Steve King reacted this morning to the nine “NO” votes on his resolution to honor Christmas and the Christian faith. The vote shocked Capitol Hill observers because votes on similar resolutions honoring the holidays of Islam and Hinduism passed without any NO votes.

Appearing this morning on the Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends, King said, “The [nine] naysayers didn’t make it to the floor to debate. I would like to know how they could vote Yes on Islam, Yes on the Indian Religions and No on Christianity when the foundation of this nation and our American culture is Christianity…I think there’s an assault on Christianity in America.”

The nine Members voting NO were Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY), Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) (FL), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA), Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA), and Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA). None of the nine voted against resolutions honoring the Islamic holiday of Ramadan and the Hindu holiday of Diwali.

Nine Democrats voted No – Ackerman, Clarke, DeGette, Hastings (FL), Lee, McDermott, Scott (VA), Stark and Woolsey.

Nine Democrats voted Present – Conyers, Frank (MA), Holt, Payne, Schakowsky, Schwartz, Wasserman Schultz, Welch (VT) and Yarmuth

This is interesting because of this group 17 of the 18 Ds above voted FOR a resolution honoring Ramadan (Lee missed the vote). Note that the King resolution was based on the language in the Ramadan resolution. You can compare them if you want, but King’s is more benign. Ramadan – H.Res. 635 and Christmas – H. Res. 847

H. Res. 847: recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith

FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 1143

Well, well, well…all Democrats!  Whoever would have guessed such a thing?  Basically, these moonbat legislators are saying that “Ramadan is good, Diwali is good, but Christmas?  Not so much.”

Here’s guessing that they think honoring Christmas is somehow violating that “separation of church and state” thingy they swear exists in the Constitution, but honoring other religions does not violate that “separation of church and state” thingy they swear exists in the Constitution. It’s as if publicly honoring minority religions don’t violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, but inexplicably, honoring Christmas does.

These people are politically correct jackasses, serving as a collective boil on the #ss of society.
