Christmas NO, Ramadan SI

Representatives Who Said “Bah, Humbug” to Christmas Favored Ramadan Resolution

Democrat Cocksuckers

Let me reiterate my position on religion.  Do, or don't - it's up to you.  However, it ought to be recognized that the religious left, who launched the frontal assault against Christianity in America, are silent when other faiths are publicly proselytized *cough Islam cough*, and often foster them *cough Islam cough*  with taxpayer money. BTW, I coincidentally just received this interesting deal from Rahouy.  One more thing, if it's not In God We Trust, it will be Gummint.  That thought alone ought send patriotic atheists and agnostics to the baptismal font.  Say Amen.  “ December 12, 2007 U.S. House Passes Resolution Supporting Christmas and Christianity Washington, DC – Yesterday, the U.S. House passed a resolution recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith by a vote of 372 to 9. Nine members voted against the resolution, ten refused to support it by voting “present,” and 40 others members did not vote. All but two of the representatives voting “present” or against the Christmas Resolution voted in favor of a resolution (H.R. 635 ) recognizing Ramadan, which passed by a 376-0 vote in October. The Ramadan Resolution stated that the House “recognizes the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world…expresses friendship and support for Muslims…acknowledges the onset of Ramadan…and conveys its respect to Muslims…rejects hatred, bigotry, and violence directed against Muslims…commends Muslims…who have privately and publicly rejected interpretations and movements of Islam that justify and encourage hatred, violence, and terror”. The Christmas Resolution uses similar language, stating that the House recognizes “the Christian faith as one of the great religions of the world…expresses continued support for Christians…acknowledges the international religious and historical importance of Christmas and the Christian faith…acknowledges and supports the role played by Christians and Christianity in the founding of the United States and in the formation of the western civilization…rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians…and expresses its deepest respect to American Christians and Christians throughout the world”. The nine members who voted against the Christmas Resolution (H.R. 847) were all Democrats: Ackerman (NY), Clarke (NY), DeGette (CO), Hastings (FL), Lee (CA), McDermott (WA), Scott (VA), Stark (CA) and Woolsey (CA). The 10 who answered “present” without entering a vote were also Democrats except one: Conyers (MI), Frank (MA), Holt (NJ), Payne (NJ), Pence (Republican from IN), Schakowsky (PA), Schwartz (PA), Wasserman-Schultz (FL), Welch (VT) and Yarmuth (KY). Those who voted "present" on H.R. 847 and "yes" on Yay Islam H.R. 635 include: Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Barney Frank (D-Mass.), Rush Holt (D-N.J.), Donald Payne (D-N.J.), Janice Schakowsky (D-Ill.), Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fl.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.) and John Yarmuth (D-Ky.). Mathew D. Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, commented: "I am pleased to see that the vast majority of the United States House of Representatives supports Christmas and recognizes the fundamental role of Christianity in America. Our Founders believed that Christianity was the best foundation for a republican form of government and freedom. It is disturbing that a small number of representatives support Ramadan and Islam but not Christmas and Christianity." ”
