BOISE – A North Idaho senator is objecting to allowing a Hindu prayer as the opening invocation for the Idaho Senate on Tuesday morning, and says he’ll walk out.
Sen. Steve Vick, R-Dalton Gardens, said, “They have a caste system. They worship cows.” He acknowledged the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution allows any kind of prayer, but said he thinks the Hindu one shouldn’t be allowed to open the Senate, as the United States was “built on the Judeo-Christian not only religion but work ethic, and I don’t want to see that undermined.”

Senator Vick, you too should learn to worship cows just like a large part of the population already does.
After you’ve learned that, get a prayer mat, face Mecca and start pounding your head on the floor and then jump up and shout Allah Akhbar.
Do all that to celebrate our diversity.
Which ones are you talking about — the mild, the moderate or the militant muzzies?
Hindus are our allies in the counter-jihad.
Welcome and thank you brother.
And Dalton Gardens elects idiots to the legislature.
People get so bent out of shape over religion.
All of them who claim to follow Koran.
Islam is the only religion expanded under the threat of a sword. Jesus never used a sword. Buddha was the most peaceful person ever. Hindu’s never sent any swordsmen abroad to expand their religion. History will teach you more than anything else.
Thank you kindly, and very glad to be here, and trying my best to slow down the creeping socialism.
We are a melting pot, but we are fast becoming a tossed salad (to continue the metaphor).
All are welcome here.
But many, including those from India, are balkanizing this country just as the Muslims are doing in the EU.
Idaho is one of the few states that has maintained its sovereignty and the people in that state enjoy some of the greatest freedoms of any of the states. This is all to say that they are one of the few states that have maintained what our Founding Fathers created and handed down to us and have preserved that culture.
Idaho is under attack. She is being Kalifornicated just as Washington state and Oregon have been. Both of those states are on their way to ruin because of the leftists that have taken them over.
The senator in Idaho knows this. He also knows that “diversity” and “multiculturalism” are two of the sharpest swords that the leftists use to first destroy our culture and then replace it with their one-world Socialist state.
The senator from Idaho is simply trying to preserve the culture of Idaho and resist his state from being balkanized.
A large part of our culture of freedom is the Christian notion that we do not inherit the sins of our father. One of the reasons the Pharisees turned on Jesus is because he came to them as the living God who preached that anyone could become God’s “chosen people” by simply choosing Jesus.
You see, Jews who follow traditional Judaism consider themselves a “race,” not merely a religion, which is part of the reason they adhere to arranged marriages and do not marry outside of their bloodline. This is also part of the reason why so many Jews today are paying to have DNA tests to trace their bloodline back to the Levant. They are terrified that they may not be “racial” Jews but only converted Jews (such as the Khazars or Ashkenazis).
And as such, they are very much “racists.” They consider themselves the chosen “race” and they were. But they were only chosen to provide the bloodline that the Messiah would be born to. What Jesus did was earth-shattering. He denounced that very racism and said that anyone in the world (regardless of their bloodline) could become one of God’s chosen. The Pharisees saw the position they had as the chosen race threatening the monopoly they enjoyed on people accessing God (thus Jesus’ anger at the money changers before the temple).
So, as a Christian, I believe that Jesus freed us not only from the sins of our father, but also of all “racial” bondage.
The Hindus still have a caste system. I’ve studied this system and I know that the Brahmins set this system up to ensure that they would always be the ruling caste/class. They have always run the priesthood and academe and government and they are still heavily involved in running these aspects of their culture. This is in large part why the Hindus, especially the Brahmins who have long enjoyed a monopoly as the top of the “chosen” castes still use arranged marriage (must keep that bloodline pure and must ensure sound business partnerships to reinforce and strengthen their position as the ruling elite).
As a Christian, I find it offensive that a Hindu priest who believes that none of us (and not even those of other castes within his religion) are as special to his gods and can never be because we were not born into his caste would stand before a body of free Americans and pray to that god from whom he claims to receive his privileges. I find this form of “racism” sickening and diametrically opposed to the spirit and culture of freedom that our Founding Fathers created and preserved for us and that Jesus preached against.
I find it no more offensive than if an Islamofascist had stood up there and made a prayer to the same “god” that he uses to justify his slaughtering the lives of “infidels,” which is the same as slaughtering innocent lives.
America has been and still overwhelmingly is a Christian nation. We have been generous in allowing such relatively easy access to citizenship and becoming American. But if we want to remain the freest and most prosperous county in history, we need to preserve our traditional culture, which includes first shoring up that culture that has been decimated by anti-Americans for the past century.
No one is asking the Hindus to shut up. But we Americans need to wake up and see that we have already been largely balkanized by multiculturalism and diversity and that they are being used against us to weaken a good, just, free, and prosperous culture. We must also critically analyze other cultures and religions and not be afraid to speak out about their weaknesses and injustices for fear of being called “racist,” which I hope you see after this long-winded explanation, is the epitome of the pot calling the kettle black.
No one is asking the Hindus to shut up. But please don’t ask a representative of the people in his state who is trying to protect his state to shut up when he is trying to prevent his state from being balkanized and Kalifornicated.
Couldn’t agree more.
But the Indians do have a vested interest in establishing themselves as part of the ruling elite. Read my other post for a more detailed analysis.
Most of them have come here not to strengthen Americans and to become Americans, but to take advantage of America and Americans to further their own wealth and position.
Converts to Judaism and descendents of converts are 100% Jewish, especially to religious Jews. Secular Jews frequently see being Jewish as merely 'racial'. Ashkenazi and Sefardi Jews share more DNA than each shares with outside groups.
Read a bit of history on your own and don’t believe the leftist claptrap that fills the books and the “narrative” these days.
The Founding Fathers were devout CHRISTIANS. Even those who called themselves “Deists” (which was nothing more than the PC term of the day that they used to bridge the gap between Catholic and Protestant, which was the basis of religious hostilities back then) were devout adherents of specific church denominations. Thomas Jefferson was a “Deist” who went to a baptist church without fail.
Guess again. To the traditional Jews they are not.
That is why, in traditional Judaism, a child is only Jewish if the mother is of the Jewish bloodline. Just having a Jewish father is not enough.
The bloodline is everything to traditional Jews.
Enhancing FR’s reputation.
