Trouble is, I can't do anything about Conyers. The Repubolic system keeps us isolated and fragmented. The only thing we get to vote together on is the President.
Bingo!
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives condemning bigotry and religious intolerance, and recognizing that holy books of every religion should be treated with dignity and respect.
Whereas believers of all religions, including the Abrahamic faiths of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, should be treated with respect and dignity;
Whereas the word Islam comes from the Arabic root word meaning peace and submission;
Whereas there are an estimated 7,000,000 Muslims in America, from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, forming an integral part of the social fabric of America;
Whereas the Quran is the holy book for Muslims who recite passages from it in prayer and learn valuable lessons about peace, humanity and spirituality; Whereas it should never be official policy of the United States Government to disparage the Quran, Islam, or any religion in any way, shape, or form;
Whereas mistreatment of prisoners and disrespect toward the holy book of any religion is unacceptable and against civilized humanity;
Whereas the infringement of an individuals right to freedom of religion violates the Constitution and laws of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives
(1) condemns bigotry, acts of violence, and intolerance against any religious group, including our friends, neighbors, and citizens of the Islamic faith;
(2) declares that the civil rights and civil liberties of all individuals, including those of the Islamic faith, should be protected;
(3) recognizes that the Quran, the holy book of Islam, as any other holy book of any religion, should be treated with dignity and respect; and
(4) calls upon local, State, and Federal authorities to work to prevent bias-motivated crimes and acts against all individuals, including those of the Islamic faith.
Looniness personified.
The Atlanta Olympics 1998? (Though an innocent American was arrested, eventually, all arrows pointed towards, you guessed it, Muslims)
Wasn't it Eric Rudolph who did that?
Just curious, when was the last time you heard any of these hacks say, even not meaning it, that politics stop at the waters edge. They don't even pretend to be pro america any more. When oh when are we going to be able to strike back against these leninists right in our midst that seek the destruction of all we hold dear?
Sister Lucia dos Santos Maria of the Immaculate Heart (Fatima) spoke of a diabolical disorientation. Do you think she may have included stupid politicians in her critique of the modern world?
Terrorism against all non-Muslims is, according to Mohammad (the illiterate, epileptic, sadistic, pedophile), required of all Muslims by Allah. It began in the seventh century and will continue until Islam is erased from the face of the earth. Conyers can tolerate these barbarians if he wants to, but I prefer to recgnize it for what it is ... a failed cult of death.
In 1960, there were only 700,000 Muslims here. How is it possible for the rest of us to distinguish which of the now 7 million are "peaceful," or secretly "armed and dangerous," listening to their radical, anti-American, hate mongering "imams" in mosques on American soil, ranting and raving about the true "jihad" and the true aim of Islam-in-America?........i.e. to conquer this nation and include it in the "new Caliphate?"
Someone tell me how I'm supposed to tell the difference between those practicing "a religion of peace," and those who are sleeper cells.

Part of the problem is that when politicians get elected to national office they go off to Washington City and lose contact with the people that sent them there. They are no longer a part of the communities, they listen to each other, liberal professors, think tanks (who themselves are out of touch) and discuss national politics with foriegn politicians over cocktails. You can write to them, send them emails and call them to no avail, they think they know more than the common herd.
I say drop that idiot Conyers off in the worst section of Baghdad and let his sense of compassion save his sorry ass.
We're fixin' to lose our first amendment.
Sadly, I believe all that you say, and you've said it very well indeed. The Congress is just a big social club. That's the explanation for the judicial nominee filibuster "compromise." It was to preserve "collegiality," but they pretended (falsely) that it was to "preserve tradition.!!"

Check to see if they are breathing! (sarc.)
Not just the infidels, but also the muslime infidels. They kill each other as often as they kill non-insaneslams. One day a mad mullah with several nukes will issue a fatwa against the world.
ONly one way to stop it is to eradicate eyeslime forever. Buh bye mecca kabah and death kult.
Thanks for the ping!
