Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D.-Texas) took to the House floor on Dec. 12 to explain why, especially in the Christmas season, a shutdown of the federal government should be avoided.

“This is a season where many in our Nation draw together with families and worship and celebrate,” Jackson Lee said.

“It is a very honored time,” she said. “People of the Christian faith are engaged in the recognition and acknowledgment of the birth of baby Jesus. It is a holy time. It is a time when families need resources. Government workers need to ensure that their families are provided for, but also we must ensure that our government is provided for. I thank the Speaker-elect and the Democratic leader in the Senate, the other body, for recognizing that we do not want a shutdown.” …

Yes sheila, for this very reason Christ was born.

/gigantic sarc

If sheila had her way government agents would have taken 2/3 of the gold, frankencense and myrrh given to Jesus’ parents.

Well sheila is a woman. Our current system is paid for by the taxes of men and government takes those taxes and transfers them to women via social programs only for them, and welfare and women only programs and grants.

And sheila herself lives off government taxes.

So sheila lives and believes in government as provider.

Since the US government and the Democrat Party is perpetually on the naughty list, here's a train full of coal for it.

Harambe's dream date worships big government...........

Running around with a cow flop on her haid messes with what little thinking she might be able to do.

Seriously? At the wages being paid to govt workers? The wages they will get, probably by the next paycycle, padded with a follow-up bonus month of overtime to ‘make up’ when the shutdown is over? cry me a freaking river

Trying to guilt the average joe who no govt worker ever cried over, isn’t a working strategy any more.

Do your jobs, Congress, and protect America first

These are exactly the words her constituents want to hear. She will be a Rep for Houston as long as she wants. No one else could come close.

The LORD works in mysterious ways. This is the third member of the anti-Christ Left to extol the virtue of Jesus’s life in a week. First, Luis Gutierrez, then Alexandra Ocasio-something-something and now Sheila Jackson Lee.

What would Sheila Jackson-Lee know about “holy”? On December 13, 2012, she revealed herself as an anti-Catholic bigot by filing a pleading at the FCC seeking to stop the sale of an AM radio station in her district in Houston which intended to change the station’s format to 24 hour per day Catholic programming.

As a Democratic she wants to control everything EXCEPT the border...

I’m surprised Liberals haven’t outlawed private Santa Claus’ yet. Only Government should be the gift givers...

Try feeding the homeless without government involvement.

Well, her voters are the stupid ones. So they elected someone to whom they can relate.
