The Senate's two Republicans argued that a minority of Islamic extremists have killed many innocents in terrorist attacks. "I recall radical Islamists around the world cheering the horrors of 9/11.

The personal bank deposits of each and every one of the bastards who voted for this shold be open to public scrutiny.
My guess is the Saudi Oil Sheiks are paying these prostitutes for their votes on this subject.
The tentacles of petrodollars are long and enveloping and I suspect have had a major influence on American domestic and foreign policy decisions.
“The personal bank deposits of each and every one of the bastards who voted for this shold be open to public scrutiny.”
If the opposition was smart, they would have at least tried to include this as part of the bill.
What about “Buddhist Day,”, “Jewish Day,” “Zoroastrianism Day,” “Shinto Day,” “Christianity Day,” “Hindu Day,” “Wiccan Day” and even “Atheist Day?”
Will it be celebrated on the day Barack Obama was born in Kenya?
Scientific?? Cultural?? WTF??
Maybe in a 3rd world, 7th century kind of way.
Note to self: Mark Hawaii off list of places to see before I die.
Note to self: Cross Hawaii off potential vacation list.
Sept. 24th? 13 days later.
btw....The GOP Senator who argued against it, Fred Hemmings, is the same Fred Hemmings who used to win all those surfing contests on Wide World of Sports in the sixties.
“If the opposition was smart, they would have at least tried to include this as part of the bill.”
They’re not smart - they are elected Republican Officials.
Lately stupidity seems to be their hallmark, witness the support for Arlen Spector in the PA primary, and now their efforts to resurrect that piece of worthless Bush II Baggage, Tom “The Meathead” Ridge to run against Toomey, a good Republican conservative, in the PA primary.
HI was brought into the union FAR too quickly.
Is this in honor of their adopted islamic son who usurpted the presidency?
Hey, wha'd'ya know, someone *does* understand consistency.
Did anyone else notice the "citizens of the world" comment?
Will it be scheduled for September 11th every year?
It should be. That way, people are sure to remember the date.
Do you mean to tell me there are actually two Republicans in the Hawaii State Senate???
So much for that pesky separation of church & state law
I find it ironic that these same morons argue for the “Separation of Church and State” I guess that doesn’t include Mosques.
Well, we do have a one world order. Oboma is just cleaning up the last few details.
Don't look now, but while you were kept busy with the economy, homo pseudo marriages, and the flu..........
