...Hank Johnson...

Hank Johnson,boys and girls,was the House rocket scientist who once told an Admiral during a Congressional hearing that he was afraid that Guam would tip over if we stationed too many of our sailors/Marines there.

Good Idea. Why don’t we just line each of these “Representatives” (of Islam) up in front of a mosque...and let a masked conservative give them a few lashings Koran style??!!!

May their constituents have the where with all to go to the polls and vote them into obscurity!!

“Then they need to add Catholicism and all other religions to their bill.”

Don’t give them ideas. < /sarcasm >

“Free speech” as a doctrine and as an active living principle is almost dead in this territory once known as “the United States of America”. “Favored speech”, the non-offensive application of Political Correctness, is quickly becoming the paradigm, and a surprising number of supposedly learned and “educated” people have no trouble supporting this de facto surrender of what is an inalienable right, to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”, specifically delineated in the Bill of Rights, to include freedom of speech.

I’m sure it will pass easily based on the omnibus bill.

“Gee, protecting one “religion” while ignoring all other actual religions seems highly unconstitutional.”

Ryan and McConnell can put this one to bed by announcing they will not support an unconstitutional law that on its face results in the federal government providing special protection for one religion at the exclusion of others. This is a clear violation of the establishment clause.

Unfortunately Ryan and McConnell are tone deaf to the Constitution and the religious beliefs of the vast majority of GOP voters. Likely they will rush to expedite passage of this bill.

Yes, this article is very misleading. It's a *resolution*, people, expressing an *opinion*. It doesn't "criminalize" anything; there is no penalty clause, it doesn't become a law even if it passes.

It's a fine thing to be vigilant over the crazy people in Washington, but let's "cry wolf" over things that aren't a real threat ... yet.

Bigotry? To have a stubborn and intolerant opinion of someone because of race, creed, religion, etc.

What’s wrong with this? They are going to try and tell people that they’re not allowed to feel or think something?

I have read some of the quran. I hate it. I would not tolerate it. The Japanese don’t tolerate it. Are these people going to move and ban the hateful quran?

“, it doesn’t become a law even if it passes.”

But we know liberals will eventually make it law. They always signal their intentions with “resolutions”.

If Thomas Jefferson knew what his party is up to these days, he’d be furious and would be going over to the Tea Party.

Before they pass that...Islam is a a pathetic excuse for a religion...mainly relying on murder of others.

The only thing I am surprised about is why we have not seen the Enabling Act of 2016 brought forward yet. I have no doubt Ryan and Turtle would be thrilled to get behind this classic Rat legislation.

Those that made the statements are not fit to breathe American air.

One wonders if they are fit to continue living for the desecration of their oath
