Leaders in the House of Representatives announced on Friday a rules package for the 117th Congress that includes a proposal to use (“gender-inclusive language”) and eliminate gendered terms such as “‘father, mother, son, daughter,” and more.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-Mass.) ( announced) on Friday that the rules package includes changes that would “honor all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender neutral.”

I suggest that all in favor of Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern's (D-Mass.) utterly preposterous house rules be sacked as soon as possible...what utter nonsense! Pelosi has overstayed her welcome......

This is just one more step in the plan to dehumanize us. They began by purposefully destroying to nuclear family and now they are going to warp and deform the language to remove all vestiges of the relationships that make us human and protect us from totalitarian control where the state is all.

It is not out of concern for the feelings of the mentally disturbed and sexually depraved that they will tear down normal humanity but that is their pathetic excuse.

Just a minor indication of the permanent darkness to come after January 20th...

All the hand-wringing and whining is not going to change a darn thing...

This is important stuff.

You have unemployed, 1/3 of all small businesses went broke because of covid and the idiotic actions of our government, you have Islamic threat practically taking over 1/3 of Africa now (the new front),China is crawling on our back.

And our elected officials debate what pronouns should be used, because they are now also regulators of the English language. LOL

By ‘honoring’ everything but father, mother, sister or brother, Pelosi denigrate them.

In keeping with these rule changes, I believe that the House should also change all given names that have a masculine or feminine gender, in favor of neuter names.

For example, Nancy Pelosi should change her first name to “Steaming, Stinking Dungheap.”

It is also an attempt to destroy any notion of a standard or “norm”. It’s similar to the effort to make people select English instead of English as a default on various electronic and phone menus. No one is normal anymore.

Freepers are behind the times. Words such as "father" and "daughter" are clearly xenophobic, racist, or homophobic (but I'm not sure which).

And I'm sorry but I totally agree with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) whose pronouns are Marxist/Communist.

The term "congressman" must be "canceled" and replaced by the phrase "member of congress." But even that is extremely racist. So if one is referring to, say, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, they must be referred to as a "member of congress of color."

Therefore, blindly repeat after me: "They are a member of congress of color." If you think that sentence is extremely confusing because it actually refers to a group of people (even though it is meant to refer to only Ms. Pressley) and "congress of color" makes literally no sense, well, then effh you. The Democrat Party Cabal is now in charge.

A silly distraction.

Importantly the new rules raise the bar for a Motion To Recommit from a majority to 2/3rds.
Making it much, much harder for the Minority to affect legislation.
And.
The new rules exempt ‘climate change’ legislation from being priced.
That is: the cost of ‘climate change’ legislation to the government and the economy is never addressed- as it is for other legislation- it’s all officially “free” LOL!

As a taxpayer they work for me. I’m offended that the people supposedly working for me are wasting their time and my money on this kind of utterly useless BS.

How about removing the term “congressman/woman” and replacing it with “dirtbag”?

Every Republican Congressman or Congresswoman should use the words Mother, Father, son, daughter, grandfather, grandmother, Founding Fathers, and Our Father in Heaven as often as possible in every speech they give. When the Chair(man) rules them out of order, they should just say F&ck Y%u and continue speaking.
