Sen. Ted Cruz goes after Library of Congress for dropping term 'illegal alien' [barf alert]

After taking on Big Bird over his Covid-19 vaccination, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is going after the Library of Congress for abandoning the use of the term “illegal alien” as a subject heading for organizing materials.

The Library of Congress confirmed Thursday that it will change the subject headings “aliens” to “noncitizens” and “illegal aliens” to “noncitizens” and “illegal immigration.”

Cruz protested the changes in a letter dated Wednesday and posted on his website. Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., also signed the letter. The library had originally sought to make the changes in 2016.

Well I hope they change “illegal U-turn” to “undocumented U-turn” next.

Last month a cop pulled me over for making an undocumented U-turn and when I asked him why he pulled me over he said I made an “illegal U-turn”.

My wife who was sitting in the passenger seat gasped as did I at this slight. When I told the officer I did not appreciate his offensive language he apologized and corrected himself by using the appropriate terminology of “undocumented U-turn”. You see, people’s racism can be corrected when you point it out to them. I really hope Pete Butteggegg corrects those racist roads next.

All this illegal immigration could be solved overnight if Republicans would just prosecute Joe Biden for violating “18 U.S. Code § 3 - Accessory after the fact” of which he has millions of counts of committing.

18 U.S. Code § 3 - Accessory after the fact

Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact.

Except as otherwise expressly provided by any Act of Congress, an accessory after the fact shall be imprisoned not more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment or (notwithstanding section 3571) fined not more than one-half the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the principal, or both; or if the principal is punishable by life imprisonment or death, the accessory shall be imprisoned not more than 15 years.

And I am sure liberals will want to change more in the Library of Congress, since it can be used to document the Christian character of the US. As with,

The Continental-Confederation Congress, a legislative body that governed the United States from 1774 to 1789, contained an extraordinary number of deeply religious men. The amount of energy that Congress invested in encouraging the practice of religion in the new nation exceeded that expended by any subsequent American national government. Although the Articles of Confederation did not officially authorize Congress to concern itself with religion, the citizenry did not object to such activities. This lack of objection suggests that both the legislators and the public considered it appropriate for the national government to promote a nondenominational, nonpolemical Christianity.

Congress appointed chaplains for itself and the armed forces, sponsored the publication of a Bible, imposed Christian morality on the armed forces, and granted public lands to promote Christianity among the Indians. National days of thanksgiving and of "humiliation, fasting, and prayer" were proclaimed by Congress at least twice a year throughout the war. Congress was guided by "covenant theology," a Reformation doctrine especially dear to New England Puritans, which held that God bound himself in an agreement with a nation and its people. This agreement stipulated that they "should be prosperous or afflicted, according as their general Obedience or Disobedience thereto appears." Wars and revolutions were, accordingly, considered afflictions, as divine punishments for sin, from which a nation could rescue itself by repentance and reformation.

The first national government of the United States, was convinced that the "public prosperity" of a society depended on the vitality of its religion. Nothing less than a "spirit of universal reformation among all ranks and degrees of our citizens," Congress declared to the American people, would "make us a holy, that so we may be a happy people." - https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel04.html

You might want to save that page.

Yet LOC also documents that Jefferson's "wall of separation btwn church and state was politically motivated and reflective of his anti-Christian views, for he opposed even generic public expressions of thanksgiving to God by the government (which some regional Republicans then tended to oppose). Yet a parent or government which never expresses dependence upon a Power greater than itself and or gratitude to the same if effectively fostering atheism, which itself is a belief. As is the ideology of wokism, yet since it does not formally involve a deity, then it can be imposed upon the masses. The Founders quite understandably did not foresee this bigotry.
