Yes. Disgusting that there was only two minutes of debate. I guess there are none in the House that believe in free speech and freedom of expression.

I don’t think the roll call vote on this has been posted yet. It probably happened too late. Will be interesting to see how the votes look.

All to distract from the regime and Hitlerys scandals as she runs for Supreme ruler.

I think that was the whole point of the voice vote. They are NOT recorded. The article says “House Passed....” There won’t be a roll call then if I read it right.

You can bet the farm that the main stream media will not mention any of her scandals. And if Obama allows an election, she will be elected. Because that is how far down we, as a Nation, have sank morally.

So was there a vast outcry from the people to do this?

If there is, I haven’t heard it.

OK now this is getting flat, freakin’ ridiculous. It’s one thing for the government to take down the Confederate flag, but banning family members for decorating relative’s graves?

...two minutes of debate...

I think this issue will be revisited once more people get wind of this.

All this noise about fags and flags.

All this chaos about PC remarks form candidates.

It's all infotainment, to keep you distracted.

The only question, the one few are asking, should be: What Are We Being Distracted From?
