Georgia does it again!
It never ceases to amaze me that people are smart enough to get elected to congress but not smart enough to read and interpret things like the Bill of Rights. The First Amendment clearly states
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion . . .
And just for those who have to be hit over the head with it. Here it is set in stone-
But over and over both nationally and locally well-meaning government officials keep ignoring what it says. The newest attempt is from Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.), a medical doctor and member of Prince Avenue Baptist Church in Athens, Ga. (Why do these kinds of things come so often from Georgia and Alabama?) As if to justify what he clearly knows to be "bs" the good doctor said in an interview with the Washington Post, "This doesn't have anything to do with Christianity . . ." Just how stupid does he think the American people are?
If you are now feeling superior to the buffoons in Georgia who keep electing people like this here are the bill's co-sponsors:
Rep Gingrey, Phil -GA
Rep Westmoreland, Lynn A. -GA
Rep Carter, John R. -TX
Rep Gohmert, Louie -TX
Rep Marchant, Kenny -TX
Rep Forbes, J. Randy -VA
Rep Goodlatte, Bob -VA
Rep Akin, W. Todd- MO
Rep Bachmann, Michele -MN
Rep Franks, Trent -AZ
Rep Jordan, Jim -OH
Rep Lamborn, Doug -CO
Rep McCotter, Thaddeus G. -MI
Rep Pence, Mike -IN
Rep Wamp, Zach -TN
That's three from Georgia, three from Texas, and two from Virginia. Just so you can be well-informed, Rep. Westmoreland is the same one that made of fool of himself on the Colber(t) Repor(t) when, after sponsoring a bill to post the ten commandments in public buildings, could only name three of them and got one of them wrong. No matter how you grade it, 2 out of 10 is failing.
