"America is not a Christian nation"

It's not the first time we have heard a quote like this. People who scream equality, are the same ones who downsize Christianity. There was a resolution that was voted on by house members previously, that asked them to vote YES on "honoring the Christian holiday of Christmas." However nine congressmen (all democrats) voted 'No' on this resolution. Apparently, "it was another sad attempt by conservative Republicans to skew the line between church and state and impose their belief that America is a Christian nation." quoted by Florida Congressman Alcee Hastings, who also quoted the first quote I have written above; "America is not a Christian Nation."

Yet the resolutions to honor holidays of Islam and Hinduism passed without any NO votes. Yet, according to those who opposed this resolution, it was a sad and desperate attempt by Conservatives to force Christianity on everyone. My problem isn't that they don't make the United States a Christian nation. Because I am all for diversity. My problem is however, that they are working so hard NOT to make it a Christian Nation. Easily promoting other religions along with their beliefs, but punishing me for wanting to have mine. For instance, the foot baths they want to put in airports for Muslims. Are they also going to allow Prayer Rooms for Christians to go in? I think not. A school teacher out of California led her Muslim students into a Muslim prayer. Yet, Christians are forbidden to do such an act. And yet, it's Conservatives who try these desperate attempts to push forth Christianity. Riiiight.

Congressman Hastings said: "As for the 'assault on Christianity,' all someone has to do is visit a shopping mall, turn on the radio or TV, or look at the Christmas trees sitting on the front lawns of the White House and the United States Capitol to realize that no such assault is underway." (And the Liberal Choir sings: Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.) Not true, Congressman. We just elected a Muslim Congressman, and he all but got on his knees and begged not to be sworn in on the Bible. And we gave in to a tradition we have always done. Prayer, is no longer permitted in schools. In God We Trust is being debated whether or not to remain on our currency. Having the word God in our Nation's pledge of allegiance is under attack. And you say there's no attack on Christianity? What country are you living in Congressman? You can put up a Christmas tree all you want to Congressman and call it equality. But an attack is underway. And I will use your voting record against you, you choose to vote 'yes' on Islamic Holidays, 'yes' on Hindu Holidays. But 'No' on Christmas. Yes, Congressman there is an attack. As long as we keep electing people like Alcee Hastings to Congress, these attacks will continue and will only get worse. In case you are not aware of exactly who Alcee Hastings is, he, at one time, was a Federal Judge. He was impeached for accepting $150,000 in bribery for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets, for two men by the names of Frank Romano and Thomas Romano. Hastings was also impeached for perjury in his testimony about the case. This is the man the people of Florida's District 23 elected to represent them.

The attack on one religion, and one religion only is quite evident. From foreign attacks dealing with terrorism. To domestic attacks dealing with isolation. The idea to demoralize morality in our children, our culture, and society all together, is becoming more and more popular with those whose plans have consisted of such things for many years. To turn back time is inevitable, but to change the course of history is not. The Demoralization Project, as I like to call it, punishes me for my beliefs, but encourages others to enforce and celebrate theirs. The idea didn't just come to existence, it has always been here. It reared up when we thought we had destroyed it. The idea will never be destroyed, but the presence of it in our culture can be. It's time we honor those who died for our freedom, our country, our heritage, our flag, our security and so much more, by stopping these attacks against us. To call this something less than an attack would be an understatement. Let your representatives know, we want this behavior stopped. The nine congressmen voting 'No' on this resolution were:

Alcee Hastings (D-FL)
Barbara Lee (D-CA)
