"Liberals want to amend our country’s history to eradicate the role of Christianity in America and chisel references to God or faith from our historical buildings."
Rep. Steve King, the only nay vote
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), was the only one to vote no regarding the House resolution Recognizing Slave Labor's Contribution to Capitol Building last night. The vote was 399 to 1.
“In the Capitol Visitor’s Center, we agreed to change the name of the Great Hall - which honored the immigrants that came legally to America - to Emancipation Hall to honor the 645,000 slaves and their descendants who were brought to the United States more than two centuries ago."
"Last night I opposed yet another bill to erect another monument to slavery because it was used as a bargaining chip to allow for the actual depiction of ‘In God We Trust’ in the CVC. The Architect of the Capitol and liberal activists opposed every reference to America’s Christian heritage, even to the extent of scrubbing ‘In God We Trust’ from the depiction of the actual Speaker’s chair in the U.S. House of Representatives..."
“This is just the latest example of a several year effort by liberals in Congress to scrub references to America’s Christian heritage from our nation's Capitol..."
“Our Judeo-Christian heritage is an essential foundation stone of our great nation and should not be held hostage to yet another effort to place guilt on future Americans for the sins of some of their ancestors. Christian abolitionists gave their lives by the hundreds of thousands to end slavery. Great American leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. worshiped God just as our Founding Fathers did. We must never forget this important aspect of our heritage or use it as a political bargaining chip.”

The heritage that made this country the greatest in the land is being replaced with a heritage that aims to paint that heritage as having been evil. What puzzles and bothers me most is not seeing this political polershift campaign aiming to paint our good heritage as evil, but what is attempting to replace our heritage.
If it does not bother you to see Obama denying this nation of being a Christian one, only to champion it as being one of the largest Muslim nations in the world, while seeing the middle class being ravaged down the cliff towards poverty by a fierce government using the poor through socialist policies to bring us down, then go ahead and bash on with your bad self...
America's Christian based middle class heritage is underattack. The government ia aiming to eradicate it in a power grab, by using the poor to justify its attack to take it down and even out the playing field to being one of Poverty row rather than amulti tier heritage where prosperity rather than dependance of the government is the hope of the people.
The new heritage of America is going to be one where the government gets control of spending the wealth of a nation rather than the people spending it. With the wasteful antics of government spending it won't be long now before the traditions and heritage of this nations middle class become a thing of the past the way so many have bought into demonizing our heritage while ignorantly not having a clue as to the end result heritage those who are executing this campaign are inspired to instill with their each according to his ability and each according to his need mantra.
When we as a society find ourselves demonizing the best we have going for us by focusing on the worst aspects of it which are better than the best aspects of what is aiming to replace it with, well it does not take a brain sergeon to not only see how not even irony can save us with Murphy's law having its way with our wanten disregard of what is truly good for us...:rolleyes:
399-1 :eek:wow:eek:
