I see the Knuckle Draggers are back in force

December 2, 2008 - Greenville, S.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) made the following statement on the opening of the new Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) in Washington, D.C. He recently fought to include prominent displays of our national motto, "In God We Trust," and the Pledge of Allegiance within the CVC. The Architect of the Capitol has also been instructed to consider the rich faith heritage of our Nation when selecting the content of any future display.

 

“The Capitol Visitor Center is designed to tell the history and purpose of our nation's Capitol, but it fails to appropriately honor our religious heritage that has been critical to America’s success,” said Senator DeMint. “While the Architect of the Capitol has pledged to include some references to faith, more needs to be done. You cannot accurately tell the history of America or its Capitol by ignoring the religious heritage of our Founders and the generations since who relied on their faith for strength and guidance. The millions of visitors that will visit the CVC each year should get a true portrayal of the motivations and inspirations of those who have served in Congress since its establishment.

 

“The current CVC displays are left-leaning and in some cases distort our true history. Exhibits portray the federal government as the fulfillment of human ambition and the answer to all of society’s problems. This is a clear departure from acknowledging that Americans’ rights ‘are endowed by their Creator’ and stem from ‘a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.’ Instead, the CVC’s most prominent display proclaims faith not in God, but in government. Visitors will enter reading a large engraving that states, ‘We have built no temple but the Capitol. We consult no common oracle but the Constitution.’ This is an intentional misrepresentation of our nation’s real history, and an offensive refusal to honor America's God-given blessings. As George Washington stated clearly in his first inaugural address:

‘…t would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official Act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the Universe, who presides in the Councils of Nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the People of the United States, a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes: and may enable every instrument employed in its administration to execute with success, the functions allotted to his charge.’

“The fundamental principles of the freedom we enjoy in this country stem from our Founding Fathers’ beliefs in a higher power, beliefs put forth in the Declaration of Independence and manifest throughout our Constitution,” said Senator DeMint. “If we cease to acknowledge this fact, we may cease to enjoy some of the freedoms we take for granted. We must not censor historical references to God for the sake of political correctness. And we must truthfully represent the limited form of government the Constitution lays out so that our ‘government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.’ So help us God.”

Most threads are started by pro-pillow-munchers who think killing babies are fine and dandy. I don't see how a few "conservative" ones are such a big deal unless your free-speech-o-meter is going crazy. You want a board where only you start and control the conversation. Go shove it up your ass, I mean there is nothing wrong with it right? Maybe you were born that way and might like it.

Pillow munchers, that is a new one, what is it???.... You do have a right to free speech and to be stupid and to insult me, so what. I was just commenting on the fact that you knuckle draggers... oh sorry troglodytes appear to be alive and well despite the appearance of the Messiah.

 

And as far as killing babies, that is just a matter of timing... the old adage with your crowd is you libs birth... we'll kill 'em... say in a useless poorly run war on Iraq.

Government Waste

Civil Liberty Literacy Test

Hippies Go to Washington

 

only a couple of LWers, ah, I was just wondering why NY counties keep talking about raising taxes in an economic downturn. Even the Messiah has enough sense to abandon that idea.

 

You know, I take umbrage with the "right-wing knuckle dragger" qualification of one of those. "Civil Liberty Literacy Test", though started by a partisan ape, was hardly a partisan thread. It was probably one of the more useful threads started recently.
