Religion In Congress, Taxes, Marriage, And The War

Congress approves of Islam, Hinduism, but not Christmas
The House has voted on resolutions recognizing Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity in recent weeks, but one thing sticks out in a big way: only Christianity failed to get unanimous approval.  That's right, nine Democrats voted 'no' on the resolution to recognize the importance of Christianity, with another nine voting 'present'.  This is extremely disturbing considering that America's foundation is Christian, and about 75% of the country identifies itself as Christian.  Just another example of how Congress is completely out of step with the American people, to a very disturbing extent.

History shows Democrats and tax hikes are linked
Grover Norquist points out how very few Democrats signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge (vowing not to raise taxes), and all of those who did have violated that pledge.  In contrast, almost 200 Republicans in Congress (and Pres. Bush) have signed it, and almost all of them have stayed true.  It's a party thing - Democrats in charge means more taxes on the American people.  Don't give them the chance to do it again!

Marriage amendment battle in Sunshine state
Florida voters will have their say on marriage being defined as between one man and one woman next November.  I predict it will pass easily, then be set aside by a single liberal, activist judge.  The thing to remember here is that elected officials (President or Governor) appoint these judges, so it absolutely matters who wins these elections.

Harry Reid and Al Qaeda

Gateway Pundit posts on the disaster that is Harry Reid.  He references a New York Times article talking about how Reid has called President Bush a loser and a liar, and has said he hates Bush.  Reid also continues to state that America has lost the war in Iraq despite all the evidence to the contrary.  In particular, check out these two articles ( here and here) that say top leaders of Al Qaeda have more or less admitted defeat and are calling for their troops to put down their arms.  Harry Reid is the true loser, completely out of touch with reality and the American people, and has brought utter disgrace to the Democrat party through his actions and words.

There's my two cents.
