Shame on Congress for wasting their/our time with these crap resolutions.

Props to those that had the balls to either not vote, or voted "present".

"Amazingly, all but two of the representatives who answered "present" or voted against the Christmas resolution voted in favor of a resolution recognizing Ramadan, even though much of the language was similar," the group said.

Yes, I read all of the article. Non-binding feel-good resolutions like this are a waste of time. I don't care what the subject is, and I do not care who did or did not vote for/against some other non-binding resolution. Do nothing Congress continues to do nothing.

................. It's always nice to remind folks who they are voting in every 2 years. These folks would give suicide bombers lotion to put on their chafed skin where the suicide belt was cutting them

Only 2 of those you lauded were worthy of your endorsement then.

BS.
Your statement is about as stupid as saying those republicans would give abortion clinic bombers/terrorists a zippo lighter for their sticks of dynamite.

It serves to remind voters just HOW leftist and removed some of these people are (plus it's less time they have to raise taxes) . I feel I can safely say that elected officials in middle east countries (there MUST be some who were elected) don't feel similarly about anything important to Christians
