House Whip Sends Bible To Every Hill Office For 'Decision-Making' Guidance

[bodecea]

No Constitutional issue, those that receive the Bible are free to PUT IT ASIDE. Also, if he does his work, this is HIS free time; though I find this a PR stunt, as he does not represent my district, I accept the decision of his constituents.

It's the religious mentality that I find scary - which taints how they legislate.

Christophobic bigot.

Can you see your house from up there?

PR stunt?? If anyone in this country as much as breathes the Lord Jesus Christ, they are labeled, attacked , crushed swiftly by the left in this country.. No one has forgotten the spectacle of liberals voting God out of their party platform and booing when Odumbo made you all put him back in.. which was nothing more than politics.. NOW THAT WAS a PR stunt.

Christians sure like to play the Poor Persecuted, don't they?

We learned from leftist trash. Christophobic hateful bigot.

Nope, but I can definitely smell your stinky lying hateful leftist nasty ass. Palin never lied to me. Your nasty fraud president did. Fucking trash.

OMG.. He sent someone a bible.. THAT'S it.. Throw him in prison..

I would - and his Teabagger ass would stay there until he memorized the Constitution.

Sending someone a bible is not a crime you idiot and unless he tries to create a theocracy there would be legal basis for throwing him or anyone else in prison that would fall under the heading of unlawful imprisonment.

Thankfully, religious superstition will eventually die out. People will evolve.

I disagree that it is a crime...but it was totally inappropriate and hope it was not done using tax-payer funds.

But then again, someone might have some of that really horrible gray government furniture we used to have in the Navy and it just might help with a desk with a wobbly leg...if someone can't think of another use for it.

Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MS), wants them all to jerk off with him to his reading material.

A Republican congressman recently sent a copy of the Holy Bible to every member of Congress "to help guide you in your decision-making," according to a letter obtained by TPM.

Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MS) enclosed the Bible in his letter dated July 29 and sent to all House and Senate offices. The letter, written on an official letterhead in his capacity as assistant majority whip, was confirmed by Capitol Hill aides whose offices received it.

"On a daily basis, we contemplate policy decisions that impact America's future. Our staffs provide us with policy memos, statistics, and recommendations that help us make informed decisions. However, I find that the best advice comes through meditating on God's Word," Palazzo wrote.

"Please find a copy of the Holy Bible to help guide you in your decision-making," the congressman continued, saying the Bibles were donated by one of his constituents from South Mississippi named J.B. Atchison.

Barry W. Lynn, the executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, criticized the idea of using the Bible as a guide for legislating.

"When a politician calls for using the Bible as the basis for public policy, what he or she is really saying is, 'Let's use the Bible as I interpret it as the basis for public policy,'" Lynn said in response to Palazzo's letter. "When it comes to religion, our nation is pluralistic and diverse. Rather than look to the Bible or any other religious book to craft our nation's public policy, we would do well to examine another source instead, one that was actually created to guide governance. It's called the Constitution."

Palazzo rode into Congress on the tea party wave of 2010. He represents a deeply conservative district in southeastern Mississippi based in Biloxi. His office didn't return a message requesting to discuss the letter.

We are governed by the U.S. Constitution - regardless of what this Tea Party nut may think. As an Atheist, I find this very offensive. The Bible should have no influence on how we are governed. God is not mentioned in the Constitution - hence, we have a Godless Constitution.

No more jerkin off in the cloakroom for the LIBTARDS???

Having religious faith and being evolved are mutually exclusive nice display of religious bigotry though.

I do not want to be governed by anyone who worships a supernatural being who impregnated his own mother and became his own father.

God is mentioned in the Constitution, so you are wrong again.

So, you would have no problem with Rep. Keith Ellison handing out copies of the Quran to all House members.

Exactly what did he do that you deem to be unconstitutional, did he send a bill to the house to create a national religion, no, that is the only prohibition in the 1st Amendment. If he felt called by his faith to send the Bibles then he can do so constitutionally under the free exercise clause. So come on shitting full of bull, enlighten us on your nonexistent constitutional wisdom.

 

[Lakhota]

I look forward to Rep. Keith Ellison handing out copies of the Quran to all House members.
