Religious Oppression Continues

I have a hard time understanding how things within the political sphere could have gotten so ugly, so despicable so fast. I will never deny that I am bias when it comes to some of the religious connections related to the direction we are moving in. All my bias doesn’t take away from the facts.

House Of Representatives Debate Pledge Of Allegiance Bill

AHN | 07.19.2006

On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives debated on a bill to protect the Pledge of Allegiance from legal challenges.
...
The pledge bill would deny jurisdiction to federal courts, and appellate jurisdiction to the Supreme Court, to decide questions pertaining to the interpretation or constitutionality of the Pledge. State courts could still decide whether the pledge is valid within their state.

Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said, "We are making an all-out assault on the Constitution of the United States which, thank God, will fail."

Representative Patrick Kennedy said, "This is a joke that this majority would talk about God and yet not even work to raise the wages of the very people that are taking care of the children of God."

The bill's sponsor, Republican Todd Akins, said, "America was a nation of God-given inalienable rights and that's why the country is in a war against radical Islamists."

Religion oppresses in so many different ways. The Republican Right Wing is now trying to oppress our government. It is happening more and more everyday, I hope in November things change for the best.
