Most of the truly nutty politicians on the national stage reside in the House of Representatives. One current example of this is Randy Forbes Republican of Virginia. Mr Forbes is the sponsor of House Resolution 888 which is intended to combat what the Congressman sees as an assault on the Christian religion in America. The introduction of the bill came on the heels of H.R 847 which supported the “role played by Christians and Christianity in the founding of the United States…” and “expresses continued support for Christians in the United States.” HR 888 is a bit more bizarre than HR 847. One component in the resolution is to have the education on America’s history of religious faith taught in public schools. There is a current among right wing politics that wishes to wipe away the establishment clause of the Constitution. The scary part of HR 888 is there are 31 co-sponsors for the bill. If anything is un-American it is these zealous bastards. To read much more on the bill check out Jason Leopold’s great article below in the Baltimore Chronicle. A special thanks to Ms Hale for giving me a head’s up on the bill.
