Rep. Bill Sali (Neanderthal-ID)...Hindu prayer and Muslim Congressman spell the end of the Republic.
Edited on Thu Aug-09-07 11:23 PM by SaveElmer
This guy is a poster boy for the sad state of history education in this country...

And may I say...what an asshat...




Last month, the U.S. Senate was opened for the first time ever with a Hindu prayer. Although the event generated little outrage on Capitol Hill, Representative Bill Sali (R-Idaho) is one member of Congress who believes the prayer should have never been allowed.

"We have not only a Hindu prayer being offered in the Senate, we have a Muslim member of the House of Representatives now, Keith Ellison from Minnesota. Those are changes -- and they are not what was envisioned by the Founding Fathers," asserts Sali.

Sali says America was built on Christian principles that were derived from scripture. He also says the only way the United States has been allowed to exist in a world that is so hostile to Christian principles is through "the protective hand of God."

"You know, the Lord can cause the rain to fall on the just and the unjust alike," says the Idaho Republican.

According to Congressman Sali, the only way the U.S. can continue to survive is under that protective hand of God. He states when a Hindu prayer is offered, "that's a different god" and that it "creates problems for the longevity of this country."

4. Do these nutcases not even try to hide the fact that they want a theocracy?
Just wondering. Personally, I think I'd try to hide the fact that I'm trying to destroy the foundation of freedom of religion and turn our democracy into a theocracy. I wouldn't be too proud of that. But that's just me.

11. I wish I had heard about Hinduism as a kid.
Blue monkeys or Christ on a cross is an easy pick for a small boy.
