From an article entitled “The Bible bill?”, by Victoria McGrane – Fri May 22, 5:40 am ET
When the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31, 2009, Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) hopes you’ll be ringing in “the Year of the Bible.”
It’s probably just wishful thinking.
Broun’s simple congressional resolution aimed at honoring the Good Book has produced a push-back of biblical proportion in the blogosphere, with critics dismissing it as either unconstitutional or a waste of time. Jews in Congress and atheist activists are dismissing the resolution, while none of the many Democrats in Congress who are Christian have bothered to sign on as co-sponsors.
According to GovTrak.us, the resolution is among the most-blogged-about pieces of legislation, with most posts less than complimentary in nature.
“Does that mean 2009 is not the year of the Bible?” mocked Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who is Jewish. “What is 2012 the year of? The Quran?”
“That’s an endorsement of religion by the federal government, and we shouldn’t be doing that,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), even though he has introduced his own legislation dealing with religion.
“Republican lawmakers with apparently too much time on their hands and no solutions to offer the country are pushing a resolution that will not address the nation’s problems or advance prosperity or even untangle their previous governing mistakes,” blogged the Progressive Puppy.
Broun rejects the critiques leveled at this effort.
“This doesn’t have anything to do with Christianity,” he said in an interview with POLITICO. Rather, he says, it seeks to recognize that the Bible played an integral role in the building of the United States, including providing the basis for our freedom of religion that allows Muslims, Hindus and even atheists to vocalize their own beliefs.

The incredible amount and varieties of horse shit, that keeps oozing from the multiple orifices of the United States Government, never ceases to amaze, disgust and amuse me.
The Year of The Bible, as decreed by the United States Congress. Hey, I only see a few problems with this issue. Separation of Church and State, for one and a whole host of other issues, violating other federal, state and local laws, not to mention common sense and courtesy.
Broun, you dope. What a fucking bone head. There is so may things wrong with this, it is no wonder as the article says: “Broun’s simple congressional resolution aimed at honoring the Good Book has produced a push-back of biblical proportion in the blogosphere, with critics dismissing it as either unconstitutional or a waste of time.” It has little support among congress and the general public.
As a side bar look what Barney Fag…err..Frank has to say:
“Does that mean 2009 is not the year of the Bible?” mocked Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who is Jewish. “What is 2012 the year of? The Quran?”
Well to the fudge packing, cock sucking congressman from Mass-he-chews-tits, I would ask is 2004 the year of the “Faggot Congressmen Who Fucked the US Economy Up the Ass”? Barney gay boy and his band of brain dead democrat congressional fuck heads played a huge roll in the present fucked up economy by failing to oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack? Check it out, on video, in their own words:

Sorry, but every time is see that asshole Frank, I have to throw up this video. However, in this case, Frank is correct. Thats one in a row, Barney. Hey that rymes with “Blow me!”
However, the equally brain dead asshole Broun asserts the following: ““This doesn’t have anything to do with Christianity,”. What????
The dope Broun continues, saying that the Bible played an integral role in the building of the United States, including providing the basis for our freedom of religion that allows Muslims, Hindus and even atheists to vocalize their own beliefs, to which I say bullshit.
The Bible is totally intolerant of any other religion and does not leave any room for “religious freedom”.
Dueteronomy Chapter 7, verse 3 + 4:
3:Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4: For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
The God of the Bible did not take kindly to people serving other Gods. In fact, He will “destroy thee suddenly”, for doing such a thing. There is a huge lesson in religious tolerance and freedom there. Like the God of the Bible doesn’t allow it and will seriously kill your sorry ass.
Anyone familiar with the Bible should know this without looking.
Here’s another gem, illustrating the God of the Bibles good nature toward other religions:
Exodus 34: 14 + 15:
“14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: 15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice”
“Jealous”. That’s a word that exudes religious tolerance.
“Hey, it’s OK if you tolerate other religions in your new country. I’m cool with that. I know, I know, The Bible calls me a jealous God, but it’s the 1700’s! Let’s get past all this religious intolerance. This new country will be really cool! Tell everyone the God has a new attitude!””
There are many other examples where the God of the Bible slaughters men, women and children simply because they are unbelievers and when it’s made clear that unbelievers will be killed or burned in hell eternally, depending on which one of the many diverse theologies people have extracted from the same book.
Broun, you brain dead asshole. The notion of a U S Government sponsored “Year of the Bible” is wrong on so many levels without you raising the religious tolerance issue. The Bible, Jesus and most Christian Religions are no more tolerant of other religions than the Muslims, Jews and Hindus. In fact, Bible based religions are intolerant of each other to the point of bloodshed. Do the problems between the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland ring a bell, you asshole?
Broun is a “Christian” and is trying to give his religion some influence over the U S Government. Tell it like it is. Don’t couch it in “religious tolerance” bullshit.
There are two real issues here, of any substance, the first being the separation of church and state issue. The second is asked by the author of the above article: What about the economy, health care, global warming and all the other issues on Congress’ plate?
Good question. As we suffer through the worst economic crises in decades, Broun dithers and wastes time on a “non issue”. Hey, Broun and all you other government fuck heads: get to work and stop fucking around with this type of bullshit issue. Facing and working on real pressing issues apparently is too much work for Mr. Broun. Does it give you a headache Pauly?
“Man, all these spreadsheets, financial reports, projections, policy briefings, it’s all a big blur for this old country boy from Georgia. Some guy was palabering about the OMB. I don’t even know what that is but I think I can spell it. I’m hearing all this talk about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and I haven’t even met these two guys yet, but I say haul ‘em in front of congress and give ‘em what fur!”
“But we need to honor the Good Book. Yea, that’ll make me a big dog back home”
Hey, Broun, good idea. Go back home. In fact, take Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters and Harry Reid with you
Fucking Morons.
