Nine Democrats DON'T Wish You a Merry Christmas

Could the war on everything that is good and decent in America get any worse?

Apparently so.

Now we have to deal with anti-Christian Democrats.

From Liberty Pundit:

Wow. We always knew it, but rarely has it been so effectively displayed:

From the office of GOP Rep. Steve King:

Congressman Steve King reacted this morning to the nine “NO” votes on his resolution to honor Christmas and the Christian faith. The vote shocked Capitol Hill observers because votes on similar resolutions honoring the holidays of Islam and Hinduism passed without any NO votes.

Appearing this morning on the Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends, King said, “The [nine] naysayers didn’t make it to the floor to debate. I would like to know how they could vote Yes on Islam, Yes on the Indian Religions and No on Christianity when the foundation of this nation and our American culture is Christianity…I think there’s an assault on Christianity in America.”

The nine Members voting NO were Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY), Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) (FL), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA), Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA), and Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA). None of the nine voted against resolutions honoring the Islamic holiday of Ramadan and the Hindu holiday of Diwali.

If you don't think Christianity is being singled out for abuse, Liberty Pundit has a couple of questions for you:

[W]hen was the last time you heard of any non-Christian religion being sued for having a religious symbol on display? When was the last time you heard a lib scream “Church and State, Church and State!!!” when a non-Christian religion was mentioned on public property? That’s what I thought.

From Moonbattery:

Not all Democrats in Congress bother to be subtle about their hostility toward our culture, and their eagerness to pander to those who share that hostility.

A few weeks ago Congress passed a resolution recognizing the brutal terrorist cult Islam as "one of the great religions of the world" and honoring Ramadan. It passed unanimously.

Then came a resolution with similar wording, honoring Christmas, and decrying violence against Christians around the world. Nine Congresskooks were bold enough in their depravity to vote against it:

  • Gary Ackerman (D-NY)
  • Yvette Clarke (D-NY)
  • Diana DeGette (D-CO)
  • Alcee Hastings (D-FL)
  • Barbara Lee (D-CA)
  • Jim McDermott (D-WA)
  • Robert Scott (D-VA)
  • Pete Stark (D-CA)
  • Lynn Woolsey (D-CA)

Ten others voted "present"; here's a surprise: one of them (Mike Pence of Indiana) isn't a Democrat.

Presumably all of these characters have more Christians in their districts than Muslims. Whoever they're representing, it isn't the misguided voters who put them in office.
