Apology to Muslims and censure of Boykin: Resolution H. Res. 419, introduced by Rep. John Conyers

Please write your congressional representative about Resolution H. Res. 419, introduced by Representative John Conyers (D-MI). Click here for the Congress.org link.

The language concerning “religiously intolerant remarks” amounts to censorship of Christian, as well as other beliefs. The resolution is a knee-jerk reaction to Lieutenant General William “Jerry” Boykin’s exercise of Free Speech and Freedom of Religion in his own church. Proposing such a bill is the worst kid of appeasement to a group that is aggressively intolerant to non-Muslims around the world and promotes its own religious agenda right here in the USA.

We cannot allow a secularist policy of appeasement to dictate how we practice our religion in the name of “tolerance.” Moreover, the resolution itself is intolerant. Americans should react with outrage to the potential for censoring and regulating our personal convictions and our right to practice them openly.

Yet another two-fer ping on the B/C & JD! lists...

[At _War_With_Liberals]

Anyone who uses the terms intolerant, multicultural and diversity is an enemy of the Constitution.

[ICE-FLYER]

Whereas;
John Conyers is a race baiting hatemonger

AND

Whereas John Conyers is muckraking all the time for personal political gain;

AND

Whereas John Conyers ought to be totaly ashamed of himself and all others who would gladly trash the career of honorable Officers who are dedicated to our nations security

AND

Wheras harnesing the intellectual power of John Conyers would not be enough energy to punch out of a wet paper bag;

BE IT RESOLVED;
That John Conyers be laughed out of the rotunda, held up as an example of what not to be, ridiculed and rightly returned to his district for recall by people of common sense.

[Judith Anne]

I do believe they are, each and every one, hoping for some Moslem contributions to their re-election coffers. The bleeps.

[joesnuffy]

Gee any muslims in the good congresspersons district he needs to score points with?
How much PAC money from CAIR and its minons flowing in from Saudi Arabia into the good
congressman's pockets?

[Texas_Jarhead]

looks like the majority of the co-sponsors come from the Socialist caucus

[MoJo2001]

I thank God none of these morons represent me in Congress. I do pity those that have to suffer under their "leadership". Although, you've gotta wonder why they keep voting these morons in.

[MoJo2001]

Excuse. At MoJo's house we refer to them as THE UPPITY NEGRO ESTABLISHMENT.

The rest of us colored folks aren't invited to be in that club. We aren't that kind of "special". Thank God!

[ClintonBeGone]

The people who claim to be in the worst shape financially, physically and morally seem to elect guys like Conyers who only makes their situation worse.

[Unam Sanctam]

There should be a resolution censuring Senator Schumer for criticizing the "deeply held beliefs" of a certain judicial candidate (referring to his traditional Catholic belief in the wrongfulness of abortion and homosexual activity).

[azhenfud]

Sounds like the religiously intolerant bigots of Washington have all chimed in....

[Toespi]

Yeah, they will censure Boykin but not Kennedy. I find Kennedy's remarks against my President far more disturbing than Boykin's remarks against my enemy.

[MoJo2001]

I have my own drama in my district. I'm "gifted" to be under the leadership of Bobby "Do Nothing For the Brothas" Scott. It's all good in his neighborhood. Screw the rest of us.

The day that man gets voted out of office YOU WILL KNOW THAT THE FABULOUSLY TANNED SECTION OF AMERICA is waking up. Until then, you can just listen to Mojo complain about how much she loathes each one of them. UGH!

You have it absolutely right.

[scory]

And I believe that in a dimrat controlled House Conyers would be chairman of Ways and Means would he not? Just imagine the likes of this man in a position of real power. That really is a scary thought.

[MoJo2001]

Kennedy is a a "feel their pain" kind of Democrat. After all, if you don't agree with you..he'll drive you over the bridge. Oops! That was insensitive. Damn. Hehe!

[DoctorMichael]

If my memory serves right, the Hon. Conyers was also listed as a 'Party Member' on the American Communist Party website.

[LiteKeeper]

Conyers is a Socialist, and should be ignored - completely!

[Yankereb]

Because he is representative of the "Ignorant assholes" who vote for him. They are not the brightest bulbs in the pack, but they hate real good. This man has said some of the most absurb utterances that have ever come out of a man's mouth in the House. You probably have to have an IQ of 40 in order to be in his district. This way you won't embarras your representative by mataching his IQ of 50. Go Bless America where even idiots have representation.

[george wythe]

Boykin is being used as a political piñata by the Democrats.

I wonder how long Boykin can stand the heat before he quits. I hope he stays put.

[Warrior Nurse]

Is this resolution a violation of the 1st amendment? Congress shall make no law abridging(sp) free speech...

Don't you have to be a member of congress to be censured?

Someone help a brother out here please.

Isn't this type of stuff giving aid and comfort to the enemy?

If Chesty Puller and Patton were alive today the Democrats would have their panties in a serious bunch.

Why not censure Sen KKK Byrd droppings for his use of the N-Word on the Senate floor on national TV?
