will it actually reach a vote?
Simple really. Liberals do not believe in God. They think they created everything.
Shows the Democrats for the anti-Christian bigots they are.
Way to go, Congressman King!! Let them vote against this one.
Let’s see what Pelosi does with this one.
She will support this one. She is a Catholic and we love Christmas.
Any Congress-Critter who votes against this is unfit to be dog catcher.
I would vote against it because it is absolutely pointless.
I would vote against it in protest of the time wasted. If liberals ever wanted to howl about violations of the first amendment*, this would be a good one.
*I realize this is a resolution and not a law, but I think the point stands.
It needs to be more inclusive. It doesn’t recognize the importance of homos or atheists. It doesn’t proclaim Islam as the religion of peace. It doesn’t apologize for the oppression of women or people of a any particular colored persuasion. It doesn’t begin to address the problem of imminent destruction we face because of global warming. And the children; how does it help the children.And what about Hiroshima? This is a non starter.
These rights come from God, not man and we need no law for them, only our Constitution.
.
If the House “rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians, both in the United States and worldwide”, is that actionable? Would it require actual rejection of such on their part?
I think it’s sad.
Sad we’ve come to this.
Sad that the hypocrats had two people supporting it while 49 Republicans did.
But on the other hand, it’s also sad that congress is wasting our time with this, because something like this is meaningless. ACLU types will still make it their life’s work to make it unbearable for Christians to live in this country.
Funny...the people that abhor laws that so much as recognize Christianity, however meaningless, but pay no attention whatsoever to rules/ laws etc. that tear it down.
I’m with you, this is a complete waste of time and tax dollars. It’s hard to believe anyone would find value in such a pathetic charade, I’d hope more freepers could see through such b.s.

Who cares ... carry one of those smaller cans of spray paint ... every time you see a “holiday’ or ‘winter’ anything ... just be one of the people that changes it back to ‘Christmas festival of lights’ or ‘Christmas trees for sale’ ... at 2 in the morning ... who knows?

It’s true, but a legislative body should not be doing that. It’s not their role.
CAPITOL HILL (AP) -- The U.S. House has passed a resolution "Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith" -- but it wasn't unanimous.
The measure was approved by a vote of 372-to-9, with all of the "no" votes cast by Democrats. A similar resolution recognizing the importance of Ramadan and the Islamic faith was passed unanimously in October.
The 9 votes against the Christmas resolution were cast by Gary Ackerman and Yvette Clarke of New York; Diana Degette of Colorado; Alcee Hastings of Florida; Jim McDermott of Washington; Bobby Scott of Virginia; and Barbara Lee, Pete Stark and Lynn Woolsey of California
