It passed with only 9 no votes (8 Democrats and 1 Republican). Rachel’s point was to emphasize the rule change that Boehner put through this year that there wouldn’t be any of these honorary bills this session. They were going to focus like a laser on jobs jobs jobs jobs and more jobs. The House even made sure that they wouldn’t honor the Seal team that killed Osama bin Laden. I just saw it as a big fuck you to atheists. Thanks a lot, assholes. I don’t like you, either.

(From many, one – for those who don’t read Latin)
That’s what I taught my Latin students, anyway.
It strikes me as a much more fitting motto for this country,
but I suppose that it sounds too pro-immigration for the GOTP.

To many in this country, freedom of religion means freedom to be any kind of Christian you want.

Anywho, if I find the link, I’ll post it.
