War on Non-Christians continues December 13, 2007

No, I don’t actually believe Christians are waging a war against non-believers–at least, not most of them. But Christians constantly whine about oppression while doing stupid shit like proposing a resolution about how yea-yea good Christmas is. In this case, the offender is Rep. Steve King (R-Fairyland) who is trying to make the “War on Christmas” a reality just by wishing it were so.
My favorite part of the resolution:
Resolved, That the House of Representatives–
(5) rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians, both in the United States and worldwide;
What the hell? If King was actually interested in fighting bigotry and persecution, wouldn’t the resolutin read “rejects bigotry and persecution worldwide” or at least “rejects bigotry and persecution against all people, regardless of their religious beliefs worldwide”? But of course that’s the point: King wants to pander to his wingnut base, not to actually support freedom.
What else would you suspect from someone who’s trying to sneak “War on Christmas” and “Christian Nation” bullshit into the congressional record?
[Update: Look what King had to say about this. Rep. King, please, for your own damn good: take an American History class, one not offered by Liberty University.]
