House Resolution to re-affirm "motto" as "In God We Trust"
Once again, the time of the House has been wasted for something having nothing to do with problems Congress should be addressing. Yesterday they passed by an (unsurprising) overwhelming majority a resolution to confirm that the motto of the USA is "In God We Trust," holding up the ancient tradition that has been in place ever since our Founding Fathers made it so . . . in 1956. The original motto, E Pluribus Unum (From Many, One) is relegated to the scrapheap of history, one must assume.
Incensed as I am by that, I find more disturbing the fact that most of the people insisting on the import and relevance of the resolution are from the political party that has demonstrated repeatedly that its leaders never learned the central tenets of the faith they proclaim as the "true religion of this nation."
The man who told mankind "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them" seems unconnected to the "Let him die" crowd. In fact, he spoke against empty displays of faith.
To the leadership of the neo-Republican Party, I quote a less admirable voice when I say: "I find your lack of faith disturbing."
