House GOP Won’t Allow Jobs Bill Vote But Spends Taxpayer Cash Defending DOMA

House GOP Won’t Allow Jobs Bill Vote But Spends Taxpayer Cash Defending DOMA: "During the campaign for the 2010 midterm elections, Republicans stressed that their focus in the 112th session of Congress would be jobs, jobs, jobs, and in keeping with their predilection to lying, they have not made any effort to create jobs or help the economy. What they have done for nine months besides kill jobs and damage economic recovery is obey one of their two masters with religious fervor reminiscent of Islamic extremists in Afghanistan. The GOP has faithfully complied with the Koch brothers’ libertarian mandates, but their corporatist agenda takes a backseat to their work for evangelical Christians.

There is an absolute connection between the Republicans’ Draconian spending cuts and evangelical Christians that was briefly commented on yesterday in this column, but beyond cutting services and programs that assist the poor, children, and elderly Americans, there has been a decidedly focused effort to enforce biblical edicts on the entire country. Earlier this year, Republicans attempted to redefine rape in order to restrict victims of sexual assault from getting abortions. Republicans are still attempting to defund and eliminate Planned Parenthood regardless that federal law prohibits any federal money from being used for abortion services, or that only 3% of their services was for abortions. A couple of days ago, the House passed a bill that restricts private insurance from offering abortion services in a move to ban the legal medical procedure at the behest of Catholics....."

And people are worried about a Muslim take over. Muslims don't scare me. Christians scare me.

“Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth.”
