Apparently, 18 Democrats voted "nay" or "present" on a resolution to "recognize the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith."
Of course this is creating quite a stir among the general wingnuttia.
How could these Democrats vote "for" Ramadan but "against" Christmas?
I think this is a perfect opportunity to introduce my own piece of legislation.
Read it after the fold.
Proposed Kittens Appreciation Bill
Whereas Kittens, a pet of great significance to Americans and many other cultures and nationalities, is enjoyed annually by people throughout the United States and the world;
Whereas there are approximately a whole lot of Kittens in the United States, making Kittens the preferred pet of over one-half of the American population;
Whereas there are approximately a whole bunch more of Kittens throughout the world, making Kittens the a very cute pet in the world and the pets of about one-third of the world population;
Whereas Kittens have contributed greatly to the development of western civilization;
Whereas the United States, being founded as a constitutional republic in the traditions of western civilization, finds much in its history that points to Kittens as being an approved pet for generations;
Whereas for Kittens, bird toys and tasty Kitten treats are celebrated as a recognition of Kittens, and how much we enjoy and appreciate Kittens;
Whereas many Kittens and non-Kittens throughout the United States and the rest of the world, celebrate Kittens: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes Kittens as one of the great pets of the world;
(2) expresses continued support for Kittens in the United States and worldwide;
(3) acknowledges the international and historical importance of Kittens;
(4) acknowledges and supports the role played by Kittens in the founding of the United States and in the formation of the western civilization;
(5) rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Kittens, both in the United States and worldwide; and
(6) expresses its deepest respect to American Kittens and Kittens throughout the world.
Now remember. To vote against this bill is a vote against Kittens!
What kind of nasty evil person could be against cute cuddly little kittens?
Oh BTW. We need to see who the kitten haters are so please indicate in comments if you voted for or against sweet, cute, cuddly kittens so we may identify the kitten haters.
I voted "for" adorable kittens.
