Exihibit A...our political system in motion...;o) At the risk of looking like I might be defending them (which, if anyone reads any of my previous posts, they'll see that's not going to happen) let me ask one simple question... Did any of you actually research the bill? Here's a link to the Library of Congress which has the bill in it's entirety... http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_1348.html#toc0 Here's the deal...I think it hilarious and a shame they need a bill with 800 some-odd sections to pass English as a national language. With that said, the dandies listed will simply say "I had philosophical differences with parts of the bill" in their pontificating, self-elevating tone. This is not simply a bill to pass English as our National language. It's a grossly far reaching bill that deals with national security, border patrol, immigration, etc. Ughhhhhh! Does anybody ever get the idea we could possibly do a better job?? :o) At the end of the day, we're incorrectly making judgements based on what we think is a simple decision, but, in reality (and in our corrupt political law system) wasn't a simple decision (but undeniably should be very simple, and we all assume it should be simple). True, the political system is broken and ineffective. But we have to be accurate in our criticisms so we don't come off looking foolish. As Christians, we have a huge responsibility there! Let's make sure we all do our research!! Blessings... Paul P.S. -- I hope that didn't come off as excusing their ineptness and disrespect for the people. I love this country and especially those who have given to preserve it! God bless them.
