Saved! House GOP Introduces Resolution Defending Christmas

By GottaLaff

What next, a resolution defending food? Oh, but not the dreaded acorn cookies. There'd have to be an amendment to omit those:

This week, 19 House Republicans unveiled a resolution (H. RES. 951) to make it clear that Congress likes Christmas.

Whereas Christmas is a national holiday celebrated on December 25; and

Whereas the Framers intended that the First Amendment of the Constitution, in prohibiting the establishment of religion, would not prohibit any mention of religion or reference to God in civic dialog: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

(1) recognizes the importance of the symbols and traditions of Christmas;

(2) strongly disapproves of attempts to ban references to Christmas; and

(3) expresses support for the use of these symbols and traditions by those who celebrate Christmas.

Good thing that billion dollars is being invested so well on our behalf, isn't it?

I'm waiting for a resolution on Hanukkah now. Orrin?
