Republican House To Waste Time This Week With Religious Pandering

The Republican Congress, rather than focusing on jobs, is busy pandering to its religious base. It hopes to pass a resolution Tuesday reaffirming that the nation’s motto is “In God We Trust.” (h/t Politicususa)

The proposed resolution, sponsored by Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., is aimed at “supporting and encouraging the public display of the national motto in all public buildings, public schools and other government institutions.”

Republicans argue the resolution, to go to a vote Tuesday, would help reverse what they see as an informal effort to remove mention of God from public buildings, The Hill reported.
