Democrat Christmas Haters in Congress
As we struggle along in our war against the Christmas Haters, it was nice of Representative JoAnn Davis (R-VA) to sponsor a resolution acknowledging Christmas and America's Christian heritage. But to 22 Donk Congressmen, Christmas is should not be recognized.
How could you vote against a Christmas resolution? Real easy, if you don't hold the values that it takes, then you must be a valueless Donk. Hmmmm, notice that 30% of them are from Calif? This is not a suprizing fact, since Calif. has the premier No Values state in the nation, and a Donk from there wouldn't vote for anything that smacks of values or Christianity. I can't believe that the Donks want to become the Majority party, but not with this kind of voting they won't. Merry Christmas Donks, I will be enjoying it while you will be crying in your pillows.

This year's "War for Christmas" – keeping "Christ" in the holiday has apparently been won. And, like many "wars," there has even been a Congressional resolution in support of keeping Christmas alive and well.
On December 15 the House of Representatives passed a resolution "protecting the symbols and traditions of Christmas" by an overwhelming 401-22 vote.
Representative JoAnn Davis (R-VA), the resolution's sponsor, said the resolution was necessary to counter "political correctness run amok."
"No one," she said, "should feel like they have done something wrong by wishing someone a Merry Christmas."
Twenty-two Democrats played Scrooge and disagreed.
Davis lodged a preemptive response to critics who might question the constitutionality of her resolution.
"Celebrating Christmas is not a violation of separation of church and state," she said. "The Framers intended that the First Amendment to the Constitution would prohibit the establishment of religion, not prohibit any mention of religion or reference to God in civic dialogue."
The text of the resolution read as follows:
Whereas Christmas is a national holiday celebrated on December 25; and
Whereas the Framers intended that the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States would prohibit the establishment of religion, 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, for those who celebrate Christmas.
As the Christmas season draws to a close, we thought we would share the names of the 22 Congressman who voted against the pro-Christmas resolution:

Blumenauer D-OR 3rd
