Every political party has its share of clowns; still, it will be worth keeping an eye out for Idaho Republican Bill Sali. Here’s what the Congressman had to say recently, objecting to, well, non Judeo-Christian faiths being heard in Washington:
“We have not only a Hindu prayer being offered in the Senate, we have a Muslim member of the House of Representatives now, Keith Ellison from Minnesota. Those are changes — and they are not what was envisioned by the Founding Fathers,” asserts Sali. Sali says America was built on Christian principles that were derived from scripture. He also says the only way the United States has been allowed to exist in a world that is so hostile to Christian principles is through “the protective hand of God.” “You know, the Lord can cause the rain to fall on the just and the unjust alike,” says the Idaho Republican.
