Has Congressman Randy Forbes Considered Emigrating to Iran?

Some may think the title of this post extreme, but I am way over the ever increasing insanity/blatant self-prostitution (I haven't figured out which it is) of my former law school classmate Randy Forbes. He is obsessed with intertwining religion and the secular government - forgetting, of course, that the Constitution prohibits it. With all the huge issues facing the nation - not to mention the economic stagnation and serious "brain drain" in his own district - what does Forbes worry about? Seeking to quasi-establish religion. That's right, Forbes has introduced a bill to reaffirm "In God We Trust" as the national motto of the United States, and encourage its public display in all public buildings, public schools, and other government institutions. Forget about the nation's crumbling infrastructure, severe dependence on foreign oil, the rising sea levels threatening portions of his district, the struggling economy. Nope, none of these issues apparently matter to Forbes who is prostituting himself to please the coven of religious extremists at The Family Foundation and its allied organizations that want a theocracy in this country. If Randy wants a theocracy, he ought to emigrate to Iran where he'd quickly get a taste of what he seems to want so badly. Here are highlights from Caution Church Ahead that roundly thrashes Mr. Forbes:

This is just getting out of hand, as more and more real Americans find their way out of the morass of bullshit fundamentalist religion, a small cadre of lunatics keep trying to legislatively drag us back to the dark ages. It's time to stand up to these repugnant bullies and demand that our country stay free for people of all, and no, faith.

The House of Representatives Judiciary Committee will vote today on whether to reaffirm "In God We Trust" as the national motto of the United States, and encourage its public display in all public buildings, public schools, and other government institutions.

Congressman Randy Forbes (R-VA) is behind this resolution -- it may be said that he's leading the current legislative effort to confuse church and state. He and 64 co-sponsors (nearly all Republicans -- see list below) are hoping that the resolution's passage will encourage public display of "In God We Trust" in public schools and buildings -- a wholly unsavory practice that establishes one religious perspective (that of theism) as official, national, and patriotic . . .

Congressman Forbes recently told Politico, "to a lot of people, the fact that this country was built on faith, the fact that faith is important, 'In God We Trust' is important." Of course, to a lot of people, that sounds like balderdash. This country was built on a Constitution, and according to that Constitution, the government is not to use its authority to promote any position on the questions of religion, theistic or atheistic.

Please call 202-224-3121 and encourage him or her [your member of Congress] to defend freedom of conscience and the separation of church of state, by voting against this resolution.
