During
a discussion on gun legislation, Arizona State Sen. Sylvia Allen (R) expressed
her support for mandatory church attendance nationwide. “Probably we should be
debating a bill requiring every American to attend a church of their choice on
Sunday to see if we can get back to having a moral rebirth,” Allen said at a
recent Senate subcommittee meeting.
Rep. Pete
Sessions (R), chairman of the House Rules Committee, said he did the math and
that the federal government will be paying $5 million dollars per Obamacare
beneficiary in the 2016 fiscal year. After others did the math correctly, the
actual cost is closer to $4,130 per person.
Sen.
David Vitter (R-LA) filed a budget amendment intended to keep American dollars
printed as paper currency – instead of minting fancy, European-style coins. The
Louisiana Republican objected to a proposal by Senate Budget Committee Chairman
Mike Enzi (R-WY), who wants to facilitate the move toward dollar coins as a
potential budget-cutting measure.
Indiana Governor
Mark Pence signed the disingenuously named “Religious Freedom Bill” into law
that allows businesses the right to refuse serving
gays and lesbians on religious grounds. Former Star Trek actor and gay
rights activist George Takei is leading a boycott of the state, urging people
not to attend events taking place in Indiana.
Rep.
Gordon Klingenschmitt (R-Colorado Springs) commented about the recent attack on
a pregnant woman where her unborn child was removed from her womb. "This
is the curse of God upon America for our sin of not protecting innocent
children in the womb," Klingenschmitt said, attributing the attack in
Longmont to legal policy on unborn children. "Part of that curse for our
rebellion against God as a nation is that our pregnant women are ripped open."
Texas Senator
and Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz said this week, “The global
warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-earthers.” He also said that
he used to listen to rock music, but switched to country after 9/11. Oh, and he
also signed up for Obamacare.
In an
interview during this year’s state of the union address, Republican
presidential candidate Ben Carson called President Obama a psychopath.
