What more proof does anyone need that many of America’s political leaders are God-hating moral and spiritual degenerates? Increasingly, godless America, unless it repents, is like a you know what swirling around in a giant spiritual toilet bowl that is about to be flushed.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If this and other similar actions of the Democrat Party don’t offend you, then what’s wrong with you? And if you have a problem with my posting this article and spotlighting the moral repugnancy of these political leaders who are leading America down to hell, then you’re spiritually and morally sick too! Don’t bother to post your complaints here against me; trust me, they won’t see the light of day. Change the channel; my blog is not for you!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On this blog, we take no political sides. We’re on the side of truth and righteousness as defined by the Bible regardless of one’s race, political party, gender or any other manmade delineations. We give credit to anyone who stands for truth and righteousness regardless of their political affiliation, and when their words and actions disagree with the Bible, then we will criticize them as well and hold them accountable according to the Word of Elohim who will eventually bring the whole world into judgment (Rev 19:11\u201316).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dems to strike ‘so help you God’ from oath taken in front of key House committee, draft shows<\/h1>\n

Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert says that Trump\u2019s decision to reopen the government without funding for a wall is part of his negotiation strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A key\u00a0committee in the Democrat-controlled<\/a> House of Representatives is moving to eliminate the God reference\u00a0from the oath administered to witnesses testifying before the panel, as part of a new rules package expected to be approved this week, according to a draft obtained exclusively by Fox News.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0draft<\/a>\u00a0shows that the House Committee on Natural Resources would ask witnesses to recite only,\u00a0“Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”<\/p>\n

\n
The rules proposal<\/a> places the words\u00a0“so help you God” in red brackets, indicating they are slated to be cut. The words\u00a0“under penalty of law” are\u00a0in red text, indicating that\u00a0Democrats propose to add that phrasing to the oath.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The draft rules also remove the phrase “his or\u00a0her” throughout the document, changing those two pronouns to “their.”\u00a0The rules additionally modify\u00a0all references to the committee’s “Chairman” to instead refer only to the committee’s\u00a0“Chair.”<\/p>\n

Other rules changes relate to expanding the committee’s authority over natural gas in Alaska and fossil-fuel resources.<\/p>\n

While many federal oaths\u00a0include the phrase “so help me God,” some — most notably the presidential oath of office — do not.<\/p>\n

The full committee is set to vote on the new language\u00a0this week, and the rules would\u00a0take effect immediately if adopted. Other committees were still in the process of finalizing their rules on Monday.<\/p>\n

Republican leaders reacted with dismay to the proposed change, and suggested it was a sign of the Democratic Party’s leftward shift.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is incredible, but not surprising, that the Democrats would try to remove God from committee proceedings in one of their first acts in the majority,”\u00a0House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz\u00a0Cheney, R-Wyo., told Fox News.\u00a0“They really have become the party of Karl Marx.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spokespeople for the Natural Resources Committee did not immediately reply to Fox News’ requests for comment. The committee, which has oversight of national parks, wildlife\u00a0and energy,\u00a0is chaired by Democratic Arizona Rep.\u00a0Raul Grijalva.<\/p>\n

The proposed change\u00a0was not the first time Democrats have sought to strike references to God\u00a0in official party documents. In 2012, the floor of the Democratic National Convention erupted<\/a> over a sudden move to restore to the platform a reference to God\u00a0and recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital — after heavy criticism from Republicans for initially omitting them. Democrats, though, were hardly in agreement over the reversal.<\/p>\n

A large and loud group of delegates shouted “no” as the convention chairman (then-Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa) called for the vote.\u00a0Villaraigosa had to call for the vote three times before ruling that the “ayes” had it. Many in the crowd booed after he determined the language would be restored.<\/p>\n

The battle marked the biggest platform fight in either party’s convention, and signaled Democrats were worried the prior language could have been politically damaging in a tight election year.<\/p>\n

A senior campaign official told Fox News at the time that then-President Barack Obama personally intervened to change the language in both cases. On the God\u00a0reference, the official said the president’s response was, “Why did it change in the first place?”<\/p>\n

The House panel’s proposed change comes as far-left progressive Democratic freshman in Congress, including Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Minnesota\u00a0Ilhan Omar, have come under fire from Republicans for pushing what they call radical and unfounded religious-based attacks.<\/p>\n

Omar, for example,\u00a0wrote in 2012\u00a0that “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.” Tlaib was accused of engaging in an anti-Semitic slur earlier this month by suggesting Republican politicians were truly loyal to Israel, not the United States.<\/p>\n

Omar and Tlaib made history by becoming the first-ever Muslim women in Congress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
