So are you saying that Christmas shouldn't be a Federal Holiday? I bet you have no problem with that do ya? Most don't, even when they say they want 'seperation'.
But to answer your questions...

Saying that Christianity is a good religion, and that Ramadan is a special period of time, is no where even CLOSE to saying that we have to follow either, worship in a certain way, belong to a certain denomination. The first amendment was created to protect the citizens of this nation from a national church.

The point of the thread.. ONCE again is...... "why did they vote AGAINST a christian resolution and NOT the islamic one?"

What is the deal with people on this site and their inability to grasp such simple concepts.

I don't care if it influences your view on it. I would have voted NO for all of them. Its just a freaking shame that some vote against it such as McDermott... because of, in his own words, 'as a protest against Bush for vetoeing the S-Chip plan". Are you kidding me?? You vote for Islamic honoring... but vote against Christmas honoring?? Although he gladly takes the day/time period off.. WITH pay.... and all because of an insurance program?????????

This is ridiculous and if you continue to disagree... its obvious that you're only 'sticking to your guns'... or don't get the point, yet again.. which wouldn't be surprising. :Thumbs:

Why dont you write a letter to each congress member who voted and get your answers.
It's not that I dont "get the point", and im not "sticking to my guns", I just really dont care, and I dont see why other people are in such an uproar. It doesnt matter to me if people vote to honor christmas, or not, I believe in god, I believe he sent his son to die for my sins, and i will celebrate christmas, and it doesnt matter if a congress member voted to honor ramadan over christmas. This is all just another BS propaganda twist from fox on thier phony "war on christmas". This is a perfect example

"The Republican lawmaker told Fox News Wednesday that he was motivated to push the resolution to honor the real reason behind Christmas and because of liberal activists and "secularists in the country who are trying to eradicate Christ from Christmas.”

You mentioned that 9 people voted against the resolution, but you failed to mention that the resolution passed by a vote of 372-9, you also failed to mention that 40 people did not vote on this bill. Why arent you up in arms about the 40 people who didnt vote? Isnt not voting just as bad as saying "No". If they supported this they should have voted right? Who cares why those 9 voted the way they did? you should be happy the 372 people voted yes to the resolution. The whole reason I responded to your post was because you said it was a "Sad day in america". This is by no strech a sad day in america.
