Zell Miller and some real doozies of legislation

The other day, Sen. Zell Miller, the Right's favorite Democrat, gave a compelling speech in which he lamented the "deficit of decency" in America and pondered ways by which we might regain our moral bearings.

During the speech he noted the many attacks on morality by the "Culture of Far Left America" and an out-of-control federal judiciary, remarking that it's happening in a number of areas "whether it is removing a display of the Ten Commandments from a Courthouse or the Nativity Scene from a city square" or "eliminating prayer in schools or eliminating 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance" or "making a mockery of the sacred institution of marriage between a man and woman or, yes, telecasting around the world made-in-the-USA filth masquerading as entertainment."

Miller emphasized the need for elected officials to do something to address it pointedly saying:

The desire and will of this Congress to meaningfully do anything about any of these so-called social issues is non existent and embarrassingly disgraceful. The American people are waiting and growing impatient with us. They want something done.
So what is Miller doing in his last year as a Senator? One tack he has taken is to sponsor legislation to put the U.S. back on the right track. Here are three important bills he mentioned and to which conservatives ought to give their attention.
Federal Marriage Constitutional Amendment

The amendment (S.J.Res. 26), one which many conservatives believe does not go far enough because it does not prohibit civil unions, would add the following to the Constitution:

Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, not the Constitution of any State, not State or Federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents there of be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups.
The Religious Liberties Restoration Act
This bill (S. 1558) will reserve to the States (a) the power to display the Ten Commandments on or within State property; (b) the power to recite the Pledge of Allegiance on or within State property (noting that the official Pledge will remain as it currently reads, including those two words that have been such anathema to the Left -- "under God"); and (c) the power to recite the national motto -- "In God we trust" -- on or within State property.

2. Hi, Zell Miller 1950 is calling. It wants its ideas back.

We derided the Taliban as being a "theocracy" but, we don't mind a few "faith based initiatives" in our government apparently. I thought we were seeding democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan but, apparently Zell sees it as an exchange of ideas going both ways.

Can someone please buy Mr. Miller a text book that describes why settlers moved here from Europe. Hint: religious freedoms

3. Isn't there some way we can kick this fuck head out...

...of the party? He needs to join his republican toads on the other side of the aisle and stop embarrassing us.

5. I agree wholeheartedly. He is a superdelegate in the party.

How the fuck can the party allow this asshole to be a delegate at our national convention when he has already thrown his support to the boy blunder?

6. Ack!
