Rep. King (R) slams Sabbath vote
By Eric Zimmermann - 03/18/10 01:56 PM ET


Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) isn't happy that the House may vote for healthcare reform on Sunday.

Speaking on the Glenn Beck show, King said a vote on the Sabbath was sacreligious.

"They intend to vote on the Sabbath, during Lent, to take away the liberty that we have right from God," he said.

Beck agreed.

"Here is a group of people that have so perverted our faith and our hope and our charity, that is a — this is an affront to God," Beck said.

"But I think it’s absolutely appropriate that these people are trying to put the nail in the coffin on our country on a Sunday — something our founders would have never, ever, ever done. Out of respect for God," Beck added.

1. Good. Stay home and pray. n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

24. +1000. nt

[damntexdem]

26. That's right, Rep. King, don't break the Sabbath.

Don't work on Sunday -- stay away from Congress that day.

LOL!

[HopeHoops]

2. The only "god" Beck worships has horns, a tail, and carries a pitchfork.

Asshole.

[WCGreen]

10. I think he worship Mammen...

[dchill]

11. "...carries a pitchfork..."

and a HUGH bag of GOLD!

[HopeHoops]

13. And that little contract with a Newscorp logo.

[Rage Inc.]

32. Beat me to it!

:evilgrin:

[rox63]

3. Anyone want to check on how many previous votes have happened on Sundays?

Damn, they are getting s-o-o-o-o desperate.

[LiberalFighter]

15. Betcha a bunch of them probably happened during WWI and WWII

[Joanne98]

4. BWHAHAHAHAHA!

This is going to be soooooo much FUN!

[hatrack]

5. Ask them if they turn on lights, kindle fire or prune trees on the Sabbath

nt

[Dappleganger]

6. +10000

[RKP5637]

7. I'm so fed up with this god crap in this country. n/t

[muffin1]

14. +1,000,000,000,000.

It's probably the cause of 90% of our problems in this country.

And I love the way they trot out religion when it suits them. AND, from what I understand, Jesus would have been against helping the rich instead of the poor, the death penalty, wars, destroying the environment, and hating gay people and other minorities.

:mad:

[RKP5637]

21. "Oh, but god works in mysterious ways," isn't that ALWAYS their rationalization. They

always have some "off the wall" delusional answer... like they pass judgment on the entire universe. And feel ever so special... a special club of sorts, and ONLY they are right. Frankly religion in this country has become a form of mental illness IMO.

[sabra]

8. god rested on the seventh day (ie: Saturday)

so get to work! :-)

[tomg]

9. We got Trouble

Right here in River City.
That starts with T
and that Rhymes with B
and that stands for Pool,
( Sorry, I mean Barack.)

They are idiots.

[wryter2000]

12. Someone needs to collect all their idiotic arguments

If they were in one place, they'd be a wondrous thing to behold -- a veritable temple to dishonesty, hyprocrisy, and downright idiocy.

:crazy:

[RKP5637]

22. And someone needs to start collecting taxes on them. Tax Exempt = Pure BS! n/t

[stopbush]

16. Go fuck yerself, King.

What's more important to you as a House member? Passing laws or taking a day off because you believe in imaginary gods? Besides, Saturday is the day god took off, not Sunday. Asshole.

Respect for god. As if god deserves respect.

[muffin1]

18. +1

A term I've been hearing lately is 'sky wizard'.:rofl:

That one always gives me a chuckle!

[awoke_in_2003]

25. I prefer sky daddy...

brings in the authoritarianism that so many seem to enjoy.

[bulloney]

17. The Terry Schiavo vote occurred on PALM SUNDAY 2005, Mr. King.

Poor old "W" even had to shorten one of his many vacations to orchestrate that vote.

Only three senators were present for the "unanimous" vote, but the sabbath...a Lenten one at that...didn't seem to matter to them.

[tanyev]

35. Oh, good remembery.

[Sheepshank]

19. He ran for office

thinking he was guaranteed Sundays off? Freaking idiot and the idiots that voted him in!

[monmouth]

20. Remember the Jewish people, please. Saturday is their Sabbath

and with all due respect, god fearin' ceerishtans ain't the only religious people in this country. Let's consider the Jews this time around..

[stopbush]

30. As George Carlin said, "God gets Friday off from the Muslims, Saturday off from the Jews,

and Sunday off from the Xians. God has a 3-day weekend!"

[monmouth]

33. HA! I miss George, he'd have so much to say with recent events...n/t

[bridgit]

23. Rep. King's brain is an embarrassment, the point of its only product is to mock America

[chat_noir]

27. Beck and King want to reinstitute Blue Laws?

Good luck with that.

Tell them that our soldiers do not get Sundays off.

[emulatorloo]

28. Hey Steve! God told the Dems to vote on Sunday as a way to honor her.

EOM

[emulatorloo]

29. P.S. She's also pissed you missed your son's wedding to score petty political points n/t

[dkofos]

31. Where is John Lee Malvo when you really need him.

[Echo In Light]

34. Here's my "slam Sabbath vote;"

36. Anyone Who Believes In Invisible People Should Be Barred From Public Office

I'm sick of being ruled by dangerously irrational people who believe in talking snakes and hippies who walk on water.
