Absolutely I would mind But The House rules are not dependent on whether I mind or not Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

sure It will insure they lose their seat. I would love a racist or gang supporter show their true colors and lose their seat next election We need more honesty in congress If you are an extremist, let the voters know :-) Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I would prefer they leave all that religious crap where it belongs, at home or when they are off duty. I don't believe any of them can "serve two masters" and if they are going to stand on the house floor, flaunting some sign that they believe in invisible, mythological super powered beings, they have absolutely no business voting on the direction of the Republic. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

I would prefer that too, but my respect for freedom of speech trumps that. As to wearing Confederate flags as hats or MS-13 (did you know the MS stands for my name?) garb, I say as long as they claim it is for religious reasons, go ahead. They will only be hurting their own party with extremist views. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Freedom of speech does not trump Rules of Order in a chamber. You have to follow the rules of order or you have no order. She needs to be told a rule for one is a rule for all and leave her cover in her office. Why are muslims always given special treatment? The President is a fink. |

I agree that everybody should be subject to the same rules. There should be no exceptions for certain religions. That is a major emphasis of my own religion, Pastafarianism. I personally don't really care what the rule actually is, just as long as it does not respect certain religions over others. p.s. Where is EB? He is a consistent bigot vote in every poll.

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | I hope they change it. But really, who cares. It was originally done as a slight against the Jews. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
