Democrats Change 181 Year-Old Rule To Allow Ilhan Omar To Wear Hijab In The House

[Dogmaphobe]

Now you assfucks can wear your KKK robes. Cheer up.

And you can shove your race baiting up your ass.

Even more name-calling.

My God, you don't get ANYTHING do you?


MY COMPLAINT WAS THAT LIBS USE NAME CALLING TO SUPPRESS DEBATE AND MARGINALIZE PEOPLE AND IDEAS.




Realdave did nothing there, but call me an asshole, so I basically did the same back.


THe only difference is that my comment was true, and he was spewing shit from his face anus.


EVERY TIME you do this, all you are doing is showing how dim you are.

Wow, a Trumpette complaining about name calling. You can get more ridiculous than that.

Errr, yeah, Welcome to the Bodecia's Club of Utter Lack of Comprehension.

Where is Valerie when we really need her, anyway?

Get real. Sharia law is not creeping in. Not one Sharia law trumps U.S. law.

As I already said this isn't a problem we need to worry about today. But in time, as Muslims gain more political power
in areas like Michigan and Minnesota, it may become a problem.
That's how the slippery slope is....incremental change until eventually you started with a chihuahua and wind up with a German Shepard.

The Constitution protects us from the nonsense you’re afraid of.

The Constitution you lefties consider an "living document". ie toilet paper.

Fascinating......having a deplorable trumpanzee call the Constitution "toilet paper"..........I would be lying if I said it surprised me.

My God, you really are desperate.


That was really, really sad.


Also, you are an asshole.

It's amusing to watch deplorable trumpanzees lose their minds over this.

This is an expression of religion! I guess it’s OK when it comes to iSLAM. We’re screwed as a nation. ******* ABNORMALS and worthless, spineless Repukes are taking us down the path of destruction!....Wherr are the SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE scumbags when they should be up in arms....but dont let a 66 year old cross stand on public property to memorialize our fallen war heros!

For 181 years, the U.S. House of Representatives has imposed a ban on its members wearing head coverings. With Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress, set to take her oath of office in January, that rule—which would have prohibited her wearing her customary headscarves or the hijab—is slated to change.

The change was proposed jointly by Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Incoming Rules Chairman Jim McGovern and member-elect Ilhan Omar as part of a larger overhaul package.

When Omar is sworn in next year, she will become the first federal legislator to wear a religious headscarf. Her arrival will mark a number of other “firsts” as well. The Minnesota Democrat will be the first Somali-American in Congress and the first woman of color to represent her state in Washington. She’ll be joined by fellow Midwestern Democrat, Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib, as the first two Muslim women in Congress.

Hats of any kind have been banned from the House floor since 1837.

I'm sorry, what the hell is that supposed to mean, "Your [sic] in the US deal with it"? Did the US stop being a country that respects freedom of religious expression? Because I feel sure someone would have sent me a memo.

This is more than respecting religious expression. This is giving way to a the newcomer. We don't get to define our community anymore.

This is NOT more than respecting religious expression. The House of Representatives is a specific community. You and I actually are not part of that community, but these two new Representatives are. They have every right to request a reasonable accommodation for their First Amendment rights, just as you and I would in communities of which we are a part.

It wasn't considered reasonable for 181 years, but now suddenly a newcomer asks and we change the rules for her.


LIke I said. We don't get to define our community anymore.


That's the point.

You know why it wasn't "considered reasonable" for 181 years? Because we didn't elect anyone who had religious requirements involving headwear in 181 years.

Like I said, WE are not part of THAT community. THEY are.

That's the point.

Haven't got a clue why you feel so threatened by this. The chambers of Congress change their operational rules all the time, on a variety of things, as it suits them. What is your major investment in "No one should ever wear a hat in the House! NEVER! Aaaaagh!!"?

Newcomers should expect to have to conform to the standards of the community they are joining.


THe other way around, is going to cause US great harm. Is already causing US great harm.

They DO have to conform to standards of the community they are joining. However, there is no world in which I would consider it reasonable to be expected to conform to the point of violating my religious beliefs, so I do not expect that from others.

And I'm sorry, but a frigging hat is doing no one any harm. You need to take a freaking breath and get a sense of perspective. The United States has always been about accommodating the personal freedoms of a variety of individuals, so long as it doesn't conflict with the rights of others. I'd be interested to have you tell me what conflict with the rights of others is involved regarded a woman's headwear. It's HER head, after all. What's it to you?

We have a secular government. If Ilhan Omar wants to express her religion let her do it in a mosque.
Roy Moore was removed from office merely for having a replica of the Ten Commandments in his office and this Omar business is precisely the sort of incremental Muslim creep people worry about.
She must conform to our principles (progressive leftists that espouse a secular government in any other context notwithstanding).
We shouldn't be yielding to hers. I assume Roy Moore is rightly pissed off about this all.

 

[elongobardi]

We haven't had a female Muslim elected in 181 years

So, that's all she has to offer in your mind? No surprise there.

It is asshole Republicans whining about a head scarf

Nothing to do with the head scarf. It’s changing rules to accommodate people of other cultures. No other country does it except us.

You say that as though it's a bad thing that we're doing something other countries don't, rather than a point of pride that we are more respectful of personal freedom than anyone else.

For someone who apparently spends a lot of time spouting about aggressive national pride, you don't seem to value the most important aspect of America.

Well maybe when you moron liberals stop attacking some of what you say American greatnesses. You guys talk out of the back of your heads. Leave the second amendment alone

These leftists have no actual principles. All they know is that they are required to support Islam.

They don't care whether or not they are the biggest hypocrites in the world regarding the separation of church and state. They attack Roy Moore with all the same fervor that they defend the Islamists.

If Roy Moore, your hero, wore a scarf with the Ten Commandments on it, would it have been a problem?

And yes, when it comes to Roy Moore, I have a thing against pedophiles..........don't you? Or is that another thing that today's American fundie "christian" supports?
