I get really tired of hearing "family values".

Take care of your own family, and don't force your views/laws on mine.

that's just the rules committee, they replaced two, remember, and I guess that shook some of the others into line...

Especially when it comes from people who continuously get caught cheating on their own spouses. Enough already.

Israel is our strongest ally, so strong in fact they are also our biggest spy threat.

 

[Nate1604]

Wouldn't you need it if you knew you had sold your soul and had to get up and give a speech in support of the beast?

Good point...

So has the opening convocation/prayer ever been done by a Catholic Priest in Latin? Just curious.

It took what, 8 minutes from opening gavel to the first mention of israel?

It's ok, it was in Hebrew, the official language of the GOP.

To clarify these vague comments, the opening prayer was given by a Rabbi, partially in Hebrew. No other religions were represented.

You know what I hate the most? People saying that "God is guiding us" or that God is doing something with our country or any country. It in itself contradicts what the bible says. It says that God has given all humans their own free will, meaning that he will not have will over us or exert his will in any way over us. So how can we have a free will yet God is blessing our country all the time etc?

I'M NOT GETTING ANY WORK DONE!!!!!!!

Most energetic speech so far was by Mark Meadows, who is running for Congress (NC-11). Summary: free market prosperity, pro-life, pro-religion, unflinching support for Israel, God reigns over nations, God bless America.

(Up till that point at least. He wasn't sedate.)
