Poor Sikhs always catching strays...
Also, yo, I kind of hate this country.
“America was founded as a christian country”
You mean back when Christian people were so rabid that they thought of Catholics, the OG jesus folks, the way this lady sees any non-christian religion?
Maryland was created as the birthplace of religious freedom in this country specifically because catholics had nowhere else to go in the colonies without getting harassed. Ultimately, the concept of religious freedom would be elevated to a higher place of importance than christian snobbery by the time America was forming a country. Religious freedom was part of escaping the thumb of the King of England and other monarchs.
So, on the one hand, Miller is truly going old school by being a bigoted fuckhead. But on the other, she seems to have no idea that “America” would not exist if people hadnt been willing to tell the bigoted majority of protestants to shut the fuck up, and force them to live and let live
This lady won with 73% of the vote in 2020, 71% in 2022, and unopposed in 2024. She is exactly what the people in that area want and that's sad. The US is like social media. It's not the platform it's the users that make it garbage.
But the platform promotes garbage, too.
But social media are garbage because of the platform. It's just built the way to present it as how the users are.
It's like saying that gasoline is not the cracking process, it's the oil.
These racist politician assholes should never ever be allowed to represent us in government.
Apparently she's exactly who her constituents want representing them. Take it up with those arseholes.
It’s deeply troubling that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives this morning. This should have never been allowed to happen
I believe our government should reflect that truth.
She's right: leading prayer in Congress at all should never be allowed. Government should reflect the truth of a secular government.
Yes. Government should be led by law not theology.
It was founded as a secular nation you dumb cunt.
Pepperidge farms remembers when bigots were shamed away from talking not their target minorities.
Dumbfuck can't even get her religions straight, and apparently she thinks America was founded to be a Christian theocracy. Astoundingly ignorant and misinformed, yet there she sits Congress, governing the nation with her 2 brain cells.
She probably has no idea what Deism is.
I was going to make a “DEIsm is woke, DEIsm is getting abolished, etc” joke… But it’s impossible to create a parody so extreme that some users won’t mistake it for the genuine thing. Poe’s Law is in full effect here.
The people would likely think its a cult worshiping Dhalsim from Street Fighter 2.
And thus call for all Deists to be deported.
Her average constituent sees turban and thinks Muslim.
She represents her district in more ways than one.
American was founded as a Christian nation
-- Every American Christian Bigot
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
-- First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States
🤔
Don't forget:
The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.
-- John Adams
“As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion, as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religious or tranquility of Musselmen [Muslim peoples], and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan [Muslim] nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.” - Treaty of Tripoli, signed 1797.
Thomas Jefferson had his own personally edited version of the Bible that focused on the philosophies and stories in the Bible, and left out the supernatural mythology and fairy tales. There were parts of the religion he liked, but he was clearly uncomfortable with the actual religious parts of it.
And he actually WROTE the founding documents.
TJ was Deist, not Christian.
Honestly who could say what they meant by that, it's such an open to interpretation remark.
Good thing we know exactly what they meant in the second amendment.
Yes but they're going to go extinct if we cut off their arms.
Those poor bears

It literally says "Congress," of which she is a member.
Every newly elected Congressional Rep and Senator should have to pass a difficult, graduate-level test on the history of the United States, and the Constitution, before being sworn into office. You can't be sworn in until you pass the test. These people are tasked with leading our country. Knowing the basics is the least we can demand of them.
And they won't be paid until they pass either.
Why the FUCK would I Care about the Constitution or Founders?
-Pro Life People who Defend MASS CHILD KILLERS because of the Second Amendment!
Well you see, the thing about conservatives is that they are fucking stupid.
Well you see, the thing about conservatives is that they are fucking ~~stupid~~ self-serving liars.
FTFY
This bitch knows damn well America isn't a "Christian nation," but she'll shout it from the rooftops if she thinks she can get away with it in order to advance her hateful, bigoted agenda.
Do. Not. Give. Her. Any. Benefit. Of. The. Doubt.
Well you see, the thing about conservatives is that they are fucking ~~stupid self-serving liars~~ evil.
Fixed it for you. Some of the old school Republicans are that, true. But, this new Republican party adopted their sinister mindset because "god said so". While a few of them are motivated by greed, this shit-fest is motivated by legitimate belief. Incidentally, this is the same minset that motivated the crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem witch trials, 9/11, and ISIS. Its a fundamentalist mindset where they can jusify evil in god's name.
This bitch knows damn well America isn’t a “Christian nation,”
Maybe, or maybe she actually believes the lie. Or, maybe, she thinks it her mission to turn the United States into the holy land (ISIS thought the same thing about the middle east, and probably the world).
she’ll shout it from the rooftops if she thinks she can get away with it in order to advance her hateful, bigoted agenda.
Yep. She's a true believer.
To be fair i feel the same way about any non-buddhist(or other peaceful) religion speaking.
Why does the House of Representatives even have prayer in the mornings to begin with?
I would like to know the actual answer to this. When did it start? Has it been there from the beginning?

Yet another Sikh man misidentified as a Muslim (not that it would matter if they were) by some backwood dumb fuck using weaponized religion.
Surprise twist: He redirected all your Christian prayers to Waheguru and you're all now an additional cycle away from Mukti.
Chicagoan here. Like I always say, the souther you go the Kentuckier you get. And this is just central IL. Fuck her bitch face.
That bitch is from Naperville.

Mary Miller represents district 15 which surrounds but does not include both Springfield and St. Louis. It is 90% white, 2.9% black, and 2.8% Hispanic. There are basically no non-Republican elected officials above the county level and voted overwhelmingly for Trump. This district became home of the second resurgence of the KKK in Illinois in the 1920s and has stayed their home through resurgences in the 1950s and 1990s.
Illinois redistricted recently and it was gerrymandered to fuck to make sure that her district was absolutely backwoods conservative as possible. It practically ensures Illinois will swing blue for the next decade. She's unfortunately my representative, but I'll live with that reality knowing that my existence as her constituent pisses her off and Illinois stays blue.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
