DeMint: Capitol Visitor Center Fails to Honor Faith

[Are_grits_groceries]

Delete Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) from the list of admirers of the new Capitol Visitor Center.

DeMint issued a statement Tuesday criticizing the new facility for "omitting the history of faith." DeMint noted that the new tourist spot ignored his request to include the phrase "In God We Trust" and the Pledge of Allegiance.

DeMint said the center, which opened Tuesday, also has displays that are "left-leaning and in some cases distort our true history."

Go to a church some time. Leave government buildings built with my tax dollars out of it.

10. Jim DimWit, the junior Senator from my state. The senior Senator is Lindsey Graham.

They love to pander to their upstate Fundy base, especially the Bo-Jos (Bob Jones "University"). What, I wonder, do South Carolinians find so attractive about stupidity?

11. Is there NOWHERE in this country where Christians can feel welcome?

Except the churches which are almost a block apart in every community in America?

17. His name suits him!

What 'left-leaning displays' does the Capitol Visitor Center have? The Bill of Rights? Democratic presidents as well as Republican ones? Pictures too close to each other on the wall showing people of different ethnic groups?
