It's not like we really needed any descriptive reason as to why Republicans thought it important to hold a vote on a nonbinding resolution supposedly reaffirming America's motto as "In God We Trust." We all know why Republicans did this when there are many more pressing things Congress should be doing. They did it to appease their lunatic Christian base and to once again try to paint themselves as being the party of God and the true bearers of God's plan for America.
The leader of the "Prayer Caucus," Tom Price (R-GA), says it was also to remind the president just what the motto is. Nothing at all to do with furthering the Godless Muslim conspiracy. Just a simple reminder. Wheee!
Wonder why the Republican-controlled house never sought to remind George Bush that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11? That's way more important than Obama sort of mistakenly saying our motto is E pluribus unum. If they're so imperative about people getting facts straight, that was an ample opportunity to remind a president of a very costly error.
