House Resolution 183

Eli,

Your letter to your congress-women was moving and it is tragic anyone ever has to write this kind of letter to any congress person.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong resolution they finally voted on. This is what I found: H.RES 183

Here's the first sentence:

Condemning anti-Semitism as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values and aspirations that define the people of the United States and condemning anti-Muslim discrimination and bigotry against minorities as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contrary to the values and aspirations of the United States.

It goes on to condemn bigotry of all sorts, including the Dreyfus Affair, so we can check that one off of the atrocities we are against.

It just strikes me as odd that no where does it condemn the multiple specific anti-semitic statements from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mn). And she's still on the Foreign Affairs Committee. (And Ralph Northam is still governor of VA and Keith Ellison is still AG of Minnesota).

We've had this argument before: Both parties have their cretins they are at times unwilling to evict because of power considerations. I guess that makes all of us, in your word, complicit.

Bill
