I'll admit I didn't know anything about Sally Yates before she was fired, but god drat she is awesome. Smart, competent and clearly follows a strong code of ethics. I hope she runs for office.

KickerOfMice posted:Is there a morning Christian prayer in the House? I'm an American citizen, and you have got to be loving kidding. please? There's always a prayer, which is almost always a Christian one, though they're usually fairly non-denominational, and there are the occasional Jewish ones and even more occasional Islamic ones, under the Guest Chaplain Program which allows Representatives to sponsor faith leaders to give the morning prayer. (No points for guessing which Representative sponsored the Imam, though his prayer is pretty great actually, despite the introduction having to explain to everyone what an "imam" is and the prayer including like a paragraph on how religious freedom is cool, put away your torches.) This follows a tradition established in the UK House of Commons, whose daily business also always begins with a prayer, though theirs is always Christian as far as I'm aware-- comes from having a state church. Canada's House of Commons has one too, though it's always the same one: quote:Almighty God, we give thanks for the great blessings which have been bestowed on Canada and its citizens, including the gifts of freedom, opportunity and peace that we enjoy. We pray for our Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth, and the Governor General. Guide us in our deliberations as Members of Parliament, and strengthen us in our awareness of our duties and responsibilities as Members. Grant us wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to preserve the blessings of this country for the benefit of all and to make good laws and wise decisions. Amen. KickerOfMice posted:
This is very standard Evangelical Christian prayer-speak, to be honest.

America has been religious as gently caress since the get go. Good guess with the pledge and all though.

At any rate, the chaplain thing was as I said more of a holdover from their copy-paste of the Westminster system than some sort of expression of the religiosity of America, specifically.

It's just far less than fun, especially with young republicans - some are genuine psychopaths, but most aren't evil people, they just suck at being empathetic. It's fascinating and honestly inspires sympathy in me, to see them in such a disarmed state.
