Priorities
What are the biggest problems facing America? Unemployment? Climate change? The deficit? Immigration reform?
Our own Virginia Republican Rep. Randy Forbes has now successfully achieved his top legislative priority: re-affirming that “In God We Trust” is the national motto.
That may seem redundant, an unnecessary waste of time, even silly — Congress rectified the apparent omission of our Founding Fathers by making it the official national motto in 1956, and they even re-affirmed it previously in 2002. However, Rep. Forbes felt it was essential to make absolutely sure that it is still the motto today.
But what about next year? Rep. Forbes may need to bring his bill up for a vote frequently to make sure it remains the motto in the future.
But wait! Rep. Forbes sponsored a “non-binding resolution.” If this truly is a Christian nation, as Rep. Forbes asserts, shouldn’t that resolution be binding?
