You know neither I nor anyone here takes orders from you, you pathetic little whiner. I remember I used to have you on ignore till I learned you'd been banned for posting a threatening post to me. Too bad I never saw it. After that I took you off ignore so I could be aware of any other fake threats.

The current members of Congress who joined Sen. Jesse Helms in voting against the holiday are all Republicans, although one was a Democrat at the time and later switched parties. They are: Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA). current Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) — who was a member of the House, and was then a Democrat, when he voted against the holiday — and Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY).

Asked “Do you think that Martin Luther King’s birthday should be a Federal Holiday?”, only 41 percent of Republicans said “yes,” MLK Day should be a federal holiday, with the remaining 59 percent either against it (36%) or not sure (23%).

That’s less Republican support than an October, 1983 poll that found 48 percent of Republicans at the time favored establishing the law. Forty-two percent of Republicans were opposed, while 10 percent were “not sure.”

Twitter Torches Virginia Republican’s Bill to Ban Critical Race Theory That Incorrectly Cited U.S. History
By Alex GriffingJan 14th, 2022

The language in a Virginia bill submitted by freshman state Rep. Wren Williams (R-VA) aiming to ban Critical Race Theory in Virginia’s K-12 public schools went viral this week as critics noted it incorrectly cited American History.

Do you hope that a future President Trumplethinskin will ban the MLK holiday or are you too chicken to say so?
