U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, congressional time-waster

During time of war, high unemployment and weakening of America’s global position, congressman worries about Pledge of Allegiance recited in Spanish

U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, R-IrrationalFearVille, spends his time drafting bills about the country’s pressing issues.

Via the AJC:

- U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, a conservative Republican from Athens, filed a bill that would cut public funding of schools that allow children to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in any language except English. Another Broun bill would designate 2010 as the National Year of the Bible. Yet another would prohibit honor guards at veterans’ funerals unless they’re allowed to offer the option of a religious-based recitation during the folding of the American flag.

Broun called in to Glenn Beck’s radio show this morning. The congressman said he “praises God” for the host’s service and his efforts to warn Americans about “steamrollin’ socialism.”

This is why Georgians can’t have nice things.
