Trump can take the criticism, Christians are persecuted.

I"d suggest that GeronL, Victoria33 and ChosenDaughter develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and find a good church.

@TomSea, that's way out of line.

That is it. Don't presume to speak for me. Your fanaticism is EXACTLY what led to the rise of Naziism.

Not presuming to speak for anyone else, @bigheadfred.

I'm not going to stand for a real fanatic in here comparing our GOP President to Hitler.   Not gonna happen or I'll be right up your a$$ with my boot.

Okay....that's makes perfect sense to me.  Sorry about that.

But...enough of the Hitler conflating with Trump.

I have not read the proclamation but if there is no reference to Trump, I don't have an issue with it.

That said, things such as this bear watching. Among the multitude of reasons I disdained Obama was his King-sized ego combined with an absence of humility.

Agreed on both counts.   :beer:

Trump declares National Day of Patriotic Devotion...but you already missed it
Christine Wang
16 Hours Ago
CNBC.com


President Donald Trump has unveiled the date for his national day of patriotism... but it has already passed.

According to a document published by the office of the Federal Register, the 45th president of the United States proclaimed Jan. 20, 2017 — Trump's Inauguration Day — to be a National Day of Patriotic Devotion. Trump made the proclamation "in order to strengthen our bonds to each other and to our country — and to renew the duties of Government to the people."

"A new national pride stirs the American soul and inspires the American heart. We are one people, united by a common destiny and a shared purpose," the proclamation said.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer first revealed the move last week in one of his first tweets from the official press secretary account.

Often, presidential proclamations of days of observance are made in advance so that people can make plans for how they want to recognize the day, whether it's through service or a moment of silence. Trump's instead designated a day that has already passed.

Presidents can declare a one-time holiday through executive order, but Congress holds the power to create annual federal holidays. In 2004, for example, George W. Bush issued an executive order for a national day of mourning following Ronald Reagan's death, shutting down the federal government for a day.

Trump's National Day of Patriotic Devotion shouldn't be confused with previous presidential proclamations with similar names.

In 2002, Bush proclaimed September 11 as Patriot Day. He first declared the day in 2001 as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001.

In 2014, Barack Obama also proclaimed it as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance.

Bush and Obama's presidential proclamations made September 11 a national observance, but not a federal holiday.

There are also similarly named state holidays, which were declared in honor of different historical events. In Maine, Patriot's Day falls on the third Monday in April. In Massachusetts, Patriots' Day is observed on April 19.

Thanks @mountaineer  for posting that.

So That's what all this hand wringing and consternation and fighting is about?

Looks like a huge nothing burger to me. A stupid ill conceived proclamation at most.
I think I'll read a Quix Thread about Martians being behind the JFK assassination.

I don't think a priest at my Catholic church, whom I help with his English every Tuesday, including this afternoon, would agree with that statement.    :amen:

To get us back on track, this is not unusual. Obama did the same thing. He declared his first inaugural day the 'National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation'.

And, as I recall, our side threw an absolute fit as it was claimed Obama was basically making a holiday to himself. Comparing Obama to third world dictators and such who make holidays to themselves.  Example:

If it wasn't so offensive, that line about you, @Victoria33, would be pretty hilarious. 

I can vouch for @Victoria33's personal witness to others in need.

Christians are most often persecuted by people who worship government. You can find real persecution in places like Russia where Putin has banned the sharing of the faith outside of the walls of a church, even from talking about it at home.

But he sure does like to boast about those Russian prostitutes.

I thought we already had a national day of patriotic devotion or two: called Independence Day,
or the Fourth of July if one prefers; and, Memorial Day.

populate news forums, have to know the Constitution in order to honour it? ;)
