“The House Committee of Natural Resources are pushing for the shake up in a new rules package expected to be approved this week, according to Fox News. “The change would mean witnesses only have to recite: ' I do solemnly swear that the testimony I am about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.’ “The House Committee of Natural Resources, chaired by Raul Grijalva, proposed removing 'so you help you God' from the oath taken in front of the panel. “Previously, those giving evidence would have to utter the words 'so help me God' - but now Democrats propose putting 'under the penalty of law' in its place.”Funny how the entire oath never seemed to work when taken by failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton or former FBI boss James Comey, proof positive that not everyone swearing to tell the truth always tells the truth.
“The committee has also proposed removing the phrase 'his or her' throughout the oath and instead using ‘their'. (Daily Mail) “It's also seeking to swap 'Chairman' to 'Chair' to make the word gender-neutral. “The full committee will vote on the changes this week, and modifications will come into effect immediately if approved.” “Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney said the Democrats have 'become the party of Karl Marx’. “Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney told Fox News: 'It is incredible, but not surprising, that the Democrats would try to remove God from committee proceedings in one of their first acts in the majority. “'They really have become the party of Karl Marx.’”Truth is, the Democrats, by and large, were already sworn to the party of Karl Marx before they were sworn in to public office, Ms. Cheney. And the reality is that removing the words “So help me God” from the oath will mean little for political pooh-bahs who have recited them all along without ever meaning them. The anti-American, Fundamental Transformation of America believing Democrats are against all things American, So Help us, God.
