Thank Goodness

Rest easy America. Have no fear. Sleep soundly, snore loudly, all is well. The honorable, proud, courageous members of our very own United States Senate are here to keep us secure. Ever vigilant, with their finely honed senses attuned to detecting even the smallest danger, their supreme mission is to protect the country. Stay out of their way – they are determined to eliminate all threats to the republic.

The Senate approved a resolution late Monday evening stating that the national anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, the oath recited by immigrants when they are sworn in as citizens and other songs or statements symbolizing national unity should be spoken or sung in English.

"At the opening of the Senate each day, or at a football game, or at a Boy or Girl Scout meeting, we are free to sing or say our national symbols in any language we please, but we ought to sing and say them in our common language, English," said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.

Makes one proud to be an American – doesn't it?
