A National Year Of Humiliation

U.S. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who sits in Congress as a representative of the 5th district in the state of Washington has introduced H. Res. 874, a congressional resolution that would provide official federal government support to the designation of a National Year of Humiliation.

The National Year of Humiliation resolution would, if passed, create an official year-long government-endorsed Christian ritual in which Americans would gather to humiliate themselves over and over again in order to demonstrate obedience to the Christian god.

The resolution states that Americans "are a self-consumed, prideful, and unloving people".

Yes, it sounds like a joke, but it isn't. It's Christian Nationalism at its most bizarre.

At present, the congressional resolution to create a year-long ritualistic Christian Nationalist humiliation of America has 15 cosponsors in the US House of Representatives. They are:

Vicky Hartzler – Missouri

Mariannette Miller-Meeks – Iowa

John Joyce – Pennsylvania

Larry Bucshon – Indiana

Markwayne Mullin – Oklahoma

David McKinley – West Virginia

Louie Gohmert – Texas

Yvette Herrell – New Mexico

Diana Harshbarger – Tennessee

Bill Johnson – Ohio

Adrian Smith – Nebraska

Brian Babin – Texas

John Moolenaar – Michigan

Debbie Lesko – Arizona

Virginia Foxx – North Carolina

I'm embarrassed to admit I am familiar with Miller-Meeks from Iowa. She is a nutcase that represents a rural Iowa district full of hicks and ignorant idiots, so that is how she gets elected over and over.

Don't be embarrassed that you're politically aware, be proud that you know enough to know that Miller-Meeks is a nutcase.

Their humiliation won't end after a year.

They deserve every bit possible for betraying us and betraying themselves. And it will never, ever end.
Nor should it.

So many questions! Will it be televised? Will this happen in front of a live audience, and where can I get tickets? Most importantly, can I contribute to this worthy effort by actively adding my own efforts to humiliate them?

These Christian militants miss the point again as their religion calls for humility, not humiliation! Attention should be focused on the district that elected Ms. Rogers and those who have signed on to this fascist legislation, not just the representatives themselves.

I'd nuance this comment by saying that SOME forms of Christianity call for humility, and OTHER forms of Christianity call for outright humiliation. Christianity is not a single thing. Christian Nationalism definitely calls for humiliation of non-Christians, non-Europeans, non-males, non-Americans...

@CliffordCook That may be, but humiliating others or even oneself is not called for in the New Testament and therefore not actually a Christian value.
