Why a Real 'Year of the Bible' Would Horrify Its Sponsors -- Politics Daily: "So a little-known congressman, Paul Broun, is making a big ruckus by introducing a resolution calling on President Obama to designate a 'National Year of the Bible' for America. Broun is a Republican (natch) from Georgia (of course) so none of this should be a surprise, right? Just another Christian fundamentalist, cynics might say, trying to turn us into a nation of Bible thumpers. The reaction has been equally predictable: Those irreligious Democrats have shunned Broun's proposal like swine flu. Jewish pols, in particular, see a distinctly Christian slant to the resolution, and secularists see yet another plot to turn the United States into a theocracy."
