                  USE OF RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY INTOLERABLE

  (Mr. WALKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, the use of religious bigotry as a campaign 
strategy is completely intolerable. And yet that appears to be where 
the Democrats are headed. Let us understand their position.
  Democrats are prepared to tolerate those who call for condoms to be 
distributed to 9-year-olds, but are intolerant toward middle-class 
Americans who attend church and synagogue regularly and put their faith 
to work in public policy decisions.
  Democrats are prepared to tolerate those who dodge the draft rather 
than serve their country, but are intolerant toward middle-class 
Americans who attend church and synagogue regularly and put their faith 
to work in public policy decisions.
  Democrats are prepared to tolerate those who would spend future 
generations into bankruptcy, but are intolerant toward middle-class 
Americans who attend church and synagogue regularly and put their faith 
to work in public policy decisions.
  Democrats are prepared to tolerate those who corrupt the most basic 
institutions of democracy, but are intolerant toward middle-class 
Americans who attend church and synagogue regularly and put their faith 
to work in public policy decisions.
  Democrats are prepared to tolerate those who would redefine basic 
values such as family and individual responsibility, but are intolerant 
toward middle-class Americans who attend church and synagogue regularly 
and put their faith to work in public policy decisions.
  Bigotry, including religious bigotry, is an ugly thing. The 
Democrats' use of bigotry as a political tool is as ugly as it gets.
