If there is one thing I can say about the current GOP is that they are very brazen. :ey


Kansas Speaker of the House Mike O'Neal has urged his fellow Kansas House Republicans to pray for President Barack Obama's death.

He forwarded an email to his Kansas House GOP colleagues that asked them to pray Psalm 109. Psalm 109 contains the following lines:

When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

The email included a personal message from O'Neal that read:

At last — I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!

Remember when Republicans were all up in arms about respect for the office of the President? You know, just over four years ago. No? Don't remember? Funny how time flies. In the meantime, secret service, you're needed in Kansas, there seems to be some light treason going on in the legislature.

The Rev. Tobias Schlingensiepen and the Rev. Jim McCullough delivered more than 30,000 signatures Thursday that were collected with the help of online faith-based activist group, Faithful America, condemning O'Neal's "egregious use of Christian Scripture to pray for President Obama's death."

O'Neal has apologized for the email, but said he will not resign. O'Neal had previously apologized for another email he forwarded to some legislators that called Michelle Obama "Mrs. YoMama" and made fun of her hair, according to the Kansas City Star.

....................


"Speaker O'Neal's behavior is an affront to the Christian faith and unworthy of his office," said Schlingensiepen, senior minister of First Congregational Church in Topeka. "It's unpatriotic and offensive for an elected representative to wish harm upon the President of the United States. His refusal to show remorse shows that it's time for him to resign, and to reflect upon the true foundations of his faith."

Faithful America's petition reads: "As people of faith, we believe that scripture should never be used to justify praying for the death of anyone. Speaker O'Neal's hateful abuse of scripture is unacceptable and a disgrace to his office, and he should immediately resign."

Sherrard added, "As a Bible-believing Christian, Speaker O'Neal has certainly opened his Bible and read this psalm, so he must know it's clearly about the death of a political leader."

From the OP: When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

And guess who's doing the praying?

What happened to pro life?

And, they'll be happier with the even more liberal Biden in office? Is it a race thing?

Nothing will make them happy. The natural state of rightwingers is to be in a constant state of agonized agitation. If they accomplish one goal, it's not enough especially since they have this sneaky suspicion that they only got it through the conivance of a liberal.
