So, how did The Washington Post headline the appointment? “Trump picks former Georgia governor Sonny Perdue, who once led a prayer for rain, for agriculture secretary.”
Yes, that was their actual headline.
See also, Brad Trost at 11%, a not insignificant percentage of CPC members.
I’m pretty much agnostic at this point in my life, but I am really sick of this crap about Christians. our society is based on these values and those who do so much sneering have nothing to offer.
I can guarantee the post would find plenty of chances to mock islam if they looked…or dared.
But if you mocked a person with native ancestry who performed a rain dance, you’d be a bigot.
If it weren’t for double standards, etc.
Ok this is just an obvious troll bait for NME right?
Obama commuted the sentences of traitors, terrorists and drug dealers.
And the real problem here is some guy who prays for rain?
Sorry, Americans, but rot this deep cannot be fixed by Trump overnight or in the next decade.
What do you mean? NME666 doesn’t need there to be even a mention of religion in a thread before he rides that hobby-horse of his into it.
Trump very skillfully allowed the media morons to reveal themselves as morons. They will never forgive him.
Right now fro me ..brad Trost and or Maxime Bernier as he has reversed his stance on PROTECTIONIST union thugs cartels
I second that motion.
When the Marxist get enough control of society they begin their war against Christianity in earnest. North America is about at the stage Russia was under the Bolos in the early 1920s. It is pretty bad when it is considered a bad thing for a leader to pray for rain for parched crops for his or her constituents. No doubt sacrifices to Satan would be more acceptable to the WaPo.
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, prayers for good weather for crops have been part of the faith for a very long time. One of the most famous prayers is that of King Solomon at the dedication of the Temple: “When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place……..forgive the sin of they servants, and of thy people Israel…..and give rain upon thy land…” The tradition of prayer for seasonable weather, and for the blessing of God upon various endeavours (agricultural and fishing being fairly prominent) is shown in the prayers in my Book of Common Prayer. Needless to say, there are also thanksgivings to God for blessings received; indeed, Harvest Thanksgiving Sunday (when everyong brings the fruits of their garden to decorate the church) has been a staple of my life since childhood.
The WAPO is really just engaged in sleazy “advertising” to their readership. They are projecting their “hipness”, with mockery … Using “iconoclastic memes” … dumping on the “fundies”. Their clapping seal HATER constituents (disaffected LGBT-types) lap this stuff up as their only means of feeling “superior” to the dominant culture of America.
What they don’t yet realize is that they are making a mockery of themselves with their predictable, tired old, banal schtick. Like a morbidly overweight “feminist” stripping her top-off in a furtive effort “shock” and “upset the squares” … the WAPO uses the ‘ol “crazy, backward Christian meme” in an effort to smear the unassailable nominee. But it is so predictable and overplayed that nobody even notices. There’s no real outrage, by anyone. Christians don’t react to this tripe like the average Muzlim warrior for Allah. No fatwahs will be issued. Only the true HATERS on the left will giggle like 10yo schoolgirls at a PRAYER for rain. Nobody else cares about their mutual masterbation. They need to do this silly stuff in order to get off.
Confession – I don’t pray to a deity … but I have exclaimed, in a manner that could be misconstrued as a “prayer”:
F*ck I hope it rains
F*cK I hope it stops raining
Indeed.
Christianity represents morality, goodness and order.
Marxists can’t have that.
That Washington Post chose to focus on one man’s prayer over Obama’s affinity with Islamists. It shows what a terrible mouthpiece it is.
I pray(ask God) that President Donald Trump will be protected and safe from men who wish him harm, and that President Trump will honor the promises he made to those who supported him.
In comparison, asking for rain is a small thing.
Matthew 5
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

On April 10, 1992, Kinison died at the age of 38 after his white 1989 Pontiac Trans Am was struck head-on on U.S. Route 95, 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Interstate 40 and around 15 miles northwest of Needles, California, by a pickup truck driven by 17-year-old Troy Pierson, who had been drinking alcohol. The pickup truck crossed the center line of the roadway and went into Kinison’s lane. At the time of the collision, Kinison was traveling to Laughlin, Nevada to perform at a sold-out show.
Kinison was found lying between the seats of his car at the scene of the collision. He was not killed instantly, according to his brother.
His brother and the others begged him to lie down and he did with his best friend, Carl LaBove, who had been in the following van, holding his head in his hands. At first it looked like Kinison had suffered no serious injuries, but within minutes he suddenly said to no one in particular, “I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die.” LaBove later said, “it was as if he was having a conversation, talking to someone else, some unseen person.” Then there was a pause as if Kinison was listening to the other person speak. Then he asked “But why?” and after another pause LaBove heard him clearly say: “Okay, okay, okay.’ LaBove said, “The last ‘okay’ was so soft and at peace…. Whatever voice was talking to him gave him the right answer and he just relaxed with it. He said it so sweet, like he was talking to someone he loved.”
WAPO is a piece of s h i t. it ain’t worth the paper it is written on.
Potus Trump should require that EVERY press session either by his press sec’y’ himself or any Cabinet member,be opened with a prayer or invocation.
Watch the heads explode!
