Nick Sementelli at Faith in Public Life notes that Psalm 109, which is a prayer for the death of a leader, became a popular conservative meme after Obama’s election. The “tongue-in-cheek” prayer for the president was seen on bumper stickers. The relevant part of the psalm reads:O’Neal forwarded the prayer with his own message: “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!!!!!!”Let his days be few; and let another take his office
May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.
O’Neal’s office refuses to apologize for the email, insisting that the message was only referring to Obama’s days in office. Sementelli notes the response of a Rockford Register Star columnist who explains why this excuse won’t do.
What a pathetic excuse for both a Christian and a human in general.
Well that's okay then...so long as O'Neal only wants Malia and Sasha to be poor and fatherless while Obama is in office.
ReplyDeleteThough actually, if Obama could pull off widowing Michelle while in office, and then somehow come back after January 2017...wouldn't that mean he'd died and come back...resurrected, even?
What I'm getting at is that I'm pretty sure O'Neal is praying that Obama is Christ come again.
You couldn't be more wrong. Obviously they're waiting for Reagan to come back. He is definitely the RWNJ's Messiah, even though if they really knew him, they'd call him a liberal.
