Hillary Clinton: Next President Should Be Praying Person

[Delmar]

If the newspapers are to believed she's had three strokes, Alzheimers, and a ruined liver so it could be argued that her profession of faith is sincere.  She is after all another day's march nearer the mausoleum, as the wise man once said.  But I don't believe it.

Hillary Clinton: Next President Should Be Praying Person


 

September 10, 2016
Posted by Jack Vance

Hillary Clinton spoke to the National Baptist Convention in Kansas City this week. According to The New York Times, there was at least one notable moment during her speech, one that has been generating quite a bit of attention among atheists in the U.S.

The next president, she told the audience at the National Baptist Convention here on Thursday night, should be “a praying person.”

Great. This would seem to disqualify most atheists from the office. Isn't this precisely the sort of religious bigotry of which Clinton has accused her opponent? Or is it just that atheists are fair game while Muslims must be shielded for some reason?

Mrs. Clinton told an audience that was almost entirely black. The nation, she added, needed “a president who will pray with you and for you.”

5. praying does not necessary mean belief in god. It is a form the f reflection. She also qualified

it by saying should, not must. It is a personal opinion

This primitive is trying to head off any other DUmmies from mocking Cankles for praying to a magical sky daddy.  She probably prays to the big government that she worships.

4. Exactly.

Humans have been praying to things that are bullshit since our beginning. I don't want someone to carry on that tradition.

We need a shepherd. Not a sheep.

Keep gods out of government.

Primitives want a shepherd, they've got the sheep part covered.

Bill's got the preying part mastered!

"still_one's" word-gaming is funny. Don't like what Her Entitledness said? Redefine her words into meaninglessness.

Neither "still_one" nor DU's feathers-ruffled atheists get - or maybe they don't want to admit - what The Entitled SHREW actually did. The Entitled SHREW is a chameleon. She spoke at the (liberal - politically, if not also theologically) National Baptist Convention; she said what needed to be said to blend in. The Entitled SHREW's only god is power: she has sacrificed her dignity and humanity in service to that god; she has sacrificed every woman WJC has ever assaulted in service to and pursuit of power.

I wonder if The Entitled SHREW recycled her phony black accent for the National Baptist Conventioneers. The 2008 version was worse than Dick Van Dyke's phony cockney accent in "Mary Poppins"!

Has Hillary ever prayed to anyone other than herself?

Has Hillary ever prayed to anyone other than herself?

Does yelling "G--D---- you!" at Secret Service agents or military White House detail personnel count?
