The 117th Congress kicked off with a fresh controversy Sunday when the Democrat delivering the opening prayer concluded by saying “amen,” and then added “a-woman.” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, Missouri Democrat, ended his prayer “in the name of the monotheistic god,” then added what sounded like “Brahma,” before finishing with “and god known by many names by many different faiths. Amen and a-woman.”(Snip) “Amen is Latin for 'so be it,'" tweeted Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, Pennsylvania Republican. “It’s not a gendered word. Unfortunately, facts are irrelevant to progressives. Unbelievable.” According to Catholic.com, “Amen is a word that came to English from Latin, which

These godless creeps used to scare me. But no more ''because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.'' I worried about all the secrecy when it was reported that Obama took the second oath of office in secret. The description of it sounded more like a seance than an oath-taking.

The sad thing about fools is they’re not aware of how stupid they appear to the rest of the world. They continue being fools simply by congregating with each other to reinforce and affirm their idiocy.

Intelligence is not a requirement for Congresscritter. Usually is for the clergy, but there are some questionable folks that did receive their ordination. In many denominations.

Cleaver has always been an idiot. I have friends who knew him when he was younger, and they say he was pretty much a loose cannon, even then.

Amen has nothing to do with sex. The term amen meaning “so be it” as found in the early scriptures of the Bible is a word of Hebrew origin. It originated in the Hebrew Scriptures, as a reply of confirmation, and is found in Deuteronomy as an affirmative response made by the people. Furthermore, in the Books of Chronicles, it is designated that near 1000 BC, the word is used in its religious meaning, with the people responding with "amen" to receiving the blessing: "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from now and unto all eternity".

I don't understand why proponents of the "Progressive" political pathology are not routinely and everywhere being called out for the sick, cynical semantic games they are pulling on the rest of us...
Just as we allowed the Democrat Party to hijack the label "Democratic", along with all that the word evokes in freedom-loving people like Americans, we seem to naively and too generously pretend they call themselves "progressive" in an attempt to convey the sense of "improvement" or "evolution". No, not all...they actually mean it literally in terms more like the frog in boiling water. A few lies here, a bit of fraud there, and Shazam! - our whole culture and country have melted away - "progressively"- under our feet.
These people have made a "science" (to use another of their favorite words) out of lying, manipulation, cheating and theft to get the power and control over our lives that they want. And they don't seem particularly bashful about revealing their intentions, if we just pay attention to filter out the double-speak and take them at their literal word.
It's sad, but probably inevitable, that there are really only limited choices in dealing with the damage these people appear to intend for almost every aspect of our lives they touch. Clearly the "progressive" Left believes that the better angels of conservative Americans won't let us act before it's too late to make a difference. They need to be proven wrong, and their nonsense and abuse of our lives, rights and principles stopped. Sooner rather than later, as they say.

Obviously went to the same theological seminary as 'Rev'. Al. The "monotheistic god"? God is God; wouldn't it be WE who are monotheistic? This guy is an idiot, and that's about as charitable as I can get.

It would seem that Rev. Cleaver epitomizes the level of intelligence among the Democrat members of our current Congress.
He's a nincompoop.
Bet he received his reverency off a cereal box.

Disappoint-men-t to disappointwomants ... yeah that makes sense./s Are we on track to changing our language to some awkward, incomprehensible, gibberish? How will that solve anything? This is like the revenge of the Puritans, with each trying to out the other in inclusiveness. No matter how stupid the thought that it must be honored is simply raising stupid to the same level as brilliant. How stupid.

Do they even know what 'Amen' means? It has nothing to do with gender. They are so stupid, and they are our leaders. This is American stupidity on display in front of the entire world. We should be embarrassed that we elected such idiots.

If Emanuel Cleaver HAD gotten his reverency off the top of a cereal box this would be understandable but he is an Elder in the United Methodist Church with a Master's of Divinity from St Paul's School of Theology. As a Methodist myself I have grave concerns about the denominations and look forward with hope to the pending split. That said, Cleaver is well educated. What he has done is a prime example as to why the UMC will soon be no more. The liberal fraction can take their church and its liberation, progressive theology and go to .....

Ewomanuel Carver is the chairwoMAN of the group of brainiacs known as the Congressional Black Caucus. There is NOT a member of that club whose IQ reaches above 50. Of course as womental case he would be all in to remind us little people of how woke he and his fellow democrat doofuses are. Even though as an ordained minister he should know better. Dr Michael Savage said a along time ago that liberalism/leftism is a mental disorder and he was right.
