The following is from Examiner.Com:
“Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal is under fire after asking Republican House members to pray for President Barack Obama’s death. O’Neal made the request via an email he forwarded to GOP colleagues in the House. In an email sent in December, O’Neal asked his fellow Republicans to pray Psalm 109, which contains the following lines:
Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
The email has become the subject of a mini-media frenzy. Numerous major news outlets began reporting the details surrounding the disturbing prayer request on Friday.
The relevant verse from Psalm 109 is considered a prayer for vengeance, a prayer for the death of a leader. The most damning part of the prayer is lines 7-12:
'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.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labor.
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.'
Think Progress reports that 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!!!!!!”
News of the email is a sad commentary on Republican politics in Kansas. In addition, the email prayer request indicates an astonishing disregard and disrespect for the office of the presidency. For a government official to pray for the death of President Obama, and encourage other government officials to do the same, is not only morally reprehensible, it is also treason.”
Is it treason? If you believe in pray then I think it is treason. If you believe in God then I think it is treason.
It is un-American for sure.
I think not only should he resign as Speaker of the House but I think he should resign from the House. Plus everyone that he sent that email to and did not object to it and call for him to resign should not hold office of any sort.
Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal sent an email in the past to his follow House Republicans and called Michelle Obama “Mrs. YoMama.”
Some Kansas ministers have a 30,000 signature petition calling on House Speaker Mike O’Neal to resign.
I read some comments made about the ministers and most of the comments attack the ministers; “bozos posiing as reverends”, “dishonest ‘reverends’” etc.
Again you can see the true color of the Republicans. They wrap themselves in the American flag but they are un-American to their very core.
