Rep. Rashida Tlaib spews out her boiling contempt for prayers after the shootings -- three times
American Thinker ^ | 08/06/2019 | Monica Showalter

In the wake of the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings, far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib spewed out at least three times on Twitter her loathing for the power of prayer from those who expressed shock and sadness at the events and said they were praying. Look at how repugnant this is:

 

251 mass shootings in the United States in 216 days. Prayers aren't cutting it Senator. We need you to serve the people, not gun lobbyists. https://t.co/C8ejp9yofL — Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) August 4, 2019

 

She also retweeted this:

 

The House passed two gun safety bills months ago, but you continue to block them.

Since you tweeted your prayers, another American community, Dayton, has been shattered by gun violence.

Americans are dying, and you’re blocking us from helping them.

Who exactly do you serve? https://t.co/r0GdjBpmdA — Katherine Clark (@RepKClark) August 4, 2019

 

The nastiness with which she replies to two Republicans who express a sincere appeal to a higher power in the face of the inexplicable is utterly revolting. It's the kind of contempt Karl Marx and V.I. Lenin once had for the religious faithful. The two Republicans she spews the bile at were expressing some kind of reverence and humility, a trust and turning to a higher power in the face of loss, same as people have done for thousands of years. Tlaib reacts to that with basic leftist viciousness, sounding like Stalin asking Roosevelt how many divisions the pope has, and all of this based in part on her same Marxist ideology. She's got some kind of problem with God and she's got an even bigger problem with those who don't.

The Dems “gun safety bills” would not have prevented these two killers from getting their guns because they had a clean record with law enforcement.

What Talib and the Democrats want is gun confiscation from ALL citizens, which would leave only the criminals with guns. NO CHANCE that will happen.

There seems to be a developing narrative among the liberals, that prayers are not enough, prayers don’t matter, etc.

Remember the Democrats booed God at their convention?

Depends on who she is praying to. There are only 2 choices: God or Satan. Since she disrespects those praying to God, she must be praying to Satan 10 times a day.

Isn’t there a way to isolate these idiots on twitter so it doesn’t infect the rest of us? Let them have their fun with each other but why do we have to know what they said? There soon is going to be realization just how horrific social media is to the country. Why it isn’t seen and stopped already is anyone’s guess. Oh yeah - 1st Amendment. Baloney. Let them have at it with one another all they want but I believe we also have the right to be free from their hateful words. I for one, do not need to know what nonsense they spew out.

Prayer is a “conversation” with God, not dictation for action. God is not our Santa Clause, He is our Savior. Try listening . . .
God also allows - expects us - to use our free will to make decision and act. This is why listening is so important.

If I recall correctly, they believe Allah to be the one TRUE GOD so that’s who they pray to or as you said, “satan”.

“”expects us - to use our free will to make decision and act.””

Which is why He gave us free will....God given.

251 mass shootings in the United States in 216 days.

Do they even bother to try and document this absurd claim? What on Earth is their source for this?

Feb 4, 2016 - President Barack Obama’s speech at the Islamic Society ... “The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer...”

Another: “Muslim Americans keep us safe. They are our police. They are our fire fighters. They’re in Homeland Security.” The President added that Muslims don’t hear “thank you” enough.

= = = = =
My opinion—the people at the World Trade Center or first responders and others exposed to deadly chemicals there are not able to hear the call to prayer. Or to thank anyone.

They are dead.

An interviewed author I heard a couple of times said “school shooting” includes an urban area shot fired outside the school grounds but entering. And someone who has a grudge and shoots the windows in a driveby. And a loaded gun that goes off by accident but at the school parking lot.

In same statistics: a mentally deranged shooter who kills many at a time.

But people think all of the ones mentioned are the same as the very last above.

The only prayers she recognizes are the kind with your head on the ground and your butt in the air facing Mecca.
