'For God's sake': Joe Biden and the Texas tragedy
American Thinker ^ | 25 May A.D. 2022 | Ned Barnett

Posted on 05/25/2022 8:36:19 PM PDT by lightman

For God's sake, Mister President, don't turn this tragedy into cheap political capital. ...

After that, it became a political stump speech:

"When in God's name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?" he demanded. "When in God's name will we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?"

Ten times he named God in a seven-minute speech. In seven of those, he called on God's name in what could easily be taken as an epithet...

As soon as you pipe up about the bills in state legislatures legalizing infanticide maybe we will listen. Until then...well, no. Not until then.

Did he find a way to turn the speech into a discussion of his deceased son? That’s often what Joe does at private memorials.

I read he did. I didn’t watch the while speech to confirm.

That was one of the worst speeches I heard. It came off as forced, angry and insincere all in one speech. Biden looked terrible and lost (more then usual) add said the victims families will need help, then just shuffled off.

While Biden is certainly vulgar (and this is hardly the first time), he really didn’t take God’s name in vain. God has a name, but how to say it has been lost to us. “Yod Hey Vav Hey (יהוה‎) is how God’s name is rendered in Hebrew. Pious Jews when reading the Torah would only whisper it, but over the years the pronunciation of His name has been lost—Hebrew writing only having consonants but leaving off the vowels.

Go ahead, squinty-eyed PigFace Joe, and curse Him some more.
While you’re at it, shake your fist at Him real good too. Oh and then spit in His face a few times just to let Him know who’s the real “big guy”. You know, just for good measure. Let’s see where that gets ya....ya dumb POS.
PigFace is one sick, demented, American-hating SOB.

I wondered if he understood at all. Using the Lord’s name in vain was so offensive, I had to mute it. It was like an R rated speech, not an empathetic speech to those who had been harmed.

Initially, I wasn’t paying attention as much to the use of the Lord’s name, but more to how it sounded so forced/scripted and how bad he looked.

As he usually ends most speeches with a forced/angry “may God protect our troops” line it didn’t quite hit me how much he said it until i read a transcript.

Exodus 20:7 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

He will and it wont matter in Nov because people lives will still be ruined. In the meantime, they will take your ability to defend yourself, you by-proxy Jan 6 villian.

The problem is not guns, its the sickness that happens when children are essentially left on their own by neglectful or non-existing parents to develop a sense of what is right and what is wrong. We were set on the course the day prayer was removed from public schools. Even when both parents are available today most are happy to focus on satisfying their own wants over spending time molding their children into responsible caring adults and just expect the school to handle it. As we know, public schools today have no interest in educating children to become productive adults but rather use them just as pawns in their plan to change the country into a Marxist vision of utopia, which does not exist. This resulted in young adults who are poorly educated in dealing in the real world and who have no concept that taking the lives of others is not okay. Unless we get back to a country of families with a mother and father (one male, one female) who teach their children about God and expect their children to abide by God’s laws we are doomed. It may very well be too late. All I can say is God help us.

As horrifying and sad this mass shooting is, it doesn’t come even a fraction close to the 110,000 dead because of the Biden occupations open borders policy. Don’t take anything someone offers you, even aspirin unless you are 100% sure where it originated. Fentanyl is in everything today
