Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks Mocked for Singing ‘Atheist Anthem’ ‘Imagine’ at Devotedly Christian Roselyn Carter’s Funeral
Breitbart ^ | 11/29/2023 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 11/29/2023 12:49:53 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Superstar country music couple Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks performed an odd song to sing at former first lady Rosalynn Carter’s funeral on Tuesday with John Lennon’s anti-religious, left-wing themed song “Imagine,” even though Carter was a devout Southern Baptist Christian.

The singers, dressed all in black, performed an acoustic rendition of the vapid Lennon song which contains the lyrics “Imagine there’s no Heaven,” “No hell below us Above us, only sky,” and “Imagine… no religion, too.”

The pair delivered a nice recitation of the popular, left-wing dream tune, certainly. But to sing that there is no heaven and no religion at the funeral of a woman who has always been portrayed as a devout Christian is certainly a strange choice.

I wonder if Lennon wishes he could come back and rewrite that song?

I didn’t watch/didn’t care about this funeral, but was SO surprised to see our beautiful First Lady, Melania, attending. What a picture of style and grace surrounded by 3 ugly (inside and out) witches.

“The Carter’s were disgusting globalists who had their sights set on destroying the Christian church from within. Brooks and Yearwood are sickening leftists who tries to destroy country music from within”


Correct. I suspect either Mrs. Carter or the family chose that song for the services. The Carters wore their public persona as Christians as a shield from criticism from conservatives. The media was happy to help them in that endeavor. The family is just as much globalists as the Bush family.

Garth Brooks, the man who single-handedly destroyed country music.

They left the SBC many years ago because their beliefs were not in line with the Southern Baptist statements of faith.

“I have been disappointed and feel excluded by the adoption of policies and an increasingly rigid Southern Baptist Convention creed, including some provisions that violate the basic premises of my Christian faith,” he wrote, noting issues like biblical inerrancy and the exclusion of women from being pastors.

Since that time, President Carter has continued to find himself in the midst of theological conversation via cautionary blog posts by Mohler, as an advocate for left-leaning Christianity (2004), as an opponent to Christian fundamentalism (2005), for his belief of salvation outside of Christ

"Imagine” by John Lennon is explicitly secularist."

I would say explicitly nihilist.

I saw that on LIVE tv-

Hilarious- the Demonrat crowd BOOED everytime a republican
came in- not kidding-

Jesse Ventura was governor- they booed his wife!

Soooo- Jesse stayed out of the fundraiser-

No apologies- his son got up and said- Vote for DAD-
the Democrat taking his place!!

can’t make this up—

I am surprised the Demonic party is not passing around a fundraiser basket at these “memorials”

“...the Carters rejected and left the Southern Baptists...”

Yes, they were too righteous to remain.

Oh, so this was a RAT planned virtue signaling shitshow, as usual, and the real funeral is later.

“Surely the family chose the song... no?”

Elsewhere I read the song was a favorite of the Carter's.

So yes, this was with the approval - likely request - of the family.

Another one of them things that don't add up with this family.

President Reagan undid some of the Carter damage; but follow-on’s breathed oxygen into their socialist agenda. We see that everywhere.

I suspect it is a similar situation as Lawrence Welk playing One Toke Over the Line ...

Yes, remember us reacting to that here as it happened. It was unbelievable.

I had never heard Rush Limbaugh more somber in an opening monologue for his show the next day after this happened...he couldn’t believe even the Democrats could do something like that given the occasion.

Then I recall years later revisionists saying what occurred there did *not* occur and was a fake narrative started later by conservatives and the talk radio circuit.

Oh whatever, guys.

It’s someone’s funeral and while I don’t care for this song, if someone asked me to sing at a funeral I would.

Maybe they should have sang “I Can Only Imagine”. By Mercy Me.

Now that is the song that should have been sung, “I Can Only Imagine.” I bet someone got it wrong while setting up the plan for the funeral.
