State Democrats stormed out of the Virginia House chamber Tuesday after a black pastor condemned abortion and gay marriage through prayer.

Rev. Robert M. Grant Jr. of The Father’s Way Church in Warrenton, Virginia, addressed the Democrat-controlled House of Delegates with an opening prayer that condemned abortion and gay marriage, Media Research Center reported. Grant’s prayer caused members to storm out of the chamber and for one member to yell, “Is this a prayer or a sermon?”

The pastor defended his actions by saying the “state house belongs to all the citizens.”

“And all the citizens have a voice,” Grant added. “If it’s my turn to have a voice, and I am a pastor, what do you expect from me? If you don’t want to hear what a pastor has to say, then don’t invite one.”

It should not just split African-Americans away from that mob. That should apply to every decent, God fearing American.

Demons usually run when the name of Jesus is invoked.

It has gotten worse over the years. The Dems have taken the black vote for granted and ignore them in favor of the LGBTQWERTY crowd and their money.

Ignored them? When every leftist argument against any conservative position whatsoever is "racism?" It actually looks to me like Blacks--the mirror reflections of their rural white Protestant counterparts--are actually favored over all other "oppressed" groups (I have a theory as to why but it's really too weird and bizarre to get into).

Blacks have had the option to vote against the moral nihilists all along but have never chosen to do so. And as I said, why should they? For the most part libs don't care what Blacks think about abortion, homosexuality, etc. They only care what Billy Bob thinks. Otherwise why would these "gay rights activists" support Iran and islamic theocracy? Their whole worldview is taking the opposite position from Billy Bob on every single issue.

And what kind of person ignores moral nihilism to simply vote for goodies? If Blacks defined themselves primarily by their religion and not their ethnicity we wouldn't even be in this mess.

He was showboating . . .

That's all Democrats ever do. And he was showboating to make sure people noticed that not every black preacher has been bought off by the forces of sodomy and infanticide.

It’s the “Vampire Effect”. As Dracula always shunned the cross and other holy things that caused him pain, Democrats have been systematically training themselves, like Pavlov’s dog, to react negatively to heartfelt religious expression, and the symbols of faith.

I knew a threshold had been reached at the 2016 DNC, when the delegates loudly screamed “No!” three times at the mere mention of putting any reference to God in their platform.

And it is getting worse among them, as they keep adding more and more forbidden things, even words, to their prohibited list. Even at the local level, seeing The Bible or hearing words of religious faith are making more and more Democrats *wince in pain*.

Much like seeing the name Trump, or a red Make America Great Again cap makes them violently lash out.

It’s simple really

Democrats are big city people. They see Europe as salvation from their miserable urban existence. taken as a whole, they are basically lazy and want someone else to do the day to day work required to keep their homes and jobs. they abhor America

Make no mistake about it....... the American cities are no longer america.

I’ve heard of that before. Now, where was it....Ah, yes...
Acts 7:57
“Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears”

Zechariah 7:11
“But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and covered their ears.”

Are the voters of Virginia this far gone?

This is rather troubling.

"...invite the Lord to help with the meeting..."

"But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!"

...and...

"The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught."

All goes to prove there really is such a thing as the “Hound of Heaven.” It always fascinates me how it exploits circumstances like this to excite and expose the demonic spirits in folks.

Look at the antics of the dems and the left with spiritual eyes...it is patently obvious and everywhere today.

This does not bode well for the Rats. It’s looking more and more like their black plantation dwellers are finally wising up to their con and preparing to make a break for it. Gotta be loving it!

I wonder if the blacks in Virginia will even remember or care how the Democrats showed such disrespect to a man of the cloth?

Yes, if he was “showboating” somewhat by actually saying something meaningful and heartfelt, then the hysteria ABOUT his feelings BY the demoncratic party members is even more telling.

My my. Touchy touchy. Do I detect guilty consciences?

I do not. Liberals don’t have consciences.

They were feeling the mortal dread and fear at what awaits them, no matter how much or loudly they attempt to deny it.
