"They added that the faith leaders "prayed together, sang songs and hymns, and shared stories of those who have been abducted by ICE while at work or commuting to and from the airport" in an effort to call on airlines companies " particularly Delta and Signature Aviation " to "stand with Minnesotans in calling for ICE to immediately end its surge in the state".

Monsters, miscreants, and blasphemers.

Kanye can change his name to BLAKKK ICE and rap about pepperspraying peaceful protestors to imprison migrant families.

Minaj can twerk over a Britney skin Bible, her glossy, thick tentacles snap to the beat and occassionally grab a random fleeing child to toss into the child catchers basket.

Americans deserve and want a strong border...but brownshirts violently intimidating people in Blue areas of Blue states is an attack on the sovereignty of such states and their right to vote as they see fit.

All the people who can't understand why they're doing this are welcome to listen to these ministers more.

The time to put out the fires of evil is BEFORE it becomes a raging inferno and starts burning up everyone in their communities and places of worship.

Oh, so now these ministers who you accuse of leading congregations of racists and homophobes aren't so bad after all?

They are actually compassionate and caring individuals?

#9 You know, Eb, Rev. Bob Jones, Sr. and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., lived in the same period of time.

Are you saying that they were exactly the same?

Goodness no. But I'm not always pissing and moaning about evangelicals either.

That the problem.....friend?....

People are quick to assume all clergy are the same and hate on them.

Yeah. Sure. Possibly.

NOW maybe they are. 100 of them. Out of what? 200+ million?

A day late and dollar short.

Where were they a few years ago when we really needed their voices and their "compassion and caring"??

Rev. Bob Jones, Sr., was an evangelical.

Jerry Falwell was an evangelical.

Franklin Graham is an evangelical.

Robert Jeffress is an evangelical.

Paula White-Cain is an evangelical.

Doug Wilson is an evangelical.

Dutch Sheets is an evangelical.

Ken Peters is an evangelical.

Jack Hibbs is an evangelical.

Mark Burns is an evangelical.

Chuck Baldwin is an evangelical.

So I am unsure as to what point you're trying to make, Eb.

since when did the Left care about the Clergy?

#15 | Posted by Maverick at 2026-01-24 01:00 PM | Reply

I've yet to see the left rounding up and arresting clergy members.

Even those we disagree with.

What's apparent is the right doesn't care about clergy members, especially those who refuse to fall in line.

#12 Perhaps, Tor.

As for me, here are some of my heroes:

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

James Reeb

Robert Graetz

Rev. Bruce Klunder

Rev. Edwin King

Keith Tonkel

...and that's just from the 1950s-1960s.

There are many clergy today who have followed in their footsteps, including my late FIL.

But when I hear "evangelical" associated with clergy today, well, then, yes, they're evil and mock the red letters in the Bible every chance they get.

Since when they ignored the constitutional separation of church and state and decided to use their power for evil and stuck their self righteous noses into politics and our secular government.

I should have waited longer before there were more posts slobbering over these clergy members.

I'm just having a little fun with the hypocrisy from folks who 99% of the time hold clergymembers in contempt.

I'm bored.

A friend, see donnerboy's posts to best illustrate my point.

I'm willing to bet these aren't the ministers you're accustomed to associating with.

The racist, homophobic pastors are all MAGA and wouldn't leave their mansions to piss on a man burning in their front yard.

They'd sooner call security.

I'm not always pissing and moaning about evangelicals either.

What makes you assume they were evangelicals? I haven't found that information provided anywhere.

Not sure how you do it Mr I'm Bored.

But I only hold people who do contemptable things in contempt.

Same with Deplorables.
