Democrats Want Amen AND Awoman! - BFritz21 - 01-04-2021 If this doesn't tell you how stupid Democrats are and how they're ruining the country, then I think you need to have your head checked. Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver ended the opening prayer by saying "amen and awoman." Amen basically means "so be it"! Awoman has no meaning! Do they not realize how stupid they sound or are they just hoping that Americans are too stupid to realize that the Dems are trying to play them?! If this doesn't make you scared for the future of our country.......... Quote:A House Democrat tasked with leading the body in an opening prayer for the new Congress has gendered the word “amen.” I think this clearly shows that Democrats just try to win votes and popularity by playing off people's emotions. RE: Democrats Want Amen AND Awoman! - Forever Spinning Vinyl - 01-04-2021 Ridiculous. One Democrat says something and in 'alternative reality world' that means ALL Democrats have adopted this thought process. And it's hilariously ironic how you don't think that Republicans play off of people's emotions. Amazing. The free comedy Republicans supply us with every day would be awesome if it wasn't so terrifying.

RE: Democrats Want Amen AND Awoman! - jason - 01-04-2021 They should hang him in the public square next to the senators, vice president, and representatives that are ***** with the election results. RE: Democrats Want Amen AND Awoman! - CJD - 01-04-2021 Democrats are virtue signallers. If they see an opportunity to pander, they take it. It's probably their worst overall trait, other than their ties to corporatism, which virtually every politician is guilty of. That said, I'll take a virtue signaller over a genuinely awful person, which is what the vast majority of Republican politicians are. RE: Democrats Want Amen AND Awoman! - fredtoast - 01-04-2021 Does anyone else think it is funny that the same guy who said this.

Because obviously nothing will "ruin this country" more than saying something stupid at the end of a prayer. RE: Democrats Want Amen AND Awoman! - BmorePat87 - 01-04-2021 This certainly makes me feel like my complaints about what conservatives in Congress are doing are now just trivial.

Republicans are worse. Always make a big show out of standing for the national anthem and force everyone to do it with them. Can't pray silently, instead it has to be out loud and in public before meetings and ball games. Have to make sure EVERYONE sees how much they are for "God and Country". RE: Democrats Want Amen AND Awoman! - Nately120 - 01-04-2021 We speak English in this country. If you want to say amen you should go to Greece or Israel or wherever they spoke Latin. So be it. RE: Democrats Want Amen AND Awoman! - NATI BENGALS - 01-04-2021 Personally I think anyone praying to a make believe deity sounds stupid. But yea. I never tied gender to amen of course I am not really polished up when it comes to religious knowledge because I feel it is useless.

Putting a gender on the word amen makes about as much sense as putting a gender on God himself or depicting everyone in the Bible, including intangible beings as Renaissance era northern Italians.

See the part about Nancy below the Amen part. It's a slippery slope.

How many times have people said amen on this board just in instances of agreeing with someone? (01-04-2021, 09:19 PM)michaelsean Wrote: Moronic at least.

Yes, I'm sure you're going to be forced to say A-woman any day now. RE: Democrats Want Amen AND Awoman! - Benton - 01-05-2021 After four years of Trump, I was hoping people were ready to move on from 'one guy speaks for all the party.' Wishful thinking, I guess.

Have to make sure EVERYONE sees how much they are for "God and Country". Sorry, I should have clarified. When I think of virtue signalling, I think of "wokeness" rather than faux patriotism. I call the Republican's faux patriotism "nationalism." I take that a whole lot more seriously than the left's woke virtue signalling because it's a lot more insidious in its nature. American exceptionalism is a myth that has justified a LOT of genocide and terrorism around the world, so I segment it off from the left's virtue signalling which, to be honest, is more annoying than anything else.

Would you agree though that Trump has many minions who not only agree with him but feel what he says and does is "totally appropriate" whereas this is an isolated incident that is a nice distraction from the group of republicans trying to overturn the election? Not that Trump is the entire republican party mind you, but I didn't see a bunch of Democrats jumping up to say what a smart and goof thing "Awomen" was either. Heck we can't get people to admit that when a group says they are violent and racist that they are violent and racist. Edit to add: I wish we could stay focused on Trump's foolishness about the election long enough to decide if he's breaking laws before we switch to "is 'awomen' vs 'amen' dumb or not".

It distracts from overall party issues, or decent candidates. It's this kind of thinking that gets the same guys elected over and over again despite not doing anything to benefit their country or state. Or, flip side, gets candidates brushed aside because they're from the party of trump or party of pelosi. |
