Elected officials need to focus on helping Americans, not absurd political correctness:

Social justice activists support lame 'Words Matter Task Force' that issues list of offensive words

Sometimes I don’t know which is worse: how lame political correctness is or how ignorant the radical left has become over time. U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, Missouri Democrat, gave the opening prayer of the 117th Congress this week. He closed by saying “amen and awoman.”

Wow! My father was an ordained minister, and I never heard anyone at our church or in our home end a prayer with anything other than “Amen.” The phrase has nothing to do with gender. According to the dictionary, “Amen is commonly used after a prayer, creed, or other formal statement. It is spoken to express solemn ratification or agreement. It means “it is so” or “so it be.” Amen is derived from the Hebrew “amen”, which means “certainty,” “truth” and “verily.”

Hard to imagine that anyone could make the end to a prayer political. But they did.

Then, under the proposed rules for the 117th Congress, the House Democrats stated that they would “honor all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender-neutral.”

Under their rules, this is how I would have to introduce my familial relationships this Christmas: --->READ MORE HERE

The coming ‘woke’ American Theocracy:

Over a two day period in late March of 1979, the people of Iran held a groundbreaking referendum to turn their country into a theocratic Islamic Republic where the religious leaders ruled supreme.

According to the wholeheartedly honest and incorruptible officials who counted the votes, 99.3% of the ballots were cast in favor of becoming an Islamic Republic.

(This bears a striking resemblance to Kim Jong Un winning a 2014 ‘election’ in North Korea with 100% of the vote, or when Saddam Hussein won re-election in Iraq back in 2002 with 11.4 million votes in favor, and 0 against.)

Within months, a new constitution was drafted, and Iran became a theocracy.

In a theocracy, the rules and rituals of the official state religion become pervasive in everything– politics, education, business, news, entertainment, and even your daily routine– regardless of whether or not you’re a believer… if you’re even allowed to be a non-believer.

In its own way, the United States (and much of the West) is rapidly becoming a theocracy where the woke leftist religion similarly pervades our daily lives.
