Only one political pundit and blogger saw this day coming – me! This makes me a political prophet. This makes me – right! This makes me worthy of a book! These evangelical leaders should have condemned Trump for his racist comments and canceled his show. These so called Christians want to go to war with their fellow Americans. They and their racist mouthpiece – are insane!

He was praying for creeps.
A crowd of conservatives broke into guffaws Friday when a Republican senator suggested they pray for President Obama using a biblical passage that says “Let his days be few.”
The audience laughed at Georgia Sen. David Perdue’s prayer — even though the rest of Psalm 109:8, which he did not read, says “Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.”
Perdue was speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition when he told the room, “I think we should pray for Barack Obama.”

But, Perdue said, there was a very specific prayer he had in mind for the president.
“We should pray like Psalm 109:8 says, ‘Let his days be few,’” Perdue said, to audience chuckles. “And let another have his office,” he continued.
Perdue stopped before reaching the most disturbing line.
Instead, he moved into prepared remarks, saying “In all seriousness, I believe that America is at a moment of crisis.”

He stuck to his planned speech for the rest of his talk.
Kristen Orthman, a spokeswoman for Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, said Perdue’s comments “left the impression he was praying for the death of President Obama.”
“If Republicans are still wondering why Donald Trump is their nominee, look no further than today’s Faith and Freedom conference,” she said.
Orthman also observed that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., followed Perdue on stage “and did not condemn him.” Trump spoke later in the day at the annual gathering of religious conservatives.
Perdue’s staff immediately dismissed the idea that the Georgia GOP’er was hoping for harm to come to Obama.
Donald Trump pitched himself Monday to Christian students at Liberty University as a politically incorrect protector of Christianity, tailoring his classic stump speech to the evangelical audience with mixed success.
