Most black Democrats know their place and act accordingly, and that also includes the clergy. So, when a so-called “conservative” pastor was invited to offer the morning prayer before the regular session of the Virginia House of Delegates, liberal Democrats clearly expected him to give an authorized invocation sympathetic to their politics.

Things didn’t go as planned….

Check out the following video, including a standing ovation for Del. Luke Torian, who forcefully denounced an anti-LGBT, anti-abortion prayer delivered this morning by a pastor.

P.S. You can watch the “prayer” here… or, probably a better idea, not.

The hypocritical outrage from the tolerant intolerants was predictable.

The ideological tension boiled over into Tuesday’s invocation in the House, where the Rev. Robert M. Grant Jr. of the Father’s Way Church in Warrenton gave a prayer that railed against abortion and same-sex marriage, prompting most of the Democratic caucus to walk out. Even a few Republicans retreated to the rear of the chamber.

“There is a time and a place for everything,” Del. Matt Fariss (R-Campbell) said afterward. “This is a time we need to work together and not be divisive.”

It must suck to have an event hijacked by someone who doesn’t agree with those present.

“Is this a prayer or a sermon?,” a delegate yelled from the Democratic side of the chamber as the prayer turned increasingly political. Democrats were sharply critical of the prayer’s tone, calling it a breach of the normal protocols for guest clergy. The pastor had been invited by Del. Michael Webert, R-Fauquier. Speaking to reporters afterward, Grant stood by his remarks and called the Democratic response “unprofessional.”

“I think that the statehouse belongs to all the citizens. And all the citizens have a voice,” Grant said. “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.”

Democrats have a long tradition of blatantly showing up in black churches, risking an IRS violation of their 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, purely for political purposes. Even if the Democrat politician may not say one partisan word, their very purpose is intended as a very visual endorsement.

While we’re constantly reminded that liberal Democrats embrace the free exchange of ideas, the action by Virginia Democrats once again proved that they only tolerate speech they agree with, and heaven help any black person who speaks out of turn.

We all know what Virginia Democrats did to uppity blacks not all that long ago….

Over the years, we’ve seen many displays of what could be considered obscene, vulgar, profane, lewd, lascivious, indecent language, suggestions or proposals of an obscene nature, and threats of illegal or immoral acts. Whether those displays originate online or at public protests, the left is the most egregious of offenders, they’re proud of it and consider such First Amendment-protected free speech.

When a bully gets a taste of his or her own medicine, that bully usually backs down. That is unless we’re talking about an aggressive Democrat majority in Virginia who now deams offensive speech issued towards them something that should be treated as an act of  criminality.

Included in House Bill No. 1627, offered January 16, 2020 by Delegate Jeffrey M. Bourne (D-Richmond)….

If any person, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, or harass any person, shall use a computer or computer network to communicate obscene, vulgar, profane, lewd, lascivious, or indecent language, or make any suggestion or proposal of an obscene nature, or threaten any illegal or immoral act, he shall be is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. A violation of this section may be prosecuted in the jurisdiction in which the communication was made or received or in the City of Richmond if the person subjected to the act is one of the following officials or employees of the Commonwealth: the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.
— § 18.2-152.7:1. Harassment by computer; penalty

Public officials, candidates, government employees can and have called taxpaying constituents everything from stupid, uninformed, racists, haters, fascists, religious bigots, homophobes and worse, but the thought of someone calling them something mean could soon become a criminal offense punishable by up to 12 months in jail, a fine of up to $2,500, or both.

Virginia Democrats appear to believe the citizenry must show them due reverence and respect they believe they (as “public servants”) are due, and we may soon have our First Amendment right of free speech criminalized when it comes time for any kind of Constitutionally protected dissent. And let’s be real, while we all have our crazies, liberals are far and away more rude, obscene, vulgar, profane, lewd, lascivious, publicly display indecent language, making suggestions or proposals of an obscene nature (i.e. “fuck yourself”) than anything you’ll see or hear at a conservative and/or Republican gathering.

And as is the ongoing pattern, overreaching Democrats will high five themselves when H.B. 1627 passes but seeing how politics IS cyclical, there will be a Republican majority in Virginia again and these same Democrats will be whining how their inability to hurl an insult is a violation of their freedom of speech.

Well, until Democrats demand future Republicans repeal that law, fuck you.
