The lean to the left in this country is, well, despicable.
People are so worried about being politically correct and not offending the LGBTQ community or the illegal immigrants living here or minority religious groups, they are putting the concerns of actual citizens and residents at risk.
Well, Dave Lawson, a military veteran and state Senator for Delaware, was in a situation where the Quran was being read prior to a state Senate meeting in April 2017, and he finally hit his breaking point.
Lawson is an Air Force Veteran and did his tour of duty in Vietnam.
After the session opened with a prayer from the Quran, Lawson stood up to protest the reading.
He stated, “We just heard from the Quran, which calls for our very demise.
“I fought for this country, not to be damned by someone that comes in here and prays to their God for our demise.
“I think that’s despicable.”
What you did not see in that video is the end of the session, when Lawson was actually called out for speaking his mind.
Then-Delaware Senate President Pro Tempore David McBride (D-New Castle) ended the session by ripping Lawson.
He stated, “I have never been of the mind to censure the words of other members, but I also believe deeply that words have consequences.
“To criticize the sacred prayer of another religion from the floor of the Senate strikes me as antithetical to everything we ought to stand for as lawmakers.”
McBride went on to say, “I am personally offended that our guests from the Muslim community and anyone else here in the chamber today would feel anything less than welcomed with opened arms.
“And for our guests today to be branded as anti-American when our First Amendment of our country’s Constitution explicitly guarantees the freedom of religion is both ironic and deeply sad to me.”
When McBride stated that he was “hopeful we can move past this sad chapter in the body’s history,” Lawson told him he was “ignorant to what’s going on.”
The War Veteran was 100% RIGHT, in his criticism of the Prayer from the Quran ! This book, UNLIKE the Bible, teaches that people of OTHER Faiths, are INFIDELS. They are not to be respected, and in some cases, they MUST convert or suffer death. The BIBLE is what should have read at that Senate meeting , NOT the Quran !
Lawson was being kind, McBride is beyond stupid.
Law of 1956 forbids Muslims from holding office.
What he said was true and correct.
MC.BRIDE ..You need to go to Iran for a year and see what Muslims do to respect your religion maybe you will get your head or stoned to for your IGNORANT
LAWSON was right YOU were wrong !!!!
Lawson got it right. Mc Bribe has his pockets lined with our tax payer monies Obama flew over to Iran. The Democrats are on a silent campaign to shut down Christian and Jewish houses of worship while quietly allowing mosques to remain open. Freedom of religion is one of the priorities the Muslims want to eradicate from the constitution, well much like the Democratic Party they want to eradicate the entire constitution! Mc Bribe I hope you lose your next election! EQUAL JUSTICE, TRUMP 2020, CONVENTION OF STATES, TERM LIMITS!
Senator Lawson was right. Islam wants the western culture destroyed. I am amazed about all the people that support these fringe groups thinking when these groups win, they will be honored and rewarded.
McBride will be the end of this country and doesn’t understand Islam.
I learned from Gen. George Patton, “Know Your Enemy”! The Muslims are practicing “Hijrah”. Which means “Conquer by immigration”.
We let them in, then they destroy us from within.
I’ve been in Istanbul, Turkey, and maybe “Y’all” should go there also. See how you are received.
Live with their rules, or die! Yet we are to let them “Do anything they please”?
Only if you are a “FOOL”!
IIt Thank you for your stand. Thank you for your service from a USMC vet with three campaign ribbons starting with Korea in 1953. Semper Fi
He should have then challenged them to see if they have any intent of following our Constitution
Why didn’t the veteran read a prayer from the Bible? The Democrats are so hypocritical about religion. They spout the ‘separation of church and state’ and the 1st Ammendent,let a Muslim lead a prayer from the Quron,but deny the right of Christians to pray from the Christian Bible.
People you better get ready for it muslims are taking over the country. They are already being given special privileges.
They are teaching islam in some public schools.
When was the last time you have heard a muslime leader condemn muslimes for killing infidels? When have you heard them condemn when another high leader says infidels must submit to muslimes? And that they have the right to steal infidels property or kill them because the quan tell them to?
