CNN: Karen and Mike Pence's astonishing moral hypocrisy
CNN ^ | 01/20/2019 | Clay Cane

Posted on 01/29/2019 2:11:18 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Karen Pence, the wife of America's vice president, Mike Pence will be teaching art at a Christian school in Virginia that bans LGBTQ children and requires employees to declare their religious beliefs. Like a real-life setting for "The Handmaid's Tale," Immanuel Christian School insists applicants initial a pledge to "live a personal life of moral purity."

Listen to what else the pledge says: "I understand that the term 'marriage' has only one meaning; the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive covenant union as delineated in Scripture." It asserts that God intended sexual acts only between "a man and a woman who are married to each other." It identifies "moral misconduct" that would disqualify employees as premarital sex, cohabitation, extramarital sex, homosexual or lesbian sexual activity, polygamy, transgender identity, any other violation of the unique roles of male and female." This language is disgusting and insults millions of taxpaying American citizens, many who have served their country. That it is acceptable to the wife of the man who is a heartbeat away from the presidency should horrify and alarm all Americans.

Karen and Mike Pence are conservative, evangelical Christians who share beliefs about religion and politics. They have every right to do this. ("It's absurd that her decision to teach art to children at a Christian school, and the school's religious beliefs, are under attack," said Kara Brooks, a spokeswoman for Pence.) But consider Mike Pence's position of power in this country: He regularly stands shoulder to shoulder with his boss, Donald Trump. He has access to and can influence a President who is very interested in maintaining support among evangelicals.

Here is CNN's accusation of hypocrisy:

For all their professed beliefs, Pence, and his wife, show unwavering support for a man who has been married three times, divorced twice, has had five children with three women and who has been accused of (though denies) paying a porn star and a Playboy model hundreds of thousands of dollars to conceal affairs he'd had with them.

The hypocrisy here, and indeed from white evangelical Trump supporters, is astonishing. As of April, white evangelical support for Trump was at an all-time high: 75%. Disturbingly, as he left the White House, President Barack Obama enjoyed the favorable view of only 24% of white evangelicals.

Obama, a man who had no sex scandals, was never accused of sexual harassment, had two children with the same woman, couldn't crack 25% white evangelicals. Of course, race is a huge reason, but Hillary Clinton only received 16% of the white evangelical vote.

It’s also about Communism, CNN.

Evangelicals don’t like it.

Disgusting? Insulting? Horrifying? Alarming? Really???

Our domestic enemies are so drunk on the koolaid that black is white, up is down, and right is wrong. This only makes me happy within the knowledge that this must come to pass before the return of our Saviour. It's been foretold. Are you ready?

Of course, Obama's fanatical support of abortion had nothing whatsoever to do with that. It had to have been racism or something.

So... In their racist, forever-identity-politics, pigeon-hole world, white Evangelicals can only vote based on the marital history of a candidate, and not on their positions, or else they are a hypocrite.

Interesting that they have to separate out white Evangelicals form non-white. Are non-white Evangelicals not hypocrites for the same votes? Amazing how devoted they are to treating people differently by skin tone.

SSSSHHHHH!

Ignore the giant “Communism” behind the green curtain! White Evangelicals are racist hypocrites! The great CNN says so! Ignore that Hillary got LESS white Evangelical support than Obama; just know that white Evangelicals are racist hypocrites!

We knew this was coming.

When you listen to the comments about what Liberals would do to the Covington Kids (wood choppers, etc), we quickly grasp that the Libs would flock to the Colosseum every Saturday afternoon to see us fed to the lions.

And after a good day spent watching Christians die, they would head to their favorite pizza joint to eat and drink mugs of beer while they laughed about the fun they had at the "games."

Obama, a man who had no sex scandals . .

of the heterosexual kind

was never accused of sexual harassment, had two children with the same woman . . .

that's debatable

couldn't crack 25% white evangelicals.

subliminal message: Whites are crackers.

Of course, race is a huge reason, but Hillary Clinton only received 16% of the white evangelical vote.

So race is not a huge reason, but in Hillary's case, corruption is.

Perverts defend immorality and call the righteous evil and horrifying.

We are not the ones who have abandoned and hate purity and chastity and not humping anything that moves, we have not been the ones who encourage people to continue in their mental illnesses.

As was stated by another freeper in a different thread... those parents want and are PAYING to have their children taught there. The same cannot be said of other schools
