Good to know small-government conservatives want the government to tell us when we should pray.

The Hanover County Board of Supervisors in Virginia passed a resolution Nov 24. that urged and encouraged citizens to pray on Thanksgiving.

Wayne Hazzard, the chairman of the board and a self-described “Christian conservative tea-party Republican,” told the board: “Christians who formed our nation celebrated days of thanksgiving to God. The Jamestown and Plymouth colonists recognized that they were sustained only by God’s providence and celebrated Thanksgiving feasts,” notes the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Hazsard later added: “And these days of an enemy from outside of this country as well as people from within who would attempt to remove all recognition of God from public life, we offer this proclamation as a reminder that the United States has always acknowledged our nation is dependent on God’s grace and providence.”

    Virgina: A few places are nice but the rest of the state is a backward racist anti-intellectual dump.

      clearly.

      Just as northern and southern California are two different states, so are northern Virginia and the rest of Virginia. Overall, the DC suburbs are much more liberal than the rest of the state. It’s killing us that both houses are controlled by the GOP. The Democratic governor can’t get a damn thing done.

        Do you live in Virgina? I haven’t been there but I have a lot of friends and family who live just outside of DC on the Virgina side and they tell me that the difference is night and day between where they live and the rest of the state. Believe it or not the only two Republican bases are in Southern California and Central Valley. One is in Orange County the other is in towns like Fresno. But unlike other Republican held districts Orange County and the Central Valley have accepted refugees from Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

    So this is what public officials were elected to do?
    Superstitious buffoons, all of them.

    Maybe a resolution urging men to shave and brush ones teeth on Thanksgiving is also in order…

    This is just so wrong. I would not want my tax money being squandered this way. Don’t these self-righteous phonies have actual issues to deal with? Schools to pay for? Stuff that actually matters?

    • whatthe46 November 27th, 2015 at 19:55

      um, nope. I can’t stand being told what to do. I really can’t.

      • The Original Just Me November 27th, 2015 at 20:24

        Just shut up woman and get me another beer from the frig. Damn, I’m glad I’m 1.500 miles away from you right now . Ha Ha.

      Jesús had more to do with getting the food on their table than Jesus did.

    And how did that praying thing work out for the Jamestown Folks ?

    • Dwendt44 November 27th, 2015 at 21:54

      Last I heard, they ended up committing cannibalism toward the very end.

      • The Original Just Me November 27th, 2015 at 22:30

        I’ll get back to you later about the tasting of human body parts. Giggle, Giggle.

      • The Original Just Me November 28th, 2015 at 13:26

        Okay, sinus has slowed down, throat has cleared up. lungs are working again. I think I’m going to live. Back to Jamestown. Yup, I have read 3 or 4 accounts of what they think happened there. People eating was definitely on the menu towards the end. It seems the bulk of the population were rich folks that had no idea of how to work or take care of themselves. They did not take enough slaves and indentured servants with them because it cost too much. Then they took a lot of fancy rich type of food instead of staples. It was a made for disaster. DNA testing of native Indians from around that area shows some of the lower class people did survive.

    Thanksgiving was actually declared a holiday to celebrate the ratification of the Constitution…the resulting turkey meal has nothing to do with the first meal with the Natives, they shared corn, fish and shellfish with other wild veggies.

    You pray ..I’ll take up a collection

      I have generated 74,000 dollars so far this year working online and I am a full time student. I am attached with an online business entity that I heard about and I have earned such great cash. It is really user friendly and I feel myself lucky to have that option. Why not try this. klm..

    Yup, it was all God. Those godless natives totally didn’t have anything to do with it.

    Exhibit A as to what an “education” built around a belief in the supernatural will get you.

  13. Böcker November 28th, 2015 at 08:42

  14. fredoandme November 28th, 2015 at 10:39
