State Dept. website promotes Mike Pompeo speech as critics decry it

Savannah BehrmannWASHINGTON – A recent speech about “Being a Christian Leader” by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was promoted on the State Department’s homepage Monday, and has been met with criticism that it potentially violates the principle of separation of church and state enshrined in the Establishment Clause of the Constitution.

“Now, I know that even having just said that, I know some people in the media will break out the pitchforks when they hear that I ask God for direction in my work,” he continued.U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Former head of the National Jewish Democratic Council Aaron Keyak said that "There's obviously no issue with the Secretary of State being a leader, nor his being a proud Christian. But it's a problem that Secretary Pompeo thinks it's appropriate to put those two words together and hold an official State Department event on being a Christian leader."

This LAND of ours. This so called experiment. WE are neither a RELIGIOUS STATE nor are we FREE , recently in NYC, we are no longer allowed to speak TruthtoPower or use the English language as was meant to be! A pear is a pear/an ILLEGAL ALIEN is just that...ILLEGAL!!

Seriously? And you defend Trump ?..praying would be good for all of the Republicans...you’re shameless...

We were founded as a Judeo-christian nation but the alt left and Democrat mainstream media have been doing everything they can to attack our Christian values and heritage.

Good for Mike. This country needs more Christian leadership and fewer people attacking our core principles and values.

Now, look at his support of GENOCIDAL jairbolsonaro who is EXTERMINATING Indigenous Amazon Tribes so he can give the Amazonian Rain Forests to his vicious right-wing billionaire supporters, who are burning the rain forests to the ground.

Remember StateDept SecPompeo's support of Guatemalan Evangelical Preacher/General Rios Montt. Montt EXTERMINATED 250,000 Gentle Catholic Mayan Indians, STOLE THEIR LAND AND GAVE IT TO HIS EVANGELICAL FOLLOWERS.

Misprint... should say communist leader.

SCOTUSblog FBI StateDept CIA USArmy USNavy usairforce WTF? Why are you not do anything to stop this madness. 3 branches of Government and no one is minding the store. Wake up!

I did not know it was Christian to lie as he does daily?

Renjen10 I did not it was 'Christian' to lie

Freedom FROM religion!!!!

And it is a positive manifestation of religious bigotry in this administration.

Fun fact, 'separation of church and state' is nowhere in the Constitution, we just have the 'establishment clause' which the signers intended to be WAY more narrow than most people think. They actually used taxpayer money to fund a translation of the Bible ('The Founder's Bible')

“In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is error alone that needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”—Thomas Jefferson

Don’t care... how about that..

Being a Christian is not PC anymore.

Separation of church and state is actually a thing. But apparently not for these bozos.

Separation of Church and State was what came to my mind.

Now do the part about separation of church and state that actually matters. DO YOUR GODDAMN JOB.

Jenny Offill's Dept. of Speculation and the Myth of the Art MonsterIf you only know two sentences from Jenny Offill’s Dept. of Speculation, they are these: “My plan was to never get married. I was going to be an art monster instead.” These lines are quoted in Tumblr posts and Twitter bios, in a few nuanced essays like this one and dozens of dull manifestos. They’re cited in a Bustle listicle, if incorrectly: the art monster enters on the sixth page of Offill’s novel, not the first. On the first page of Dept. of Speculation, you’ll find the following: “Antelopes have 10x vision, you said. It was the beginning or close to it. That means that on a clear night they can see the rings of Saturn.” Which is just as fascinating, frankly, but hasn’t spurred a hundred wan thinkpieces.
