Mike Johnson Sounds Off: Is America’s Newest Culture War Target the Religious Right?

So, picture this: a weekend bash in Washington dubbed a “Christian-nationalist hootenanny”—yes, that’s an actual phrase—dusted with prayers, speeches, and a president actually gripping a Bible the right way (miracles do happen). Now, whether it was a grand ol’ faith-healing session for a stumbling administration or just a well-scripted spectacle, one has to wonder: when did politics and piety shake hands so tightly that even a rabbi and a bishop take the mic together? And can we talk about the curious origins of “Christian nationalism,” apparently conjured up by none other than George Soros in some spooky Carpathian lair—because why not? Amidst blessings for a palace nicknamed the Gilded Palace of Sin and predictions that make us scratch our heads, this event was either a prelude to something bigger or a bizarre dance on the edge of political theater and spiritual spectacle. Intrigued? Yeah, me too. LEARN MORE

There was a full-on Christian-nationalist hootenanny in Washington over the weekend. I can’t escape the feeling that it also was a faith-healing ceremony for the visibly failing administration. There was an obviously edited video of the president reading a Bible. He was even holding it right side up, which the administration can list among its many triumphs. The speakers included a Catholic bishop and a rabbi, so don’t go around saying that the whole thing was aimed at keeping the GOP’s Bible-banging, snake-handling base in the boat while everybody else is going over the side. In fact, “Christian nationalism” itself is something George Soros cooked up at his brainwashing facility in the Carpathians. Just ask Speaker Moses. From MS Now:

The people who are naysayers, who have coined the term “Christian nationalism” as a pejorative and derogatory label, are trying to silence the influence and voices of Christians, and I think that’s wildly inappropriate.

The state of Christian nationalism was best illustrated by a guy named Eric Metaxas, who attempted to bestow a blessing on the Gilded Palace of Sin (thanks, Gram).

When our nation was still young, three decades after the revolution ended, the cause of liberty, once again, would triumph with a fire of rockets and the water of the Chesapeake met. It was 30 years after we won our independence, the British challenged us in the War of 1812, burning parts of the city named after George Washington. You may be familiar with that city. They burned part of the city including the White House, which at that time, if you can believe it, did not yet have a ballroom. Yes. It’s hard to believe it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand.

I’m choosing to believe the whole thing was merely the warm-up act for the UFC card to be staged on the White House lawn on June 14. They both had roughly the same relationship to the teachings of an itinerant first-century rabbi who would have taken one look at this mob on the Mall and reached again for the whip he used to drive out money changers. His Father’s house is a house of prayer, but they have made it a den of morons.
