Democratic state Senate President Leroy Garcia kicked off the legislative session Tuesday with a rousing speech recalling the death and misery of a pandemic, and the division of a state and nation we are supposed to assume is not of his party’s making.
Gazing across the metaphorical ruins of our landscape, Garcia vowed to build back a more stronger and a just Colorado, and it appears he will do it all without God.
Apparently, Garcia does not need God, and so he omitted the Lord in reciting a famous phrase the Democrat borrowed from Republican President Lincoln.
Here’s the original passage from Lincoln’s second inaugural address, which was delivered after the Civil War.
“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
Here’s how Garcia butchered the quote:
“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
Watch Garcia’s whole dark and depressing speech here:
We don’t know what widows and orphans did to offend Garcia and the woke left, but world peace? How could Garcia strike God and world peace from Democrats’ plans to build back better?
If Democrats are our only hope to rebuild the state economy they leveled, and to heal the wounds they keep pouring salt into with their woke witch hunts and Unity Tour of Retribution against Trump, we’re going to need God now more than ever.
And world peace.
