A women’s choir known as Voices From the Heart performed what used to be a Christian gospel song or traditional African-American spiritual praising Jesus Christ. The performance took place at a Hillary Clinton campaign event last Saturday in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Instead of singing about Jesus, the women joyously sang the following:
“Woke up this mornin’ with my mind, stayin’ on Hillary
Woke up this mornin’ with my mind, stayin’ on Hillary
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah!”
The choir describes itself as “a 200-voiced women’s alternative chorus located in Portsmouth, NH. The chorus sings a rich mix of soulful music from many cultural and musical traditions.”
Needless to say, Jesus’ name was replaced with the word “Hillary” wherever applicable. I wonder what type of rich “cultural and musical traditions” this song came from?
If this doesn’t seem eerily familiar enough, the above performance is not the first time democrats have made use of religious music for campaign purposes. References of then Senator Obama as someone that would provide hope for countless Americans served as the central theme of Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Obama-themed campaign images and posters of traditionally messianic imagery became wildly popular in elections 2008 and 2012 and are still seen to this day.
To say the Democrat party uses religion and religious worship for the benefit of its agenda would be an understatement. Regardless of one’s position on the scientific data, one could argue that the conviction and devotion exhibited by believers of the climate change movement have major religious undertones.
Christian and former Democratic strategist Kirsten Powers once described her relationship with the Democratic party and its ideals before becoming a Christian:
“I think my whole life had centered on Democratic politics,” she told Howard Kurtz. “I was very much in that bubble. I worked in the Clinton administration so I had all these friends from there, and then in Democratic politics in New York, so that’s what we sort of bonded over — that was our religion, to a certain extent.”
Spectacles like the Hillary hymn and the Obama are not the first of their kind and they’ll likely not be the last. Let’s just hope voters will be spared from here on out until election day.
