KS legislature prays for "dark spiritual areas" in KS - which happen to be Democratic strongholds.

From Rep. Paul Davis's Facebook page:

As we embark upon Lent, please take a moment to read and share this. Governor Brownback's Capitol spiritual leader (who leads a weekly Bible study in the Governor's office and a monthly Saturday church service on the 2nd floor of the Capitol) has issued a new prayer list. The quality of this image is bad, but under "Intercessor's Challenges" the top request is to "target prayer for dark spiritual areas of Southeast Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas City Kansas, and North Johnson County."

This is truly offensive. As a lifelong resident of Lawrence, I can say firsthand that it is a place rooted deeply in spirituality, where caring for your neighbors is BOTH practiced and preached.

Do you think it a coincidence that all of these "dark" areas are represented by Democrats in the Kansas Legislature?

PS - The second to last prayer request under Intercessor's Challenges is for the restructuring of the Kansas judicial system (a major component of Governor Brownback's 2013 agenda).

1. Don't tell me. Let me guess the demographics

of those "dark spiritual areas."

Also, when I read your headline I thought, "they're praying to get more dark spiritual areas"? I mean, you pray for rain and you pray for health and success, and you pray for "dark spiritual areas," right?

3. And for those of you who actually know Johnson County,

I've been referring to southern Johnson County as "The Heart of Darkness" for at least a decade now. I hate going into Olathe. Ewww.

4. The prayer is for NORTH Johnson County

That's where all of us heathens live.

I try to avoid driving south of 95th street.

5. Hey! I'm in south JoCo!

You guys keep your dark spiritual forces away from us!

Seriously though, I saw this yesterday, too. Not much that Brownback does surprises me anymore. He is a disgusting person, and fortunately, I have some Republican friends who feel the same way about him.

6. LOL and you keep your dark force GOP nuts away from us

7. I know. I should have made it clear

that in my opinion the problem is Southern Johnson County, aka The Heart of Darkness

Besides, I lived south of 95th. 103rd and Nieman to be precise.

8. I got my undergrad in Lawrence and miss it terribly, I'm in Topeka now

and happy to spread my liberalism around!
