'This Government Is Not God': Marjorie Taylor Green Explains Why She Refused to Honor Those Who Pro

[Initech]

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to award Congressional Gold Medals to the Capitol Police, the D.C. police, and the Smithsonian Institution in recognition of their service in protecting the U.S. Capitol on January 6, when it was attacked and overrun by Trump-loving insurrectionists bent on preventing Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s electoral victory.

Only 12 House members voted against the resolution, all of them Republicans. Among them was right-wing conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia, who took to Facebook following the vote to explain that she had opposed it because, among other things, the resolution referred to the Capitol as “the temple of our American Democracy,” which she felt was an insult to God.

“There were a few things in this bill that really bothered me and caused me to vote ‘no,'” she said. “Number one: Nancy Pelosi called the Capitol ‘a temple.’ You know, it’s the Democrats that worship government as if government is some kind of God. And the government will never be God, and it can never be God. There’s only one God and he created all things that we know and see and hear and feel and experience in our life. God created creation. This government is not God and this Capitol is not a temple. I will not vote for that. I will not give that a stamp of my approval, and I know for a fact that people back home in my district in Georgia will not give that a stamp of their approval. We do not believe the Capitol is a temple, so therefore I cannot vote for that.”

This woman is the word "deplorable" personified.

And no, we don't view the government as a god, you idiot.

10. Temple of democracy. Not the government.What a moron

As Americans we should all believe in democracy anywhere in the world. It’s got nothing to do with who is in the government

[Irish_Dem]

20. Exactly what I was going to post. Temple to Democracy. But she hates Democracy too.

In addition to being stupid.

[blugbox]

22. So stupid

So basically it's our fault for separating church and state and ALSO for making government our God.

Doesn't even matter if it makes sense anymore or not. Blame the Dems.

[Diamond_Dog]

9. I wonder if I called her a stupid ass if she could grasp the metaphor.

Good lord... she is Gohmert-level stupid.

Ms. Greene... some lessons for you:

If I called you an asshole that would be a metaphor.
If I called you a piece of shit that would be a metaphor.
If I called you a moron that would be a literal truth.

[Vinnie From Indy]

Well stated!

[Docreed2003]

12. You're right Ms Greene, Government is not God

So please do us all a solid favor and stop referring to God or using religious excuses as this government functions. No more bashing abortion or LGBTQ rights or any other bull crap from you.

[sop]

13. These are the same confused imbeciles who will argue America was founded as a Christian nation

every time they want their prayers mandated in public schools, their ten commandments displayed in every county courthouse, women's reproductive rights criminalized by their Supreme Court because it's against their "God's will" and all their other christian beliefs codified into law.

[Claire Oh Nette]

15. She's so phucking dumb

The Bay Area has two Water Temples, one on the Peninsula.

She does know that Jewish houses of worship are Temples, right?

Pour her a Shirley Temple. Maybe she'll choke on the cherry.

[Solly Mack]

16. She needs busy work.

[enki23]

17. Of course, nationalistic worship is exactly what the pledge and anthem are for

.

[EleanorR]

18. No, it's because they want 1/6 disappeared or rewritten as some lark by patriots

The god thing is another inane right-wing talking point parroted to cause alarm in their crazy evangelical base.

[StClone]

19. "This Government Is Not God" And Greene's demented nuttery is not a religion

It is warped, selfish, misguided, mess of anti-this and anti-that crazy which has no place in the world let alone in an elected official's mind making policy.

[Diamond_Dog]

21. Isn't it way past time

For Jamie Farr to hit the gong and for the hook to come out and drag this idiot off the stage ...

[demtenjeep]

23. q bert says what?

she is a fool

[sanatanadharma]

24. Temple, Georgia

Temple, Georgia is located in northeastern Carroll County, incorporated in 1883.



I guess she is not an advocate of democracy as heaven is certainly not a democracy.
To some Christians, heaven is not even a meritocracy because the elect were pre-chosen.
Jesus said 'render onto Caesar...', but she can't even do that by giving metals to the legions.

[sinkingfeeling]

25. Okay, will someone please get her a Webster's dictionary now.
