He does indeed work in mysterious ways. I’m talking about the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele. Mystery surrounds him like the Shroud of Turin. That’s why we have to be grateful for the gift that Steele represents and not question it. No one could do what he is doing – for the Democratic Party. And he couldn’t have come at a better time. So say a prayer for Chairman Steele who recognizes the divine role he has been sent to play:<\/p>\n

Steele:<\/strong> God, I really believe, has placed me here for a reason because who else and why else would you do this unless there’s something inside of you that says right now you need to be here to do this?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Such poignant questions. Who else and why else? There must be a reason that Steele is here sabotaging the interests of his party. That reason is becoming clearer with every passing day: God is a Democrat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why else would He send a GOP leader who praises ACORN<\/a>?
\nWhy send a leader who concedes the elections of 2010<\/a> ten months in advance?
\nWhy send a chairman who tells the critics in his own party to “shut up?”<\/a><\/em>
\nWell, to be fair, they want him to shut up too<\/a>.
\nAnd what did Democrats do to deserve a Republican leader who is bankrupting his party<\/a> and alienating donors<\/a>?<\/p>\n

God’s messenger, Michael Steele claims to be a real Tea Bagger. In fact he promised to bring “change in a tea bag.”<\/em> That was last year when he also asked a college audience to wear his “hat of an idea,”<\/em> and announced that “the era of apologizing for Republican mistakes of the past is now officially over,”<\/em> and bragged that he was “going beyond cutting edge.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Steele’s recent public comments on his party’s prospects this year extend beyond his opinion that they don’t look too good. He actually passes a sort of judgment on them questioning whether they are even ready to assume power. He says it’s something that he is “assessing and evaluating now.”<\/em> Where he got the impression that that is the role of a party chairman, I don’t know (from God?). Mere mortal party chiefs generally understand their duties as raising money and getting more members elected, not shaping policy and anointing candidates. But Steele rises above such restrictions, freely criticizing his flock and lecturing them on political matters.<\/p>\n

If you think this is just too good to be true, reflect for a moment on what Steel told us<\/a> last March that confirms the mystery in his ways:<\/p>\n

Steele:<\/strong> If I do something, there’s a reason for it. Even, it may look like a mistake, a gaffe. There is a rationale, there’s a logic behind it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That settles it. Do not dare to question God’s servant. He is playing on level that far exceeds your ability to comprehend. He even has the gift of clairvoyance. Just yesterday, after taking heat from his party comrades for exploiting his position for personal gain and promoting his book instead of tending to party business, Steele shot back that he had written the book before he had become party chairman. But miraculously, he must have known in advance<\/a> a multitude of events in 2009 that occurred after he had become chairman but were still included in the book he now says was written before. If that isn’t evidence of sainthood, what is?<\/p>\n

So say a another prayer for Michael Steele. He is a treasure for which we must all be grateful. And be thankful that Democrats everywhere have him working on their behalf in the name of God. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
