        No. It is deplorable to offer nothing BUT thoughts and prayers and to fail to take any meaningful action to prevent gun violence. And deplorable to run such a fucking moronic headline.

        In the absence of anything substantive (i.e. limiting access to assault weapons and other gun control measures), the "thoughts and prayers" meme is not only hollow and empty, it is horribly hypocritical...

        Not the point, @WSJ . The point is that @gop has ONLY thoughts and prayers to offer. WHAT IS NEEDED IS SOME COMMON SENSSE GUN LEGISLATION.

        What an absolutely disingenuous and idiotic interpretation of the idea that thoughts and prayers are not enough to help the victims of mass shootings.

        The only thing deplorable is this article. I said before that WSJ should be embarrassed to publish an article pushing such a transparent, inflammatory culture-war agenda.

        Dems are not anti prayer. We just happen to think it isn’t the only solution to a plague of gun violence.

        Matthew 6:5 King James "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men." Offering Twitter prayers is all about you, not the victims. DO SOMETHING!
