Biden Wants Pastors, Rabbis & Nuns to Tell Their Flocks: More Gun Control Is Moral Thing to Do
The Blaze / The Associated Press ^ | May 7, 2013 | Billy Hallowell

Vice President Joe Biden has a commandment for pastors, rabbis and nuns: He wants them to tell their flocks that enacting gun control is the moral thing to do. But another vote may have to wait until Congress wraps up work on an immigration overhaul.

Biden met for two-and-a-half hours Monday with more than a dozen leaders from various faith communities – Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh, to name a few. Both Biden and the faith leaders encouraged each other not to give up on what has been an arduous and thus far fruitless effort by Biden and President Barack Obama to pass new gun laws in the wake of December’s schoolhouse shooting in Connecticut....

I had the Methodist church try to tell me the same thing in the mid 1970s. Haven’t been back since.

That’s funny. I want Priests and Nuns to tell Joe that killing babies is immoral and he should stop it.

I can tell you now that if my priest told me to get rid of my guns I would tell him to tell me about the Lord, not to stick his nose in my business about an inanimate object sitting in my home harming no one.

Those who turn their weapons into plow shares will plow for those who don’t.

I got an broadcast email from Frankin Graham saying the White House called him for support on gun control. He said he answered that there is violence because the hearts of men are evil.

That's interesting - the church some friends of mine go to has a gun range on-site. Wait until they see this - I should be able to hear the "LoL" all the way over here.

Someone tell Slow Joe it was a lot of pastors and clergy who picked up arms in the Revolution and led their flocks to fight the British.

I want them to tell their flock to each send me a pound of fifty dollar bills. I act with equal moral authority.

Mr. “Kill the Baby” Biden, wants us to go easy on the criminals.

He won’t lift a finger to protect the most innocent, but will do all that is possible to empower punks, thugs, drug dealers, rapists, thieves, and murderers.

You can trash gun-rights advocates, but keep your mouths shut about homosexuality.

It’s seperation of church and state, not seperation of state and church... BIG difference.

Why in their eyes is it OK to abort the future of America, but not OK to arm the present America??

“Bill Donohue comments on a White House meeting on gun control:

Yesterday, Vice President Joe Biden implored about 20 religious leaders to press the moral issues behind gun control; it lasted two-and-a-half hours. There were representatives from all major U.S. religions, some liberal and some conservative. News stories only mentioned one Catholic at the meeting, Sr. Marjorie Clark.

Sr. Clark is one of seven “nuns on the bus” who campaigned for President Obama last fall; only two nuns made the entire trip. She belongs to NETWORK, a dissident group of elderly nuns who are known for never siding with the pro-life community. Indeed, this group is so radical that its founder, Sr. Marjorie Tuite, was threatened with expulsion from her order after she signed a pro-abortion petition in the 1980s.”

I don’t think they’ll listen to him - he’s only Vice God.

The words Joe Biden and moral should never be used in the same sentence. It then becomes an oxymoron with Joe providing the moron part.

Biden, being a feminist, probably believed the Soviet Union to be a moral government.

Getting rid of Joe Biden is the moral thing to do!
And that’s a big Blinkin deal!
