But, at least the republicans won't have to "say" the dems are anti- American, God hating scum, who bully elderly WWII vets,other vets, priests, and military families-They can show them that these things are true.

This is going very fast.
B. Hussein O. has to get every thing in as quick as possible - he is power-drunk and quite possibly insane, IMHO.
NSA - I'm just a computer jockey so you don't need to close down the neighborhood - just call and we'll straighten it out. You have the number.
An economist (can't remember his name-he was on a radio program) I heard this past week said WW III will be an economic war.
I think this may be B.O.'s aim. He's talking about the debt ceiling quite a bit lately.
People I know are afraid and angry. Not good, when more and more people are afraid and angry at the same time.
When I get afraid or mad about something, I eat lots of ice cream.
"We DO need another HERO!" sung by Tina Turner in Mad Max movie.
I would like to see them penalize ministers from having Christian religious services in chapels around the world.
I wonder if they’ll be having any homosexual wedding ceremonies at West Point this weekend. Maybe they can get a former president to attend. /sarcasm
Remember that RATS do not believe in God.
Catholics in Ireland didn’t follow their orders aka English Penal Code. Many Catholic priests who celebrated the Mass (Stone Masses) were killed for their faith.
So, what about non-catholic chaplains? Are they allowed to hold Sunday services?
Seriously, in a situation like this, it should be all hands on deck. Non-catholics should show up for mass in great numbers just to show that they won’t be pushed.
Chaplains are being pressured into shelving their beliefs in the name of political correctness; this is the perfect moment for them to push back even if it means putting your earthly job on the line. Catholics, non-catholics, and Jews too should stand together on this one.
Hooray for our brave chaplains!
It’s a sad day when our troops are more threatened by our own government than by the enemy.
Fortunately, our troop are afraid of neither. Pound sand, Zippy.
Its just sickening. What more can you say?
Oh PLEASE arrest a priest for celebrating mass on his own time. The images and cartoons would be priceless.
I have a copy of the special regulations issued to deal with this shutdown. Volunteering for work — any work — is specifically forbidden.
I understand the labor law issues behind that rule. I don't agree, but some of those laws date back to the Depression and are nothing new.
What **IS** new is that they are being applied to clergy working as Department of Defense civilian employees. Since most chaplains have been uniformed military personnel for most of our history, there isn't a lot of precedent here, certainly not in recent history, though I can think of some potential precedents during World War I.
There are significant issues of freedom of religion here — both the government's obligations toward providing free exercise of religion for servicemembers in foreign countries and the obligations of these civilian clergy to follow the dictates of their own faith.
It may not be a huge issue in the United States where Roman Catholics can go off-post to Mass, but the Archdiocese for the Military Services says this will be a major issue in South Korea and Japan where servicemembers may not be able to attend Mass at all.
I think there's a good chance that a frustrated Roman Catholic servicemember can win a lawsuit here which may have the side benefit of getting a Supreme Court rule reaffirming the obligation of the government to provide chaplains to military personnel since it is the only way to provide for their free exercise of religion under some circumstances.
What President Obama meant for evil may still turn out for good contrary to his intent.

This is why I love FreeRepublic. We are always at least 2 or 3 days ahead of everybody else.
If Obama is anything he is Muslim.
