I spent the morning at the VA trying to get an ID card. It's amazing that something so simple has to be made so difficult. No ID card will be forthcoming. I'll try again next month.

If WWII happened on Barky’s watch we would all be speaking German right now, except the Jews wouldn’t be speaking anything.

Christians who are also democrats will most likely choose to abandon Christianity to keep their main religion, Liberalism.

The Veil of the Tabernacle perhaps?

Hm, I wonder what would be made of someone using as their standard greeting He is risen!

This is happening in the USA, and nobody who could possibly do anything about it even cares. Most people are just waiting around for the gay pride parade and/or the welfare check.

Orders from the top. Eliminate all vestiges of Christianity from the military, and then from the country.

But they’ll be wishing they could vote for Barky.

I went to the VA Hospital in Iron Mountain today on business. While there I stopped at the Chapel and found pinky-purple curtains with mesh at the top, covering the altar. (You know the type. They use them between sick patients in the hospital). I stopped in my tracks, shocked at what I saw. I peeked behind the curtain, and found what used to be the welcoming part of the chapel, the Cross, a picture of Jesus, and other Christian icons familiar to the majority of Americans. I found Chaplain Bob Mueller, to ask what the meaning was of this change. This is what he told me. A couple of months ago, an order came down from Washington DC to cover all things associated with Christianity in the VA. Their solution is to cover everything in all the VA Chapels across the country. Norton also said that the chaplain was told to stop talking about Jesus, and to stop reading Scripture out loud.
The repression of Christianity isnt limited to Iron Mountain, but has been reported in VA facilities all over the country...

What I want to know is what happened to the covenant the Chaplain had with God? He’s getting paid to deny Jesus.

No ID card will be forthcoming. I'll try again next month.I called the VA last week regarding a new ID and was told that ALL vets are automatically getting new IDs.
They supposedly began sending them out last month.

The Veil of the Tabernacle perhaps? More like the curtain drawn around a dying patient.

I'm still waiting to get my picture taken for the first one.
I'm not having much luck with that. Between equipment problems and people problems, I'm not sure it will ever happen.

Orders from the head muzzie.
Notre Dame did the same thing when he slithered into South Bend.
But he’s not a muslim. Just ask his media.

Oh well. At least June us sexual perversion month. Priorities, you know.

This is revolting.
I get that not all serving personnel are Christian, nor are all veterans. That is fine - there are good people out there regardless.
Chaplains though, are some of the most amazing people in the services. Always there, with advice, encouragement and good humor. Chapels, if you are lucky enough to have a dedicated one instead of crowding into the mess hall, are places of silent contemplation. They are not something to hide away or be ashamed of.
