I'm definitely not pushing for a defense of the government. I see two paths here:
1) Priests employed by the government cannot trespass on military bases during the shutdown, and therefore may not perform services on the base. <-- I understand why the gov't would say this.
2) Priests cannot go to a neutral place and act as priests <-- totally indefensible and unAmerican.

Priests banned from military installations. But scumbags like the Navy Yard shooter are given free reign?

Yes, of course. The country, under our fearless leader, has adopted the policy of actively suppressing all things Christian, and promoting all things jihadi.
You know I’m right.

You understand wrongly. They are doing it as punishment not to avoid a law suit.

The word needs to get out. Fox is reporting, but except for the Daily Caller I have not seen it anywhere else. Although I have not checked the UK papers yet.
Catholic League has not even picked it up yet.

House leadership should go to a federal judge for warrant to arrest whoever gave that illegal order.
1st amendment covers this.

So Priests who aren’t getting paid are not allowed to minister to soldiers who aren’t allowed to announce their faith.
The Emperor Nero cloak fits The Usurper better each day.
(Have they started digging catacombs under the bases yet?)

Trespass?!? Most installations are open posts. Who else are they arresting visiting an installation? Military police enforce order on Installations — are they being told to arrest people who come on post? Wondering . . .
To: mware
What else do you expect from a Communist government?
The brain dead citizens know nothing about a Marxist government. They have no clue as to what it was before Ronaldo told the Commies to “Tear Down This Wall”.
It was a great experience for me to live in post Communist central Europe.
America is about to experience the USSA.

As I have said, priests have died to give the sacrament to people. Arrests, that is a piece of cake.

I think just arresting one base commander would kinda put a stop to this. The news would get to the boy-king real quick.
Make sure all the media was there when you frogmarched said commander off to a cell.

We now need a gubmint OK to practice ones faith?

Your position might be plausible if someone other than the current dictator wannabe resided in the White House.
With this pResident, none of his actions are benign or rational. There is always some evil motivation behind his actions.
To: ClearCase_guy
Up yours, Cracka's!!
I also think I understand why he's doing it!

I think I heard this correctly. Members of the House will be having a news conference to discuss this issue.
I think it just hit the fan folks.
