Speechless

[mware]

Eric Cantor ✔ @GOPLeader The House will vote tomorrow morning to affirm the right of all military chaplains to conduct services during the shutdown. 9:18 PM - 4 Oct 2013

[SumProVita]

This information needs to be shared with Rush...etc...

ASAP!

[Mercat]

We all need to start praying. Where’s Emil Kapaun when we need him? He managed to keep the faith alive in a North Korean prison camp. I’m hoping that the priests involved defy this horrible order and start getting arrested.

[HiTech RedNeck]

How about let’s get speech again... towards God.

This can’t be just about Roman Catholic chaplains and “Mass” celebrations. It also would logically apply to evangelical ministers and the kinds of worship services they conduct.

[Beagle8U]

More satire?

[ClearCase_guy]

I can't believe I'm taking the other side here, but part of the point is that people (priests or whatnot) are not being paid and you do not want a situation where a worker says, "My boss told me I wasn't being paid, but I still had to come to work -- to work for free -- or else he'd fire me." That becomes a legal nightmare, whether the claim is true or not.

I think priests are very unlikely to behave badly, but I think the government has a policy and is applying that policy to 100% of the furloughed workers, with no special exemptions or waivers for anyone in a "special" category (so, you see, it's not like Obamacare).

I'm not thrilled by it, but I think I understand why they are doing this.

[Tupelo]

Well Hey, Is it not what is expected from this administration?
It will be interesting to follow this story, if for no other reason than to see if these Priests really do have the courage of their convictions. Or are they like the GOPe, all talk and no cattle.

[ConservativeInPA]

Democrats are always going after clingers and ignoring the constitution and our God giving freedoms. Tyranny I say, Tyranny. It is time to revolt.

[muir_redwoods]

What a great photo op that would make, government thugs dragging priest away with communion hosts being defiled. This government is cruising for a fall.

[Conspiracy Guy]

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

[I want the USA back]

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.

[shibumi]

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?)

[AlexW]

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.

[txrefugee]

Until now, these priests hadn’t figured out that the ungodly are now in control.
What are Christians going to do about it?

[oldbrowser]

I've heard of Marshall law being declared in a civil emergency.

This would be the first time I ever heard of MARXIST LAW being declared.

We are now on the verge of a full blown occupation.

[Lazamataz]

Gee, I wonder if the Muslim 5-times-a-day prayer and Mosque worship is also cancelled and the Imams threatened with arrest?

No wait, I know the answer to that one.

[Flick Lives]

“During the shutdown, it is illegal for them to minister on base and they risk being arrested if they attempt to do so.”

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.[1]

[Travis McGee]

Welcome to the USSA, comrades!

[Clump]

The free exercise of religion is only free if the government pays for it?
Wait I’m confused. /sar
