A group of enraged protesters exploded in anger after a chaplain prayed in the name of Jesus at a town hall meeting in Louisiana hosted by U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy.
The verbally-abusive crowd also heckled a Vietnam War veteran who attempted to lead the group in the pledge of allegiance.
It was one of the most heinous acts of un-American, anti-Christian behavior I’ve ever seen, folks.
Louisiana State chaplain Michael Sprague and the unidentified Vietnam War veteran should be commended for maintaining their composure in the face of such verbal barbarism.
The Feb. 22 town hall meeting in Metairie, was quickly overrun by the angry mob – much like other town hall meetings hosted by Republican lawmakers across the country.
The Mainstream Media would have us believe the unruly demonstrations are part of an organic, grassroots effort.
But I sincerely doubt many in the mob were actually residents of Louisiana – because I know the good people of Louisiana and nobody behaves like that in the Bayou State.
Folks are raised right in Cajun Country. There’s no way anybody would embarrass their mommas by acting the fool in public.
I’d be willing to bet a cup of Community Coffee that the Jesus-Hating rabble-rousers were shipped in from some God-forsaken place like Berkeley or Brooklyn.
Chaplain Sprague had barely invoked the name of the Almighty when the heckling began.
“Pray on your own time. This is our time,” someone shouted. “Amen. Let’s get on with it.”
Others chanted, “Separation of church and state” and so on and so forth. Someone filmed the prayer and words do not do justice to the amount of hate directed at the chaplain.
“I’ve never been shouted down throughout a time of prayer like that,” Chaplain Sprague told me. “I’ve never been in a situation like that. It’s sad there wasn’t honor and respect for God.”
But they became absolutely unhinged when he concluded his prayer in the name of Jesus.
“Wow, they booed the name of Jesus,” Cassidy said in remarks reported by the Times Picayune.
I thought several of the agitators were going to spontaneously combust.
The chaplain said the overwhelming majority of people in the room were causing a disruption – but he harbors no ill will toward the mob.
“I’m not mad at people. My heart is bigger than that,” he said. “My heart’s prayer is that everybody be treated with dignity and respect.”
The chaplain was especially disappointed by how the mob insulted the Vietnam War veteran.
“There was a lot of shouting. Some turned their backs. Many didn’t stand or put their hand on their heart,” he said.
Infuriating, but not surprising
As I wrote in “The Deplorables’ Guide to Making America Great Again” liberals have a strong aversion to President Trump, Jesus and Old Glory.
But I still have hope in America.
Is it possible that liberals will one day pledge allegiance to the flag instead of burn the flag? Is it possible that liberals will one day revere the name of Jesus? Is it possible that liberals will one day respect President Trump?
It is possible, but to be honest – it would take a miracle of biblical proportions -- a yuge miracle.
This was a set up group. There’s audio circulating of them preparing the ‘spontaneous protest’ ahead of time.
Underneath all this stuff, it’s a spiritual warfare, set up or not. We’re definitely in the Prelude to the End Times.
They should lead every town hall meeting in prayer and the Pledge.
I was ashamed that this happened in America. That one b*tch screaming, “Prayer! Prayer!” sounded like an old hen trying to squeeze out the largest egg ever.
We’re going to have to attend these meetings and turn things around. OTOH, it may be good for people to see the left for just who they are.

Were they[ the anarchists] kicked out of the meeting?
John 15:
18 “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. 19 The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.
And thats how you know when liberal loons invade a town hall..when they can’t hear the name GOD without having a major freak out..liberals despise God..it literally makes them melt..if this same man had praised Allah these same loons would have cried with excitement
Yhe mob Deserves the Kim Jong-un Tratment
Absolutely!
“You’ve got to work through that… You’ve got to stand up, let them yell themselves out.” …That is Chris Christie’s brilliant solution to behavior like that.
Commies always engage in such disruption. It is because there are so few. It is a way for them to puff up. Tea Party didn’t have to do that. They were always respectful

Icebergs from Hell will break through the surface long bwfore that happens.
Heartbreaking story. Poor lost USA.
Our Lord has plainly been rejected in our laws, culture, education and institutions.
We have been turned over to ourselves, and this is what it looks like. Still, we refuse to repent.
How long before people get so fed up that they give the leftists the self fulfilling prophesy they so dearly want?
At least not when they are still IN THE BAYOU STATE.........When the come to Florida on vacation, well that's another t'ang altogether............
People who “love” Satan usually hate the name of Jesus.
