From CatholicVote.org:
Our government is out of control.
First, it was the World War II veterans who had to break down barriers to see the open air, un-attended memorial erected in their honor. A memorial which is on public land but is supported – including the National Park Service fee – with private funds. This week there was more security surrounding this memorial — just to keep elderly veterans out — than there was at our embassy in Benghazi the night it was attacked.
And for what? To inflict as much pain as possible through this government shutdown. It’s called Washington Monument Syndrome, and it’s pure political theater.
But now there’s a story just coming to light that takes things even further. According the Archdiocese for Military Services, GS and contract priests (who are paid by the federal government as independent contractors in places where there aren’t enough active-duty priests to meet the needs of Catholics in military service) are being forbidden from celebrating Mass, even on a volunteer basis.
That could never happen. Except when it is.
This is outrageous. It is a violation of the First Amendment. It is a prohibition of the free exercise of religion to order priests under penalty of arrest that they cannot volunteer their time to offer Mass to the faithful on base. This cannot be allowed to stand.
And read one line again: “This week there was more security surrounding this memorial — just to keep elderly veterans out — than there was at our embassy in Benghazi the night it was attacked.”
This is insanity writ large and purposely meant to be punishing.

Somehow I don’t see any priest obeying that. Wonder what tone deaf libtard(s) came up with that. One more proof the Lightbringer is unhinged; out of touch with reality.
We have lost our collective minds. I finally begin to admit: there is NO hope for this nation. Not unless we fragment into more independent states that refuse to bow to DC.

We didn’t see this kind of shit happening the last time the government was shut down. What’s so different this time? Oh, that’s right, I almost forgot, the ASSHOLE in the White House! He wasn’t in charge last time.
True colors. This shutdown is a good thing. It should be sustained until more people find out how much their insurance really is or the continued “glitches” and privacy issues erode confidence. The demorats are actually in a loose loose situation and the fascist nature of this regime is loosing cover.
More please.
Frak! That should read lose lose. Insert face palm here… twice.
Barack Obama is the type of guy that will kill your family for not dealing his drugs then tell you it’s your fault.
His chin high arrogance. His muslim beliefs. His I’m the high and all-mighty just does not go well here in Texas.
Why hasn’t someone with the big bucks brought this piece of human shit up to stand for his actions.
That it is… Chicago politics writ large…
