Political correctness taken to its insane extreme

Two military chaplains were forced out of a VA chaplain training program for quoting scripture and praying. The one-year training program is required for anyone wanting to work as a chaplain in a VA hospital.

According to one of them, when he referred to the Lord's Prayer in a training class, the instructor “angrily pounded her fist on the table and shouted, ‘Do not quote Scripture in this class.’”

Those two chaplains should have followed the pope's lead the other day when he visited a mosque in Turkey. They should have removed their shoes in the classroom, turned to face Mecca and bowed their heads in prayer --- making theirs audible to Allah. I guarantee the instructor's fine feathers would have quickly become unruffled.

There you have it folks, see what happens, and it was bound to happen, because this is what happens, slowly, bit by bit, when you elect a man who embraces communistic ideals, and has been surrounded by people of the same mindset all of his life...

He has fired over 200 Military officers so far, and God knows who he has replaced them with, and now this, evidence of where this nation is really headed...

This is Satan's time....The end times spoken of in the Bible....There is an evil that is slowly permeating this nation and the entire world, and it is growing, just like the evil slime river underneath NYC in one of the funny ghostbusters movies, only thing is, this ain't funny, it is very real...


excerpt:
4. In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school shooting, Klender mentioned during a group discussion on counseling that he would tell a parent that “there is evil in the world.” Dietsch retorted, “You don’t actually believe that do you?”

Thank God (oops, sorry) that we have watch dogs like Media Matters to protect us from ungodly (oops, did it again) practices like chaplains talking about scripture.

Media Matters is the devil's pawn.. it's all those other groups that are struggling to maintain religious freedoms from being stripped by the Communist Satan..

I'm progressively finding the Italian Mafia's way of dealing with idiots to be superior to what we have in place now.

I look at this world, where nothing makes sense...and I start believing that we've all been despicable people in a prior life...and this is the "hell" where we've been sent to pay for our "sins". If there is a hell...then it must be close to what we got right here. A sick society, where you don't know whom to trust...or what advice for the future to give to your kids.

Are you talking about PA, or the world in general?
