Obama's War Against Catholics Chaplins

Maybe I should have said against those who serve in our military. 

What is the message the Commander in Chief sending to those who wear the uniform?

DOD Still Barring 50 Priests from Administering Sacraments, Locks Up Eucharist, Priest Sues


(CNSNews.com) -- After the Obama administration, for the second Sunday in a row, continued to prohibit approximately 50 Catholic priests from saying Mass and administering other sacraments at U.S. military facilities around the world, Father Ray Leonard, who serves as the Catholic chaplain at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia, filed suit Monday against the Department of Defense, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, the Department of the Navy, and Navy Secretary Ray Mabus.
DOD is prohibiting Father Leonard and the other Catholic priests from administering the sacraments and providing other services to their congregations even though two weeks ago Congress passed, and President Barack Obama signed, a law that instructed DOD to maintain on the job and keep paying contract employees who were supporting the troops.
DOD took this action because Hagel determined--after consulting with Attorney General Eric Holder's Justice Department--that civilian Catholic priests, working under contract as chaplains, did not, among other things, “contribute to the morale” and “well-being” of service personnel.

Is this administration out of touch our what? ?

Lot of nonsense surrounding this current farce of a Government Shut down. 

One of the thing which really infuriate me is the disrespect by the Clown in Chief towards our military. There is zero, none, no reason for the closure of the World War Two Memorial. Well finally some folk have had enough.  While slow in coming glad to see it happen. Wish I could be there.

Crowd storms World War II Memorial
WASHINGTON - Thousands of people converged on the World War II Memorial on the
National Mall on Sunday morning and tore down the barricades blocking it off, protesting the closure of the memorial during the federal government shutdown.
Beginning at about 9:30 a.m., Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, as well as former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, were among the luminaries in a crowd that chanted
"Tear down these walls!" and sang "God Bless America" as well as other patriotic songs as they entered the memorial, which has been closed since the government shutdown that began Oct. 1.
Tractor-trailers headed down 17th Street toward the Mall, blaring their horns. The Metropolitan Police Department blocked off the street, prompting the crowd to head up the street, shouting at the police to move their vehicles.


To me, the police response seems to be a bit to much.
