Let me get this straight. The organizers, the Ancient order of Hibernians, a purported Irish Catholic organization is allowing unrepentant sodomites march in the parade reveling in their sin, while denying a Pro-Life group of Catholics, in complete agreement with the Church about Abortion and morality, are denied access to the parade.

I got that right?

This parade should be shunned.

It’s supposed to be Gaelic, not Gay Lick.

I predict that within not too many years, this country and this world are going to look very, very different from what we now know. I think we are entering into the End Times.

There is a fixed number of units in the parade. The Catholic group was bumped for the Gay group and the LBGT wants even more spots. That means even more traditional groups will likely get bumped to placate them.They want to take over this parade!

Sounds like it.

Just further evidence of my opinion that America has basically become the mirror-opposite of everything it once was and once stood for. All things once considered good and virtuous are condemned and maligned, while all things once considered vile and debased are praised and celebrated.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians hasn't run the parade for 20 years. The parade is now run by some vaguely titled Parade Committee which makes no claim to be religious in any way.

Time to make the Ancient Order of Hibernians the Extinct Order of Hibernians?
