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.
Why don’t Republicans limit attendance to those people who actually live in the district? ID monitors at the doors could turn a lot of the paid protestors away.
Well... repent already! /s
That observation certainly reveals the different sides doesn’t it.
There’s Christ and then the others.
It’s a very elementary observation, so simple and yet so complex at the same time.
Yep. Recognize the times and seasons. It is obvious.
“There was a lot of shouting. Some turned their backs. Many didn’t stand or put their hand on their heart.” Sounds like CNN’s Wolf Blitzer at the Republican convention when they played the national anthem.
Exactly.
Two effective ways to smoke out the radical leftists.
Paid scum. And not one Democrat leader calls for calm and civility. Not one.
I don’t see why people attending the Town Hall meetings do not have to provide proof of residency in order to get in. This would stop a lot of this crap...
What a great discovery!
An easy way to separate the libtard agitators from the serious attendees without having to check ID’s or voter registrations..
Just open up all Town Hall meetings with a prayer.
The paid leftist trouble makers and other libtards will go crazy.
Then follow up with a Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.
That will catch the stragglers and other slow witted democrats who missed the prayer.
Yup, it is obvious with anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear and who has the Light of Life.
Satan is fighting hard and is really pissed because with Obama and Co., he thought he had us but instead, we’re about to see an explosion of the Light coming from America to around the world for one last in-gathering of souls to Jesus Christ before He comes for us and it all comes crashing down.
Another FReeper made the suggestion of simply announcing that attendance is limited to residents of the district, and that people will be required to show drivers license with addresses in the district.
Western Civilization is under a attack. Christianity is a vital part of Western Civilization. Therefore Christianity will be attacked.
Just wow!
The only thing that will save this country is an all out shoot ‘em up and let the chips fall.
AND to the feds monitoring, I will never start something like that. But I have no doubt the libs are unhinged and it’s only a matter of time before they get extremely violent and all over and at the same time.
You may be right. However, Western Civilization is falling and it is easy to confuse the collapse of our Civilization and the end times.
Do you think Annenberg, Ford, Soros, etc. foundations will ever run out of money?
Sheesh, some of these protesters get $1500 a week.

The best thing for one of us to do is attend his or her town hall with a HD video camera, carefully shoot all of this garbage in proper landscape format, get full face shots of all the disruptors, and post them on the internet. It might make good evidence in any criminal case(s) and could turn up the same people at location after location. Willful disruption of pastors’ opening remarks and saying of the Pledge of Allegiance would make great video for Republican campaigners.
