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.
Yes, but it is slightly less heartbreaking when you realize that they were paid to disrupt. In other news there is another story about Pagans and witches uniting to cast spells against Trump.
Exactly- there’s no hiding demonic possession- When the word “Pray” was used- you could sense a very dramatic shift in seething hatred, and again when the Word “Jesus” was mentioned- these demonically possessed liberals couldn’t contain their evil burning hatred of those two words
“We’re definitely in the Prelude to the End Times.”
Getting hard to argue otherwise, Jim.
“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?”
With God, all things are possible. In the meantime, don’t they sell axe handles in Louisiana?
This is all headed toward civil war.
[[But I sincerely doubt many in the mob were actually residents of Louisiana]]
I didn’t listen to the video today- (I did the other day) but do the proterstors even have Louisianan accents?
Good way to root them out up front. Like self identifying targets.
The number one root cause of all of this happening. You are correct.
Definitely stumbling, but I don't think we're there for awhile. I have no doubt, however, that the soon-coming End consists of it all coming crashing down,
Invoke ROBERT’S RULES OF ORDER with a Sergeant-at-arms authorized to bust heads and throw the troublemakers out, WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE!
What some others holding events do:
Announce that the Town Hall is for those who live and vote in the congressional district.
Restrict attendance to ticket holders
Hand out free tickets in advance at the politician's local office or the office of the local republican club.
That gives the ticket administrators an opportunity to "Vet" those who ask for tickets.
Back when the democrats were holding Town Hall meetings to sell Obamacare they would open a side door or back door early to let the democrats in.
Then when the front doors were opened at the publicized start time most of the seats would already be filled with loyal democrats.
I know for a fact this happened locally because the local news ran interviews of people complaining about it.
Some aid they were among the first to be let in the front door only to find most of the seats already filled.
Others said that they were told no seats were available even though they got there early and were near the front of the line.
Thank you, Mene. Time is moving faster it seems. The humor will be decreasing as troubling events increase.
LOL yep Ive seen that cartoon many times, fits liberals to the T
Depends on where you are in florida. Many conservative areas including the pahandle. Trump did win here.
I’m in FWB.
The Louisiana tourists are the worst. They seem to take leave of their senses when they come.................
My guess is that many of the protesters were atheists. You know, atheists do not believe in God... and they hate Him!
Sounds like a pack of howling demons were in attendance..
That could work too. One way or the other it is necessary to remove the aura the LSM is creating that these protests are “mainstream” not lunatic fringe.
