Yes, this is a FReeper-friendly rally.
Since they are “honoring” Ahmadinejad, can we assume that they also would have honored Hitler? These “religious” groups are nothing but a bunch of leftists with an agenda. The same people who want to pin medals on Reverend Wright and Father Pfleger.
They are not the horse and buggy Mennonites, but the Mennonites are all about peace though in past wars they did serve honorably in the military just not in killing positions.
The left has totally captured the seminaries of these "churches" and there's almost nothing left to salvage. It is a tragedy and helping to create the leftward drift in our society. These "churches" are definitely leading their parishoners down the primrose path.
Thanks for the info -
The World Council of Churches has always been crap and can almost always be counted on to take wrong positions.
I would be nice if these people actually studied islam and figured out it was a killing religion and would never fit into their world-view, but some people and brains do not belong in the same building.
LIBERAL JEWS HATE REPUBLICAN JEWS
hILLARY AND THE CONGRESSIONAL JEWS DON’T WANT sarah palin
TO GO TO THE PARADE
I may even have to make a AHMADINEJAD = HAMAN banner.
Did you mean AHMADINEJAD = HAMAS banner?
No, I meant Haman.
Is this event on the Doctor Freepenstein’s List?
No, how do I get it on that list?
In my area, Mennonites drive,the women wear little white hair covers and ankle-length floral dresses. I have seen them at trade shows selling *Amish* wares, with the women wearing severe mid-calf suits, nylons and shoes with buckles. My understanding is that the Mennonites are mainly sort of *reformed Amish*. I think, theologically, the Mennonites believe in Christ as a personal savior and recruit heavily from disaffected Amish, who do not have a doctrine of personal salvation. IIRC.
They are known here as “Amish with tractors”.
There ARE hippie Mennonites. The ones I am aware of actually began as Vietnam war protesters, looking for a legal religious deferment as conscientious objectors, as Mennonites do not believe in war/self defense.
why are Mennonites supporting this hitler?....
I hoping you have the proper permits and all that is required.
Do you anticipate media coverage and is safety a concern?
I would like a heads-up from any FReepers who may be going to the rally, I may alter my travel plans next week and pass through the city.
We can make it on our list...
Polish National Churches are not Roman Catholics. It’s tie to Romna catholics is that it’s founder was excommunicated.

Typical extereme left group that’s sponsoring this BS.
Rush just said this was a reception for Am-a-damn-nut-job. Or maybe they are hosting both. The Quakers have been trying to split this country since the Revolution. Now I think this is a ruse.
Do you have a site? How will we know if Anyone will actually be there.. Palin is supposed to be in NY on 22nd. Hard to imagine she would come back 3 days later..
I was really hoping someone would do this but driving 1000 miles is a different thing than just saying well done.
