I realize the ban was lifted one day after Congressman King raised the issue on the House floor but still.

“That means you can’t bring in a Bible and read from it when you visit your son or your daughter, perhaps – or your wife or husband. “It means a priest that might be coming in to visit someone on their death bed couldn’t bring in the Eucharist, couldn’t offer Last Rites. This is the most outrageous affront.”

“The idea that these soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines that have fought to defend our Constitution, and that includes our First Amendment rights to religious liberty –would be denied that religious liberty when they are lying in a hospital bed recovering from wounds incurred while defending that liberty is the most bitter and offensive type of an irony that I can think of.”

The next president, assuming we get the right person in there this time, is going to need to do a lot of house cleaning.

“Is the Koran allowed?”

Probably, since it represents a cult, not a religion.

Rep. King is MY congressman and a very good personal friend. I've been proud of him from the day he walked into the US House of Representatives but never more proud of him than when I saw him speak this from the floor of the US House.

God bless Rep. King--perhaps one of the greatest congressmen, EVER, to grace the US House.

They can’t stop God from coming into the hospital..Just pray and ask him to be with you and protect you..

The fools that make these rules will never know since they can’t see or hear God like we Christians can..

It will not get any better we are living in the last days I really believe..

The Air force is much more open to the religious, provided the religion is paganism.

Now they will try to change our national motto to:

“ONE NATION UNDER A CULT”

I hope this does not give them a new idea.

What were they going to do, open mail and destroy any greeting card with a Bible verse? This was shades of Fahrenheit 451.

our initial intention which was to respect religious and cultural practices of our patients.”

We respect them by outlawing them. The lack of critical thinking skill in the class of people running things is as disturbing as the spiritual decay in evidence here.

From the military academies to the highest ranks in the Pentagon, from the regional commands to the ships at sea, a drastic purge is needed. We have fought two wars over ten years and only two real commanders come to mind — Petraeus and Odierno. And that is scarey.

Islam is clearly unconstitutional. The goal of Islam is to do away with our rule of law and replace it with Sharia law. There is no god greater than Allah. If we want to bow down to Allah, then we can welcome Islam.

Amen!
In my 77+ years it seems we are on the verge of yielding to the powers of Satan (the god of this world); Under his direction and guidance, he will pass laws that will make Christians criminals, even attempt to make it a law against the return of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

May we remember Jesus said: “My Lord said unto My Lord, sit down at My right side until I make Thine enemies Thy foot stool!”
