"There Was a Time In This Country..." -- Reverend Kiley Delivers Labor's Invocation

[kidcartune]

Do you know the poorest American is richer than 93% of the world? Poor union laborers? This guy is a donation seeking nut. The Bible says judge him by the fruit of his labor, and liberal, athiest wacos on here are all praising him...RED FLAG. Remember Jesus? The class that killed him was the "intelligencia"i.e.libs, not the rich. Pharisees protected THEIR revenue streams w/ speeches like this and killed truth. Open your eyes. In the Bible, people worked 6 days and rested on the 7th Mr. Reverend.

[FPiccioli]

@kidcartune As well the Bible also talked about how to treat your slaves...so yes a 6 day work week and slavery....I am sure you wanmt BOTH

You do NOT know Christianity

[VILLAX9111]

Great prayer. Thanks Fr. Kiley.

[MrJohnbond]

Tears..It brought me to tears...and I am going to fight for Labor harder than ever

[rlavin91]

I am truly impressed with his honesty and willingness to stand up for the poor and working class. The country needs more compassion and maybe this is the person to lead is to greater compassion.

[daroskeyMusic]

Todays Rich kind of reminds you of the Romans and they are ready to take this country down now

[leston4life]

Now that's a REAL pastor!

[hpsoap]

As an atheist I have to concede that this man deserves the utmost respect, to you ,Reverend Kiley you have Mine :)

[enemy2k10]

Thank you Reverend. As an atheist it is reassuring to see religious people living up the ideals of Jesus. I often see religious people who are very hypocritical and openly loathe the poor. Thank you again.

[nytmstr]

The rich get richer, mega corporations pay little or no taxes BUT the unions are greedy lazy organizations! WTF! All we hear from the conservative brain washers is how the unions are shrinking and becoming insignificant BUT they blame the unions for any financial crisis when times get bad!? WTF does anybody actually believe their hype? Live Better Work Union!

[rewinn]

Jesus was the son of a carpenter, and made the best wine in Galilee so I guess he was a brewer too! He fought for the ordinary people, which is why the Pharisees killed him.

[Arabesquian]

I've never seen anything like this before. I've seen charlatans, but I've not seen a man like this speaking the truth about the people's situation.

I will say this much: God bless you, Rev. Kiley, for speaking up for those who do not have a voice.

[ThunderAppeal]

Public schools in America have failed the public thanks directly go to unions.

Fuck the unions. Private enterprise!! Self reliance!! Are things that helped build America not whining and bitching and moaning like this old fucking turd.

[ThunderAppeal]

Fuck the unions and fuck this split tongued devil.

[ThunderAppeal]

There was a time in America when people didnt whine and snivel like the bitch in this video. Crying about how 'bad things are' for him. You assholes can afford a brand new plasma TV and a new car but you cant fucking afford to pay your mortgage or cant afford to 'retire' No one fucking care about you assholes.

[jimswifey1]

That is my kind of religion! Thank you Rev. Kiley. God bless the working middle class and God Bless UNIONS. WE ARE ONE IN SOLIDARITY!

[oldpatrick1]

No words by themselves can bring me to excitement over Christianity or religion in general ... but this comes close. Bless you father for we truly have sinned.

[bonchidude]

I could not have said it better! WOW and WOW. HEAR, HEAR!

[QueerSwede1]

Suck it Jesus!

[dcfarmboy]

AMEN!

[MrJohnbond]

God Bless All Union Members Across This Country !! And God Bless Reverend Kiley I'm John..Proud Union Member Bartenders Local 165 Las Vegas Nevada.

I Stand Strong With All Union Members Across America

[mstyles2]

Awesome prayer! Thank's Reverend Cletus! The Crime of THIS century is in progress! The robber baron's are back from the turn of the last century. The kochbro. are just like frick, carnegie, morgan to name a few. It is nothing less than unbridled avarice and greed. The difference now is that in our day and age, they can't hide. They're not after more money, that's not the issue. They're after more power. With people like them, there's no such thing as enough. It is pure evil at work!

[tinmanrobby]

!!!!!!!!- That was unbiased, true, and spoken fairly. More need to see this clip. More need to understand. More need to listen. More need to act. Thank you Reverend Kiley. "It is the right of the people to change or abolish, and institute new Government"- Thomas Jefferson, 1775.

[unionmomx4]

I am not christian, but i agree with this man's words. Invoke whatever holy power you need to for help to stand up against these attacks against those of us who built this country and keep it running. Whether you build something, manufacture something, or keep the public services running, it is time to stand and fight for our very lives and livelihoods!

[harleyedgar1]

Tell it like it really is reverend! Amen!

[jadonaghy]

AMEN. More prophets needed. 

[jadonaghy]

AMEN. More prophets needed.

[mpsfamily]

If only all the clergy would be as courageous as this. So many have translated "Suffer the little children to come" into "make the little children suffer." Cutting WIC, Food Stamps and Head Start is IMMORAL

[hkasuki]

God bless you Reverend.

[Liberryhsl]

Unlike so many, this is a learned man talking about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you truly believe Jesus is the son of the Living God, how can you vote Republican? If you do, you need to re-read the Gospels and ponder what Jesus said. The Koch Bros. and every Wall Street thief have had their reward.

[42McCool]

Invoking the name of God in any political situation borders on blasphemy. How small does this reverend think God is?!!!! Fools all!!!! He sounds like he is pleading the case that he and his bretheren are without sin. A modern day Pharisee!

[MiserableOldFart]

@42McCool You are full of baloney. This is an issue of THEFT and of DESTRUCTION of human rights by the most powerful force for evil on our planet. Those who advocate said theft and destruction are the modern day whitened sepulchers, and have been for a great many years. Walking, rotting corpses in thousand dollar suits raping and pillaging the country and its working class.  You are either a liar or a fool, or most likely, both.

[Chromegorilla]

Wow... tax breaks for big business are so bad right? Wrong. You don't raise taxes on buisnesses... You raise them on joe middle class and joe low income. Why? Because if you raise taxes on a corp., they in turn raise their prices which COST YOU MONEY. Or they lay people off and people loses jobs... Half the population had ZERO tax liability last year. Zero. Why are they still crying?

[phpimen]

I agree with @mloulane say everyone should be responsible. Let's end the tax breaks for the welfare queens and kings in the red states who have been taking and living off the rest of us for decades. If @mloulane wants to lecture us about personal responsiility, I say let him live it. Lets see how long this person lasts. Let's end the giant tax breaks for the corporation that didnt pay a cent this year as well, GE, Halliburton, the oil companies. Let's do it.

[wailnshred]

@phpimen If huge companies like GE paid even a few percent tax each year, maybe some budget problems could be solved. Without raising taxes on the "little guy" like me. GE outsourced a lot of jobs, if they are not creating jobs here, why do we need to give them more tax breaks?

[IWLocal8]

Gave me chills - absolutely LOVE this man!!

[Chromegorilla]

Clever... try and tie in the union thuggery into religion...Fortunately most of America is smart enough to see unions for the true cancer they are. As proven by declining memberships....

[thericksmithshow]

@Chromegorilla Face.palm.tree

[CVaughnSTL1]

@Chromegorilla Really maybe you should do some research if you think Unions are ran by gangsters. This isn't the 30's. All union officials are voted on by the members, nobody is appointed to a seat. To your other comments the Building Trades that this video refers to has paid into their pension just like Joe Blow pays into a 401k. The amount that is contributed to this pension is negotiated with a committee of business owners in the area of the local unions.

[mloulane]

He is so right. God bless you my Holy brother. We can no longer retire after our years of work. We have nothing to look forward to any longer. Just work and work some more..

[Chromegorilla]

@mloulane

Why can't you retire after years of work? You cure can. How about YOU making sure it can happen by taking personal responsibility for your future. Save and invest your money and plan for your retirement... Instead of expecting someone else to do it for you. Everybody wants everything handed to them.

[Matryx]

@Chrome Like the billionaires that WANT the tax dollars of the poor and middle class to pay for THEIR stadium that they don't WANT to pay for? To pay for THEIR corporate headquarters because they don't WANT to? Because they don't WANT to dip into their personal stash of BILLIONS that they have collected by screwing their fellow neighbors? By gaining profit from sending the children of the lower and middle class who they screw to war because they WANT more stuff? That what you are talking about?

[Steelhunky]

God Bless this Priest. He told the truth!

It's about time our Preachers and Minsters step up to the plate!

It's not right what is going on in this country.

We are being held hostage by Politicans that are only worried about lining their own pockets. We worked hard all of our lives, and for what?

Let us all pray to GOD that the truth be known
