Actual Panel At CPAC: If Heaven Has a Gate, A Wall, and Extreme Vetting, Why Cant America?

The Conservative Political Action Conference is being ridiculed online for promoting a Saturday panel where the weighty topic of “Why Heaven can have a wall” to keep out undesirables and the U.S. can’t.

CPAC, which is scheduled to begin on Thursday, has already had a bad week after having to dump star attraction Milo Yiannopoulos as a keynote speaker after it was revealed that he appeared to condone and excuse child sex abuse. After a messy start to the week , the directors of the annual conservative meeting in D.C. had hoped to move forward with serious discussions about public policy.

That wasn’t to be the case after a schedule of panels was released showing a seminar combining President Donald Trump’s plans to build a border wall with Christian theology, reports the Christian Post.

According to the CPAC schedule, GOP Congressman Bob Beauprez will moderate the Saturday panel, entitled: “If Heaven Has a Gate, A Wall, and Extreme Vetting, Why Can’t America?”

That doesn't sound like heaven. That sounds more like hell. Conservatives, keep doing what you're doing.

"And truly I tell you it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven. Again I tell you it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God." Matthew 19:24

I bet that is especially true for lying, pussy grabbing rich men...

Glad that CPAC is delving into mythological conundrums.

If they're claiming omniscience, then they've officially put themselves in the "idols and false gods" category"

Isn't that one of the things we had Hirohito renounce after WW2? But back then, we used to execute people for water boarding, not hire them.
