Boykin told evangelical Christian audiences that God was on the side of America's war on terrorism

Thus apparently contradicting the idiot Falwell who told us God lifted His protective veil on 9/11.

[Clara Lou]

Kerry and Leiberman pander for votes.

[DUMBGRUNT]

"The war on terror is a war on terrorists not religion."

Why then are all the terrorists of the same religion, Mr Kerry?

[sirchtruth]

Two Democratic presidential candidates speaking before an Arab-American audience yesterday called on the Bush administration to dismiss a high-ranking Army official for claiming that Muslims did not worship a "real God."

Isn't this what is really comes down too? There is war because people will not accept the truth, that's all it ever is about.

And we all know who claimed to be THE TRUTH.

Uh huh.

[LadyPilgrim]

Have these Dems not got anything better to do than JUMP ON BANDWAGONS?

[OpusatFR]

Did I miss something, or misread?

Wasn't this guy speaking to his own congregation in his church?

[birdsman]

We can burn the American flag because it's free speech. We can critisize our leaders on foreign soil because it's free speech. We can have TV programming that borders on porn, because it's free speech. These same defenders of free speech now want General William Boykin's head on a platter because he exercised free speech. Do these freaks really expect us to take them seriously?

[Brilliant]

called Boykin's words "un-American"...

No freedom of speech in the liberals' "utopia".

[jwalsh07]

The same idiots that complain about the evil Patriot Act encouraging violating the privacy of Mosques where certain Muslim terrorists congregate, the same idiots who ignore these same "religious" organizations that place moles at Gitmo and the same morons that search Grandmas at airports rather than those that fit a terrorist profile have no compunction about invading Christian churches in search of phantom enemies.

Signed,

A Christian Soldier.

Representative Dennis J. Kucinich of Ohio received loud cheers...

Now, there is an idiot.

The people of Ohio should be ashamed for putting this damn doofus in office.

The problem with all these idiots (Kerry, Lieberman, Kucinich, Dean, etc) is that they will bend with the wind.

If it's blowing for the good of the Islam dummies, then so be it, they'll bend that way.

Lieberman should be ashamed for his wishy-washy BS.

No matter though, none of these bozos are gonna be elected.

But they damn sure make the US look stupid on the world scene.

[G.Mason]

Absolutly no one cares what Kerry and Leiberman think or say, with the exception of Kerry and Leiberman. [and a very few fans?]

Neither will be "the last man standing" in the Dims presidential election circus bid, and will be regulated to their place of prominence [minority senators] in 2004.

[anniegetyourgun]

Then I trust they won't care when they are silenced for speaking up for their own faith.

[Tacis]

Interesting opportunity here. These pandering scum will speak against anyone and anything if they think it will generate support. We need to be aware of every incident where a neocommunist says or suggests an anti-American position and write each one of these weasels a message that starts, "As a life-long Democrat and one who has supported you in the recent passed, I am shocked and disgusted by the recent comments of ...."

A cluster of these message protestig the words, not of a non-candidate dem weasel (Sheila Jackson-Jerk, for example), but a neocommunist city official, the mayor of Philadelphia, perhaps, might get a nonsensical response from one of the candidates.

The lefties clap both palms to the sides of their heads and shriek, "You can't say that! I am offended!" and whine that the speaker should not be allowed to participate any longer. We see it here on occassion. We should try to enlist some of these pandering dems and put some differences between a couple.

[Malesherbes]

A lot of the Arabs in this country are Christian and probably agree with Boykin. They escaped from places like Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq to avoid the oppression meted out by their Moslem neighbors.

[Ann Archy]

Lieberman is Jewish...actions like his are the reason maybe that anti-Semitism is on the rise.

[Let's Roll]

The muslims will ride this indefinitely because it's the only issue they have and CAIR's entire mission is to be a squeaky wheel.

As for Kerry - Lieberman ... do any Americans seriously think these guys should be in charge of our defense.

The Pentagon needs to reply to the muslims along the lines of "in this country, we don't persecute our citizens for their thoughts". (We do of course, but that certainly wasn't the intent of the founding fathers). And if that doesn't work, "bite me" can be effective.

[jordan8]

Kerry . . . called Boykin's words "un-American,"

Somebody should look into this, Senator, maybe a House Committee on Un-American Activities?

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

In the 1992 election, Bill Clinton got 75% of the secularist vote, while the current President's father received support from traditionalists (church-goers) by 2 to 1. That pattern held in the 2000 election. "In terms of their size and party loyalty," Messrs. Bolce and De Maio argue, "secularists today are as important to the Democratic party as another key constituency, organized labor."

The Democratic Party: Home of the Non-Religious Left
Wall Street Journal ^ | Friday, October 17, 2003 | DANIEL HENNINGER

Journalists evidently covered the general's speech and published his remark for the purpose of persecuting him for his religious belief. The other Democrats, the ones running for POTUS, have picked up that opportunity to criticize a Christian. That plays to the Democratic base, and may be necessary to win the nomination, but the sentiment is also inherently unconstitutional for a POTUS to act on-- no less so than requiring a general to be a Christian would be. Can the Colonels also be required to not be Christians? The Lieutenants? The Sergents? The Privates? And would it matter that the Christian soldier happened to be black?

Where, precisely, do these nonsense-talkers think to find a reliable American military, if atheistic Democrats (who don't have much tendency to become officers, as Gore implicitly acknowledged by trying to suppress the military absentee vote in Florida) are to constitute the entire pool of qualified officers?

The unspoken conceit that Islamacism is a monster which will eat atheists (or, in Lieberman's case, Jews!) last is laughable. What must happen instead is that the American military model First Amendment freedom of religion for Iraq, making no effort to persecute moslems but exerting influence for religious freedom for Iraq's minorities, not excluding its Christians. Such a polity established in Iraq would represent a defeat for Islamicism and for the atheistic Democratic Party.

Democrats love "The First Amendment" as they pretend it to be (with a "wall of seperation" to suppress religion), and actually loathe the First Amendment in its concrete form. They want to establish atheism or at least agnosticism as the religion of the state, they want to establish journalism as infallible when speaking ex cathedra. In short they think contrary opinions to theirs are to be suppressed as "racist" or some such.

General Boykin has every right to give his opinion just as Lieberman did while running for VP, he talked about 'his' God quite a bit.

Call the White House comment line or e-mail the President - to stand behind his General. Then read this and pass it on.
