It’s an Obama world. While we were preoccupied with other disastrous Obama policies, military bureaucrats under Barack Obama passed a new rule that barred loved ones from bringing Bibles to wounded soldiers.
The US Military says they are rescinding the order but only after a Republican lawmaker denounced the policy on the House floor. Todd Starnes reported:
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center said they are rescinding a policy that prohibits family members of wounded military troops from bringing Bibles or any religious reading materials to their loved ones.
The decision to rescind the ban on Bibles came exactly one day after a Republican lawmaker denounced the policy on the House floor and called on President Obama to publicly renounce the military policy.
“The President of the United States should address this and should excoriate the people who brought about this policy and the individual who brought it about should be dismissed from the United States Military,” Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told Fox News & Commentary.
King spoke from the House floor Thursday blasting a policy memorandum from the commander of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center written by Chief of Staff C.W. Callahan. The September 14th memo covers guidelines for “wounded, ill, and injured partners in care.”

FACT ! Large study conducted at the Durham VA hospital in 1988 found men who used religious behaviors to cope were less likely to become depressed during their stay and future visits. FACT! study at San Francisco Gen Hosp reported in the Southern Medical Journal in July 1988 People who were prayed for experienced 5 times less antibiotic use, 3 times less likely to develop pulmonary edema, none of the prayed for patients required ventilation. FACT ! study in Annals of Internal Medicine Prayed for group had fewer complications,used fewer drugs and fared better than non prayed for group.

This is ridiculous. I never thought I’d see the day when the USA turned into North Korea.
They are probing, pushing the envelope, testing the limits.... When a patriotic AMERICAN speaks out, however, the Communists back down.

Wouldn’t this be against freedom of religion?
It's right in there.
You just can't see it because it is a living document.

Actually, if you translate that from Orwellian Duckspeak, it's more like "You just can't see it because it is a dying document." They'll kill it if they can.
IN other words.... we really wanted to ban them but since we got caught and the blow back was so bad we have decided we will change our policy and hope next time you bitter clingers and not paying attention....

You could have changed “PLD” to “Sport” and that would have been my response, almost word for word. I, too, after swearing that I would not vote for Mc Cain, after he picked Sarah, I voted for him. I am plesed to make your acquaintance,My FRiend. I useally avoid using profanity, but when it comes to describing obama voters, it comes naturally.
Agreed. They’re trying to see just how much further they can go,bit by bit....incrementalism!! This country wasn’t built in a single day,but by the Grace of God we will take it back in a single day-Election Day,that is.
I have tried to keep my temper and not say bad words but there is just something about Obama, his thugs, and the whole democrat party that make me say awful words but I think the words I call them fit perfectly..I didn't learn most of the words until Obama and thugs came into power.
PING!
Just a reminder: None of the military hospitals will accept mail that is not addressed to a specific service member. Back in 2005 they used to deliver such mail but several wounded heroes received cards with nasty messages inside. So the hospitals decided “any servicemember” mail had to be opened and screened first, but then discovered that so much support mail was received they couldn’t keep up with it, even if ambulatory, recuperating soldiers were “recruited” to assist in the screening. (I met the young soldier referred to in the following link and I can confirm this isn’t an “urban legend”: http://www.theodoresworld.net/archives/2005/12/
My recommendation, to make an impact, is to send the Deputy Commander named above large manila envelopes filled with UNSEALED Christmas cards. Include a cover letter stating you know that security for the hospital is important so you’re asking him to distribute the cards after he reviews them.
