Defense Department materials classifying Christians as extremists reflect the ideology of the boss.
Whoever put together the recently reported Defense Department materials classifying Catholics and Evangelicals as extremists can be excused for simply reflecting, if a bit overenthusiastically, the ideology of the boss. Obama’s anti-Christian secularism is the order of the day. Why wouldn’t that philosophy seep into DOD materials?
The military is dismissing this slide show for a U.S. Army Reserve presentation, which placed the Catholic Church in the same category as al Qaeda, as an isolated incident. An Army spokesman told the press it “was produced by an individual without anyone in the chain of command’s knowledge or permission,” who “was not a subject matter expert, and produced the material after conducting Internet research.”
Research into what? Obama’s speeches and writings on the benighted quality of Christianity, all of which rest on the premise that it is extreme? Did he read Obama’s memoirs, which dismiss passages of the Bible as extreme? Had he read Obama’s comment that to “base our policy making” on Abrahamic commitments “would be a dangerous thing”?
This now-persona non grata apparently did his research too well and grasped the thrust of Obama’s thought too clearly. Who knows, maybe he even cribbed it off the Department of Homeland Security’s 2009 report on “right-wing extremism,” which made dark mention of pro-lifers.
Far from an isolated incident, the U.S. Army Reserve presentation is typical of a military trying, if at times ham-handedly, to follow the lead of a president who views Christianity as a grab bag of bigotries. Was it an accident that Admiral Michael Mullen told a Christian chaplain who objected to the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell that “if you cannot get in line resign your commission”? Was it an accident that Lieutenant General...

They must really think we are total idiots.
Ping
These days I picture the DOD as full of Donna Shalalas..
Yes, and they’ve labeled us terrorists before the first shot fired( or vote??) and now they can all scream,
“ Seee? We told you so, Get the UAV’s! it’s time to put them bigoted Christian flat earthers in place, six feet under.”
Sadly, tragically our country has betrayed us. Our leaders we voted in have chosen to render their oaths null and void and they HAVE chosen war.
I have no idea where this will end but it doesn’t look good right now for “we the people,” but it didn’t look good in 2009 either and the TEA party flattened them round earthers!
If you aren’t right with the Lord, might be a good time to do so.
they do think we’re idiots because the right never fights back like the left and we never have the media.
White house closed which we pay for but they have concerts and no one from the GOP raised this today, not one, hell half of talk radio are cowards who want to stay pals with their liberal pals like Beckel, Colmes
The right plays according to the rules set by the NFL.
The left plays according to rules not found in any handbook known to the NFL.
So, how do we proceed knowing that the other team will not play fair?
We need to study the playbooks of Ronald Reagan and our Founding Fathers.
The army may be telling the truth that this was a lone leftist going out of her way to make political indoctrination of troops.
But the point should nonetheless be underscored that this sort of thing can and will eventually happen in regard to the Federal army which we shall not always control.
As long as People like Obama can get elected and reelected its only a matter of time before there is a crusade against us Christians.
You really do give them to much credit. This is probably exactly what happened.
true that
we play by the old fighting rules of fists up the left fights to win and uses anything they can get a hold of.
The stupid party will it seems never get it in to their dumb thick heads that many of us want to see them fight
Or perhaps the Black churches consist of nothing but nineteenth century European materialists who just act like hillbillies at 11am Sunday mornings.
