Obama's War On Religion In The Ranks
Breitbart ^ | August 2, 2013 | Rep. Tim Huelskamp

If Army chaplain Emil Kapaun served in Afghanistan today rather than Korea six decades ago, President Obama would probably give the Catholic priest discharge papers instead of the Congressional Medal of Honor.

The absolute best course of action would be for Christians in the military to defy any order to hide their faith, and if charged, refuse nonjudicial punishment, demand a trial by a jury, and thus tie up the military court system.

You mean his war on every religion except Islam, right?

Your welcome.

If my memory is correct, the Church is looking closely at the life of Army chaplain/Catholic priest Emil Kapaun as a possible future canidiate for canonization in the Church.

.....Yet with the Muslims, there is no love lost. As a matter of fact, a number of embessies are going to be closed on Sunday in Muslim countries.

"Who wants to join an organization that increasingly caters to homosexual and atheists, meanwhile denigrating Christians and traditional marriage?"

People willing to turn their guns on Americans, that's who. He's turning the military and DHS into a Gestapo.

I think the Church is looking into this priest’s military chaplain’s life very closely to see if he could very well become a saint one day.

I do not know about that. The numbers of gays and atheists in the military is NOT that large to begin with. So Americans will still be safe.

No, not really.

The real phrase should be “Obama’s war on Christianity”.

There’s only two sides - those with Christ and those who oppose Him and His people.

The left doesn’t oppose “religion”, they oppose Christianity.

Correcto mundo!

Where is the resistance? The defiance? All we hear about is compliance and go along to get along.

We need to plan on supporting the resisters because it is surely coming. There has always been a high price to pay for being Christian and the West is just now getting a clue that it is at our very door.

Yep. That I have noticed. He doesn’t make war on anything but Christianity.
But he seems to like Islam a lot...

Islam is the chief persecutor of Christians, that’s why.

Fr. Kapaun is a most worth candidate based on his service to Jesus during his life.
