World Net Daily ^ | 11-21-04 | WestVirginiaRebel

Posted on 11/21/2004 1:21:55 PM PST by WestVirginiaRebel

In a move that echoes the recent decision of the U.S. Department of Defense to deny Boy Scouts use of military facilities, the US Air Force Academy is warning Christian cadets to curb their faith.

Well, I guess I'll drop my campaign to have the Air Force change its advertising slogan to "Aim On High".

Rosa cited Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" as an example of the problem being caused by Christians at the academy. When the film was playing locally, some cadets emailed members of their squadron suggesting they see it as a group. "People felt they were being coerced," Rosa says

Christians are tolerable only if they shut up. This is the kind of bigotry we are going to continue to encounter in America until we unmask what the socalled "victims" truely are-antiChristians who worship a different God threatened by Christ; Marx and his salvation through The State of Almighty Man.

And we have yet to hear from Rum. on this - strange to say the least - Very strange -

It does make you wonder if they took the Q from the Defense Dept. - and is this yet another step in the plan to change America forever - Evidently keeping President Bush has done nothing to put a halt to the mess -

At least the House stood by the scouts - Bravo for them -

Put all these 'piles of SH**' that call themselves American military into the front lines in Fallujah and let them see if THEY still want to act like other LAWYER SCUMBAGS?

Let them see what it is like to be an AMERICAN MARINE --- GOD - CORPS - COUNTRY

Not really. We voted for the (much) lesser of two evils.

I want someone to tell me if the United States Air Force is denying access to Boy Scouts at its bases. My own Troop 24 at Malmstrom Air Force Base back in the early sixties was sponsored by the base. I am going to go ballistic if the military has turned its back on the Boy Scouts.

My son has been lying in his grave for sixteen years wearing his Boy Scout Uniform.

Somebody needs to tell me if the sons of bitches running the U.S. military are now my worst enemies.

Inasmuch as Jesus commanded disciples to perpetuate themselves (the great commission, Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15,16); to demand that Christians NOT evangelize is to demand that they not practice their religion. At the Academy Christianity has effectively been outlawed.

It defies logic to twist 'tolerance' to mean that the majority has to shut up so that the minority feels comfortable, but that is where we have let ourselves be cornered into.
