It’s an Obama World… Gay Flag Flies at Afghan Base But the Christian Cross Is Banned
Gateway Pundit ^ | 3/29/2012

Posted on 03/28/2012 11:41:28 PM PDT by My Favorite Headache

It’s an Obama world. The gay flag flew over a U.S. military base in Afghanistan this week.

The Pentagon forced an Army post in Afghanistan to remove a cross on its worship tent in December. It was offensive to liberal atheists.

I read those comments and they are pathetic, the comments which put up shows just how deluded the left have become, putting up a queer rainbow flag in a backward muslim country and this admin has no problem , out a cross and then they do.

This needs to be overturned ASAP,

I still have pals serving and one is in Kabul and he said there has been trouble with a homosexual officer and a young guy but they are trying to keep it quiet so as not to leak this to the press.

I’ve heard off overs this has happened in other bases and last week they had a homosexual party , the article is on FR

Oh there has been problems, talked to a pal based in Kabul and he said there has been trouble with a homo officer but the military is trying to keep it quiet so the press does not find out.
All sorts of rumors right now about it so I won’t go into them right now until I get more of the facts but you can bet this is going on everywhere and last week at a camp in VT they had a homosexual party, the article is on FR

Mitt Romney publicly re-states his pro-homosexual positions on military, judges, and more.

Sodomy Celebrated in Military.

Let’s see how the people there feel after learning what that flag stands for.

The facebook page of the woman whose husband put this up

Your source is the facebook page of a soldier's wife? Not buying it....yet.

I'm honestly afraid. Until fairly recently I thought the miltiary was a place where there was respect, if not for the Gospel as such, then at least for the natural virtues; and a society which for over 200 years has had its own traditions (which are also often supports for the natural virtues).

I don't have enough perspective to really know anything about military culture.

But this looks bad.

Anyone know if a new president can reverse the DADT damage obama has done?

Doubt it. Very little gov't regulations are ever really repealed. Maybe changed slightly at most.

Face it, candidates say the will but once they get in they will bend to lobbying pressure.

Note that it’s an “interfaith chapel” chapel.

That means it’s the designated building for all services for all faiths. Greek Orthodox to Jewish to Buddhist.

That cross is only applicable to some Christian faiths, though. And they do not have ownership of the building.

So, I’d say that whatever religion is conducting services at the moment should have their symbol on the door. And then, when it’s over, it’s taken down so the next religion can place their symbol on the door.

Same goes for the interior.

Which explains why the manual states: “Distinctive religious symbols, such as crosses… will not be affixed or displayed permanently on the chapel interior, exterior or grounds”.

Or, are you willing to pony up the extra dough so that all the religions in the military have their own separate chapels on all bases? Or advocate that only Catholics, Protestants, and Evangelicals may join the military?

not if we put pressure on the GOP, if we give up then the establishment and commies win and I for one will not give up over this at all.

My kids have already been taught what is right and they’re all still in elementary and middle schools and one going into high school.

it’s frigging sick that the establishment puts up a north east liberal , then backs him, then attacks conservatives who run against him and then they wonder why on earth most of the base is fed up and not excited to come out and vote, give money or boots on the ground.

Are they trying to tell us that they could nto get a better person to run who is a good conservative or is it their way of saying STFU to the base , you hate obama and that means you will vote for us as we know best besides we know many homosexuals and cross dressers and they’re nice , we take their money , we go to their cocktail elitist parties and we will like them because all we care about is our own pockets and money.

It’s been quiet because nothing’s really changed, operationally.

There’s been about 30 minutes of on-line training and that’s it.

Since sexual behavior of any sort isn’t tolerated on-duty, there’s been no change there. And since sexual behavior isn’t authorized in the barracks (yeah, yeah, I know that’s an unenforceable rule)... if any gay sex happens, those unhappy about it can complain about the ‘sexual behavior’ and get the faggots some paperwork for violating standing orders.

So, the net effect is pretty much a big zero, so far.

Of course, if gay marriage is resolved in their favor, then we’ll see how happy our folks are when Mr. And Mr. Homo Sexual move in right next door on military family housing.

I don’t know about you but I am more at odds with the current PC Administration in terms of effect on my daily life than with the Taliban, by a long shot. There are always going to be people in other parts of the world who see things real differently.

oh there is problems, hell there is a problem right now with a queer officer in Kabul.
Talked to a pal over there the other night on Skype who said the military is trying to keep it silent and put a gag order on those near the case.

In VT there was a homosexual party on base.

There has been other problems concerning homosexuals too, even in the marines where two women were trying to get married quarters .

The MSM will never cover the real facts about what is happening the queers are hoping that enough military personal get to know these queers and become pals with them and then they can have their minds changed with the usual crap like so many say”I know a few homosexuals and they are nice so let them be”

You do realize it has been estimated that we will need to have at the very least 3 million conservatives who are going to school today to become a teacher to have any remaining or lasting effect of a normal or straight agenda in our schools?

The answer to everything...more Conservative educators...tons more.
