White House Objects to Legislation Protecting Military Chaplains from Doing Same-Sex Weddings
http://cnsnews.com ^ | 05/17/2012 | Patrick Goodenough

The Obama administration “strongly objects” to provisions in a House defense authorization bill that would prohibit the use of military property for same-sex “marriage or marriage-like” ceremonies, and protect military chaplains from negative repercussions for refusing to act against their consciences, as, for example, in being ordered to perform a same-sex marriage ceremony.

In a policy statement released Wednesday, the White House Office of Management and Budget outlined numerous objections to aspects of the fiscal year 2013 National Defense Authorization Bill (H.R. 4310). The bill was reported out of the House Armed Services Committee last week and is set to be debated in the House, beginning Wednesday.

Overall, it recommends that President Obama veto H.R. 4310 if its cumulative effects “impede the ability of the Administration to execute the new defense strategy and to properly direct scarce resources.”

The veto warning is not specifically linked to the two provisions dealing with marriage, but they are listed among parts of the bill which the administration finds objectionable.

The memo said the two provisions “adopt unnecessary and ill-advised policies that would inhibit the ability of same-sex couples to marry or enter a recognized relationship under State law.”

They are going to force Catholic and Orthodox Jewish Chaplains to perform ceremonies they are forbidden to perform?

Since DADT was repealed, I have been on the record stating that Christian Chaplains will be disciplined and even Court Martialed if they defend basic Biblical values in the face of pro-queer military regulations.

And this article just confirms the facts. Christian Chaplains in our Armed Forces are an endangered species.

Obastard is doing his best to eradicate any and all Godly virtues left in the military today.

I assume a military chaplain is subject to whatever rules (or stupid rules) that come from up the chain of command. Including the retard-in-chief.

If so, once again we have Obama waging a war on Christians. We’re apparently supposed to set aside beliefs (i.e. abortion is wrong, same sex marriage is wrong, etc.) because that’s what President Urkel wants. How about he just out himself as a muslim and a commie and get it over with? At this point there wouldn’t be any shock value, we already know it.

First move with ultimate goal of getting rid of chaplains altogether.

I told my Pastor to be ready to be thrown in jail for refusing to perform same-sex marriages. He said that it would never happen. I replied “just be ready.”

They are NOT going to force Catholic and Jewish Chaplains to perform these ceremonies.

Any Catholic or Jewish Chaplain who performs such an act is automatically giving up his religion.

What they are going to do is force all catholic and Jewish Chaplains, and any other Chaplain who is loyal to the Bible out of the military completely.

That is the purpose of this.

I told my pastor the same thing almost a decade ago. At the time he gently laughed and said something to the effect of "this is America, things like that can't happen here".

I reminded him of it again about a year ago and his eyes are wide open now. But I think the majority are still asleep.

As you should be ready to be thrown into surprise and dismay when you learn, as you just may, that it "would never happen" because he will ultimately decide not to refuse to perform the ceremonies.

I don't know him, but...just be ready.

Why wouldn’t you want someone to participate in your joyous union who actually agrees with what you are doing and doesn’t insult their religious conscience????

Because......

Rest assured that Muslim chaplins (an oxymoron if there ever was one) will be excused.

This sure won't do it. Mitt Romney is every bit as sympathetic toward the gay agenda as Obama is. It'll make no difference whatsoever in that regard.

And I for one will never vote for a godless pro-sodomite liar.

Fine - just do me a huge favor - if Obama wins by a smal margin don’t complain or say a word at what he does in his second term since you will have contributed to it just as much as an obama voter.

Thanks.

He may have been slow to see the onslaught coming, but in his case I doubt he will bend when it hits. He has already been fired by two churches because he was unwilling to tolerate openly homosexual church officers, and from another for holding the line against heterosexual perverts. He's lost two homes, several years wages and his retirement for standing by his principles.

I'd add that his wife supported him 100% throughout, even when his decisions caused the family to be uprooted and cast adrift. She deserves as much credit as he does.
