Neither does Obama.

Well, Mickey boy, happy dhimmi that you are, who will fight for your right not to be beheaded by islamofacists if it comes to that? Since I’m on the subject, Mickey, do you demand that muslims stop proslytizing too? Especially in prison?

[Amberdawn]

Yep, the type who, when hears the word christian, sees barbed wire.

[Elsie]

We're supposed to be worried by statements from a person named MIKEY???!!!

[Elsie]

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is calling on the Air Force to enforce a regulation that they believe calls for the court martial of any service member caught proselytizing.

Oh POOP!!!

[Elsie]

Section 2.11 requires “government neutrality regarding religion.”

The world is upside down.

The problem with the speed isn’t the acceleration but the inertia.

Are you still killing your unborn?

[Elsie]

What am I overlooking?

[Elsie]

They've turned centuries of religious freedom into persecution in an extremely short period of time.

HMMMmmm...

THAT sure is interesting!

[Elsie]

This is simply incorrect.

...or a LIE!

[Elsie]

I believe you are right.

[Elsie]

Christians need to get ready to take this one to the Supreme Court...

We already have!!

And a judgement has been rendered in the case:

 

 

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

[Elsie]

I'd like to thank the United States Government for protecting me and my kind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You see, 40 years ago, my odds of making it out of the egg, alive, were very poor; about 80% of us died. 

 (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=rachel-carson-silent-spring-1972-ddt-ban-birds-thrive)

 

 

But a lady discovered our plight and wrote a book that addressed our problem,

and, in 1972, a law was ammended protecting us even further. (http://www.fws.gov/midwest/eagle/protect/laws.html)

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I find strange is that the same government passed a law the very next year that allowed for killing

of unborn, and apparently unwanted, humans.  Little ones still nestled safely in their Mother's womb.

Around 25% of them are dying before birth - on average nearly 3,300 - every day of the year.

 

 

I hear that by now, somewhere around 55 MILLION of them have perished.

Wouldn't that kind of mess up the humans plans for growth, and welfare, and

retirement?

 

 

 

 

 

Strange birds; these Homo Sapiens.  Perhaps they'll come to their senses

before they are ALL dead!

My career as an Army Chaplain says this is not over.

The proper response is prayer and standing to fight.

Amen to that! You and all our brave troops are in our prayers!

[Linda Frances]

Being the son of a Lutheran minister and having a son in the Marines I concur that it is not over but has yet to start.
Onward Christian soldiers!

What a blessed man you are.

[metmom]

Thanks for the ping to that thread.

[tractorman]

Thank you and God bless you too!

History is rolling up fast.

They have to get Christians out of the military in order for Satan’s worldwide kingdom to be realized.

Do any of you remember Mr. Weinstein in conjunction with Christian evangelization issues at the USAFA a few years back, and probably more than just a few years?

I surmise that when you mix the rigorous military training with religious evangelization that people who aren’t interested in a particular religion would inevitably get insulted. But that’s par for the couse with respect to military training imo.

Imo military laws / regulations do not trump constitutional rights as Mr. Weinstein seems to be suggesting. After all, just like lawmakers are expected to make government policy which complies with the Constitution that they have sworn to protect and defend, it’s the job of military leaders to make military policy which likewise complies with the Constitution that they have sworn to defend. And religious expression is protected is a protected right whether Mr. Weinstein and our military leaders like it or not.

And as I mentioned in another thread, Congress is the only entity that can violate the 1st Amendment imo, by making laws which respect or prohibit religious expression.

On the other hand, when the courts apply Jefferson’s “wall of separation” to resolve religion-related issues as they are infamous for doing, they are not only wrongly legislating anti-religious expression “laws” from the bench in many cases, imo, but also likely ignoring 10A protected state power to address religious issues, power now reasonably limited by 14A. And they get away with doing so because the nation’s schools probably don’t go out of their way to to teach students the difference between legislative and judicial powers.
