“How long before we have the wear big letter C’s on our clothes?”

I figured it would be a cross, since the pre-Hussein Nazis required Jews to sew on the Star of David.

And C is for Coexist, of course, except with Christianity.

There is no freedom of speech in the military.

You are also free to exercise your religion, however you can’t proselytize.

It’s actually very simple.

It's very simple. Because of Obama, America is controlled by islamists. Nothing less. Islam, with Obama’s help, have infiltrated every single group of influence in the country. So this no surprise.

Colo. Sheriff Alleges Shock Training to TheBlaze: DHS-Bound Official Warned Against ‘Christians
************************

"The Obama administration’s Department of Defense was caught training U.S. troops that Catholics, orthodox Jews, and evangelical Christians are to be considered “religious extremists,” even equating the major religions representing more than half of Americans with truly violent groups such as al-Qaeda, the Ku Klux Klan, and Hamas. After the explosive revelations hit the headlines, outrage promptly ensued. Now, critics are calling for an immediate public apology to the soldiers exposed to the hateful propaganda, as well as to the Christian and Jewish communities targeted in the presentation.

The latest scandal to hit the Obama administration and its handling of the military surrounds a so-called “Equal Opportunity” training course [33-pg PDF file] presented to U.S. Army Reserve forces in Pennsylvania. During the presentation, troops were subjected to a slideshow that included a segment on what was dubbed “religious extremism.” At the top of the list — the very first item — was “evangelical Christianity” in the United States. Also included were “ultra-Orthodox” Jews, Catholicism, fundamentalist Mormons, and “Islamophobia.”

Christians Are Extremists Like al-Qaeda, U.S. Army Taught Troops

PENTAGON TAPS ANTI-CHRISTIAN EXTREMIST [Weinstein] FOR RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE POLICY [April 28, 2013]

"Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation’s armed forces."

Those words were recently written by Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), in a column he wrote for the Huffington Post. Weinstein will be a consultant to the Pentagon to develop new policies on religious tolerance, including a policy for court-martialing military chaplains who share the Christian Gospel during spiritual counseling of American troops.

Weinstein decries what he calls the “virulent religious oppression” perpetrated by conservative Christians, whom he refers to as “monstrosities” and “pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers,” comparing them to “bigots” in the Deep South during the civil rights era.

Well....we can't say they didn't tell us. The path is clear.

They just appointed a rabid Christian-hater who pens virulent anti-Christian vomit, worthy of a jihadist imam, to develop military policies on religious tolerance.

"I’m a man of many fits actually. Hissy, snit, shXt and conniption."

I usually go with "conniption" - it covers a lot of bases.

<><> For long time use, for a particular instance "snit" is very helpful! <8^)

I spent 20 years in the Air Force and not once experienced proselytization.

No one ever told you about Jesus?

They jail and persecute Christians in Islamic countries, too. But until now, and until this president, not in the United States of America.

I’m starting to see a pattern.

So now it’s a crime in Amerika for Christians to even express their faith.

"Religious prosyletization has been forbidden i the military workplace for many, many years."

Don't they already give Wiccans an advantages special treatment?

I'll use the "Google Machine" and see if its on the net.

It's probably on FR which is where I get most of my news!

Let’s see . . . Oath vs Pension, Perks & Security Clearance . . . um, let me think it over, OK?

So, one can’t share that one is a Christian with another soldier but one can share that he or she is a homosexual. And, if someone doesn’t like the fact you’re a homosexual, that person is homophobic bigot that will receive a court martial.

More of Obama’s war on Christianity.

Obama hates three things: Christianity, the Constitution, and Capitalism.
