President Obama's new "religious tolerance" consultant to the Pentagon, Mikey Weinstein, wants Christian military service members who openly talk about their faith in uniform to be charged with treason, which is a crime punishable by death according to military law.
By employing his consulting services, and as Commander-in-Chief, President Obama is effectively endorsing Weinstein's recently voiced and written views such as: "Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized [sic] and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation's armed forces."
Weinstein's inflamed word picture helps the rest of us understand what the world looks like to those who live with their eyes wide shut and sort of sounds like that old cereal commercial... except this time Mikey doesn't like it - Christianity, that is, so no one else should. And Mikey's giving the rest of us an object lesson in intolerance by showing us what liberal secularists are about: "It's our way, or we shut you down." In this case, Obama's anti-Christian hit man, Weinstein, proposes that honorable men and women in the military who speak about their faith should be charged with a crime worthy of capital punishment. Smells like bull to me.
In recent months, there has been a push against Christianity in the military. A few notables include a military training instructor labeling Jews, Christians, Catholics and Mormons as extremists alongside al Qaeda. The Army blocked a Southern Baptist website, citing it displayed "hostile content," (the Pentagon has since blamed it on a malware glitch), and an Army email was distributed warning fellow soldiers to beware of Christian ministry "hate groups." Each of these incidents could be reasoned-away individually, but they all have one thing in common: Intolerance has an unmistakable stench.
News has it that Mr. Weinstein endorsed the Southern Poverty Law Center's recent statement listing certain Christian organizations as hate groups. He also whole-heartedly agreed with comments made by radical Army Lt. Col. Jack Rich, who told his subordinates to be on the lookout for dangerous Christian soldiers who should be expelled from the military for their beliefs.
Lauding the Lt. Colonel's statement in a Huffington Post anti-Christian hit piece April 16, Weinstein said, "We should as a nation effusively applaud Lt. Col. Rich," and said America should go further to "vigorously support the continuing efforts to expose pathologically anti-gay, Islamaphobic, and rabidly intolerant agitators for what they are: die-hard enemies of the United States Constitution. Monsters, one and all. To do anything less would be to roll out a red carpet to those who would usher in a blood-drenched, draconian era of persecutions, nationalistic militarism, and superstitious theocracy."
Gee, if I didn't know better, I'd think he was speaking about why we are fighting the war on terror.
Religious intolerance reached the proverbial Foggy Bottom in the same article when Weinstein described Christians as "those evil fundamentalist Christian creatures" who hide behind the "facades" of "family values" and "religious liberty." The same attributes could be also pinned to America's founders, whom I suppose Mr. Intolerance would also deem as subversives.
It is obvious, foamy-mouthed Mikey has a bone to pick with Christians, and he's found an effective way to get what he wants by working for the president and the president's new military "yes man" Secretary Chuck Hagel.
Our fine men and women of the military, who are part of a historically noble institution, deserve so much better but are once again the punching bag at the expense of this intolerant administration.
No kidding. Mikey is as anti-Christian as they come, disguising his obvious bias by claiming to be some sort watchdog against all religious indoctrination in the military. What a worm... He looks like a thinner version of Joe Besser, only more effeminate-looking.
Obama is obviously going out of his way to elevate people who he knows will enrage conservatives.
I would suggest every Christian able should sign up and bury these commie wannabees
Guess that doesn't apply to Christians, whites or conservatives.
bkmk
Not, but logic and the mind did.
Piece of detritus. This entire regime is on the same level as the Khmer Rouge!
You ever wonder why they’re putting so much focus on drones? It’s easy to work out. When they’ve pushed all Christians out of the military, they’ll just have a small force of homos. They’ll be too weak and effeminate to enforce the admin’s law onto the people as they shred the constitution. This is why they’re mechanizing. Hope & Change Terminators don’t ask questions.
THE ENEMY IS WITHIN! May God watch over us.
I haven't been posting these for years because they seemed funny or clever.
Many people simply refuse to acknowledge the truth in them, and will shun the messenger from the fear or shame of their willful blindness.
I know this from painful experience, and will never fully recover what hope and faith preceded.
Unless the evil is stopped, it will cost us all much more than we currently imagine.
Hey, Casey - the Balkans have got lots of diversity.
Hasn't done them a damn bit of good.
That “Religious Extremism” list leaves no one out. Interesting that “Isamophobia” is considered “extreme.”
For the first time in five decades, I am advising young Americans NOT to join the U.S. military.
I’ve been doing that for the last three years too. A once noble calling... My Family traces members belonging to one service or another going back to the Revolutionary war.
I guess you have no answer. I’m not surprised.
I found it interesting that Muslim Brotherhood is on the list since its infiltration into the US Govt and its corrupt relationships with local and state politicians are vast.
That bus blew up less than a hundred yards from my wife.
The girl was basicly unharmed, everyone to the rear of her was shredded into chunks.
So, God can do as you say. But in most of the stories, including my closest call, God just gets you out of the way.
Being lucky is better than being good. Having Big Guy hold His hand over you is better still.
Migntn't be such a bad thing... a rifle behind every blade of grass and a handgun under every pillow is where the standard population is going... and that ought to deter foreign invaders more than a strong standing army.
You needn't wait for Obama to sign a Wannsee Protocol on Christians and Conservatives to know what he intends now. His imprimatur is now on hate speech directed at Catholics and Christians.
I'm not going to argue about [de]spiritualizing... but my theory is the reason for the high rates of suicide & depression is that when they're pointed "out there" they're told they're fighting for the Constitution and justice, and when they get back they see all the contra-constitutional acts and injustice and are basically told that (a) they're powerless to change it, and (b) if they did try to change it it would be treason, with a heavy emphasis on (c) the desire to change it is, in itself, wrong.
IOW, "it's ok when we do it" is what the authority says in-action-and-attitude-if-not-aloud.
