Soldiers attending a pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood say they were told that evangelical Christians and members of the Tea Party were a threat to the nation and that any soldier donating to those groups would be subjected to punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
A soldier who attended the Oct. 17th briefing told me the counter-intelligence agent in charge of the meeting spent nearly a half hour discussing how evangelical Christians and groups like the American Family Association were “tearing the country apart.”
Michael Berry, an attorney with the Liberty Institute, is advising the soldier and has launched an investigation into the incident.

Never Again?
...the Democrat party considers all those groups terrorists...
So Fort Hood has changed a bit since my tour with the 191st Combat Intelligence Company, 312th Military Intelligence Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Division? Who knew?
Preparing the troops to fire on American citizens when King 0bammy commands.
Need a correction-- "zampolit" is the correct term for KGB officers supervising the ideological correctness and loyalty to the Party of the armed forces.
Did anyone ever think you'd see the day when Christians and the domestic political opponents of the President would be treated as foreign enemies by officers of the armed forces of the United States?
Thought crimes
Orwell is running America?
Any group that opposes Democrats / liberal progressive pond scum is considered “the enemy” and are herefore to referred to as “terrorists”.
Of course the soldiers in our military know exactly what’s going on; the “masculine” ones at least.
Fascinating.
The premise is obviously absurd. Neither the Tea Part nor Evangelical Christians are violent, no have there been any instances of anti-military or anti-government violence by them or on their behalf. Can’t say the same about Islam, but strangely enough, it is not mentioned.
Over all, I’d say we are looking at a coup. The military is being trained and conditioned to attack the only likely opposition - conservative, libertarian and Christian patriots.
IIRC, this is the third instance of this kind of ‘training’ occuring in the army.
Chaos and Martial Law is coming.
He NEEDS to know His Military WILL fire on “the enemy”.
The problem is that this is going to force out all the good people in the service, leaving the less disciplined, more violence prone, and more ideologically driven.
That means the better soldiers will be on the other side when these guys get their orders. Our army isn’t big enough to spread out and take on all the gunowners of this country, no matter what delusions of the liberals are.
I need a little more evidence before I’ll run with this story. The part that makes me skeptical is the bit about prohibiting donations to certain conservative groups.
This is a sanctioned practice.
These are NOT “isolated incidents”, only isolated reporting.
I’m pretty sure that the Army does not consider Christians or Tea Party members to be terrorists. That being said, there are those who have been installed or promoted by the current administration (a small upper level group) who will ask how high when told to jump.
The officer who gave the briefing needs to be identified by name, and subpoenaed by Congress. If soldiers are being told not to donate to specific groups, there has to be a list of those groups. That’s part and parcel of procedural due process. Find that list and you’ve hit a lovely vein of gold that can be mined for quite some time. In the meantime, evangelicals and tea party members are to be congratulated. It’s important to have the right enemies.
That needs to go viral.
PING
Whistling past the graveyard. I sure hope all the aces are up the sleeves of the citizens.
As Fred White said in Tombstone, "It's gettin' pretty spooky around here."
Yes, but we are not Russian, so nobody understands what that means. Just call them Thought Police.
