Push to court-martial general for thanking God
WND ^ | 05/17/2015

Maj. Gen. Craig Olson

A civil-liberties group is demanding a two-star Air Force general be court-martialed for mentioning God at a National Day of Prayer Task Force speech on May 7.

Despite the religious nature of the event, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has called for Olson to be “aggressively and very visibly brought to justice for his unforgivable crimes and transgressions,” adding that any other service members who helped him should be investigated and punished “to the full extent of military law.”

Would he be court-martialed if he was a Muslim?

ISAIAH 54:17

But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!

This must be a Soros-funded group. Their name, Military Religious Freedom Foundation is quite misleading. I guess this General doesn't get the type of 'Religious Freedom' they're thinking of.

How about just do away with the National Day of Prayer?

The group’s leader Weinstein describes the group’s target as “a small subset of Fundamentalist Christianity that’s called premilliennial, dispensational, reconstructionist, dominionist, fundamentalist, or just Dominionist Christianity.” He further characterized their target as “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.”
(Wikipedia)

Wow. He must look like Richard Simmons.

If anyone didn’t quite believe in a real Satanic evil force acting in the world — these past six years have shown there really is one.

Here’s a little nugget that will frost you even more - you paid for Weinstein to attend the Air Force Academy. He was a pain then and a bigger pain now since he’s made it his mission in life to be offended by everything religious in the military.

It should be renamed the Military Freedom FROM Religion Foundation.

The Pentagon should stop with the nickel and dime crap, and go straight to court-martialing God for helping the General.

Someone needs to tell these troublemakers to shut up. Punches to their mouths are also good.

Craig is a personal friend and an inspired leader. That his inspiration comes from the Lord is obvious to any who deal with him.His personal and tireless leadership brought the once-troubled V-22 Osprey program from the brink of death in 2001 to the model acquisition program it remains today.

I always feared his open religiosity would bring him trouble; now here it is. Thanks to politics. Shame.

I got this in an email...

*The Lord's Prayer*

*BY A 15-year-old SCHOOL KID who got an A+ for this entry*

*The Lord's Prayer Is not allowed in most*

*US Public schools any more.*

*A kid in Minnesota , wrote the following*

*NEW School Prayer:*

*Now I sit me down in school*

*Where praying is against the rule*

*For this great nation under God*

*Finds mention of Him very odd.*

*If scripture now the class recites,*

*It violates the Bill of Rights.*

*And anytime my head I bow*

*Becomes a Federal matter now.*

*Our hair can be purple, orange or green,*

*That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..*

*The law is specific, the law is precise.*

*Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.*

*For praying in a public hall*

*Might offend someone with no faith at all..*

*In silence alone we must meditate,*

*God's name is prohibited by the State..*

*We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,*

*And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...*

*They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.*

*To quote the Good Book makes me liable.*

*We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,*

*And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.*

*It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,*

*We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..*

*We can get our condoms and birth controls,*

*Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles...*

*But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,*

*No word of God must reach this crowd.*

*It's scary here I must confess,*

*When chaos reigns the school's a mess.*

*So, Lord, this silent plea I make:*

*Should I be shot; My soul please take!*

*Amen*

*If you aren't ashamed to do this, Please pass this on..*

*Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.'*

*~~~~~~~~~AWESOME~~~~~~~~~~*

*Not ashamed. Passing this on.*

It's that little booger-eating, self-hating, Jewish Momma's Boy (Mikey Weinstein) again. He has been a pox on our armed services and the Air Force in particular in his attempts (mostly successful) to drive God out of the Public Square.

Thanks for Abraham Lincoln proclamation of military observance of sabbath.

I think it needs to be posted as often as possible. People forget we were a blatantly Christian nation. Nothing brings the message home like Abraham Lincoln specifically ordering Soldiers to observe the Sabbath and explicitly calling us a "Christian Nation."

There is no way to spin it, and Abraham Lincoln is above reproach. No one dare contradict him.

That message from Lincoln can be used as a club to metaphorically beat their arguments to death. It proves the courts are full of sh*t in their efforts to distance the US Federal Government from an explicitly confirmed connection with the Christian religion.

I will also mention, the US Constitution itself mentions Jesus at the end, as well as exempts the President from working on Sundays.

I'm tired of the lies. We need to shove the fact that the nation was founded as an explicitly Christian nation, in their faces.
