US Army defines Christian ministry as 'domestic hate group'
Fox News ^ | October 14, 2013 | Todd Starnes

Several dozen U.S. Army active duty and reserve troops were told last week that the American Family Association, a well-respected Christian ministry, should be classified as a domestic hate group because the group advocates for traditional family values. The briefing was held at Camp Shelby in Mississippi and listed the AFA alongside domestic hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam. A soldier who attended the briefing contacted me and sent me a photograph of a slide show presentation that listed AFA as a domestic hate group. Under the AFA headline is a photograph of Westboro Baptist Church preacher Fred Phelps holding a sign reading “No special law for f***.” American Family Association has absolutely no affiliation with the controversial church group known for picketing the funerals of American servicemembers. It looks like the Obama administration is separating the military from the American people. “I had to show Americans what our soldiers are now being taught,” said the soldier who asked not to be identified.

Don't worry, I am informed on good authority that life in the re education camps will actually be very pleasant and all it takes to get out of the camps will be admitting that fictional Jesus guy wrong and putting all christian bigotry behind you - how easy can that be.

Just remember the password to open the gates is “allah akbar”.

Cant forget that one , can you. And it has such a nice ring too

Given what the government believes, I’m surprised all Christians aren;t considered hate groups.

Bush started this. He stocked the military with radical, ultra-P.C. leadership.

Expose them please..names, addresses...etc.

Let things happen as they may afterwards.

A few years ago I wrote that it would not take much imagination to conceive of a world where one must deny Christ or face terrible consequences.

Just never thought it would happen quite so soon and that it would start here in the US

If I or a family member was in the military, I would leave when the opportunity arises, unless and until this changes.

A good friend of mine has a son who has set a goal of being in the Secret Service. He graduated college and joined the US Army, attended OCS at Ft. Bragg and is set to graduate soon.

If that kid comes home spouting any of this PC indoctrination crap, I fully intend to get all up in his grill and talk or knock some sense into him.

But, knowing him, he won't accept that crud on its face.

Again...

Christians should find a way out of the military as soon as practical. The anti-Christian hordes are growing, and Christians are finding with each passing day they are NOT WELCOME in today’s Armed Forces.

In the military, many in the leadership ranks are being told to embrace homosexuality or face court-martial.

We’ve been labelled as terrorists since 2009. Read the Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment - or look at pages 81-92 of Law Enforcement Terrorism Training . The information the IRS was trying to gather from Tea Party Groups could have been for counter-terrorism purposes according to these documents… Not to mention the NSA data collection…

My opinion, is that they are preparing the Army, to fire on American civilians, during the upcoming civil war.

It is claimed to be true but no one can find the source. But even if urban legend, it is too funny not to share.

The following attributed to retired senior NonCom (NCO):

“When I came in the Army it was illegal to be gay; then later it was ok as long as you did not admit it. Now it is not only legal but celebrated! I better get out before they make it mandatory!”

Obama is doing his duty in being an enabler of the anti-Christ. He’s putting everything in place that will bring the anti-Christ on the scene.

Another briefing told officers to pay close attention to troops who supported groups like AFA and the Family Research Council. One officer said the two Christian ministries did not “share our Army Values.” “When we see behaviors that are inconsistent with Army Values – don’t just walk by – do the right thing and address the concern before it becomes a problem,” the officer wrote in an email to his subordinates.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20)

That is door #1 above. Door #2 is the way Paul of Tarsus faithfully departed this earth.
