Arleen Ocascio, director of the VA cemetery in Houston, has decided to take the Marxist Revolution a step further and has decreed that there will be no references to God or Jesus and that all ceremonies must be written and submitted to her for pre-approval. Obviously, this low level bureaucrat has decided Obama's Revolution is stalled and she must pick up the standard and impose her will on the veterans who come to the cemetery to bury their loved ones.
According to her, there will be no mention of a Christian or Jewish God at future ceremonies, she has spoken and her feelings reflect the Democrats and their antagonism against God. There seems to be no antagonism against Allah, at least he has not been mentioned in Ms Ocascio's demands that religion or God not be mentioned in the ceremonies taking place in her cemetery.
Marilyn Koepp, Secretary of the National Memorial Ladies, a volunteer group that attends every funeral at this particular cemetery, was told by Arleen Ocascio that they could not mention God while on the cemetery grounds.
It's true that Obama'a Democrats wants to erase all traces of God from public buildings and our schools, but why must they insist that the veterans who pay the ultimate sacrifice or old heroes from the wars of yesteryear deny the presence of God before being interred with their brothers. Why is this tyrant being allowed to impose the Socialist creed against religion on the grieving families of our patriots. Is Obama's hatred of our military, going to be allowed to force undue suffering on our Goldstar families when they are at their most vulnerable time.

Princess Leia (sort of)
She is the exact reason they should not let queers in the military or any part of the government. They are all sick, self-centered, arrogant, and vindictive.
Libertarians will be tickled pink. They are all for freedom - as long as everyone is politically correct in word and association as dictated by the government.
This is sooooooooo ripe for civil suits by families, friends, and supporting agencies.
Swing for the fence people! Take her down, and make it hurt.
And just how does this “person” think she is going to enforce this “regulation” in “her cemetery”??
I predict she won’t be in that position for very much longer.
Sara, you are badly misinformed regarding Libertarians. Actual Libertarians don’t want government or anybody else telling anyone what they should say or think.
I live in Iowa so it's not practical for me, but a band of hearty Texans needs to get down there and have a prayer-in civil disobedience.
If they start mass arrests, even the media will have to put them all under the eye of the camera.
Thanks for providing the info. Will call tomorrow.
Our govt can honor Osama bin Laden and give him a burial with respct to his religion and yet this woman is not willing too honor our veterans and their families with the same dignity? This makes me irate!!
Right after the TSA pats down my five year old...
I know what they say, Alan, and I know what they do when they have power, too. They are social liberals and they think the govenment is supposed to be atheist and anti-religion.
It’s that lie of a “wall of separation” the Marxists invented where the government gets to mandate what people say regarding their faith unless they are atheist - then they can preach all they want.
Turns out the “wall” does not reach Muslim public charter schools; only Christian ones. I am sick of the deceipt.
The prince of darkness grim
We tremble not before him
His rage we can endure
For lo! HIS DOOM IS SURE
One little Word can fell him

This article illustrates the fact that we are finished. It is not the actions of these Jacobins, but the spineless response of the veterans. They should not be “sad,” they should be outraged. They should ignore these directions and see if they can get arrested. Civil suits should target these miscreants and not the government. The photo is not Arleen Ocasio but Janet Napolitano.
I expect the Veterans Groups can stop her by contacting their Congressman in several parts of the state. In fact it may get real hot for her. I would also bury her and her henchmen in law suits of all types. Not go with one, but numerous ones and listing her, the staff, and the VA. It will likely have good results. She is nothing more than a racist, who is using her position as a control freak. The object is to start Congressional investigations about what she is doing. It would not hurt to contact numerous state congressmen as well. She is engaging in intimidation, interfering with freedom of speech and religion, and racism. What a horrible spiteful woman.
Notice she didn’t mention Mohammed; she knows it’s easier to bully exponents of non-violent religions.
Let’s hope she’s very soon investigating employment opportunities elsewhere.
