That decison will be overturned by outrage and then the she bitch will be fired.

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.

Is this my country?

[Talisker]

She should be sued in her personal capacity, fraud under color of law; and if any other person is involved in an official capacity, then all of them for conspiracy to deprive rights.

Leftists need to start paying, personally, for carrying our their demon orders.

[Oceander]

That won’t stick around very long.

[GoCards]

Say it anyway! Who cares what this lady says. SAY IT. SCREAM IT!!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is un-American and disgraceful. It also is a violation of the First Amendment.

...IMPEDING THE FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION...

Put her goatsmellin' ass in jail where it belongs.

How's that "change" workin' out for everybody!?

2. Temporary Restraint. Arleen Ocasio, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and all those in concert with them are forbidden from dictating the content of speeches – whether those speeches are denominated prayers or otherwise – at the Memorial Day ceremony of National Cemetery Council for Greater Houston. The government is cautioned that interferences for this suit’s having been brought would be a further Constitutional violation.

Signed on May 26, 2011, at Houston, Texas.

Lynn N. Hughes
United States District Judge

We’ll see about that. I think Arlene is going to be unemployed before too long.

Here is what Houston National Cemetery Director Arleen Ocasio is alleged to have done since taking over last year:

1) Director Ocasio and other Cemetery Officials instructed Veterans of Foreign Wars District 4 to remove prayers from its burial rituals and to no longer utter remarks when handling the discharged shell cases from the rifle salute to the family of deceased veterans.
2) Cemetery Officials instructed American Legion Post 586 to remove prayers from its burial rituals.
3) Director Ocasio told the National Memorial Ladies that it could no longer include God Bless in its condolence cards or speak a religious message to veterans families.
4) Director Ocascio shut down the Cemetery chapel; it is now a meeting facility.

How on earth does she have the power to make that decision?

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Patriotic Americans, it is time to...

DISOBEY!!!!!!

[jmacusa]

Were a loved one of mine, having served their country honorably is now deprived of hearing the word “God’’ at their funeral by some low-level government flunky, I’d see to it that the flunky’s funeral would be the second one of the day.

My stepfather was buried there 2 years ago, and my mother a few months ago.

This really hits home.

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.

Ping for later

"...For approximately 10 years before joining the National Cemetery Administration, Ocasio held various positions in the VA West Side Medical Center in Chicago, Ill., where she worked with minor contracts, maintenance contracts, and budget and was the Hispanic Employment Program assistant manager...."

There will come a time when in a higher court she will be asked to explain her decision.
