The Air Force is the most anti Christian, politically correct of all the services, by far. This has Mickie Weinstein written all over it, the AF Academy grad atheist who dictates their policy now on religion. He gets religious items removed in hours from any air base in the world. This Air Force is disgusting and I would NEVER recommend anyone enlist or become commissioned there.

We’re going to start seeing more and more of this now that Barry’s Godless, sexual deviant pals have been allowed to infiltrate and destroy our military.

Rake says the Military Religious Freedom Foundation lodged a complaint about the display through the Air Force in Washington

Once again, we see our political system has evolved from 2 parties representing the interests and views of a free people, to a dominant "Government Party," representing the interests of Government, the bureaucracy, its ideology, and those who make their living from a massive government.

Even the reporter calls it ‘holiday’ and not Christmas.

If we do not remove these evil people from positions of responsibility, we will see Christians severely persecuted in this country.

Indeed, the persecution has already begun, but there is much more to come.

We need to add God to the oath of office.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of ______________________, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and God”


Just think of the legal grounds we'd have to keep people out and throw out the ones in.

Never mind ... if we don't do it for violating the Constitution ...

It always amazes me that the image of the most famous infant in history, whose birth sparked a way of life for billions and who preached nothing but love and compassion, is so offensive to the self-hating, militant atheists.

At this time of year, I go out of my way to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I’ve had people say that they are offended, and I have politely told them that they should go talk to a man while laying on a couch and pop a few pills.

Reading Jesus’ own words offers me some comfort because He knew the scorn that we would face.

"Religious Freedom Foundation."

Is that something like the Unaffordable "Affordable" Care Act?

- "Down" is "Up"
- "Back" is "Forward"
- "Under God" is "Under Imperfect Human Beings Wielding Government Power"
- and,
"Progressive" is, in reality, "Regressive," advocating the Old World ideas and policies of King George III--from which America's Founders fled!

Let’s take the religion out of it, and just contemplate the Holiday that was devoted to the man.

Christmas was declared a federal holiday on June 26, 1870 to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. We have a Lincoln and Washington Birthday and MLK birthday. The nativity scene depicts Jesus’ birth.

I fail to see the controversy here and esp I fail to understand why the Nativity scene was taken down.

Good point.

The creche was taken down because one thing that the US is lacking in is leadership. No one has the cojones to stand up for what is truly right and just. They are scared, cowardly, intimidated, bullied and/or confused.

We have become a nation of pussies. Those who do stand up for principles are vilified and called racist, homophobe, intolerant, bigoted, extremist, etc.
