Pentagon says "no" to flyover for God and Country Family Festival
msnbc.msn.com/KTVB-TV UPDATED ^ | July 7, 2009 | msnbc.msn.com/KTVB-TV UPDATED

NAMPA -- More than four decades of tradition were changed this year at the God and Country Family Festival in Nampa.

Typically, a military flyover is a highlight of the event, but this year it did not happen.

To make a fly over happen you have to get permission from the Pentagon.

It hasn't been a problem in the past but this year it was --all because of the word "God."

“I suppose next for the 0bama administration is doing away with our money because it says ‘In God We Trust.’”

Well, he’s certainly hell-bent on making it completely worthless in the world market! I think that’ll make him happy enough.

What a poser. I loathe that man. He makes me all misty-eyed and nostalgic for Bill Clinton. *SNORT*

Christians need to focus on the Lord and stop worshipping government. Why in the world would Christians want a display of military might at their event? How about looking to God. How about loving your enemy.

Hmmmm, maybe because it was also about Christian’s duty to serve the country. Maybe because it was a celebration of the Christian heritage of this country.

Loving you enemy? A Christian also has a duty to protect his family and country, or do you think a Christian shouldn’t serve in the military?

Agreed but this tradition has been going on for 40 something years. There is nothing wrong with the blue angels at any event. It is quite obvious what 0bama is doing.

i see.

well, since we don’t want to offend the fedgov... how about we just stop sending all those filthy dollars with ‘G-d’ on them... and only send those without such offensive language?

thoughts?

EXACTLY he can waste money in this fashion. OMG he should never have done that because there may have been money on board which says “In God We Trust.”

The Friends reported on this story twice this week. Gretchen Carlson asked—what’s different now after 40 years...could it be our Commander-in-Chief???

re: How about loving your enemy

I consider a powerful and readily apparent military, complete with fast planes, big guns, impressive ships and lots and lots of fighting men and women to be an integral part of loving my enemy. I love him enough to want to dispel any misplaced idea he might get that he can take me on and win. I love him enough to want to save him from himself when he gets a wild hair and even thinks about messing with me.

Once he attacks I’m left with no alternative but to wipe the surface of the Earth with him. Far better for him that he gets the message early and often that I’m a force to be reckoned with.

Sounds compassionate enough to me.

He’s trying to wipe out any connection to our true foundation linked to Judeo Christian beliefs that sustained the country from its beginning. He is following the EU in its rewriting of its constitution, “cleansing” it of its historical facts. Now there are more atheists there than believers and it is collapsing. He has no inner core and feels compelled to make over America to his own image. There is a sickness covering the world today.

God help us.

"I called him immediately and just said, you know hey we've been doing this for 42 years, we've had flyovers, what is the problem? And he said, well we have looked up your Web site and everything on your Web site seemed to focus on Christianity, ministry booths. And he said, in fact, ma'am it sounds like it focuses on Christianity. And he said, in fact, it would be great to go to, in fact, if I personally, could come I would, but we can't endorse such an endeavor, so they couldn't do the flyover," said Syme.

Ping for later

People are mighty ticked off he spent 18 million dollars to revamp recovery.org so he can show us how foolish he spends money! Can anyone post a link to this on FR? I did a search and found nothing.
