An official with the National Day of Prayer Task Force believes the strongest military force in the world has bowed to pressure from a small group of people who oppose prayer at the Pentagon.

John Bornschein was responding to news that the Pentagon has withdrawn an invitation for evangelist Franklin Graham to take part in an interfaith ceremony at the Pentagon.

Excellent: The Army can have its "National Day of Prayer" with the anti Chrisitian bigots it is catering to these days.

wow, if it were a stock, you'd have to short it.

Oh, wait...

The DOD is engaging in the very thing the Constitution prohibits ~ the establishment of what or who is authentically religious, or whose religion is acceptable to the government.

Deny God and spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder. America will fail when America denies God!!

[gidget7]

True, BUT America does not deny God! Elitist do. Maxists do, and Seularist do.

The Pentagon unwittingly denies a prominent Christian voice.

As Christians, certainly we don’t reciprocate and deny the Pentagon in our prayers.

America lost the last election!

"The DOD is engaging in the very thing the Constitution prohibits ..."

Hmmmm...Makes you wonder what else the military will do when the crap hits the fan after the 2010 elections are hijacked.

ow the Usurper king Obama can have his Islamic day of prayer for our servicemen. What side are they praying for?

[Bahbah]

Good. Keep fighting back on every front. Gen. Casey is more worried about “diversity” in the military than 14 murdered people, most of them soldiers.

Fight, resist, refuse to give in. Shun them, and vote them out.

As Allen West says, fix your bayonets and charge.

Best way to get the message accros is to be at the opening until the ‘O’ walks in and then everyone gets up and walks out.

[Cicero]

Good.

But this and the other political correctness we have seen in recent years is very sad.

If anyone needs prayers, it’s people who go in harm’s way—and also those in Washington responsible for the planning that sends them there.

I worked in the military chaplaincy when I served back in 1982-1996. After a series of "embarrassing" prayer breakfasts when godly men spoke an unfiltered message, they started inviting people who bought into their ecumenical mindset of "one god, many faiths." They didn't want anyone preaching "hate and intolerance."

Franklin Graham falls into that category and I for one am happy that he's taking a stand against the godlessness of the Islam faith. He might not know it now, but he's also taking a stand against the godless (very few chaplains are called of God, IMHO) military chaplain corps.
