Its an Obama world. While we were preoccupied with other disastrous Obama policies, military bureaucrats under Barack Obama passed a new rule that barred loved ones from bringing Bibles to wounded soldiers.
The US Military says they are rescinding the order but only after a Republican lawmaker denounced the policy on the House floor. Todd Starnes reported:
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center said they are rescinding a policy that prohibits family members of wounded military troops from bringing Bibles or any religious reading materials to their loved ones.
The decision to rescind the ban on Bibles came exactly one day after a Republican lawmaker denounced the policy on the House floor and called on President Obama to publicly renounce the military policy.
The President of the United States should address this and should excoriate the people who brought about this policy and the individual who brought it about should be dismissed from the United States Military, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told Fox News & Commentary.
King spoke from the House floor Thursday blasting a policy memorandum from the commander of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center written by Chief of Staff C.W. Callahan. The September 14th memo covers guidelines for wounded, ill, and injured partners in care.

Wonder if the Navy hospital at Bethesda has a similar policy? Hard to believe the chaplains aren’t raising hell.
I am offend that I am being discriminated against because I am a Christian. This is just the icing on the cake. I didn’t see a link to the memo, but found it here.

Usually I just go with the rebellious Merry Christmas Greeting, but after this my new greeting will be
Merry Christmas may, God be with you.
Wow dude, thanks for the faith.
Hey! Let me ALSO suggest that we send e-mails and Christmas Cards to Rep. King for seemingly having the only set of steel balls to take this on!
That article by Father Malachi Martin, author of over 25 books including Hostage to the Devil defines what that demonic condition is. I believe that condition is what we are dealing with in our current President.
From covering up crosses on stage in Georgetown and Notre Dame we he spoke, to omitting the words "God" or "Creator" from the Declaration of Independence speeches, to his open scorn for Christians "clinging" to the Bible, to his mocking of the bible (Video here) during campaign stops, there is little doubt there is demonic influence in his life. Whether or not there is total control by demons should be a subject for further scrutiny and debate.
PC has infested the military , years ago I saw how the left were bringing it in and how it was destroying the military.
Many of those getting promotions are girlie men, homosexual types, butch women etc.
Once they get their people promoted to the top then all sorts of crap like this happens and what we need is a President who has enough guts to overturn all of this insane crap.
What is the betting that since zero the messiah has been in the white house that the secret service now has been infested with those who could not have made the grade before his freeloading living in our house
either that or one of the wookie family was forced there for a photo op and now has given the order no Christian stuff.
Hey you liberal trolls and media out there reading this and trolling.
So to you lot tolerance is when you become intolerant of certain religions or views.
Your hate and bigotry is sick and disgusting but yep you’ll still go on trying to tell each other on your loon websites how great and smart you are.
ARF
At least it was rescinded.
Chalk one up for the good guys.
That would be the only time a koran would be worth reading.
Did we see the national tree or WH decorations?
If someone doesn’t want it, pushy is pushy. Its doubly wrong to try and force something onto a person that is confined. jmo
Thank you ever so much for getting my point. We agree!
If you will scrutinize my post, you will see a discreet “/s” appended at the end.
On FR, we call this a “sarcasm tag.”
It means we are intending our post to be ironic, or in other words, we are mocking the statement.
Your rant reinforces my point. Sadly, we are not surprised to see a Freeper state that they’ll gladly take four more years of Hussein destroying the country in order to punish the gop. Sad, indeed. C’est la FREEP.
Years ago, I did some free-lance interpreting at the county jail. I still remember the first day I went into the jail, loaded up with Bibles in Spanish... Foolish me, I never thought I would be checked before going in! But, instead of trouble, I got a smile. The officer said he wished more people would do the same, that inmates who start reading the Bible cause far less trouble than those who don’t. You have to love living in South Carolina!
I too cannot fathom anyone sitting home, or actively working against an opponent of Hussein, merely to punish the GOP or to oppose a single position.
FUBO GTFO! 411 Days until Noon Jan 20, 2013
For all that leftists love to reference the First Amendment, they really, really, really hate it.
muslims are worried a muslim might actually get offered or given or otherwise exposed to a Bible (gasp)- oh the humanity
Someone needs to send Bibles by balloon into Saudi Arabia- it's just as big a gulag as North Korea
CAIR in my opinion would be like the US Nazi Party in 1942 advising FDR on how to fight Hitler...
was it last year or the year before where we got to see a photo of the Christmas tree and it had a commie mass murderer on it?
Anyway I see the free loading family don’t go all out infact they go nothing for Christmas and I think one of the media asked the big bum wookie what she got her husband to which she replied we don’t do presents.
Of course no follow up, no mass coverage no just another cover up by this biased left wing media.
Just getting past this will not be the end of it by any stretch. We must DESTROY this evil ideology. We do that by wholesale prosecution, if we can ever get enough power again, that is.
Ditto that!
This is just a warm and fuzzy ‘preview’ of what another term under Barry Soetero (the Marxist Muslim) would look like. And like he said....he’s just gettin started. At least....he “thinks”. We’re about to show him just how finished and ‘done’ (read toast here) he is.
It’s time for Christian conservatives to rise up and put this leftist POS out of our lives. Whichever Rep wins the primary, we MUST support him with every fiber of our being!
