It’s an Obama World… Gay Flag Flies at Afghan Base But the Christian Cross Is Banned
Gateway Pundit ^ | 3/29/2012

It’s an Obama world. The gay flag flew over a U.S. military base in Afghanistan this week.

The Pentagon forced an Army post in Afghanistan to remove a cross on its worship tent in December. It was offensive to liberal atheists.

Obama and the Democratic Party has declared war on America. So far, America is surrendering.

There is no way God will let this stand. People who say this nation can recover its lost glory are just delusional now. Rampant degradation, perversion and all forms of corruption are the basis of the American way now. A comment here earlier is so true. Take down a cross because its offensive, complain about a gay flag and your an intolerant homophobe. Enough is enough. How much more will we sit and take. A quote from a recent episode of Justified comes to mind when the villian is asked what he’s going to do about some stuff going on he hates. He smiles and says, “I’m going eat a big steaming plateful of S**t and smile.” Well I’m not smiling anymore.

My husband is retiring from active duty this fall. I’m so glad.

The bad part is this idiot will sign his retirement papers.

The comments on the page are nauseating.

A hoard of useful idiots fawning and preening over what a “beautiful sentiment” this is ....

My God, what have we allowed to be done to our military??

One of the comments is telling . ..”Wow, Great but also a bit scary.” or some such thing.

Yeah, bud — guess that means perhaps YOU and your buttbuddies just MIGHT be expected now to serve ....Oh, you mean none of this actually meant you were truly interested in serving? Oh, I get it now. :(

military and cops eventually all become loyal to their paychecks and their benefits and pensions....look at any totalitarian govt and you'll see the loyal military...

high ranking military now are being rewarded for being good little sheeple....

imagine this so called soldier will get his promotion soon...

all it takes is for some of the officiers to be homos....they'll protect and promote their own...

this is what happened to howood....the homos took control and "meated" out movie roles, etc to those favored....IMO of course....

but eventually, we'll need to force people to join the military and when you force people to do something, they get uppity ....

and don't rely on leftist cowards to fight for this country.....maybe against their own people, but someplace like Afghanistan?...not in a million years...

They will not overturn it. It has been six months since repeal and no problems (so they claim). The troops have been mighty quite about it.

Maybe now we have shower tent time and bathhouse tent time

Better check which flag is flying before you walk in with your soap and towel. If the rainbow flag is flying, better use soap on a rope

Pentagon spokesperson Commander William Speaks confirmed the cross was removed and told POLITICO, “The removal was, in fact, in accordance with Army regulations” and pointed out that the Army chaplain manual prohibits permanent display of religious symbols.

“Distinctive religious symbols, such as crosses… will not be affixed or displayed permanently on the chapel interior, exterior or grounds,” reads the manual.

Huh?

As it has been many moons (as my mentor Rush is fond of saying) since I served (some 40+ years ago) and as I can't exactly remember if the chapels on the many USAF installations I served on had crosses or not, can anyone edify me as to whether this has always been the official policy or something his Neo-Commie, Fascist Admin has instituted on his own?

Thanks for the heads up.

it’s really sad isn’t it.

My oldest was ready for the Citadel, he was going for West Point but wanted to stay south , now those plans have changed and the military will miss out on some good boys joining.

I doubt Romney will over turn this but at least he could do a proper review of this and then listen to the top Generals of which was never done.

Next it will be overturn DOMA, get homosexual marriage in the country all around and then force Catholics etc to marry them and then have this taught to little kids in the schools.
