President Obama's new "religious tolerance" consultant to the Pentagon, Mikey Weinstein, wants Christian military service members who openly talk about their faith in uniform to be charged with treason, which is a crime punishable by death according to military law.
By employing his consulting services, and as Commander-in-Chief, President Obama is effectively endorsing Weinstein's recently voiced and written views such as: "Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized [sic] and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation's armed forces."
Weinstein's inflamed word picture helps the rest of us understand what the world looks like to those who live with their eyes wide shut and sort of sounds like that old cereal commercial... except this time Mikey doesn't like it - Christianity, that is, so no one else should. And Mikey's giving the rest of us an object lesson in intolerance by showing us what liberal secularists are about: "It's our way, or we shut you down." In this case, Obama's anti-Christian hit man, Weinstein, proposes that honorable men and women in the military who speak about their faith should be charged with a crime worthy of capital punishment. Smells like bull to me.
In recent months, there has been a push against Christianity in the military. A few notables include a military training instructor labeling Jews, Christians, Catholics and Mormons as extremists alongside al Qaeda. The Army blocked a Southern Baptist website, citing it displayed "hostile content," (the Pentagon has since blamed it on a malware glitch), and an Army email was distributed warning fellow soldiers to beware of Christian ministry "hate groups." Each of these incidents could be reasoned-away individually, but they all have one thing in common: Intolerance has an unmistakable stench.
News has it that Mr. Weinstein endorsed the Southern Poverty Law Center's recent statement listing certain Christian organizations as hate groups. He also whole-heartedly agreed with comments made by radical Army Lt. Col. Jack Rich, who told his subordinates to be on the lookout for dangerous Christian soldiers who should be expelled from the military for their beliefs.
Lauding the Lt. Colonel's statement in a Huffington Post anti-Christian hit piece April 16, Weinstein said, "We should as a nation effusively applaud Lt. Col. Rich," and said America should go further to "vigorously support the continuing efforts to expose pathologically anti-gay, Islamaphobic, and rabidly intolerant agitators for what they are: die-hard enemies of the United States Constitution. Monsters, one and all. To do anything less would be to roll out a red carpet to those who would usher in a blood-drenched, draconian era of persecutions, nationalistic militarism, and superstitious theocracy."
Gee, if I didn't know better, I'd think he was speaking about why we are fighting the war on terror.
Religious intolerance reached the proverbial Foggy Bottom in the same article when Weinstein described Christians as "those evil fundamentalist Christian creatures" who hide behind the "facades" of "family values" and "religious liberty." The same attributes could be also pinned to America's founders, whom I suppose Mr. Intolerance would also deem as subversives.
It is obvious, foamy-mouthed Mikey has a bone to pick with Christians, and he's found an effective way to get what he wants by working for the president and the president's new military "yes man" Secretary Chuck Hagel.
Our fine men and women of the military, who are part of a historically noble institution, deserve so much better but are once again the punching bag at the expense of this intolerant administration.
That was my first inclination. But on second thought, I think Christians should sign up as many as possible and overwhelm the military. Do you want all the military power of the US in the hands of atheist “progressives”? I don’t.
The day is coming when the federal government will turn those weapons on citizens and the best hope is to have a Christian military which will not obey an unlawful or immoral or unconstitutional order. JMO.
I, too, find that interesting.
I think the communist cheerleader is shifting into high gear. Paging Mr Robespierre: the White House and Congress are stinking up the country and need a through cleaning ASAP.
Spelling Fail: THOROUGH not through (sorry)
And actually, blast effects are extremely predictable. That, was a miracle. But what haunts me, is what is the stories of all the other people in the last 4/5ths of the bus? It brings up such a huge sorrow in my soul to this day, and tears to my eyes. Living with terrorism and war brings many such feelings , I suspect for the rest of my life.
The US was consecrated to God by our forefathers. As a nation, we have become as ancient Israel. Once again, God will us vile and ungodly nations to inact his judgement.
Bingo
Operators will not see their targets as humans or civilians or Americans. Just targets, like the ones on their video games they grew up with.
I am sick to death of pussified ‘conservatives’ that scream at Obama’s legion of evils and not a freaking peep about the ‘opposition party’ that refuses to oppose.
Yes. Obama sucks. Everyone KNOWS. So why stand here and cower while the GOP funds his every desire, says OK!!! whenever Holder tells them no and sides with him on illegal aliens.
I a,m tired of ‘its all we got”. Really? Then we ‘got’ nothing. And people continuing to empower these useless cowards are every bit our problem as a political movement./rant
Nice rant.
I can’t deal with these people much more. Follow that post back to the source and you’ll see why.
>> Telling Christians NOT to proclaim is no different than telling Christians that they are not permitted to practice their religion.
Exactly.
No, no thanks, dealing with a Rubio amnesty lover on another thread, then I’m going outside! Have fun!
>> I am sick to death of pussified ‘conservatives’ that
The bullying will stop when bully gets his ass kicked.
The Liberals are burning down all the protections against Gods Wrath.
Not realizing the house of cards soaked in gasoline they have built of our nation. It is their time to state their faith in man over God. Once it is fully implemented, God will reply.
Amen!
B.O. supports and celebrates:
In the mean time, I believe he should also be fought on each of these issues ceaselessly until he loses, and that none of these issues should be quietly conceded.
So, again I say, Amen, and include a link here for that song you referenced.

The Resurrection is not about special singers and white lilies at a gathering in a pretty building on a Sunday in March or April.
It’s about a dead man conquering death.
And for the government to say to Christians that they can’t tell others about that absolutely amazing event is to go against the instructions Christians have received from Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Apostles and a great cloud of Saints. It is to criminalize Christianity.
As I recall, that’s the choice the Roman emperors gave the early Christians: stop proclaiming or die.
Yet we Christians and "teaparty terriosts" can go to hell! Because this administration will give our 15 year old girls abortion drugs over the counter with no parental consent and if you object, we just may take your kid away from you people that are conducting a war on women by trying to save an innocent baby's life.
And now you can get court marshaled if you speak about God and his word?
I agree.
The derelicts are shocking the Christian way of life in this great Country. The difficulty of the individual challenges are not taken lightly.
May Christians here at home and around the World prevail in the most peaceful and positive manner possible. Hell is making its rounds.
Yes, I suppose you are right-but most atheists I have known don’t seem to care about anything...so I guess I am just judging according to my own little corner of the world...never thought of it that way-thank you.
