Breitbart News reported last week that Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) passed an amendment in the House Armed Services Committee protecting religious speech of service members in the military. President Barack Obama has now threatened to veto the bill if it passes the full House and Senate.
SNIP
In other words, Obama says he will veto any bill that forbids his appointees or officers from telling a soldier that he cannot mention Jesus during prayer or have a Bible on his desk, or that keeps those appointees from telling a chaplain (who is an ordained clergyman) what religious teachings he is allowed to give in worship services, or what spiritual counseling he can give to another soldier.
Ambassador Ken Blackwell, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission, tells Breitbart News:
President Obama is waging a war on religion. He and Chuck Hagel are denying the most basic rights to those who put their lives on the line to protect all of our rights. It is shameful and appalling. I am confident that congressional leadership will show courage to stand up for our troops against this radical assault on religious liberty in the military.

Obama’s assualt on the military contines. With corrupt generals like Petraeus, Casey and others; allowing queers to infiltrate; and now a full on assault on Christians - the end is nearly here.

Meanwhile the Muslim scum at Gitmo, also known by real Americans as our enemies, are given full freedom to practice their vile worship of a pedophile prophet.

Maybe they should get rid of all chaplains in the military. What good is a Christian chaplain who cannot talk about Jesus. Who needs Wiccan chaplains, Muslim chaplains, etc.
To: greyfoxx39; All
Note that if Congress is actually serious about this military religious expression bill, as opposed to trying to win votes for next election even if Obama vetoes it, that Article I, Section 7, Clause 2 of Constitution shows that Congress can override a presidential veto with enough votes.

President Obama is waging a war on religion. No, he is waging a war on Christianity. He has no problem with Islam being forced on the troops.

That Marxist Maggot is totally opposed to the First Amendment - as well as the Second and Fourth! This confirmed Christian reserves the right to Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, and specifically the right to invoke the name of our Heavenly Father in public discourse.
Atheists and Muslims, stand down!
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

“President Obama is waging a war on religion.”
To hell with that.He’s not waging a war on religion,He’s waging a war on Christianity and Judaism.
This guy is an in your face Muslim and there is No hiding it.He said that he would stand with the Muslims and he’s proving it here.
