Don’t donate to the tea party or to evangelical Christian groups — that was the message soldiers at a pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood said they received from a counter-intelligence agent who headed up the meeting.
If you do, you could face punishment — that was the other half of the message, as reported by Fox News.
The briefing was Oct. 17, and about a half-hour of it was devoted to discussion about how perceived radical groups — like tea party organizations and the Christian-based American Family Association — were "tearing the country apart," one unnamed soldier said, to Fox News.
Among the remarks the agent allegedly made: Military members who donate to these groups would be subject to discipline under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the soldier reported.
Liberty Institute has stepped in to investigate. Michael Berry, one of the nonprofit's attorneys, said he has been advising the soldier about his options — but that in the meanwhile, he said the American public should be on guard.
"The American public should be outraged that the U.S. Army is teaching our troops that evangelical Christians and tea party members are enemies of America and that they can be punished for supporting or participating in those groups," Mr. Berry said, in Fox News. "These statements about evangelicals being domestic enemies are a serious charge."

Well, I can remember the last time the Tea Party rioted on the Washington Mall. They caused tens of thousands of dollars worth of litter cleanup.
The Pentagon now arms al Qaeda,
defends Hasan AND HIS HANDLERS,
and makes AMERICANS their enemy.
This will not end well.
Sending this to my Congressman and Senator. I want them to get to the bottom of this. If true, some heads better damn sure roll.
American troops are being systematically desensitized of the notion that American Citizens have rights. The PTB are targeting certain sections of the population and tagging them as "Enemies of the State"...
No matter what, this does not end well for people who do not toe the liberal line.
The progressives are making a multi-front concerted effort to turn the military.
If Fast & Furious, IRS, Benghazi, and others didn't cause any heads to roll, I am afraid you are SOL.
The only way heads are going to roll is the same way they did during the French revolution....by the hands of the people.
If Fast & Furious, IRS, Benghazi, and others didn't cause any heads to roll, I am afraid you are SOL.
If Congress were really patriotic and just, they would impeach and convict themselves for failing to impeach Traitorobama and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
The odds are not good when you bet on evil men to do good.
sounds like someone is out to turn these young men and women and their military chain of command against fellow Americnas who are their own families, churches and neighbors since the “TEA” (Taxed Enough Already)Party is probably the sentiment of over half of Americans and will grow when folks get their obamacare tax bills
If this is so!
No sweat, we faced this and them in France, then later on the English in Scotland, then later on in Ireland. So, it’s no surprize to face them again here in the U.S.A. It’s the same people trying to take away Our God and freedom and shed our blood again. Y’all have just forgotten.
Those in power know they have driven us into the last corner (The USA).
The gov. knows (thinks) that this will be the end of those that have have always stood in their way. There is no where FOR FREEDOM to run now.
You must fight again soon like your forefathers did.
It’s an all or nothing fight to the finish for freedom. Get ready..
If it comes, except your war with vigor. It will be your last one God willing..
This is America. When 20 million or so Mother raised, God fearing hunters rise up against this tyranny government, they will fold up like a cheap suit. That’s a fact Jack..
That this is happening AFTER an islamic terrorist in soldier’s clothing shot up the base makes this all the more outrageous.
That this is happening AFTER said islamic terrorist was seen for what he was and people were told to look the other way...words fail me.
“This will not end well.”
No, it won’t. But that has been the Obastard’s plan all along, and his lickspittle lackeys — especially those in the MSM — know it, and approve of it.
“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” — Winston Churchill
I’m with ya triSranch.
It’s a shame I had to get down to the 12th post before I found someone that wasn’t posting a defeatist comment.
Too many FReepers are ready to give up before the first shot is fired.

That’s the Spirit!!
It’s getting ugly out there.
We’re probably in 1773. The Boston tea party was 1774. Lexington and Concord were 1775.
It won’t end well for anyone.
