Fort Hood soldiers say Army warned them off tea party, Christian groups
The Washington Times ^ | 10/24/2012 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Posted on 10/25/2013 3:16:59 AM PDT by markomalley

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."

And Yorktown was 1781. The Constitution was adopted 1788.(9th colony/state ratified it)

IOW it was 12 years from the Declaration to an infant USA. This will be a series of long battles.

Americans are also being desensitized about how the government through the police can kill indiscriminately.

Yesterday, there was a story that the USAF is thinking about dropping an oath to God. So, the spawn of the 60’s generation who sent the LORD to the curb in our nation is now trying to kick the LORD out of everything American military. How's that workin’ for ya there hippy-spawn God haters?

Psalm 127:1

“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.”

“HUH, the English in Scotland and then Ireland, faced them in France and them. What on earth has that first paragraph got to do with the military”

Ok, I’ll spell it out for you..

It’s all about God. Start there...
Can’t worship God where my family came from way back..
This country the U.S.A. was founded by Christians for God.

France is about....Huguenots, some of my people, they left France (Germanic). see St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre 1572 that date is on a lot of calendars.

Scotland is about....My people moved to Scotland from France, they tried to kill us there to for worshiping God.

Ireland is about....My people mover to Ireland..Belfast. They killed us there to for worshiping God.

U.S.A. is about.....My people moved to USA 1700’s.........

It always starts with the armed forces.
They will try it here to..

History repeats itself over and over.

Oh, yes I forgot: everyone’s constitutional rights completely evaporate when they join the armed forces.

Names. We always need names. Who was the alleged bleephole counter intelligence genius shooting off his mouth? Without a name the story is junk.

Some will for sure. Those who do, and the Jack Boot agencies, won’t know what hits them when they do try to finish the frog off. They think we’re ALL just decedent pleasure seekers.

Sounds to me like another general officer will be out looking for work. It’s an epidemic. Don’t be surprised if it is shortly reversed again and various generals are asked to resign for the good of their pension.

I for one have never believed that. There are soldiers who will fire upon American people if so ordered. But there are just as many who absolutely will not. I know some of those personally. Mostly they are grunts and Marines, some special ops types some not but almost all are Christians. They will never turn their weapons on the citizenry.

The American Family Association?

Why not put Billy Graham on the list?
