May 2, 2013, 7:47 pmObama to DOD: Courts Martial for the Faithful

Obama to DoD: Courts Martial for the Faithful

By Mark Alexander · May 2, 2013   Print   PDF

"While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian." --George Washington (1778)

Summary: Under the pretense of "religious tolerance," Barack Obama and his Leftist regime have endeavored to remove any expression or manifestation of faith, particularly Christianity, from government forums -- first and foremost, the U.S. military. This week, his civilian "leaders" at DoD ramped up that eradication, promising to bring criminal charges against any military personnel who express or share their faith.

The DoD's Frontal Assault on Faith

2013-05-02-alexander-1.jpg

Today we observe the National Day of Prayer, but if you're active duty or reserve military, you'd better not mention that to any of your fellow compatriots in uniform, or invite them to join in a prayer vigil, lest you find yourself in front of a military tribunal.

You read that correctly. It is no small irony this week that the Obama administration is suppressing faith rather than celebrating it.

The Left is constantly endeavoring to replace Rule of Law with the rule of men. Because the former is predicated on the principle of Liberty "endowed by our Creator," Obama's administrators constantly look for ways to undermine Rule of Law by driving wedges between our Liberty and its foundational endowment.

The highest profile and most influential sector of government, where Obama and his cadres can exercise the greatest degree of immediate dictatorial power in order to dislocate that endowment, is the Department of Defense.

In 2010, unable to reverse the Defense of Marriage Act (an affirmation of timeless principles upheld by all faiths), Obama called on his party-controlled House and Senate to force the institutionalization of gender-disorientation pathology in the military ranks -- a brazen internal assault on military order.

In a last legislative act on behalf of his most flamboyant constituency, Democrats passed and Obama signed his "do ask -- do tell" legislation -- just days before the resounding Republican 2010 midterm takeover in the House.

At that time, Obama declared, "This law will strengthen our national security" -- this despite the fact that the greatest military breach of national security in history, the release of volumes of classified reports to WikiLeaks info anarchist Julian Assange, had just been allegedly committed by Army PFC Bradley Manning, because he was disgruntled over the breakup with his homosexual partner.? Republicans may now control the House, but that isn't stopping Obama from a far bolder assault on Liberty and our military -- one that requires no legislative approval from Congress: expelling God from the trenches.

Under the pretense of "tolerance" and comporting with the errant assertion of a "Wall of Separation" grossly distorting the First Amendment's succinct provision that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," Obama has decreed the removal of any expression or manifestation of faith within the ranks of the U.S. military.

Post Your Opinion

From Day One of the Obama regime's rise to power, there have been numerous instances of incremental implementation of this assault on faith within the ranks, and the Air Force has been the administration's primary target since it is considered to be the most "faith-saturated" branch of service.

2013-05-02-alexander-2.jpg

For example, at the Air Force Academy, we discovered that the words "so help me God" have been deleted from the cadet handbook's text of the cadet Oath of Allegiance and the officer Oath of Office. When The Patriot Post inquired with the AFA's public affairs office as to why those words had been removed from the handbook, the PAO dodged the question and tersely responded that we could file a "Freedom of Information Act" request. In other words: "Take a hike."

Obama's latest endeavor to eradicate expressions of faith by military personnel, however, is neither subtle nor incremental.

The loudest indication of this audacious abolition initiative was the directive from Obama's civilian leadership at the Pentagon last week that ultra-leftist Mikey Weinstein and Larry Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Colin Powell, should vet the Air Force's new instructional guide on "religious tolerance."

Weinstein, who graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1977, is now a left-wing lawyer and founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, dedicated to freedom from religion, not freedom of religion.

This is the same atheist who, in 2011, demanded and received an apology from the AFA for its cadet support of "Operation Christmas Child," which assembles and fills millions of shoe boxes with toys, school supplies and other gifts for impoverished children in 130 countries! Weinstein objected because OCC places a Christian tract in those boxes.

Among many other examples of Weinstein's crusade against Christianity, in 2012 he went after a Marine fighter squadron that changed its name from "Werewolves" to "Crusaders," with a cross and shield insignia. That squadron was forced to revert to "Werewolves."

2013-05-02-alexander-3.jpg

In a vicious treatise on his view of faith and the military, actually entitled "Fundamentalist Christian Monsters," Weinstein wrote: "Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation's armed forces. ... We must vigorously support the continuing efforts to expose [these] agitators for what they are: die-hard enemies of the United States Constitution. Monsters, one and all. To do any 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."

Weinstein insists that Christians sharing their faith in the military are "enemies of the Constitution," and that Christianity is "a national security threat. The Pentagon needs to understand it is sedition and treason. It should be punished. Until the Air Force or Army or Navy or Marine Corps punishes a member of the military for unconstitutional religious proselytizing and oppression, we will never have the ability to stop this horrible, horrendous, dehumanizing behavior. ... It is a version of being spiritually raped and you are being spiritually raped by fundamentalist Christian religious predators."

Apparently, Weinstein was inculcated with the same "god <snip> America" doctrine of hate and intolerance that Jeremiah Wright preached to Barack Obama.

Post Your Opinion

According to Wilkerson, an MRFF Board member, "The armed forces are on the verge of falling apart," because of "sexual assault, suicides, lowering entrance standards and war weariness. They are in trouble, and the ... chain of command is compliant. Condoning of sexual assault or proselytizing is an abuse of command."

So these are the people Obama recommends as gatekeepers for "religious tolerance and diversity" in the military? Of course, the problem is not "condoning faith," but condemning it.

The 27 page Air Force directive, which notes on its cover, "COMPLIANCE WITH THIS PUBLICATION IS MANDATORY," is by design, so ambiguous that virtually anyone could be brought up on charges: "Leaders at all levels must avoid the actual or apparent use of their position to promote their personal religious beliefs to their subordinates or to extend preferential treatment for any religion."

"Actual or apparent use"?

Responding to an inquiry about whether Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines could be prosecuted for sharing their faith, a DoD statement this week concluded, "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense. ... Courts martial and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis."

According to Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William "Jerry" Boykin: "The very troops who defend our religious freedom are at risk of having their own taken away. ... Christians within the military who speak of their faith could now be prosecuted as enemies of the state. It's a matter of what do they mean by 'proselytizing.' ... If you're talking about the free exercise of our faith by individual soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, especially for the chaplains, then I think the worst thing we can do is stop the ability for a soldier to be able to exercise his faith."

Of course, the success of the Socialist Democratic Party assault on Liberty is predicated on the success of its efforts to oppress faith, especially in the military.

American Patriots in uniform are the frontline defenders of our nation's foundation of Liberty. Unlike Obama and his government administrators, military Patriots uphold their oath to "support and defend" our Constitution with their blood, and for most, with the appeal, "so help me God."

Post Your Opinion

If they are ultimately accountable to a higher authority answer than Obama, that is a direct threat to his power.

2013-05-02-alexander-4.jpg

I am left to ponder what would be the fate today of a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs if he issued the following directive to all military personnel: "While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian."

That is an excerpt from the General Orders issued by George Washington on the 2nd of May 1778, after his Continental Army barely survived the brutal winter at Valley Forge.

A year earlier, just days after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Washington decreed, "The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country."

Were a modern-day warrior to emulate the example set by the Father of Our Country, Obama and Weinstein would surely haul him before a military tribunal.

GUN OWNERS

Think About It, then Pass It On.......  PLEASE !!!
According to the left wing zealots we have in politics, we are not supposed to judge all Muslims by the acts of a few "crazies".
But the acts of a few American "crazies" is enough to judge all Americans who own guns!

April 3, 2013, 10:40 amFour retirees visit a bar

Four retiress visit a bar

Four old retired men are walking down a street in Yuma , Arizona

They turn a corner and see a sign that says, "Old Timers Bar - ALL drin10 cents."
 
 
They look at each other and then go in, thinking this is too good to be
 true.
 
 
The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, "Come on
 in and let me pour one for you!
 
 
What'll it be, gentlemen?"
 There's a fully stocked bar, so each of the men orders a martini.
 In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken, not stirred
 and says, "That'll be 10 cents each, please."
 
 
The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment, then at each other.
 
 
They can't believe their good luck.
 
 
They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.
 Again, four excellent martinis are produced, with the bartender again
 saying, "That's 40 cents, please."
 
 
They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity gets the better of them.
 
 
They've each had two martinis and haven't even spent a dollar yet.
 
 
Finally one of them says, "How can you afford to serve martinis as good as
 these for a dime apiece?"
 
 
"I'm a retired tailor from Phoenix ," the bartender says, "and I always
 wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million
 and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime. Wine, liquor,
 beer
 it's all the same."
 
"Wow! That's some story!" one of the men says.
 As the four of them sip at their martinis, they can't help noticing seven
 other people at the end of the bar who don't have any drinks in front of
 them and haven't ordered anything the whole time they've been there
 
 
Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar, one of the men asks the
 Bartender, "What's with them?"
 The bartender says, "They're retired people from Minnesota . They're
 waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price, plus they all have
 coupons..."

If the government plan for getting people back to work is to provide
incentives for not working through 99 weeks of unemployment checks
without any requirement to prove they sought but couldn’t find work, 
you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. 

If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big
screen TV while your neighbor buys iPhones, wall-sized plasma
do-it-all TV's and new cars, and the government forgives his debt
when he defaults on his mortgage, you might live in a nation founded
by geniuses but run by idiots. 

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more
safe according to the government, you might live in a nation founded
by geniuses but run by idiots. 

What a country!

 
Makes one wonder, which country is being referenced?

March 16, 2013, 2:28 pm1934 Chicago Tribune Political Cartoon

(Came in an e-mail, I can't post the cartoon but will put it in text:

____________________________________________________________

It is very important that you closely inspect the 1934 cartoon below.

Keep in mind there were Communist and Marxist operatives in the USA in 1934 when we were in the middle of the Great Depression.

This cartoon was in the Chicago Tribune in 1934.

Look carefully at the Communist’s "Plan of Action" in the lower left corner.

Plan of Action for U.S.

Spend! Spend! Spend!

Under the guise of recovery- bust the government - blame the capitalists for the failure - junk the Constitution and decalre a dictatorship.

March 15, 2013, 12:27 amTax loophole costs billions- guess who benefits

Tax loophole costs billions

  • Millions of illegal immigrants are getting a bigger tax refund than you. Eyewitness News shows a massive tax loophole that provides billions of dollars in tax credits to undocumented workers and, in many cases, people who have never stepped foot in the United States. And you are paying for it!

Note: See all follow-up stories here.

INDIANAPOLIS - Inside his central Indiana office, a longtime tax consultant sits at his desk, shaking his head in disbelief.

"There is not a doubt in my mind there's huge fraud taking place here," he said, slowly flipping through the pages of a tax return.

The tax preparer does not want you to know his name for fear of reprisal, but he does want you to know about a nationwide problem with a huge price tag.

He came to 13 Investigates to blow the whistle.

"We're talking about a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme here that's taking place and no one is talking about it," he said.

The scheme involves illegal immigrants -- illegal immigrants who are filing tax returns.

How it works

The Internal Revenue Service says everyone who is employed in the United States – even those who are working here illegally – must report income and pay taxes. Of course, undocumented workers are not supposed to have a social security number. So for them to pay taxes, the IRS created what's called an ITIN, an individual taxpayer identification number. A 9-digit ITIN number issued by the IRS provides both resident and nonresident aliens with a unique identification number that allows them to file tax returns.

While that may have seemed like a good idea, it's now backfiring in a big way.

Each spring, at tax preparation offices all across the nation, many illegal immigrants are now eagerly filing tax returns to take advantage of a tax loophole, using their ITIN numbers to get huge refunds from the IRS.

The loophole is called the Additional Child Tax Credit. It's a fully-refundable credit of up to $1000 per child, and it's meant to help working families who have children living at home. 

But 13 Investigates has found many undocumented workers are claiming the tax credit for kids who live in Mexico – lots of kids in Mexico.

March 9, 2013, 9:52 pmAnother example of a pc military

This is an e-mail from the VFW:

I’m asking you to immediately contact your members of Congress to urge their support of H.R. 833 and S. 470 to lower the ranking of the new Distinguished Warfare Medal to below the Purple Heart.

Why?

Because in a letter written directly to me, the Defense Department again said they would not lower the status of the medal, which now ranks 9th highest out of five dozen current medals and ribbons in the order of precedence – and you don't have to go to war to earn it!

As of this morning, H.R. 833 had only 41 sponsors out of 435 members of the House, and S. 470 had only 10 sponsors out of 100 members of the Senate. We need more!

This VFW-supported legislation has bipartisan support because it is the right thing to do for the troops who go into harm's way and not home every night.

This is a policy disagreement over the placement of the new medal, not whether drone operators, cyber warriors and others deserve to be properly recognized for the tremendous impact they are bringing to the battlefield in real-time.

  The VFW adamantly believes that medals that can only be earned in combat must rank higher than new medals awarded in the rear!

  Tell your members of Congress to support H.R. 833 and S. 470 today!

February 22, 2013, 5:46 pmIs this the change?

Income Redistribution: Federal Spending Up, and So Is Poverty

We finally found an instance in which Obama administration numbers add up. Unfortunately, we mean it literally -- they really add UP. In 2009 -- or, as we call it, the Early Dark Ages -- newly elected Barack Obama claimed that his $800 billion stimulus would reduce the number of Americans living in poverty by two million. Specifically, he promised his plan would "help poor and working Americans pull themselves into the middle class in a way we haven't seen in nearly 50 years." Besides being dead wrong on that account, in the first two years of Obama's presidency, the number of Americans living in poverty rose by 2.6 million. According to the Census Bureau in 2009, 43.6 million Americans were living below the poverty line. Jump ahead to 2011 and the number climbs to 46.2 million.

And that's not all. During the same period, the number of Americans on food stamps rose from 31.9 million to more than 47.6 million, which, as CNS News points out, represents a 49.3 percent increase and brings the number of food-stamp recipients in the U.S. to more than the entire population of Spain.

In many cases, numbers "adding up" is a good thing, but when they add up to nearly 50 million Americans living in poverty under this administration, there's nothing good about that.
