The Pentagon’s War On Religion

With the repeal of the Clinton era “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy allowing gays to quietly serve in America’s armed forces, the politically correct goons in the Department of Defense are working to silence any opposition to the gay agenda. Military Chaplains are being silenced. Soldiers are being taught to equate Christians with extremists and racists who preach violence against non-believers.

The Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty sent a letter to the House Armed Services Committee, warning that Military Chaplains are being threatened by higher brass to keep quiet about their opposition to homosexual marriages.  The organization has pointed out that in some cases, Chaplain military careers have been damaged; and at least one man of the cloth was told to resign. Despite denial from a Pentagon spokesman, the reality of Chaplains in the field proves otherwise. After all, the Commander in Chief opposes any freedom of religion protections for chaplains or troops.

A recent incident involved military personnel identifying Christians and Jews as extremists or members of a hate group. A U.S. Army Instructor identified members of Christian and Jewish groups as extremists, equating them with al-Qaeda and the Ku Klux Klan! Despite denials from the Pentagon that this was indeed Army policy, the mere fact that it was part of a lesson plan should raise flags. After all, the instructor was using training materials supplied by the US Army. Where the Army obtained them is another story. Maybe they were on sale by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

An Army Lt. Col. from Ft. Campbell, Kentucky sent an e-mail to subordinates warning that any Christian groups that oppose homosexuality are hate groups and to “look out” for troops that may support these groups. To quote the colonel, “they aren’t upholding Army values.” Really?  Is this man’s Army no longer allowed to honor God and Country?

General George Washington was a religious man who wanted to side with divine providence. In order to ensure the Blessings of God, he required that the Army have Chaplains. Today, it appears that the military of General Dempsey–with advice from the gay and Muslim communities–is quietly trying to disband the Chaplain corps.

Congressman Challenges Colleagues To Press Obama On Benghazi

By Congressman Steve Stockman (R-TX)

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas 36) released the following open letter to Congress Tuesday afternoon, encouraging members to support Congressman Frank Wolf’s bill creating a Select Committee to investigate the Obama administration’s response to the Sept. 11, 2012 killings of Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

Dear Colleague:

As a fellow member of this body, I feel that we should protect and honor the sacrifice of those who sacrifice their lives to provide us with the freedoms that make our nation great.

In that same spirit, we should investigate and seek the truth about what happened on that tragic day in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.

These four men served their nation with honor and character in the face of danger, and we likewise should honor their memory in seeking the truth about what actually took place that fateful day.

The purpose of this letter is to encourage colleagues of the House of Representatives to support Congressman Wolf’s H.Res. 36, which will create a House Select Committee on the Terrorist Attack in Benghazi.

It is essential that a full accounting of the events of September 11, 2012, be provided and that the American public be fully informed regarding this egregious terrorist attack on US diplomatic personnel and facilities.

We owe that truth to the American people and the families of the fallen.

It appears that many of the facts and details surrounding the terrorist attack which resulted in four American deaths and an undetermined number of American casualties have not yet been ascertained by previous hearings and inquiries.

Additional information is now slowly surfacing in the media, which makes a comprehensive bipartisan inquiry an imperative. Many questions have not been answered thus far.

The House Select Committee should address, at a minimum, the following questions:

1.      Why was there no military response to the events in Benghazi?

a.       Were military assets in the region available? If not, why not?

b.      If so, were they alerted?

c.       Were assets deployed to any location in preparation for a rescue or recovery attempt?

d.      Was military assistance requested by the Department of State? If so, what type?

e.       Were any US Army/Naval/USMC assets available to support the US diplomats in Benghazi during the attack?

f.        What, if any, recommendations for military action were made by DOD and the US Africa Command?

2.      What, if any, non-military assistance was provided during the attack?

3.      How many US personnel were injured in Benghazi?

4.      Why have the survivors of the attack not been questioned?

5.      Where are the survivors?

6.      Who was in the White House Situation Room (WHSR) during the entire 8-hour period of the attacks, and was a senior US military officer present?

7.      Where were Leon Panetta and General Martin Dempsey during the crisis, and what inputs and recommendations did they make?

8.      Where were Tom Donilon, the National Security Advisor, Denis McDonough, his deputy, Valerie Jarrett and John Brennan during the attacks, and what (if any) recommendations or decisions did any of them make?

9.      Why were F-16 fighter aircraft based in Aviano, Italy (less than two hours away) never considered a viable option for disruption (if not dispersal) of the attackers until “boots on the ground” (troop support–General Dempsey’s words) arrived?

10.  Were any

Fish Rots From The Head Down; More On Benghazi

By Jim Emerson

Obama Who Is Benghazi SC Fish Rots from the Head Down; More on Benghazi

This President was raised as a spoiled brat; his mother and grandparents coddled and spoiled the man-child during his formative years. Spoiled brats tend to become narcissistic, demanding, and disrespectful.  Spoiled adults tend to have an overestimation of their talents and abilities and shirk responsibility if anything goes wrong. They must always be at the center of attention; if not, they will most likely abuse drugs or alcohol to escape reality.

On February 7th during his last testimony as Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta stated that he informed Mr. Obama that the diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya was under attack. Not wanting to get his hands dirty with a possibly embarrassing situation that may harm his chance of re-election, Obama passed the buck to Mr. Panetta by telling him to “do whatever you need to do to be able to protect our people there.” Mr. Obama was incommunicado for the nest six hours while Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans were being murdered. Mr. Panetta and General Dempsey did nothing but watch. Secretary Clinton was nowhere to be found. The only people who had the courage to take action were relieved of command. The administration follows the lead of its head, Obama; as he does nothing, they do nothing.

Uncaring

When asked to explain their actions, the only response is a careless disregard for the dead with a battle cry of “What difference does it make”  or “The United States military is not and should not be a global 911 service capable of arriving on the scene within minutes to every possible contingency around the world.” The absence of leadership and accountability should send a powerful message to the troops and State Department employees abroad. The United States government under Obama does not care about them.

Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism John Brennan may well be the man responsible for the attack on Benghazi. Brennan is the man running the Drone assassination program. According to “Benghazi: The Definitive Report”, the attack on the consulate was in retaliation for Drone strikes against terrorist groups inside Libya. Brennan ran the operations with JSOC, something that couldn’t be done without orders from the White House, to conduct a drone war without any oversight.

Holder’s Justice Department created a memo that would allow the Obama Administration to kill anyone anywhere, including Americans. This document attempts to grant Obama and Brennan the power to kill without any annoying legal recourse.

The lap dog media never links this to Obama. Like any weak parent of a spoiled brat, they cave to his will. The media is ignoring the stench of the rotting fish, thinking it is Michelle’s perfume.
