How much more of this ridiculous, socialist crap are we going to
take?
IN GOD WE TRUST!
. The soldiers who wake up in
Walter Reed Medical Center are in Maryland --not communist China . But under
the Navy's new rules, they may not know the difference!
After months of
peeling away the military's core
values, Obama's army is on the move.
And this time, it has a high-value target: the Bible.
In a memo obtained by FRC, Navy officials have announced that
"no religious items (including Bibles, reading material, and/or
artifacts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit."
The new
orders are buried in a four-page document about patient care, which an Army
officer forwarded to us in disbelief. Effective immediately, families,
friends, and even pastors will have to check their beliefs at the door to
visit one of the largest military hospitals in the United States . Last
night, after we circulated the memo to leaders on the Hill, an outraged Rep.
Steve King (R-Iowa) took to the House floor and blasted the policy. "Mr.
Speaker, these military men and women who are recovering at Walter Reed and
Bethesda have given their all for America ... They've defended and taken an
oath to the Constitution, and here they are. The people that come to visit
them can't bring a religious artifact? They can't bring a Bible? ...A priest
can't walk in with the Eucharist and offer communion to a patient who might
be on their deathbed because it's prohibited in this memo from the Department
of the Navy?"
This is Obama's military, where homosexuality is celebrated and Christianity is censored; where witches are financed and crosses are scorned; where bestiality is embraced and Bibles are banned; where same-sex "weddings" are encouraged but international charity is not.
After three years of ideological warfare, the
administration's intent is clear: to disarm the military of its biggest
weapon. Faith. Regardless of President Obama's
agenda, there is absolutely nothing in the Constitution that empowers the
government to stop family members from giving Bibles or crosses to their
loved ones. And from a PR standpoint, I'm not sure the best way to boost
approval ratings is by denying comfort to wounded warriors. Unfortunately for
our troops, who have endured so much turmoil under the Obama administration,
this is another blow. Hopefully, with the help of Congressman King and
others, it's only a temporary one.
