This Administration is unbelievable! I can't
understand why the Navy went along with this.
Bibles at Walter Reed
Obama must really want to be a one term president. 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.
Even liberal Snopes says it's
true.:
