While reading a recent article by FoxNews member Todd Starns concerning Rick Perry's video advertising support for our Judeo-Christian religious heritage, I came across the opposing opinion - and following actions - of the Obama administration.
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/12/08/rick-perry-president-obam...
It was President Obama who declared in an e-mail to CBN News that “whatever we once were, we’re no longer just a Christian nation.”
SECTION OMITTED
It was during the Obama administration that Christian school children were ordered to stop praying outside the Supreme Court building because they were violating the law. Instead, those American boys and girls were forced to pray for the elected officials while standing in a gutter.
SECTION OMITTED
It was the Obama administration that opposed the commemoration of a prayer by Franklin Roosevelt at the site of the World War II Memorial on the Washington Mall, arguing that it would “dilute” the memorial’s central message.
END OF QUOTE
That last example was a prayer President Roosevelt wrote for the D-Day invasion which uses the phrase "Almighty God" and has no specific reference to Jesus Christ.

And then the article mentions this Obama Administration invasive effrontery to both personal property and private expressions of faith in the military. I'm not sure even Ayn Rand would agree with this government attempted diktat over private property:
QUOTE:
In recent days, we’ve learned that the Navy adopted and later rescinded a policy that would have banned parents from giving their wounded soldier-children Bibles at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
END QUOTE
That's right. Obama's minions tried to ban the Bible - as a private property possession - from a major military hospital. Something tells me this won't be the lead story on ABC, CBS, NBC or CNN evening news broadcasts - or on the cover of Time Magazine next week.
Here's a bit of history for you. In World War II, the US Government issued a pocket sized New Testaments, with Psalms from the Old Testament, to its soldiers and sailors. It had imprinted instructions to not write in too much personal information inside, lest the Bible fall into enemy hands. This can be seen in a copy being auctioned on the internet at http://www.etsy.com/listing/72405856/antique-1941-army-bible-president
This Bible also contained this letter from President Roosevelt, a man Obama claims he admires:
THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON
January 25th, 1941
To the Armed Forces:
As Commander-In-Chief I take pleasure in commending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the armed forces of the United States. Throughout the centuries men of many faiths and diverse origins have found in the Sacred Book words of wisdom, counsel and inspiration. It is a fountain of strength and now, as always, an aid in attaining the highest aspirations of the human soul.
Very sincerely yours,
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Today, the US military does not issue Bibles, but Post Exchange stores and chaplains of various faiths offer service men and women any Holy book the want. http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/608224.html
We are now seeing the true anti-Christian (and arguably anti-Jewish) attitudes of the Obama administration in all its mean spirited anger and rage. Trying to ban parents from bringing Bibles - at their own expense - to their wounded sons' and daughters' bedside is something one would expect to happen in Iran or or North Korea, not Washington, D.C.'s Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Think about this when you see Obama (prematurely) lighting Hannukah candles http://news.investors.com/Article/594264/201112082024/obama-hanukka... or the National Christmas Tree at the White House (assuming he won't be in Hawaii next year). And if you have liberal relatives who won't give you a break from politics at a Christmas or Hannukah gathering, you might want to mention this to them as you ask them if they would object to your reading or carrying a Holy Book you brought along on this occasion.
A Merry Christmas a Happy Hannukah to all my readers. See my earlier "classic" 2004 article on historic
government interference with religious observance at http://www.americanthinker.com/2004/12/christmas_hanukkah_and_polit...

Comment by John Bellaire on December 14, 2011 at 11:30am I think the anarchists and anti-Christianity people have come to the point of being disgusting in their crusade to end any visage of Christianity in government. It could be called a backfire and only serve to encourage Christian religion in America which I believe the country could use more of.
Comment by Jack Kemp on December 10, 2011 at 12:40pm fortunate son, I have found the article by Janice Crouse and have decided to send it to a fairly well known blogger I know, a woman who has openly written that she was molested as a child. If it inspires her, she can write a much more knowing article than I can.
Comment by Jack Kemp on December 10, 2011 at 12:01pm fortunate son, all you need is the links to the original articles on normalizing pedophilia and few more comments, and you will have a complete article of your own to post at TPN. I could do the same with a little research - and I might. I'd have to give you "a hat tip" credit as my source.
Comment by Louis R Smith on December 10, 2011 at 11:18am How about separation of Private Sector Economy and State.
Karl Marx designed the Progressive Income Tax to sabotage Capitalism. It's only used by Capitalist countries that have been usurped by Communist but are still in denial due to brainwashing via other Karl Marx inventions called the free public school system and state controlled media. Only in America is it still used. We think there is no other way. Imagine Liberals if they have no right to know our income(individual/business) and lost the power to target taxes! Sounds too good but it exists(FairTax act) and it's a bill HR.25 S.25. Congressman Rob Woodall was discussing it in the House a couple weeks ago. Then I remembered that I had 2 books about it and I couldn't put either one down until I read them both.
Learn about the FairTax act. It makes so much sense that you will be angry that we haven't implemented it already. Or you will be rudely awakened as you realize "There's only one reason why we don't already use this!" Usurped! Yes every country but America, has stopped using a Progressive Income Tax.
Comment by John Wiant on December 10, 2011 at 10:09am It won't take many more examples to link Obama (and friends) to the people intentionally and successfully taking OVER this Nation. . . . to get the extreme "right wingers" to become so fired up, they'll put down their Bibles, put down their guns, put down their signs, put down their keyboards and stationary, put down their phones, and go outside on 11/6/12 and MARCH to the polls, with one intense feeling in mind: SAVE this Country.
Comment by Joyce Foster-Konya on December 10, 2011 at 12:58am I need to correct something in my comment regarding Trump commentating a GOP debate soon. I got the date wrong. He will be on ION Website on December 27th at 8PM EST. It will not be on TV Channels. Sorry about the mistake. It's an important debate and we need to encourage Romney to participate.
Comment by Tom Flaherty on December 9, 2011 at 11:09pm Comment by Pat Chadwell on December 9, 2011 at 8:55pm In Nevada SEIU union fixed the electronic in the vote booths to read Reid and not Angle.. They were caught over 6 times and the Demo election board said that the voter rubbed they coats on the screen and changed the vote. Also in Northern NV they had a major power outage that lasted over 3 hours when the major amount of people voted. Thats how Dirty harry got reelected again not by the people. So we can expect the ilegal and unions to do the same thing again in favor of Obama.....
Comment by Jack Kemp on December 9, 2011 at 8:36pm Pat, don't give up so soon. The Dems probably wanted to find more "boxes of uncounted votes" in 2010, yet they took an awful beating at the polls. Today no one is guaranteed a victory in 2012 - not even Obama.
Comment by Pat Chadwell on December 9, 2011 at 8:28pm The Demo`s are going to do the same thing they did with getting Dirty Harry Reid back in office and the Unions will fix the votes in favor of Obama unless they change the rules on voting...
