We Shouldn’t Really Be Surprised When A Bureaucrat....

On Dec. 1, the story broke that Bethesda, Maryland-based
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where wounded veterans convalesce, apparently had banned visitors from bringing in Bibles or other religious items.

Walter Reed Chief of Staff C.W. Callahan issued a memo in September which said:
"No religious items (i.e. Bibles, reading material, and/or artifacts) are allowed 
to be given away or used during a visit."

Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, savaged the Obama Administration on the floor
of the House, saying, "The President of the United States should address this and
should excoriate the people who brought about this policy and the individual who
brought it about should be dismissed from the United States Military."

Yes, telling wounded soldiers and their families that their First Amendment
freedoms have been suspended should be a firing offense.

Rep. King, who serves on the House Subcommittee on the Constitution,
conveyed the gravity:

"The idea that these soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines that have fought 
to defend our Constitution, and that includes our First Amendment rights 
to religious liberty –would be denied that religious liberty when they are 
lying in a hospital bed recovering from wounds incurred while defending that 
liberty is the most bitter and offensive type of an irony that I can think of."

The policy was rescinded, but that it happened at all is a reminder of the culture
that  Mr. Obama has fostered in the armed forces and executive agencies, where
extreme environmentalism, moral relativism, and sexual immorality have replaced traditional American values.

We shouldn’t really be surprised when a bureaucrat tries to bar Bibles in a
U.S. military stateside hospital while other bureaucrats make sure that
terrorists in Guantanamo Bay get copies of the Koran.

Announcing an end to the rule, Walter Reed public affairs officer Sandy Dean
said that a new policy "will be written to articulate our initial intention which
was to respect religious and cultural practices of our patients."   Say what?

Dean went on to insist that the policy was "in no way meant to prohibit
family members from providing religious items to their loved ones at all."

Here’s more from the hapless Dean:
"We appreciate Congressman King bringing this to our attention.
We don’t want our instructions to be ambiguous."

Ambiguity is not the problem.
It’s the Obama Administration’s hostility to religion, except for Islam.

From the prevarications that helped sell Obamacare, to the lies surrounding
Fast and Furious, to the periodic emissions of horse pucky about Obama’s
“evolving” view of marriage while he’s sabotaging the Defense of Marriage Act,
it’s getting so bad that Obama Administration spokespeople really should
consider donning Groucho noses, glasses and mustaches.
That would help disguise them, at least, and pave their way to enter the
Witness Protection Program.

Should it be necessary to explain why wounded soldiers who risked their lives
be allowed to receive Bibles from their families?

Obama Will Soon Declare The Constitution--Unconstitutional!

John Lillpop

Saturday, February 26, 2011

Granted that conservatives are not always the sharpest knives in the drawer.

We right-wingers sometimes have difficulty grasping the deep, elusive logic

of intellectual elitists on the left like Barack Obama when it comes to great

and serious questions concerning the U.S. Constitution.

For example, we find it difficult to understand how it is that man who invented

ObamaCare, which has been ruled unconstitutional by two separate courts,

feels qualified to unilaterally decide that the Defense of Marriage Act,

law of the land for 15 years, is suddenly unconstitutional, thereby freeing himself

from the responsibility to defend said law in fulfillment of his Oath of Office.

What next, Mr. President?

According to unreliable sources, it appears that President Obama will make a

major announcement that will CHANGE everything in America.

The gist of that announcement:

The U.S. Constitution is unconstitutional because women and racial, sexual

preference, and religious minorities were all under represented in 1776.

Indeed, without any openly gay men or transgender people involved in the crafting

of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, all such

documents must be declared null and void.

Other excluded minorities include women, terrorists, and illegal aliens.

Without factoring in the wishes and needs of terrorists and illegal aliens how in the

world can our democracy function?

The answer, of course, is that it cannot, which is why

Obama will soon declare the Constitution itself unconstitutional!

Of course, if Obama really gave a tinker’s dam about the Constitution,

He would scrap his outrageous law suit against the state of Arizona for

protecting its citizens from invaders.

He would move to scrap ObamaCare, which was rammed down the throats

of unwilling Americans with legislative sleight of hands and bribery when the

votes were not there to follow the rules.

He would understand that forcing citizens to purchase health care insurance,

or face the ravages of the IRS, is barbaric and unconstitutional.

He would understand that the Constitution is very specific when it comes to the

eligibility of any person to serve as president.

Thus, he would make every effort to be completely honest and transparent with

the American people concerning questions about his own eligibility.

He would understand that the Constitution sets forth provisions for separation of

powers, meant to assure that the Executive Branch is accountable to the people

through the oversight function performed by Congress.

He would understand that installation of stealth Czars in order to circumvent

Congressional oversight is a repudiation of the Constitution.

He would understand that voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party

is not acceptable simply because the intimidated are not people of color.

He would understand that actions taken to grant rights reserved for citizens to

terrorists are anti-American acts of treason.

He would understand that the Constitution requires the president to secure our

borders and enforce our immigration laws so as to protect the American people.

He would understand that it is the president’s Constitutional obligation to serve

as America’s Commander-in-Chief, which requires him to use war powers prudently

to defend the American people, rather than using those powers as political footballs.

Above all else, if he were genuine, President Obama would understand that the will

of the people should be the first priority for any political entity wishing to govern, and

that that applies to taxes, illegal invasions, health care, terrorists, and all major issues

of the day.

The fact is that Barack Obama views the Constitution as an impediment

to his Marxist agenda.

He MUST be stopped.
