Army Email Labels Christian Ministries as 'Domestic Hate Groups'
2013-04-10
Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, pause for a moment. This message was allegedly sent by a LTC who would be retirement eligible. From the posting, most likely a battalion commander sent to his staff and company officers about three dozen subordinates. Now, if you seriously disagreed with the PC crap sliding down the command chain, one response in such a circumstance is something akin to a 'scorched earth' tactic or in other words 'take the mofos with you'. I'm sure we'll be entertained by the various official responses soon to follow.

#4  The left are a white male hate group.

#3   Christians shouldn't be too concerned, we simply need to stop serving this state at this point in history. Let the atheists, pagans and Muslims do this stuff from here on out.

There's enough evidence already to support preachers teaching a new idea along these lines nationally.

#2  And the email written by the lieutenant colonel referenced the [Southern Poverty Law Center.]

Methinks the scorched-earth idea sounds about right. Had he been one of the Misguided Children, I'd have called it an example of 'malicious obedience'.

#1  Â“The notion that the Army is taking an anti-religion or anti-Christian stance is contrary to any of our policies, doctrines and regulations,” said George Wright, Army spokesman at the Pentagon. “Any belief that the Army is out to label religious groups in a negative manner is without warrant.”

In Afghanistan the US military, per policy, burned bibles as trash in order to suppress the dissemination of their content.

Whether this is a legitimate policy and/or a smart political move is debatable.
In any case a perception of an 'anti-Christian stance' and of a 'negative labeling of Christianity' is objectively reasonable and NOT without warrant.
