But in reality, one of the biggest threats that America has ever faced is now sitting in the White House …

Proverbs 15:7, “The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the hearts of fools.”

Matthew 7:16a, “You will know them by their fruits …”

By Todd Starnes, Fox News – “Soldiers attending a pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood say they were told that evangelical Christians and members of the Tea Party were a threat to the nation and that any soldier donating to those groups would be subjected to punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

A soldier who attended the Oct. 17th briefing told me the counter-intelligence agent in charge of the meeting spent nearly a half hour discussing how evangelical Christians and groups like the American Family Association were ‘tearing the country apart.’

Michael Berry, an attorney with the Liberty Institute, is advising the soldier and has launched an investigation into the incident.

‘The American public should be outraged that the U.S. Army is teaching our troops that evangelical Christians and Tea Party members are enemies of America, and that they can be punished for supporting or participating in those groups,’ said Berry, a former Marine Corps JAG officer.

‘These statements about evangelicals being domestic enemies are a serious charge.’

Flashback: US Military Groups Evangelical Christianity, Catholicism, Islamophobia As Forms Of ‘Religious Extremism’ Alongside Islamic Terrorism – “The U.S. Army listed Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as examples of religious extremism along with Al Qaeda and Hamas during a briefing with an Army Reserve unit based in Pennsylvania, Fox News has learned. ‘We find this offensive to have Evangelical Christians and the Catholic Church to be listed among known terrorist groups,’ said Ron Crews, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. ‘It is dishonorable for any U.S. military entity to allow this type of wrongheaded characterization.’ …” Read more.

Flashback: Obama Praises American Muslims For Their ‘Good Works’ And For Helping ‘Build’ America, ‘We’ve Seen The Results’ – “President Obama either believes what he says in his own little world, or he’s a chronic liar living within it. The fact that 80% of mosques in America teach violent jihad and Islamic supremacy obviously doesn’t seem to bother this Commander-in-Chief, nor the fact that the overwhelming majority of terrorist acts in the United States are being perpetrated by Muslims. He also seems to disregard the stone-cold reality that hundreds of thousands of Muslim Americans would like to see the death penalty imposed upon anyone daring to hurt their feelings by speaking the truth about ‘insulting’ the ‘prophet’ of Islam…” Read more.
