Center for Military Readiness at CPAC: America needs a Christian Military
At the CPAC panel on “How Political Correctness is Harming America’s Military,” Elaine Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness continued her campaign against gay and lesbian members of the armed forces serving openly and honorably, but she was upstaged by GOP congressional candidate Ilario Pantano, who insisted that America is meant to be a Christian nation and that the military must reflect biblical values…
One of Donelly’s main arguments did not seem exactly respectful of our armed forces: she said repeatedly that servicemembers can’t be counted on – or trained – to control their sexual urges. That’s why, she said, we are losing so many ship captains due to sexual misconduct. Sexual mistreatment of women in the military is not their fault, she said, but it’s not surprising…
He [Ilario Pantano] insisted that America is and was meant to be a Christian nation and that our problems come from denying the truth of Jesus: “The ultimate founding document of the United States is the Bible.” The nation’s problems were unsurprising given that we have kicked God out of classrooms, courts, and foxholes…
The divide between the east and the west, he said, boils down to Christian and non-Christian. America was “undeniably” founded as a Christian nation and to suggest otherwise “is simply untrue.” He argued that members of the military have to be grounded in biblical truths, and blamed the thousands of suicides among veterans on the “God-shaped hole in our hearts.”
Pantano, who said he and his children are learning Chinese, asked, “What are the Chinese afraid of?”
“It’s not capitalism, it’s not Google, it’s not Wal-mart, it’s not Boeing, it’s not Islam. They’re afraid of Jesus Christ.”
Center for Military Readniess? Seriously? Is this a joke? We are these people when we were in Iraq begging, pleading for better weapons and more troops on the ground? Where were they when the military healthcare system failed so many of us after repeated deployments?
Oh yeah, that’s right. They are to busy preparing for the day they gain power and can begin a Stalin-like purge of the military.
At least they aren’t holding it back anymore. It’s better they be upfront about this so we know who really is trying to subvert the military.
And once they are done purging the military of teh Gayz, brown people, Muslims, and other assorted non-white Christian males who will they have left to fight the holy war against the rest of the world they are eager to start?
Petty, base warmongers is all they are. And it’s a sort of sweet justice that these people will never see their kingdom on earth ever come to reality.
