The manipulation of the data was confirmed by the government itself, which in an inspector general’s report marked “For Official Use Only” said numbers were combined to present the image that members of the military approved of Barack Obama’s plan for open homosexuality.
It was the military’s original and now-suspect report that famously was quoted as affirming “70 percent” of the nation’s military members believe the repeal of the long-standing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” practice of allowing homosexuals to serve as long as they kept their sexual lifestyle choices to themselves would have either “a neutral or positive impact on unit cohesion, readiness, effectiveness and morale.”

During World War II, the War Department and the Department of the Navy urged — the operative word is “urged,” not “ordered,” mind you — U.S. military chaplains to encourage soldiers, sailors, airmen, guardsmen and Marines that God was on our side in the global battle against fascists, Nazis and the godless heathens running rampant across Asia and the Pacific. The hymns “Onward, Christian Soldiers” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” were sung with fervor at chapel services regardless of denomination.

Defense Bill Will Not Include Provision Legalizing Sodomy, Bestiality in Military | CNSnews.comhttp://cnsnews.com/news/article/defense-bill-will-not-include-provision-legalizing-sodomy-bestiality-military
A House-Senate conference committee has dropped Senate-approved language that would have removed sodomy and bestiality – sex with animals — from military law in the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act.
A spokesman for the House Armed Services Committee told CNSNews.com Wednesday that the Obama administration had “made its pitch” on repealing Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice related to sodomy – but the members of the conference committee “were not persuaded” that the change was needed.

Virginia State Senator-elect Richard Black, who was a member of the Joint Committee on Military Justice during the Clinton administration, told CNSNews.com that bestiality doesn’t happen very often – but removing the mention of it in the statute could create big problems.
The fact is, the Senate bill does remove bestiality from the statute.
“It creates some serious legal ambiguity,” Black told CNSNews.com. “Article 134 is the general article which prohibits various miscellaneous categories of misconduct. But the general rule of statutory construction is that if you remove something from the law – you intended to do so. And so there was a purpose in doing it. And the idea that it would automatically resurrect under the general article is unclear.”

“There is a growing negative atmosphere toward evangelical Christianity,” said Lloyd Harsch, church history professor and institute director. “Under the guise of tolerance, everyone who holds a religiously informed position is now viewed as suspect because they’re [considered] intolerant.”
 Why Does God Allow War? - $10.40 Does God care about the sin and suffering in the world today? Why doesn't he bring an end to war and violence? When our lives seem shattered by personal tragedy, is there any answer? Is there any place to which we can turn to find hope and peace and true happiness whatever our circumstances? The ringing affirmation of this book is that there is indeed an answer-an answer that is rooted in the reality of God himself, and in what he has done and will do for those who know and love him. Dr. Lloyd-Jones wrote this book at the outbreak of the Second World War to a people on the brink of despair. It's message, however, is universal and remarkably relevant today as we seek to understand the crises of our own times. Yet readers will find that the truth it contains is a help for those in the midst of any tragedy, whether personal or national. "A classic book with timeless answers to the questions of war and suffering. Though first published at the beginning of World War II, Martyn Lloyd-Jones provides remarkably relevant answers — grounded in the unchanging truth of God's Word — to the urgent concerns that we all face today." |
