Christian Taliban

You would think that a Christian Taliban has taken over our military academies! Oh, the horror!

I love this quote:

``pt. MeLinda Morton, an academy chaplain who says she was fired for her criticism of what she said is religious proselytizing at the academy, said: "This this is a prime example of what we've been talking about here in terms of leadership failure. If he doesn't understand the constitutional boundaries here, to use his position to espouse religious ideology, then who does?"

This woman is supposed to be a chaplain? What does she think a chaplain is supposed to do? (Teach Secular Humanism, I suppose.) This woman is too stupid to realize there is nothing in the Constitution restricting individuals; the Constitution places restrictions on government. The cadet in question was exercising his right to freedom of speech, which is a Constitutionally guaranteed right. Melinda Morton clearly doesn`t understand the Constitutional boundaries!

If this cadet is not allowed to quote biblical passages in an e-mail to his class, will we be banning him from quoting Martin Luther King and George Bernard Shaw?
