Panetta Lifts Ban On Ladies Serving On The Battle Front

It was certainly an interesting day in Washington yesterday. Hillary testified before Congress on the Benghazi matter. She accepted responsibility for what happened and then proceeded to blame Congress. Of course Congress must be responsible for the administration failing to counterattack and Congress must be responsible for the absurd video blame that took place after the incident. Equally absurd and perhaps a cover for Hillary from her pal Leon Panetta, women are going to be combat troops in the Obama Army. A war on women? You bet! Under Obama weaker women will be lined up as Taliban cannon fodder.

Women don’t belong in the military much less in combat positions. Modern feminism has bred this nonsense of course. The goal has been to turn women into men and men into women thus creating “equality.” The sexes however are not equal. The strongest man is always stronger than the strongest woman. The average man in the military is stronger and more capable in battle than the strongest and most capable woman. Feminism and the left seek to deny the basic truth that God created men and women differently. Those differences go to intellect, strength, personality etc. Women were not created for battle.

Yet on the left this is a sign of great equality. Obama cares enough about women to send them into battle to die for the country. It’s bad enough that women have died in the War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan where they are nothing but an unnecessary nuisance. Now not only can they be a nuisance, they can be a front line nuisance. If you’re the enemy the first thing you’re going to do is figure out where the women are on the front lines. They’ll be the easiest line to break through in the very least. God forbid any of them get captured as POW’s, one can only imagine what sort of horrors these combat ladies would be subjected to.

This nonsense stems from the feminist belief that men and women are equal. It’s one reason why traditional feminists support abortion in such a strident way. They hate that pregnancy and children get in the way of their ability to be like men. Feminism is rooted in self hatred, at least in its original context. (the term feminism has multiple meanings and definitions these days) It is a self hatred of womanhood, of motherhood. As such those things are swept aside in favor of being more like men. Thus careers become more important than raising children. Sex absurdly becomes the center focus of life but consequences thereof are killed off. Now we’re going to have feminists fighting on the front lines in war. The madness only gets more mad.

Panetta may very well be covering for Hillary by announcing ladies in combat yesterday. However his announcement will have a greater effect on the military and society than Hillary’s testimony, which will be largely forgotten by next week. Panetta and the left are fundamentally transforming the military into a grand social experiment. It will result in the unnecessary deaths of countless women should our nation ever go to war again or should the current wars escalate. There are many unanswered questions regarding Panetta’s decision. If we have a large scale war that requires a draft, will women be drafted and if so will they be forced like men to fight on the front lines against their will? In the name of equality the answer can only be yes.

Houston V.A. Cemetery Seeks To Ban God From Military Funerals

A battle is brewing at a V.A. cemetery in Houston where director Arlene Ocasio is attempting to ban God and Jesus from being uttered at Memorial Day and funeral services. Suit was filed before Memorial Day after a pastor was told he was not allowed to pray using the name of Jesus at a Memorial Day service. He won that suit but the V.A. continues to demand that families submit prayers in writing prior to funerals for her approval.

It doesn’t end there. The National Memorial Ladies have been told they are not allowed to say “God bless’ orally or in writing to the families of deceased veterans. Vietnam veteran Nobleton Jones hands shells from 21 gun salutes to families and tells them “We wish that God grant you and your family grace, mercy and peace.” Miss Ocasio has told Mr. Jones that he isn’t allowed to say this to families.

The First amendment to the Constitution does not allow Congress to establish a nationwide religion. However, that doesn’t mean that religion is banned from Federal property. Congress has prayers each day, the Supreme Court has the 10 Commandments posted in their building and prayers are a regular part of Presidential inaugurations. The notion that the first amendment means no religion can ever be part of anything associated with government is ludicrous.

The first amendment doesn’t entitle people to be free from any religious speech. It only entitles people to be free from government creating a nationwide religion. Military funerals are private events and it is disgraceful that the V.A. would attempt to censor religious speech. Just because you’re an atheist doesn’t mean you get to censor everyone else so that you don’t have to hear religious speech. That’s not how the first amendment works nor is it how it should work. You cannot deny others their right to free speech in order to satisfy your selfish desire not to be confronted with the name of God of Jesus Christ.

The notion that pastors must submit prayers for government approval is surely a violation of the so-called separation of church and state the left so loves to talk about. But it’s worse than that. Having pastors submit prayers for approval not only denies pastors their right to religion but it is also a chilling effect on their free speech. After all doesn’t a pastor have the right to speak as he sees fit? Doesn’t a family have the right to hire the pastor of their choosing to conduct their loved ones funeral? Veterans families have enough to deal with when their loved one dies, to force them to submit prayers for approval from a V.A. bureaucrat is outrageous.

These men fought for freedom and the very government they fought for is now attempting to deny them freedom in death. Freedom does not mean being free from hearing things you don’t like. It doesn’t mean freedom from every hearing something religious. The freedom these men fought for includes freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Now the government seeks to deny their families and their pastors both in order to satisfy the selfish desire of a bureaucrat who doesn’t want to hear God mentioned. What an absolute disgrace.
