the last post cross links this DU thread:
Seems like a normal function to me, we have been having the exact same type of functions for years in the South West. Sometimes it is at a church, or where ever space is available.
As far as invading Iran, Syria, or anywhere else. Time will tell, but the world is not going to let "the bomb" be available to Islamic terrorisst or countries that help them.
Sorry, but I don't understand your concern.

You say, "Holy ####, it is fascist picture story time." Yep, I believe you are an islamo-fascist telling a story with pictures. You sure got that right. That is all you got right.
Amen Papa Ray. This is nothing but an Islamo-fascist ranting against Christianity and our great Christian Nation, which incidentally, is the light of Liberty for the rest of the world. Amazing that they speak against it, don't you think?
We are the last bastion of true Liberty, yet they tear it down in the name of democracy. Democracy is our demise. We are a Constitutional Republic, a Christian Constitutional Republic, like it or not. A republic is rule by law while a democracy is nothing more than mob rule which always leads to tyranny, which we are ovserving right now. Personally, I hope that Christian churches worldwide pick up the "standard" and take down the enemy. Let the games begin, heh heh heh.

Mario - we are a Constitutional Republic. We are not a Christian Constitutional Republic. You may come after me - and the author of the original post, and anyone else - with slurs of Islamo-fascism, and even with a gun. But you'll still be wrong. And you'll still be a reactionary crypto-fascist thug.

You don't hang ANYTHING over the crucifix. It is the focus, not an inconvenient bit of wall ornament.
The U. S. form of govornment is not particularly relevant to this - there are no laws apparently being broken, this does not appear to be an official govornment function.
This is a matter of aesthetics, more than anything. And it is very, very ugly.

I find this use of the church rather disgusting. IMO it is desecrating the God they claim to worship.
I am not even religuous and it bothers me. God is supposed to be bigger than any one single nation, how dare they utilize Him!

Seems to me that calling this a Men's Night Out, gearing it towards fathers and sons, and getting everyone worked up into a religiously violent fervor all so the sons will be compelled to join the military, either by their own emotional reaction or pressure from their fathers, is not only deceptive (what the f*ck else is new though?), but also should be an insult to everyone with any ounce of respect for churches and what transpires inside.
p.s. to the ignorant jarheads calling people fascists: fascism is a CONSERVATIVE movement, not liberal. The Islamic terrorists have much more in common with your worldview than they do with liberals. Both of you hate democracy because it could lead to a society where your extreme set of morals are not codified into law. You're all fascists cut from the same cloth.

Simmer down. It was a "Men's Night Out" with a theme of Military Appreciation. Nobody who went into this thing was unaware of this fact. Even the author was aware. So anytime someone has a function to honor the military, it's a sinister recruiting tool? Give me a break.

Thanks for an enlightening article. While it's encouraging to see a good Christian man who is as appalled as I am at the invasion of our churches, it's very depressing to see people calling you an "Islamo-fascist" for daring to speak out against our government.
It's never easy being right. Keep the faith and God bless you.
