This president and the Democrat party supports Sodom and Gomorrah and demonizes Christians who are pro-family and pro-life. The IRS scandal that targets conservative groups is just the tip of the iceberg. Read on to see how they are trying to take away the religious freedom of our soldiers.
With a presidency that touts equality and anti-discrimination banners, the president of Family Research Council is amazed at what he sees as an extreme bias that celebrates secular, pro-homosexual groups while demonizing Christian, pro-family groups.
Carthage, MO In the federal government's latest crackdown on faith-based organizations having anything to do with the United States military, many children were disappointed when the soldiers they were looking forward to honoring were told they couldn't step foot inside their church.
After planning to be saluted by boys and girls at Bible Baptist Church in Carthage, Missouri, members of the Missouri National Guard were soon forced to cancel their visit in accordance with federal policy, which reportedly forbids members of the military from associating with churches in order to avoid the appearance of sponsoring such faith-based organizations.
...Proud to be an American, ashamed to follow military protocol
Regretfully having to obey authority, several members of the National Guard expressed to Fox News that they were "ashamed and embarrassed" over the whole situation.
Missouri National Guard"It makes me wonder what I'm actually fighting for … I honestly never thought I'd see the day that this would happen in my hometown," one of the National Guard members shared with Fox News.
However, it came as no surprise to Perkins.
"Sadly, that day is here, but we must not lose heart," Perkins insists. "The Armed Forces of the United States have defended our nation for well over two and a quarter centuries. Now it's our turn to stand up for their right to exercise the very freedoms that they fight to defend. Please call the National Guard Bureau at 703-607-2584 or send an email respectfully voicing your objection to this discriminatory act."

Christianity is unifying, not divisive
"In the times of greatest peril to life and limb, it is a great comfort to know that many of those with whom your life is entrusted share a commitment to each other, to the United States, and to God," Perkins contends. "Simply put, devotion to moral principles derived from a Higher Power allows for a greater level of trust to exist among members of the military."
Perkins argues that instead of declaring war on terrorism or anti-family agendas, the White House has done everything within its power to push policies that attack religious freedom and tear down the nation's Christian moral fabric.
"Therefore, it is with great unease that we at the Family Research Council have noted a growing hostility to religion within the armed services in the last decade," Perkins continues. "Unfortunately, pressures to impose a secular, anti-religious culture on our nation's military services have intensified tremendously during the Obama administration."

Obama's not-so-clean laundry list
Perkins went on to present an extensive list of scores of very discrete anti-Christian events attacking religious freedom in the U.S. military over the past decade, with the rate of incidents spiking sharply at the onset of President Obama's first term in office. Here are several notable incidents recorded over the past year:
"On October 17, 2013, soldiers attended a counter-intelligence pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood, Texas, during which they were told that evangelical Christians and members of the tea party threatened the country," FRC reports. "Additionally, they were informed that soldiers who donated to such organizations could be subject to discipline under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. According to sources, the counter-intelligence officer leading the briefing spent approximately 30 minutes discussing the ways evangelical Christians, generally, and groups like the American Family Association, specifically, were 'tearing the country apart.'"
