Remember last year when American Progressives said the US should follow Europe’s enlightened lead? Good times, good times.

What War on Christianity?

Continuing to move away from “Dont Ask, Don’t Tell,” CNS News is reporting that the Obama Administration released a policy statement objecting to a House Authorization Bill that would prohibit same sex marriage on military property and shield chaplains from repercussions for refusing to perform those ceremonies.

Section 536 of H.R. 4310 states in part that no member of the armed forces may “direct, order, or require a chaplain to perform any duty, rite, ritual, ceremony, service, or function that is contrary to the conscience, moral principles, or religious beliefs of the chaplain, or contrary to the moral principles and religious beliefs of the endorsing faith group of the chaplain.”

Further, no member of the armed forces may “discriminate or take any adverse personnel action against a chaplain, including denial of promotion, schooling, training, or assignment, on the basis of the refusal by the chaplain to comply with a direction, order, or requirement” that is prohibited by the previous clause.

Unsurprisingly, the moral principles and religious beliefs of Christians aren’t important to the Obama Administration.

Nolte: Why Conservatives Must Join the Battle for America On Twitter

John Nolte has a great piece up over at Breitbart:

A narrative had grown on New Media, damaged their candidate, and by the time the corrupt media got around to attempting to destroy the credibility of the story and, quite reprehensibly, the men who told it, it was too late.

The media cried “Never again!” and, as a result, birthed an unholy set of twins to back that cry up: Media Matters and a number of corrupt truth squads and fact checkers, like Politifact.

And:

it’s 2012, and Twitter has not only changed everything, it’s allowing everyday American conservatives the opportunity to beat Media Matters and these corrupt fact checkers at their own game.

And more:

Try as they might, whether it’s about Obama eating a dog, the hypocrisy of the War on Women, or the real facts behind the economic “recovery”; the media cannot ignore a conversation being had by millions upon millions of citizens. Most importantly, they can’t filter or control that conversation. If the media won’t tell the truth or point out the hypocrisies, we will — and the media not only can’t stand that, they’re also forced to grudgingly cover it or look completely out of step with what the “real news” is.

Who’d Have Thought?

Palin, Kingmaker. Suck it, liberal haters.

The Schadenfreude from the progressive’s karmic meltdown is giving me whiplash. It’s an exquisite pain.
