Can you say BS on this
Federal government bans flag-folding recitations following one complaint
It is time for Christians to say enough is enough
In the latest attack on Christianity, the U.S. government has banned the flag-folding recitations at all 125 national cemeteries. The banning came as the result of one complaint! The situation is similar to that in which one person removed prayer from schools.
This article from The Associated Press explains the situation:
Complaints about religious content have led to a ban on flag-folding recitations by Veterans Administration employees and volunteers at all national cemeteries.
At thousands of military burials, VA volunteers have folded the American flag 13 times and recited the significance of each fold to survivors. The 11th fold glorifies "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." The 12th glorifies "God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost."
Citing a need for uniformity, the National Cemetery Administration has prohibited unpaid VA volunteers as well as employees from conducting the recital at all 125 national cemeteries.
American Legion attorney Rees Lloyd calls it "another attempt by secularist fanatics to cleanse any reference to God."
Following one complaint, the Veterans Administration has made anti-Christian bigotry the law of the land. The U.S. government has bowed to pressure from one radical anti-Christian secularist. Allowed to stand, the action by the Veterans Administration, in essence, means that anti-Christian bigotry is now the accepted and approved law of the land.

BORDER SECURITY FUNDING STRIPPED IN CONFERENCE COMMITTEE!!!!
CALL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS NOW!
Yesterday, the conference committee on the Department of Defense Appropriations bill (H.R. 3222) stripped two critical provisions aimed at securing the border. The first provision stripped was an amendment offered by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and agreed to by unanimous consent that would have kept 6,000 National Guard troops on the border through September 30, 2008 (S.A. 3192). Members of the conference committee replaced this provision with language funding only 3,000 troops through July of 2008-consistent with the Bush Administration's plan to draw down the National Guard troops from the border. The second provision stripped would have authorized an additional $3 billion to be spent for increasing border patrol agents, building the fence border and funding the 287(g) program. This funding language was originally offered to the DOD Appropriations bill by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and co-sponsored by 13 other Senators. The amendment (S.A. 3117) was adopted on a vote of 95 to 1.
These provisions were essentially the only serious and meaningful immigration reforms Congress passed this year. Yanking them out of the DOD Appropriations Bill is further proof that Congress is not serious about true immigration reform.
Please call your Congressman and Senators TODAY and demand that they restore this funding! Tell them that you want the Operation Jump Start provision and the $3 Billion Border Security provision put back into H.R. 3222, the Department of Defense Appropriations Bill!
Remind them that you opposed the Bush-Kennedy Amnesty bill because you wanted true immigration reform-not a reward for illegal activity. Tell your Members of Congress you are watching this issue and keeping track of how they vote!0
