Obama at war with Christians in military
The Gazette Opinion Staff

Commander-in-chief Barack Obama has launched a military war against Christians.
Evangelical Christianity tops a U.S. Army Reserve list of groups representing “religious extremism” in the United States - alongside al-Qaida, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and the Ku Klux Klan. Also listed for “religious extremism” is Catholicism and Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Pentagon has ordered:
l “God” to be erased from an Air Force logo.
l Military chaplains to perform same-sex marriages.
l Bibles removed from some military housing.
l Ban Southern Baptist convention website broadcasts on military bases.
The U.S. Constitution, First Amendment rights, allow Christian service members to freely practice and speak about their faith. It appears that these citizens are day-by-day having their freedoms taken away.
