Soldier Told Not to Read Levin, Limbaugh or Hannity in Uniform

Todd Starnes  "Master Sgt. Nathan Sommers, a 25-year Army veteran and conservative Christian based at Fort Myer in Washington, believes his outspoken opposition to gay marriage prompted higher-ups to take a closer look at his beliefs. ..
" “It seems like with the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell – that the Christians have been the ones who’ve had to go underground and in the closet – for fear of retaliation and reprisals,” Sommers told Fox News. “Christians feel like they can’t be forthright with their faith. They have to hide.”
"Ret. Navy Commander John Bennett Wells is representing the master sergeant...
" “There’s no question about it,“ Wells told Fox News. “Because he is religious, because he feels that homosexual conduct is wrong for religious reasons, he is basically being persecuted.”
....
An official spokesperson in Washington issued the following statement on this matter:
“Accordingly, the Soldier was not prohibited from displaying a political bumper sticker.  Instead, the Soldier’s supervisor discussed the appropriateness of the bumper stickers with him and potential perceptions of others in light of the regulatory guidance.”
“The Soldier is not, and never has been, “facing retribution and punishment from the military for having anti-Obama bumper stickers on his car, reading books written by conservative authors like Mark Levin and David Limbaugh, and serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at his promotion party,” the spokesperson added. 

I do think, however that it is best that military personnel not exhibit political stickers as a matter of their own integrity. I certainly do not want to see leftist, anti-military stickers on a servicemember's car.

Let's call it Laughing WITH the IRS, not AT them

 

Message from the ruins of Qusair

Charles Krauthammer  "This is a huge victory not just for Tehran but also for Moscow, which sustains Assad in power and prizes its warm-water port at Tartus,...."
....
"The losers? NATO-member Turkey, the major supporter of the rebels; Jordan, America’s closest Arab ally, now drowning in half a million Syrian refugees; and America’s Gulf allies, principal weapons suppliers to the rebels.

"And the United States, whose bystander president, having declared that Assad must go, that he has lost all legitimacy and that his fall is just a matter of time, is looking not just feckless but clueless."

American citizens have more to fear from this administration than our enemies.

The Obama our enemies see:

The Obama that half of America sees.

Whoever is leaking top secret NSA documents to the press doesn’t appear to be afraid of the White House. Leakers as heroes.

Buzzfeed   Obama Has Lost The War On Leaks
"Despite his administration’s going to unprecedented lengths to crack down on national security leaks — from seizing the phone records of media organizations to discover their sources, to charging alleged WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning with aiding the enemy — this week has seen two of the most significant leaks in more than a decade.
"On Wednesday The Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald revealed that the NSA was collecting phone records for millions of Verizon customers, after someone provided the paper with a top secret court order. Then on Thursday, a “career intelligence officer” leaked another top secret document to the Washington Post proving the existence of an expansive NSA program called PRISM that spies on Americans through nine major internet companies."

Latest leak: Obama Wants A List Of Countries To Cyberattack
"Another day, another leak -- and once again, it's not much of a surprise, but rather a confirmation of what's long been suspected. This time, it's that President Obama has ordered the US to draw up a list of "targets" for proactive cyberattacks, as revealed (yet again) by Glenn Greenwald at the Guardian."

A huge source of security leaks is Obama himself  "President Obama yesterday insisted the White House wasn’t behind national security leaks that wound up in flattering news stories.
"Stung by criticism that his aides were dishing secrets to The New York Times and other media to bolster his re-election campaign, Obama said he’d investigate." And how did that all work out, Mr. President?
