- ThatsNotPudding, on 07/08/2009, -11/+202Well, given the fact that over the past eight years, the Air Force command structure was intentionally infected with fundamentalist bible-thumpers, I can see why the right would assume the USAF is merely a Pentecostal play-toy.
- mnpilot, on 07/08/2009, -12/+201Jesus would have loved the ability to put bombs on target from 25000 feet.
- whatthefu, on 07/08/2009, -5/+150Why do some Christians play the victim card so much? It's obnoxious and pathetic. This man is an embarrassment to the faith. You weren't denied anything--since when is it your constitutional right to have taxpayer money used for your amusement?
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -12/+147Sounds like the military is un-Constitutionally intertwined with evangelical Christianity both abroad *and* at home.
- Diefree, on 07/08/2009, -8/+134Ah the right still trying to force their religion on everyone else and expecting the government to help. This guy is a moron and a liar the constitution says that there is a separation of church and state, he'd know that if he actually read a non-fiction book once in awhile. Fox news is nothing but a propaganda channel for the right and this proves it.
- NikoKun, on 07/08/2009, -8/+131Did that guy just honestly say we don't have the right of "freedom from religion" if we so choose? LOL
So things are ok, as long as we believe in a magical being? But if we don't, we don't deserve the same protections? *****.
This ***** is just focusing on bashing Obama... "what changed in 42 years, we have a new commander in chief." So somehow that makes this Obama's fault? LOL
I've got news for you buddy, we've had a new President every 4 to 8 years in this country. We've had Presidents who agree with an asshat like you, and we've had a few that disagreed... But THAT is not the determining factor, behind whether the flyover happened or not. There was obviously some other reason, or new way of thinking about it. Or maybe they simply needed the planes this year, for something else...lol (instead of wasting thousands on the fuel)
Obviously the flyover isn't handled by Obama AT ALL. It's silly to suggest that. The decision came from MUCH farther down. - oldhick, on 07/08/2009, -7/+123I personally don't see any Constitutional issues with aif force flyovers of Christian events. But I have other issues with it.
First, giant waste of money.
Second, giant waste of money.
Third, giant waste... Ok, third, why would Christians want to militarize a Christian event? That I find truly baffling. What's next, slap an M16 in Jesus' hands and sing God Bless America while napalming Muslims and turning the other cheek to get a better view of the flames? Come on people... Seriously? - Hetman, on 07/08/2009, -9/+120Fiscally conservative my ass they pretty much allow the military to waste resources and money for absolutly no reason at all.
- whatthefu, on 07/08/2009, -3/+80As to Gretchen Carlson, what the hell difference does it make if the word "God" is on our money? As a news reporter, what kind of stupid comment is that? If you ask me, Theodore Roosevelt got it right. Why would you put God's name on money in the first place? It seems wrong.
- Zippo, on 07/08/2009, -1/+72Last I checked, Obama was a Christian.
- Hetman, on 07/08/2009, -1/+65I will give you a hint. Most modern day christians worship money not God.
- Dreeon, on 07/08/2009, -1/+64In the same vein, not flying over the rally != Anti-Christian
- dgoshilla, on 07/08/2009, -2/+64The Military and Religion should never mix. The Pentagon is doing the right thing here.
- Diefree, on 07/08/2009, -2/+62How else do you describe wanting to use the Air Force at a Christian event or giving bibles to troops to try and "convert" civilians? How about passing laws against people that don't fit into their religion like a woman's right to choose or a homosexual's right to marry? I'm waiting to hear how they aren't forcing their religion on us.
- JesusHimself, on 07/08/2009, -2/+56yo, what up?
- SystemicThought, on 07/08/2009, -0/+53Sounds like the government found a way to save some fuel after 42 years.
- DankBuddz, on 07/08/2009, -3/+55"Mahoney: Well, we're stunned, actually, and it's a reminder that our Constitution promises freedom of religion, not freedom from religion."
I would LOVE to hear this douchebag debate Thomas Jefferson on this issue. What a ***** dumbass. - EarlOfLade, on 07/08/2009, -4/+54Just like to remind everyone what the American version of Jesus looks like: http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/1354/jaysusln3. ...
- RadiatedAnt, on 07/08/2009, -4/+53Jesus flew an F-14 Tomcat
- DankBuddz, on 07/08/2009, -1/+50"What's next, slap an M16 in Jesus' hands and sing God Bless America while napalming Muslims and turning the other cheek to get a better view of the flames? Come on people... Seriously?"
Uh... yeah, I think that's exactly what they have in mind, lol. - Axxion, on 07/08/2009, -12/+59............................................________

The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: he says he's a Christian, proving beyond a doubt he's a secret Muslim. You would think only a Muslim would refuse the flyover and he knows that, so by refusing the flyover yet saying he's a Christian we therefore deduce he is, in fact, a secret Muslim! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...
- ColonelSlanders, on 07/08/2009, -23/+69i hate fox news
and i also hate conservatism - Dreeon, on 07/08/2009, -0/+45And Obama hates kittens too! And puppies, he absolutely hates puppies! And Koala bears, and didgeridoos, and yams, and breakfast cereals, and Butterfingers, and Blackberries, and freedoms, and Jews, and Christians, and asparagus.
***** asparagus. - rocknog, on 07/08/2009, -2/+45Dear ***** morons who bitch about Obama's lack of public display of his religion, kindly read Matthew 6:5-6.
- mnemy, on 07/08/2009, -1/+43Maybe your church should front the cost of jet fuel, mandatory maintenance before and after flight, the salaries of all pilots/mechanics/pencil pushers involved in making the flight possible, etc, before you so vehemently bitch about your "right" to have the military fly over your stupid festival.
Next time think before you open your hate filled mouth. You know those budget cuts Obama promised, as part of the attempt to fix the economy? Maybe, just maybe, someone got around to axing this needless waste of resources. - Maxwell1234, on 07/08/2009, -5/+46So this administration makes a fiscally conservative decision and now it's anti-christian? ***** YOU FOX!
- Maxwell1234, on 07/08/2009, -4/+43Buried for "libtards"
- waydee, on 07/08/2009, -8/+45Let them do the flyover, drop some bombs too.
- m3arvk, on 07/08/2009, -1/+37Sorry but you don't get to use the military to do fly-overs for your Christian rallies. Get over it. The fact that you feel so completely entitled to it only shows how incapable you are of anything resembling objective thought.
- costumemaker, on 07/08/2009, -3/+39Thats right, conservatives love everyone. They LOVE gays (ALOT!) they love muslims, they love immigrants, they love blacks, all they do is LOVE! They love women's rights, they love dissenting opinion too!
Go love yourself with an iron stick jetboy, you hypocrite. - pathouston22, on 07/08/2009, -2/+36i hate the media
and i also hate both parties. - Fatcheeseguy, on 07/08/2009, -4/+37Fox News the real walking Onion only people believe it..
- magnesiumcookie, on 07/08/2009, -0/+33There's a Christian Defense Coalition in America? Really? Is their logo a Wambulance with a Jesus fish magnet?
Also, why does this guy have to shout every word he says? Does he understand microphones? - fxu1989, on 07/08/2009, -2/+35I bet they feel they're being treated just like the victims of The Crusades..
Oh poor them!!!! - elitedw, on 07/08/2009, -4/+35I have a religion that I have to smoke ganja... sadly I can't practice it
- toxicityj, on 07/08/2009, -2/+33well they have to. They're ill-suited to defend themselves intelligently and who can else can defend them? God? pshaw
- Vesuvias, on 07/08/2009, -0/+31Man if more evangelical crazies would read this passage and not ignore it, I know one television channel that would disappear.....
- ZenMojo, on 07/08/2009, -0/+30"You're either with us or against us."
- 10lbhammer, on 07/08/2009, -2/+32come on guys, we know why this didn't happen: obama is a muslim! he's also a dirty commie nazi who covers up crosses and isn't a natural born citizen! oh, and he has to use a teleprompter to take a dump...
- Bluesky0010, on 07/08/2009, -2/+31One, this person is a hypocrite and liar. First, the person says this wasn't a religious ceremony, just something to honor troops. Then states it doesn't exclude any religion. Then states its a Christian event and the Obama administration is out to get christians.
Then the host tries to pull the ***** god is on the money.
Bottom line is, this country was founded on the principles of the fact that the government and religion should not share the same bed. If you're so interested in "supporting the troops", then rename your event to something secular and get your flyover. Tax payers money should not be wasted on your ***** religious propaganda.
And I wonder if this guy would be so keen on accepting the arguement he proposed if he changed all his words from "christian/christianity" to "muslim/islam". Probably not. If the Obama administration had anything to do with stopping this flyover, than good for them. - inactive, on 07/08/2009, -2/+31But don't hold your breath.
- novenator, on 07/08/2009, -1/+30Idaho and Utah: the land of neofundamentalism.
- kmiller7, on 07/08/2009, -0/+29So you don't have to look it up;
"Passage Matthew 6:5-6:
5And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." - Maxwell1234, on 07/08/2009, -1/+29No other reason?
Recession/useless spending, seperation of church and state - whiskeymb, on 07/08/2009, -2/+30dugg for "pentecostal play-toy"
- eyepennies, on 07/08/2009, -1/+28Let's see how many people don't get this reference!
p.s. - great reference, great sarcasm: great ***** comment. - Talphin, on 07/08/2009, -2/+29@markgl
I dugg you up, so I could bury you twice. - stuffradio, on 07/08/2009, -3/+29"Who are we quoting right now?"
