Atlas Shrugs:  There is a sickness of the soul, a moral illness that has infected our political elites, military brass and media quislings.  America expends incalculable blood and treasure in Afghanistan to what end?  To install the sharia?  To facilitate the killing of apostates out of Islam or the oppression and subjugation of women?  That cross should be lit up like a Christmas tree - this - is - just - so - terrible.

Commentary:  The military clergy have been instructed not to pray in "Jesus's name," now the cross is being taken down at Christmas.  Freedom of religion has been removed among military personnel in America.  It might have an impact on the US military branches if those who are considering enlisting, walk into recruiting centers, or send them letters, stating their thoughts about enlisting, but that they have decided against it, because there is no freedom of religion allowed.  If Christians all over the nation removed their children from public schools and home schooled them, because the public school system has kicked God out and brought in evolution (which has been disproven by the mathematical improbability), sexual promiscuity and promotion of gay lifestyles, they might have to try to find some other religious people to oppress.  Christians are called to make a stand for Christ.  "If we suffer, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us" 2 Timothy 2:12.
