Staff Sergeant First Class John C. Beale is Honored

When watching the news coverage of the war in Iraq, it is easy to get discouraged and think that all Americans have turned against our Soldiers.

However, what the normal media doesn't report are stories like this one...stories where real Americans come together to give their last respects and thanks to our fallen warriors.

It is stories like this that give me hope that our country is worth saving. Americans are strong. We just seem to forget that sometimes.

Please watch all of this video and give thanks to this fallen soldier and all our men and women who are serving or who have served their country.

Killed in action the week before, the body of Staff Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City, Ga on June 11, 2009. The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough , Georgia . A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time. This was filmed during the procession.

Obama and Faith

During his campaign, Obama made it very clear that he didn’t want any faith-based organization to receive any government funding to help those in need.

 

He is now proving what he said.  He is pulling funding from 5 faith-based organizations that help the homeless, the needy, and teens.

 

His sole purpose in removing funding is based on the faith factor.  No other consideration is needed as far as he is concerned.

I can understand removing government funding if a group is doing something illegal or if they are not succeeding in their purpose of helping others. 

 

However, if a group is actually helping others and is following the law, why should the government not help them do more good just because they are faith-based?

 

This is reversed prejudice and I consider it a hate crime.  To ostracize one group because of their beliefs is going against our constitution. 

 

Christians are accused of this with our beliefs against abortion and homosexuality.  However, most Christians don’t go out of their way to hurt people who have abortions or live alternative lifestyles.  Yet, we are all labeled as those who do hate crimes even if we only teach against those choices.

 

I believe Obama and his flunkies are going to far and our country will pay the price in the long run.

 

Get ready, America, for a bumpy ride…
