to note: Gen James Clapper-(AF ROTC)--Gen Keith Alexander-(USMA - West Point-same class as Gen. David Petraeus and Gen Martin Dempsey)--My research findings as to where they were educated--
A person I trust told me once-"Don't think that West Point or AFA are perfect."
I am losing respect for the Military Academies--
Summation of Judge Nepolitano's article--:
Think about that: The very people in whose hands we have reposed the
Constitution for preservation, protection, defense and enforcement have
subverted it.
Snowden spoke the truth. Knowing what would likely befall him for his
truthful revelations and making them nevertheless was an act of heroism
and patriotism. Thomas Paine once reminded the Framers that the highest
duty of a patriot is to protect his countrymen from their government.
We need patriots to do that now more than ever. http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2013/06/27/napolitano-the-truth-shall-keep-us-free/?subscriber=1
Of Course- I read the entire article- thus - my research on the "GOOD" Generals -SARC--
BTW-to remind- I wrote about rhinos infiltrating the playing table of the elephants--in 1993-and then told my friend that a certain R LA mayor was a Republican In Name Only a RINO--she took it and ran with it--had RINO buttons made for a major Republican convention in the mid '90s ..the rest in history--
Wish I had copy written the 1993 story and the acronym--RINO back then----I'd be wealthy now- HUH! http://carolmsblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/from-rino-to-rino.html
The story is copy written now --
Federal
Judge: Teacher Who Punished Student for Expressing Catholic Belief
Against Homosexuality Violated Student’s First Amendment Rights
ANN
ARBOR, MI – The Thomas More Law Center today announces a victory in
their lawsuit against teacher Johnson McDowell of Howell High School in
Howell, Michigan. Federal District Judge Patrick J. Duggan of the
Eastern District of Michigan issued his opinion yesterday.
The
Court declared the teacher’s actions in punishing Daniel Glowacki for
expressing his beliefs against homosexuality violated “Daniel’s First
Amendment rights.” In its findings of fact—the Court described how the
teacher initiated a discussion about homosexuality. The teacher wore a
purple t-shirt and was promoting the homosexual agenda. In response,
the Plaintiff, 16 year-old Daniel Glowacki stated that homosexuality was
against his Catholic beliefs. The teacher, admittedly, became angry
and threw Daniel out of class because he disagreed with Daniel’s
beliefs.
The teacher in the lawsuit tried to blame Daniel and claimed he caused a
disturbance in the teacher’s classroom. The teacher’s claims were
wholly unsupported by all of the other evidence in the case, including
affidavits of students in the classroom and the teacher’s own earlier
statements. The teacher also tried to argue that Daniel’s religious
statement was tantamount to “bullying.” The Court dismissed that claim
as well, holding that Daniel’s speech could not be silenced because the
teacher did not like Daniel’s religious beliefs and viewpoint.
The Court’s opinion echoed the longstanding legal precedent that
“students do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech
or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” Tinker v. Des Moines Indep. Cmty. Sch. Dist., 393 U.S. 503, 506 (1969).
The teacher argued that Daniel’s speech that his religion did not
approve of homosexuality was a bullying statement. However, Judge
Duggan, citing several cases, disagreed (citations and quotations
omitted).
While
the Court certainly recognizes that schools are empowered to regulate
speech to prevent students from invading the rights of other students,
people do not have a legal right to prevent criticism of their beliefs
or for that matter their way of life. Relatedly, a listeners’ reaction
to speech is not a content-neutral basis for regulation. While a
student or perhaps several students may have been upset or offended by
Daniel’s remarks, Tinker straight-forwardly tells us that, in order for
school officials to justify prohibition of a particular expression of
opinion, they must be able to show that this action was caused by
something more than a mere desire to avoid the discomfort and
unpleasantness that always accompany an unpopular viewpoint. Simply put,
the law does not establish a generalized hurt feelings defense to a
high school’s violation of the First Amendment rights of its students.
Thomas More Law Center attorney, Erin Mersino was the lead counsel in
the lawsuit. It is expected that the teacher will appeal the
decision.
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commenting on the favorable court decision, stated:
“The purpose of our lawsuit was to protect students’ constitutional
rights to free speech, defend religious liberty, and stop public schools
from becoming indoctrination centers for the homosexual agenda.”
The Thomas More Law Center originally filed its federal lawsuit back on
December 14, 2012 against the teacher, Johnson McDowell, and the Howell
Public School District. The claims against the School District were
dismissed, and the Court held that the teacher alone was the responsible
party.
The ACLU appeared in the case as amicus and supported Daniel’s position against the teacher.

I got an head's up when I was told that Bibles were not to be sent in my boxes to the troops in 2002! so it is not just bho!!
This is a partial list of bho's sabatoge of our Military-
Just before a combat operation, military personnel flock to the
Chaplains for their blessing, or meditate quietly in their own solitude;
when they become Prisoners of War, they lean on their faith and the
Code of Conduct to give them strength. Obama’s Social Experiment on
Diversity, outlined in new regulations, has been forced upon members of
the US Armed Forces, military chaplains, and the civil service employees
that support the US military programs. They have attempted to diminish
the fundamental Judeo/Christian concepts that have been the foundation
upon which the US Armed Forces was built to strengthen it for 238
years.

15. May 2013 — The Pentagon meets with Mikey Weinstein and the
Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) who is trying to establish
new rules which would restrict the religious freedom of Christian and

On November 5, 2009 at Fort Hood, a devout Muslim, Maj Nidal Malik
Hasan, USA (A. K. A. “Abu Wali”), who had been communicating with Al
Qaeda terrorist cleric, Anwar Al-Awlaki, in a series of 20 E-mails,
shouted at the top of his lungs, “Allah Akbar”, and used two hand guns
to kill 12 US military personnel, while wounding 31 US military and law
enforcement personnel. It was a radical Islamic terrorist attack
against American Christian military personnel executed on a US military
base; Al Qaeda spokesman, Adam Gadahn, praised “Abu Wali” as a Mujahid
Brother. The Obama administration through its spokesman, the Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, insisted it was
not terrorism at all, but work place violence.
