Federal government bans flag-folding
recitations following one complaint
It is time for Christians to say
enough is enough
October 26, 2007
In the latest
attack on Christianity, the U.S. government has banned the flag-folding
recitations at all 125 national cemeteries. The banning came as
the result of one complaint! The situation is similar to that in which one
person removed prayer from schools.
This article from The Associated Press
explains the situation:
Complaints about religious content
have led to a ban on flag-folding recitations by Veterans Administration
employees and volunteers at all national cemeteries.
At thousands of military burials, VA
volunteers have folded the American flag 13 times and recited the
significance of each fold to survivors. The 11th fold glorifies "the God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” The 12th glorifies "God the Father, the
Son and Holy Ghost."
Citing a need for uniformity, the
National Cemetery Administration has prohibited unpaid VA volunteers as
well as employees from conducting the recital at all 125 national
cemeteries.
American Legion attorney Rees Lloyd
calls it "another attempt by secularist fanatics to cleanse any
reference to God."
Following one complaint, the Veterans
Administration has made anti-Christian bigotry the law of the land. The
U.S. government has bowed to pressure from one radical anti-Christian
secularist. Allowed to stand, the action by the Veterans
Administration, in essence, means that anti-Christian bigotry is now the
accepted and approved law of the land.
