Keeping the Military out of Faith Based Organizations

[Sourdough]

Got this in an E-mail today.  All my fellow retirees are livid about this.  This guy is retired he can say what he pleases.



Sent by Retired Vice Admiral Bob Scarborough, of Arlington , Va.

"I wanted to give you all some disturbing information on our wonderful president. I work with the Catch-A-Dream Foundation which provides hunting and fishing trips to children with life-threatening illnesses. This past weekend we had our annual banquet / fundraiser event in Starkville . "As a part of our program, we had scheduled Sgt. 1st Class Greg Stube, a highly decorated U.S. Army Green Beret and inspirational speaker who was severely injured while deployed overseas and didn ' t have much of a chance for survival to come. Greg is stationed at Ft. Bragg , NC and received permission from his commanding officer to come speak at our function... Everything was on go until Obama made a policy that NO U.S. SERVICEMAN CAN SPEAK AT ANY FAITH-BASED PUBLIC EVENTS ANYMORE. Needless to say, Greg had to cancel his speaking event with us... Didn ' t know if anyone else was aware of this new policy Wonder what kind of news we all will receive next. You ' re just starting to see the Obamanation. Your religion is on the list next. I don ' t know about you, but this makes me furious.

This is just how the Nazis did it in the 30 ' s, slowly, one step at a time. If you don ' t see the similarities you are truly blind.

Bob

This floated around the internet a while back. Fortunately this is the truth of it;

I guess that the retirees ought to read Snopes. Please change the title to Keeping the military out of private fundraising.

we need be careful what gossip we believe..now i believe we are in real trouble in this country..
 but half truths an lies are not the way to try an straiten it out.. they just cause us to lose credibility..
 vote ,vote, .
  i recently was finally able to talk one of those who never voted,always said quote ,theyll pry my cold dead fingers
fingers,an that whole bit..but he never voted..finally i told him i didn t think he oughta complain or say nothing ,if he wasn t even willing to vote..
 recently they ask me if id take them up there an walk them through the procedure of voting..i thought he showed courage as i think there are many older voters ..who just don t want to admit they never have voted an just don t know how....
 one little battle at a time.. slim
