Are you really saying, in effect, that if the protest had come from the public, or from military or elected officials, that you wouldn't have a problem with it? It's a trick question, be careful.
I'm willing to bet that before this story broke you had never even heard of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, because if you had, you would not call them a liberal organization. They, and their founder, are far from liberal. All they do is fight religious coercion and discrimination in the military. They were founded because of excessive and sometimes brutal discrimination, harassment and aggressive proselytizing by Evangelical or Fundamentalist Christians within the military, sometimes by superior officers.
The organization was founded by Michael Weinstein, a 1977 United States Air Force Academy graduate who then went on to be an Air Force JAG for 10 years. He then spent 3 years in the West Wing of the Reagan White House as legal council, and was the Committee Management Officer of the Iran-Contra Investigation in his capacity as Assistant General Council of the White House Office of Administration, Executive Office of the President. He later served as General Counsel to Ross Perot and Perot Systems Corporation.
The Foundation's stance on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," for example, is one where they are dead set against repealing it, because the policy is both Biblically sound and Constitutionally correct. If the policy is repealed then the government is meddling in religion, in effect establishing a new one by actually redefining Biblical terminology, and is therefore unconstitutional. Those liberal baѕtards!
No one, until now, has ever accused Michael Weinstein of being a liberal. And the only people who could conceivably call the Military Religious Freedom Foundation liberal are the most extreme of fundamentalist evangelicals, A.K.A., Pilgrims.
Many people think the Pilgrims and others came to these shores because the Church of England were too strict, to conservative and were looking for religious freedom. Newp. They were looking for religious freedom alright, but came here because they felt the Church of England was far too
lenient.
