'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell' for Christians

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=31971
If the Left had its way, President Obama would promptly rescind the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for gays in the military and apply it to govern the conduct of another demographic -- Christians.  

Or at least that is the impression you’re left with following some recent events. This week, GQ magazine published a hit piece on former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.  Among other supposedly evil acts, Rumsfeld was called out for sending top secret briefings on Iraq and national security to President Bush that included Bible verses.  

The Left has seized upon this revelation as yet more proof that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al. were on a religious crusade in the Middle East.  It’s curious how the Left interprets Bible quotes written on a few Pentagon memos as evidence that the Bush administration’s war in Iraq was a faith-based initiative but simultaneously is at a loss to explain what would motivate radical Muslims to attack America, even as our enemies invariably claim to be acting in the name of Allah.
