Denies Flyover 1stTime In 42Yrs Why..

[Excaliber]

This news is several months old. I was startled when I first became aware of the controversy but when I looked into a little deeper, I could understand the logical position of the Pentagon.

The organizers make no apology for and are proud of the Christian nature of this event. Christian singing groups, speakers, printed hand out's are all about celebrating a christian lifestyle. God bless them, I hope they do well.

But it is troubling that they ask the Federal Government to support their rally. This is a good example of separation of church and state. Would you expect the Pentagon to do a flyover for a Muslim Rally of similiar nature?

Good. I do not want my tax dollars used to promote any sort of religious event for any faith.

And they should get a bill for the last 42 years to reimburse the taxpayers.

Perhaps you could explain to us what separation church and state is?

Well, if the rally was in the Middle East, and a few things were gonna be dropped...yes, I can live with that.

I was wondering who was going to get that one...
