"Ah, so now our apparently spineless military brass is allowing Muslim nations to decide who gets to pray in America. I'm feeling safer. How about you? Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council and a former Marine, was disinvited from even speaking at a prayer luncheon at Andrews Air Force base because he opposes the president's plan to allow open homosexuals to serve in the military. Bottom line: you want to know who's now running the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy and the Marines and calling the shots where it counts? Fundamentalist Muslims and homosexual activists. In fact, I'll predict that there will be a day of prayer at the Pentagon on May 6, and it will feature a Muslim imam, a homosexual clergyman, and no conservative Christians of any kind. This is not your father's military. It's not even your father's country anymore."

I'm not sure how he defends making a claim that the military kow-tows to Muslim clerics and homosexual activists. Hasn't anyone learned that politicizing the military is just a flat-out bad idea?

so what... during the bush administration, the liberals were crying about how the right-wing evangelicals had taken over the military

same old shit, same old shit.

There's probably more evidence of evidence of evangelical influence over the military, and government in general, than there is Muslim or gay influence.
