It's a sad day in America when our privacy in church is so egregiously assaulted, and so many otherwise thoughtful Americans cheer it on. But what's even more astounding is to witness how quickly people are willing to by the entire story hook-line-and sinker, when all we've seen is a few snippets from a known manipulator of news.

This General has probably risked his life for the freedoms we enjoy more often then we can imagine. He's probably worked long hours, under many arduous conditions for decades for little reward, except the knowledge that he was doing his duty to America. Now, nearing his final years in the service, how does our society treat this man? Well, we have left wing newspaper reporters for major newspapers manipulate his church speeches with phony quotes, then provide small snipits of the rest of his speech in order to denigrate his career and call on him to be fired. Others judge him instantly in the most negative way, even going so far as to call into question his patriotism.

Yes, those evil military leaders who dare to believe in fundamentalist christian thoughts. Those are the people we need to go after and judge with a careful eye toward a slipped word or phrase. Yes, those are the people in our society who are causing all the problems.

What's next? Shall confessionals be secretly taped and snippets of them broadcast to the world as major news events?
