......we keep targeting the wrong "enemies".

A slideshow presentation shown to US Army Reserve recruits classifies Christians, including both evangelicals and Roman Catholics, as religious extremists, placing them in the same category as skinheads, the Ku Klux Klan, Hamas and Al Qaeda.

The presentation also warned that members of the military are prohibited from taking leadership roles in any organization the Pentagon considers ‘extremist,’ and from distributing the organization’s literature, whether on or off a military installation.

OBama has succeeded in polarizing this nation worse than Bill Clinton did.

Guess you never heard of Westboro Baptist or Terry Jones ... saber rattling usually prompts somebody to do something more than just demonstrate.

Westboro Baptist is not Catholic. They are an aberration to Christian groups. However, their acts are not violent.

Westboro is perhaps evangelical ... the statement said "evangelical and Roman Catholics" ... and yes, Westboro and other groups are not violent ... yet.

Rev, surely you have listened to Christians talk and know what they believe in. Do you believe that Christians are looking to start a war with the government?

The Westboro Baptists people are idiots, but they are not about to get violent. Violence is basically what they are protesting.

No, I don't think Christians are looking to be terrorists in some sort of mass movement ... but, I'm only saying that there are always a few extremists who might "flip" in the name of some sort of Christian crusade.

There are hundreds of times more extremist on the left than there are in Christianity. Occupy Wall Street for one.
