There’s a Fox News<\/a> story percolating out there about one Joe at Fort Hood who claims that some “counter-intelligence agent” told a group of troops at a pre-deployment briefing that if they contribute to or contact Tea Party or evangelical Christians, they’ll be considered a terrorist threat. <\/p>\n

Michael Berry, an attorney with the Liberty Institute, is advising the soldier and has launched an investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe American public should be outraged that the U.S. Army is teaching our troops that evangelical Christians and Tea Party members are enemies of America, and that they can be punished for supporting or participating in those groups,\u201d said Berry, a former Marine Corps JAG officer. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese statements about evangelicals being domestic enemies are a serious charge.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, no, sorry, I don’t believe it ever happened, based solely on the fact that I know Joe. I think he’s trying to get out of something. The whole incident stems from one soldier’s report, no others have come forward and claimed the same thing. I’ll concede that there probably are people out there who think along those lines, but I’m pretty sure they’re not stupid enough to make it part of a briefing for the troops. <\/p>\n

Like I said, it sounds like Joe wanted to be famous or get out of something and made this shit up. I’m pretty sure if it had happened, someone would tell us about it, and I haven’t heard a peep. But lots of people are just so willing to believe things about this administration and the current military leadership that fit their perception, they’ll believe anything.<\/p>\n

Hey, I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure this will fade away quietly. There’s too much real stuff to be outraged about to be outraged based on the report of one rogue Joe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
