As usual I will not get into mission or movement specifics but I must tell you about an incident that occurred just prior.

First, no matter what the liberals say, the United States is a Judea-Christian nation.  Still today, over 80% of our populace has a Judea-Christian belief system. 

Spirituality is important for the success of any nation.  Countries without freedom of religious expression are without basic freedoms.  It’s an easy observation to make and one that needs no supporting argument.

While the Marine Corps continues to offer opportunities for religion and spiritual expression no one in my 15 years has pressed their beliefs on Marines.  As well, let me say too that every time a prayer was offered, Marines are in unison and have never expressed anything negative about it.

I say all this because of what I witnessed in my first convoy brief.  Before every convoy everyone, no matter your rank or job, must sit in on the brief.  During this brief everyone is aware of what to do should we get attacked, rules of engagement, if a vehicle breakdowns, etc…

To my surprise the brief was concluded with a prayer by one of the Navy chaplains.  They do it before every convoy and the Marines and passengers all willingly participate.

I am POSITIVE if liberals, especially those in elected office, knew this was going on all the time they would wish to stop this practice.  You have seen them stop the practice at sporting events, school events, and with groups like the boy scouts and girl scouts.

We need everyone to speak out against those who wish to stifle religious freedom at all levels.  Use an election or bylaws, overthrow those on the schoolboards who don’t allow parents and community to dictate their religious beliefs.   Use the court system to stop groups or individuals seeking to take away your religious rights.  At least 80% of everyone you meet will wish to help you so make sure you ask them to get engaged too.

Don’t let liberals mislead others by stating that conservatives are about pushing their religious values upon everyone.  Liberals must mislead with this notion as the truth will defeat them come election time. 

Conservatives are about protecting ones rights and allowing freedom of expression.  No constriction or restriction.

In tonight’s briefing we were all Marines.  Marines of different socioeconomic and religious backgrounds.  Marines who all know the possible outcome of every convoy.  Marines who all bowed their head to the Chaplin.

Semper Fi,
