Dear USAFA:
The attached link to my blog post at www.godsownparty.com contains my outrage at the permission granted and sanctioned by each of you to the bible-based cult, “Cadets for Christ” and their leaders, Don and Anna Warwick. I have sent a call to action to my readers to voice their shock and awe to each of you as well.
As I write this I am bumping up against my publisher’s deadline for my upcoming book, “Palin’s America: God, Guns & Greed” and I will be delighted to include the actions of the USAFA in a section that speaks to efforts by zealots to transition our military into a modern day Crusade in a fictional Holy War. These incidences are not only deplorable, but far too frequent and you are putting us all at risk by not only allowing, but encouraging a bastardized rendition of Christianity to take root on your watch. You would not be allowing this with ANY other religion or non-religion. You would never approve of or condone ANY ideology forcing itself on the cadets and subjecting them to castigation if they did not climb on board.
I joined the Board of MRFF because like its founder and other supporters I believe strongly in the separation of church & state. We will continue to build on the perfect storm brewing in our favor as more and more Americans find out about our own home grown religious fanaticism that arrogantly plays Russian roulette with our futures.
Timing is everything, and I am grateful that my publishing deadline allows me to include the heartbreaking details of the Baas family nightmare at the hands those of you who represent the USAFA, in my discussion about the infestation of Christian Dominionism in our Armed Forces.
On this Christmas Eve, I would highly recommend not asking “What would Jesus do?” with respect to the brainwashing and indoctrinating being done in Christ’s name. My friend and colleague, Joan Slish, spelled it out for you all very clearly.
May God guide you and humble you.
