HUFFPOST – CHRIS RODDA: Rep. Fleming: NDAA Religious Freedom Language Not a “Touchdown” — New Talking Points Needed

Selected Article Excerpt:

Back in July, the FRC released its first edition of “A Clear and Present Danger: The Threat to Religious Liberty in the Military,” a report chock full of alleged incidents of Christians in the military being persecuted for their religious beliefs. We at MRFF, being familiar with almost all of the incidents listed in the FRC’s report, many because of MRFF’s direct involvement in them, know that the FRC’s claims of Christian persecution in the military are simply not true. In fact, we are currently working on our own report here at MRFF (working title: “A Clear and Present Load of Crap”) that will thoroughly debunk the FRC’s report claim by claim.

In addition to the Inspector General investigation called for by the NDAA, Rep. Fleming told Tony Perkins during his appearance on “Washington Watch” that he “plan[s] to have hearings beginning in January/February time frame where we’re going to be highlighting all these abuses of religious liberty.”

There is nothing MRFF would like better than to see Rep. Fleming’s and the FRC’s claims of Christian persecution investigated. So, bring on the hearings and investigations!

MRFF will, of course, be supplying the Inspector General, the Secretary of Defense, and the members of Congress who really do support religious freedom with our “Clear and Present Load of Crap” report (which I promise to think of a better title for) to aid them in any investigations.
