MRFF Demands Investigation of Air War College Ethics Professor who Signed on to Shockingly Explicit Christian Supremacist Manifesto

When conservative columnist David French calls a document published by “a coalition of right-wing writers and leaders,” as he describes them, “ominous” and “extraordinary,” and writes that it is “utterly contrary to the First Amendment,” it must be pretty damn ominous and extraordinary. And it most certainly is.
But that didn’t stop Daniel Strand, an Assistant Professor of Ethics at the Air Force’s Air War College, from signing on to this document, called “National Conservatism: A Statement of Principles,” an outrageous Christian supremacist manifesto whose section on God and Public Religion unambiguously calls for Christian rule and domination, stating, among other Christian nationalist goals:
“The Bible should be read as the first among the sources of a shared Western civilization in schools and universities, and as the rightful inheritance of believers and non-believers alike.”
and …
“Where a Christian majority exists, public life should be rooted in Christianity and its moral vision, which should be honored by the state and other institutions both public and private.”

whhhhhhhhhhhhhAaaaaaaa!!!
Yeah, we get it Ooops – you share Daniel Strand’s lack of respect for non-Christians and freedom of religion. We already know that. Apparently the “moral vision” of Christianity in Strand’s view anlso doesn’t include loving your neighbor as yourself.
id rather read the Christian Manifesto than the Tennessee Tranny manifesto. Just sayin…
We get it Oops, you despise the LGBTQA+ community.
You do know the ghey corollary, don’t you Oops? When a person expresses intense dislike/disgust for an idea or way of being, it’s more than likely than not they are that idea or way of being. I’ve witnessed this effect too many times to not believe in it. I’ve receipts if you need them Oops. Pages and pages of data backing up the corollary.
See those who don’t identify with whatever subject is being vilified understand this concept by adopting an attitude that as long as no harm is committed via Lawz O’ Consent We The People need to mind our own business when it comes to our neighbors. Truth is subjective: what is supper for the spider is calamity for the fly.
That said, it is telling to me that you don’t understand. Get help Oops. Accept your glorious self.
Just trying to help you be the best you.
Oops is ok with the Christian Manifesto of Strand and other extremists because, like them, he or she doesn’t realize that very soon, when the majority of lawmakers at all levels of government are non-Christians, the legal precedents the extremists are establishing now of government promoting religion are going to allow Muslims, atheists, and other non-Christians to do to Christians what Christians are doing to others now. And nobody is going to spill any tears for the Christians.
Not wanting to associate with the “anything sexually weird” “community” or read their propaganda is not a sign of hate. In fact Christ teaches us hate is a Mortal Sin. But if we follow Christ’s teachings and try to tell them that their activities are immoral and they should practice chastity we are then attacked. So much for THEM being inclusive and understanding. What about the “Man-Boy love “organization”? Is it part if the + in LBGTQA+? What does the “A” stand for? I suggest you might read the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaching on these things. Paragraph 2357-2359 (which tells us to be understanding of their trials but we are not allows to condone or encourage the sin) or even the entire section under “Offenses against chastity starting at 2351. There is no hate here. Its a teaching and a warning. Homosexuals are welcome in Catholic Church but they can only take part in the Sacraments if they do not commit adultery. But people want to do what they want to do and don’t like being told that their action was destructive to themselves and society. Not wanting to associate with them is not different that wanting to associate with a dope smoker or murderer or a child molester. But this is not the same a hating or attacking them. Anyone can choose who they associate with. Without hating.
Icorps,
Your words, “If we follow Christ’s teachings and try to tell them that their activities are immoral….” Who are you to TELL anyone anything? Why do you feel so compelled to “preach” to others about immorality, particularly given the Catholic Church’s protection of pedophilia and crimes against children for years?
I’m thinking the Catechism would be more useful if you could get your priests and Catholic leaders to read it!
If you’re not allowed to “condone the sin,” then why haven’t your pedophile priests been incarcerated? Your own Pope, Ratzinger, protected the bastards for years, moving them around, on to greener pastors (pun intended), so to speak.
If any action is “destructive to society,” as you say, then the Catholic Church has destructive immorality nailed, they win the Oscar!
The inquisitions, crusades, Galileo, Bruno burned at the stake for suggesting the Copernican heliocentric view. The tens of thousands of children abused by the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland, the list of abuses, particularly centered around children, is endless, homosexuality the least of worries in terms of the transgressions committed by the Catholic Church. The church banning condoms in Africa in the midst of an AIDS epidemic.
You mention “anything sexually wired,” but outside the Catholic Church transgressions against children, I’d say there’s not much left is there?
And all the while, your all-powerful God watched it happen! Apparently, he either likes it, or he isn’t all-knowing and all-powerful!
Offenses against chastity? What does it say about Catholic pedophilia and abuse of children, particularly the orphans?
Homosexuals in the Catholic Church? You’ve ALWAYS had homosexuals in the Catholic Church. I’m guessing, by your standards, priests could take the sacraments because, being celibate, they weren’t committing adultery when they sodomized little boys?
Fuck off with your sermons on morality, particularly Catholic morality!
You put words in my mouth when you say that I despise the LGBTQAHKJFGJNGG+—+(*4) community. I dont care what you do in your spare time. I have no problem with lesbian or gay people, I have a problem with psychopathic mental cases that think it is possible to be a man when you are a woman… and vice versa. I have a problem with our lawmakers forcing women to compete against men with wigs and fake tits. I have a problem with allowing men in the women’s bathrooms or dressing rooms.
Oops: you are hallucinating. Transgender people are not saying they are a man when they are a woman, or the other way around. Nobody is allowing men in women’s bathrooms. You can believe whatever nonsense you wish, but you shouldn’t have a right to force the rest of us to accept laws based on your ignorant beliefs.
Similarly Icorps 1970 seems to believe the freedom of religion and equal protection of the laws guaranteed to all of us by our constitution are somehow overridden by his or her personal religious beliefs that can be forced on all of us through laws. Both of you need to take a high school civics class, read a bit about sex and gender identity, and sexual orientation, from published scientific and clinical evidence, and come to grips with facts and reality. Nobody is harming you with their gender identity or sexual orientation, just as your own gender and orientation are not a threat to others. Unless, of course, you feel uncomfortable with your own gender identity or sexual orientation, in which case you should deal with those issues constructively rather than lashing out at others for no rational reason.
Your rights are only as good as the rights granted to us all. You are not a dictator and the US is not a dictatorship or a theocracy. You should be grateful for that.
So Oops has problems with situations and potentials which do not exist (they’ve yet to provide a shred of confirmable evidence) and Icorps 1970 is trapped by the nattering’s of a Chick track.
Icorps 1970 said “What about the “Man-Boy love “organization”? Is it part if the + in LBGTQA+? What does the “A” stand for?”
Two minutes on the same interwebz they travel on now could have answered each question. Well, not that the answers would conform to their personal bias but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
First question:
“What about the “Man-Boy love “organization”? Is it part if the + in LBGTQA+?
Apparently our very RCC commentator hasn’t a clue about the rules of consent. Small wonder as most of the humans busted for child sexual assault are members of the clergy. Not just the Catholic church but the Evangelical crowd is famous for this kind of abuse. There are websites devoted to the outing of such predators. And oddly enough, the majority of offenders are not part of the LGBTQA+ community. Weird innit?
Second question:
“What does the “A” stand for?”
Asexual. There are some humans who aren’t interested in the sexual act. In the past they’ve had to hide because of societal norms but today they are free to be themselves.
Now to the star of my comment – addressing Icorps 1970’s statement “But if we follow Christ’s teachings and try to tell them that their activities are immoral and they should practice chastity we are then attacked. So much for THEM being inclusive and understanding.”
First, Christ never said one thing against the LGBTQA+ community. Not. One. Thing. Second – how is that whole chastity thing working for the priest class? How many priests have been outed as sexual predators?
Here is a master class on being intolerant to those who practice intolerance:
The Paradox of Tolerance by Philosopher Karl Popper from their book The Open Society and Its Enemies, Karl R. Popper.
“Should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance? The answer is NO! It’s a paradox, but unlimited tolerance can lead to the extinction of tolerance. When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant the tolerant ones end up being destroyed and tolerance with them. Any movement that preaches intolerance and persecution must be outside of the law. As paradoxical as it may seem, defending tolerance requires to not tolerate the intolerant.”
Jeff, humans like Oops always thing transitioning means male to female, ignoring that there are many more who are female to male.
I can’t wait for one of these red states to implement their draconian bathroom bills only to see bearded men in the ladies room (their gender at birth)
Well, not really ‘can’t wait’ as the emotional damage being done is not funny.
What fucking planet are yall on? Lia Thomas was allowed to use the womens locker room and despite the outrage from the team, HE was still allowed in there to expose his dick to all. Also did we forget about Loudoun county?
Oops, unless you have proof….
oh wait, thus far you are a fact free zone.
Facts do not require your belief to be a fact. I tell you this Oops are you appear to not understand the concept what a fact is or is not. Perhaps you’ve been tutoring with Kellyanne Conway? I suggest you study with someone who isn’t a fan of “alternative facts” or as my grandmother called them, lies.
PS – Oops, for someone who doesn’t engage in whataboutism you sure do engage in it.
Get help Oops.
I’ll help you out, Oops. I live on a planet where you don’t get to dictate other people’s gender. And where most people (other than you and a few others) are not obsessed with looking at other people’s genitalia when they’re in a public bathroom or a locker room. Women’s bathrooms have stalls. Peeping in other people’s stalls is a crime – so you’d best mind your own business when you use a bathroom.
I encourage you to seek treatment for your interest in the genitalia of strangers in public bathrooms/locker rooms. There is hope, as long as you are seeking help. Best wishes, and good luck.
Grey one: no doubt you’re right. The bearded men following the laws in those states will I’m sure be harassed and vilified for following the laws. After all, the cruelty is the point, isn’t it?
Jeff, yes, cruelty is the point.
Re: the article
Daniel Strand claims he is not a Christian nationalist, claims not to know the definition of the term, and then turns the argument back on those who call him a Christian nationalist all while using Christian nationalist talking points and Powerpoint presentations.
It’s the don’t believe your lying eyes and ears, listen only to what “I” tell you. I’m your voice of authority.
And he teaches ethics at our War College. No wonder the military is lousy with Christian nationalists. There are ways to cleanse them out of the system but then I’d be just as bad as the Christian nationalists I’m trying to eradicate.
Hopefully they will take themselves out. Purity tests amongst true believers are reportedly brutal.
“I encourage you to seek treatment for your interest in the genitalia of strangers in public bathrooms/locker rooms”.
The fact that you somehow extrapolated this from what I said previously demonstrates your cognitive deficiencies. Oh, the semi-functional mind of a lib, is really such an interesting thing.
The non-functional mind of someone who believes the nonsense you say you believe is frightening. You have demonstrated a clear obsession with whom has which body parts in bathrooms and locker rooms, so I didn’t have to do much extrapolating to know what you’re obsessing about. But you will keep on believing in nonsense and demonizing good folks who are trying to get on with living their lives just like any other human being, without harming you or anyone else – because it’s easier than learning the facts and not being a hypocrite. And some people need witches to hunt, apparently.
Icorps 1970 wrote “if we follow Christ’s teachings and try to tell them that their activities are immoral and they should practice chastity we are then attacked.”
How would Icorps 1970 feel about an Air War College Ethics Professor who was orthodox Jewish or dvout Muslim telling students it’s immoral and sinful to eat pork or shellfish?
Like your comment Jeff, “some people need witches to hunt!”
Great comment. I’m going to steal that one!
Awwww, good Christian Ultra-MAGAT, Lauren Boebert’s son Tyler charged with 22 counts against him, on a good Christian-value crime spree, having been raised by a set of good Christian parents, Lauren and Jason, taught well by his Christian Mom Lauren. Knocked up a girl that Lauren says was at least 14 – I’m guessing that’s the age of consent in Christianity, or was it 12 like the mother of God? I forget, just too hard to keep up with. Pretty young none the less.
But Lauren exhibiting those great Christian, pulling Quinn’s Gallagher, values in the Buell theater in Denver, you know, a great role model for her AR-15 totin kids!
Now divorced, her little boy Tyler estranged from his baby-mama, I’m wondering what Christian adventures she’s going to get up to when she gets booted from Congress in the next election? I dunno, a Christian adult bookstore? Maybe she could team up with another Christian, Bridgette Ziegler from Florida. Meet halfway and open a place in Arkansas, “Shooters Adult Theater And Nightlife (Satan)!” Just an idea.
You kind of get used to that Congressional grift where you get paid for debating public pissing in DC.
Some good Christian values for you there!
Keep the faith Lauren! Maybe Mike Turner will hire you occasionally.
Oh, by the way, tell your three younger sons they ought to wait till their girlfriends are at least 16 before knocking them up!
Kids raising kids! Now that’s what I’m talking about! Prolly getting help from the State!
How are the Boeberts relevant to this Air War College Ethics Professor? Your totally-off-topic rants are getting more irritating every day.
They arent relevant, IronDickhead always grasping at straws… like a dickhead. Im sure its a real treat for his wife.
Tom,
What part about National Conservativism are you not getting?
No connection between National Conservatism and Christian Nationalism – is there? And no Christian Nationalism in Congress is there?
You think Daniel Strand is a fucking Muslim? You obviously haven’t read the supremicist manifesto he signed on to, take you all of three minutes but some folks are just fucking lazy – so, who’s uninformed here?
As much as I shouldn’t be dignifying any of it with a response, from the manifesto, “No nation can long endure without humility and gratitude before God and fear of his judgment that are found in authentic religious tradition….” This is in reference to a Christian God btw. We ain’t talking about Zeus here!
My counter argument would be “No nation can long endure without progressive values unencumbered by the inherent weight of religious oppression; the regressive nature manifest in divine providence an anchor weight on human values, knowledge, and understanding.
Fuck sake bro. Get some fat on your head!
Your compartmentalized thinking is irritating. Can’t see beyond the end of your nose!
In other words, dangerous!
Nah
There is a degree of connection in that Lauren Boebert admitted in public she is a Christian nationalist and wants her version of religion to rule the country. Granted she said this at one of the MAGA cults many conferences, but still, heck of a thing to say out loud.
The Christian nationalists used to keep all this quiet. It’s beyond scary that they feel free to say the quiet part out loud.
No need to be quiet about it. You value shitty progressive ideas… we value Christian nationalism. You want one thing, we want another.
Yeah Oops, I want you to share and you want to kill me.
Huh, how will we ever figure this out?
At last Oops comes out and admits he is a religious bigot who wants to ignore the first amendment rights of most citizens and force Christianity – his or her version of Christianity- on everyone. No wonder Oops is so threatened by MRFF’s successes. Our military service members fight and die for our religious freedom, but Oops spits on it.
Kill you? Oy … my …. gosh. 🙄What an exaggeration. Do you need a safe space?
Our troll says I exaggerate but offers nothing to support their claim.
I have quotes from pastors and politicians (but I repeat myself), legislation passed by MAGA banning healthcare for women, but please troll, explain to me why I’m exaggerating.
I’d love to read your reasoning on this one troll. By the way, just because you “believe it” is a valid reply, just not the one you think it is.
OK – that was as clear as mud. What I wanted to say but my fingers and brain weren’t talking at that specific moment is this:
Just because our troll believes “I’m exaggerating” is a valid reply doesn’t mean what they think it means.
The unintended message is our troll believes in the power of gaslighting, something I’ve had to deal with more than once in my life. I’ve been ‘hysterical’, exaggerating, or crazy, and yet all along I was the one label never used: correct.
Congratulations all! Yesterday demonstrated just how demolished the Brandon campaign will be come November. Get your res hats ready!! Trump 24 baby!!!
Yeah, it’s really intelligent to post an irrelevant comment boasting that you want a president who is a compulsive liar, a molester, a criminal, a traitor, a bigot, and a professional grifter. And he is also an idiot and has ridiculous hair.
MAGATS can’t help themselves, not much grey matter in the pre-frontal cortex, limited cognitive abilities and fight-or-flight easily triggered by an enlarged amygdala. All the result of conditioning, more than eight years of it now with Trump’s constant Adderall induced fear mongering because that’s all he’s ever had.
Trump has failed at everything he’s ever touched, his businesses, his wives, his kids, and this country. The worst U.S. President in history!
He doesn’t have the where-with-all to lead and govern and neither do they, on the Gilead road to idiocracy.
Trump and his Congressional minions think building a wall on the southern border stops meth and fentanyl! Yeah Donny. Keep raving cat shit! Lock his ass up!
MAGATs – Out The Door In 24!
Get Out The Vote!
hahaha, but hes still gonna be your next president. pound sand big giy.
Never seen a grown man cry so much from a State of the Union! lol. Struck a nerve! Too funny watching dementia Donald implode!
I know three year olds that are more mature than the Orange Fat Man. The advantage for the three year olds – they’re potty trained!
Too fucking funny. Wonder if they’re going to let him have his Adderall in prison?
Oops says, “oh…..my……gosh.”
Interesting she didn’t use God instead of gosh, that Arkansas reverence coming out in full-on display of fear of her almighty magic man in the clouds listening to her words specifically, or that of the mouth piece speaking for her!
All they have is fear, to include, in their own lives. Shame really.
MAGATs – Out The Door In 24!
Haha, love that you misgendered me on purpose. Made my day that you ditched your progressive “values” in a heartbeat just to insult me. love it.
Ooops, that can’t have been the first time you’ve been misgendered.
Please explain how Ironmoped ditched their ‘progressive “values”‘ by calling you female based on your use of gosh instead of God.
Based on the data I thought you were affecting a simpering manner but that’s me. I don’t have Ironmopeds experiences. I do have decades as an LGBTQA rights supporter so I recognize when someone is ‘trying’ to be mocking.
Back to the topic of the post, has this professor faced any consequences for their actions? I’m betting not because historically Christian nationalists cover for each other.
who gives a fuck
Ooops, obviously you ‘give a fuck’ as you took time from your day to post how much you don’t care to a website you claim to despise because of its’ ‘wokeness’.
If hadn’t really cared you wouldn’t have shown up, let alone made a comment.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say you never participated in the debate club in school, did you Ooops? If I’m incorrect and you did participate in debate then you’d best hit the books for a review of logic because at this point you couldn’t reason your way out of a wet paper bag.
How yall feeling about the Brandon vs Trump rematch? Lookin pretty bad for brando the clown at the moment. 37%? wow!!! Some record brando. Going to be an absolute landslide victory by the bad orange man. Good luck

More on topic, when the mixing of government and religion backfires on Christians as it will when Christians are no longer in the majority in the US, and you inevitably complain that you aren’t being treated fairly due to the policies and practices you are promoting now, you can be sure our reaction will be just like yours is now: “Who gives a f%#k?”
Ooops has nothing of substance to say in reply to our challenges on their propaganda so they switch the topic. Sadly Ooops, your “what’s that!!!” is a sad and crumpled piece of paper that doesn’t mean what you think it means.
