The Last Resistance – by Frank Camp
As society progresses, we lose small pieces of what made us human. We replace these little pieces with dangerous facsimiles of what originally filled us. Above all else, we lose our sense of moral integrity. What comes with a loss of moral integrity is an animus toward others who still hold values which many have left behind. We reach a certain point—which I fear we are quickly approaching—when that animus evolves into hostility, and that hostility into tyranny. Once we have reached tyranny, we cannot go back; we are trapped behind a glass wall, only able to see in our minds what once was possible, and who we once were. We are no longer humans, but animals, fighting for territory and scraps of food.
As we have progressed, we have lost tolerance. The Left will tell you that they are the most tolerant people the world has ever seen. That is, of course, a lie. The Left is only tolerant of those with whom they agree—which isn’t tolerance at all.
According to Town Hall, a Army Chaplain’s Assistant is being targeted for her religious beliefs. After watching a documentary in which a Pastor was condoning homosexuality, telling his gay parishioners to embrace who they are, the Chaplain’s Assistant posted a response on her personal Facebook page. This is the response in full:
“A lot ticked off, now to all my gay friends you know I care about you so don’t think otherwise. I’m watching this documentary and this gay guy went to a church and the Pastor was telling him that he needs to embrace his way and know that it is not a sin. Ok umm wow, dude it is. I’m sick of people making Gods word what it’s not. Yes God loves you as a person but He hates the sin. Tired of hearing about Pastors being ok with homosexuality.”
In response, her Commander told her to remove the post, or face demotion, and a salary decrease. Her Commander said that she was creating “a hostile and antagonistic environment in the unit.”
The Assistant says that she will not remove the post, and that she will not be intimidated into hiding her beliefs.
“I haven’t taken it down, and I won’t take it down…I’ve never gotten in trouble for anything. And there’s nothing hostile or antagonistic in the post…Where does it stop? If they are going to silence me on Facebook, where will it stop?”
Todd Hudnall, her Colorado Pastor, came to the defense of the Assistant, saying:
“I read what she posted and there was absolutely no trace of animus, disrespect or hostility. Instead, she expressed love for her gay friends but insisted that biblical values should not be compromised. Her issue wasn’t with anyone who is gay but with pastors who refuse to acknowledge scriptural teaching about homosexual behavior…I was struck by the fact that the military was denying her right to privately exercise her freedom of expression and freedom of religion.”
Where is the tolerance on the part of the Military? I can guarantee that if someone of a faith besides Christianity posted something similar to what the Assistant posted, the response would not be the same. That, right there, is intolerance. Tolerance–in a sense–means dealing with the world around you; it means seeing people for who they are, not what they are. Tolerance means that although you may not agree with someone, you respect them as a human being, and treat them as you would want to be treated.
The Military cannot violate freedom of speech. The Assistant has every right to express her beliefs in a way that doesn’t create an uncomfortable environment for her peers. She did that. She respectfully addressed her biblical understanding on her private Facebook page.
Finally, what the Chaplain’s Assistant said is correct? If the Military silences her on Facebook, where and when will they act next? If they can reach their arms into the personal lives of soldiers–specifically and deliberately targeting religious beliefs–what is stopping them from going further? The answer is nothing. Nothing is stopping them. Animus will turn into hostility, and hostility into tyranny.
I don’t care if you agree with the Chaplain’s Assistant or not. I don’t care if you think her beliefs are wrong. If you care about our country, if you care about the future of our liberties, you will stand with her.
With this case, a small, fragile piece of our collective freedom is teetering on the edge of a cliff. If it is allowed to fall, it will shatter into a million tiny pieces which we will never be able to put back together. It will be just one more piece of humanity lost, pushing us further toward tyranny.

BOOM…
I SAID THIS HERE BEFORE
Humans have three lives.
1. Public, Jackass, Rockstar, etc.
2. Family, Mom, Dad, Kids
3. Private, God, Religion, Spiritual
When you MIX these three you get chaos and destruction. THat’s WHY the 4th is a GOD GIVEN RIGHT. IN MY OPINION.
Also, that dude Said “I read”
that means SOMEONE SPIED IT, TARGETED IT, EXPLOITED IT — even if not the pastor.
There are no microphones in the confession stand (full disclosure I am not catholic either) or Fiber Optic cable to GOD!
There can not be a TV== (audio + video) watching Mom, Dad, and Kids with no consent either, there can not be a radio = (audio only many emissions possible)
The people who think this is a god given right to exploit (mixing) are oath breaking scum, they kill propagation, creativity, religion, property, health, rights, happiness and wealth.)
Go ahead tell your boss your a cross dressing buddha-satanist with a thing for welfare…. and see what happens when it’s on the 10 PM “news you can count on.” or “news you can depend on” or “news frist” or “where the news comes frist”
By gum, it may be the frist (first) but it ain’t news it’s the steering of all issues forget importance , glorify insignificance.
“Nu’z u kan trist”
or better yet
“news you can tune out of”

Therein lies the problem.
Fakebook.
