Air Force Denies Request for Flyover at Christian Festival
Quote:
|
An Idaho community had secured an Air Force flyover for its local festival every year for more than 40 years, organizers say, but this year, the Air Force turned the request down over the festival's religious focus

So is the new administration beginning to filter down here?

Probably more the result of the USAF - and USAFA in particular - having taken so many hits over the issue of overt religious influence amongst the ranks over the last decade or so - they just need to rename it the Great Western GBLT Wiccan Moonbat and Strawberry Fields Multicultural Appreciation Days and there won't be any problems.

And maybe more than a little related to the Air Force One debacle.

Spiritual and/or patriotic citizens are such a nuisance... most of them are probably violent gun owners as well.
Will there be an inflatable bounce toy for the kids to play at when the Great Western GBLT Wiccan Moonbat and Strawberry Fields Multicultural Appreciation Day comes to town? I hear the tofu-dogs with bean sprouts and organic mustard taste really good on a mutligrain bun.

God and Country Rally denied fly over
Below is a link to view a Fox News report concerning the rally. It appears the Pentagon denied the request for the first time in 42 years. Most believe it is due to the current administration's liberal stance. I wonder how it would have been should it have been a muslim based event.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
