Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley Fired For Criticizing Islam At Joint Forces Staff College
In the Spring of this year, US Army Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Dooley was condemned by the Joints Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and relieved of teaching duties at Joint Forces Staff College for teaching a course judged to be offensive to Islam.
The course he taught, Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism, was an elective course that Lt. Col. Dooley's superiors judged as presenting Islam in a negative way. His superiors were persuaded to come to this conclusion after receiving an October 2011 letter in which 57 Muslim organizations claimed to be offended by the course.
The fact that Lt. Col. Dooley is a highly decorated combat veteran with nearly 20 years of service under his belt apparently held little or no sway with the JCS. As a matter of fact, JCS Chairman General Martin Dempsey "personally attacked" Lt. Col. Dooley on C-Span on May 10, 2012, during a Pentagon News Conference.
Yet the craziest part of all this is that "the course content, the guest speakers, and the method of instruction" for the course was all approved by the the Joint Forces Staff College "years ago."
Former CIA agent Claire M. Lopez commented on the state of things: "All US military Combatant Commands, Services, the National Guard Bureau, and Joint Chiefs are under Dempsey's Muslim Brotherhood-dictated order to ensure that henceforth, no US military course will ever again teach truth about Islam that the jihadist enemy finds offensive (or just too informative)."
God bless Lt. Col. Dooley for possessing the courage of his convictions.

Democratic Lawmaker Refuses To Lead The Pledge Of Allegiance
A Democratic lawmaker shocked her fellow House members when she refused to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. When asked to do so, Pennsylvania State Representative Babette Josephs said, “I do not pledge the flag of the allegiance based on my First Amendment rights and the fact that I really think it’s a prayer, and I don’t pray in public.”
The Pledge is regarded as an expression of loyalty to the flag and the United States of America. Rep. Josephs believes that the words “under God” make it a prayer. State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-PA) was the one who asked her to lead the Pledge at that meeting. Today on Fox and Friends, he said that as a veteran, he finds it offensive that any elected leader would decide to not represent their constituents and themselves in this manner.
Rep. Josephs stands by her decision, saying, “How many years ago was 1954? I have not said the Pledge of Allegiance since and I will not say it into the future. Unless they take those words out and make it less of a prayer.” -Fox News/October 7, 2012
