DID ANYONE WATCH 60 MINUTES 11-ABOUT CHRISTIANS

About how the religious majority is really taking over in the Air Force Academy? The program sounded like the minister preaching from the pulpit was browbeating everyone.
How can all this mixing up of religion and the federal government get by? Poor forfathers must be turning in their graves.

1. Could explain how there was no air defense on 9-11. If the 'Bush christian

crusade cult members' and the 'we wanna own the world' crowd wanted to pull these strings and keep the whole thing quiet, I think it could easily be done with these types of people. They are both on missions that are, in their minds, worth dying for.

2. Founders

Wouldn't be happy. To bad we can't bring some back to life: Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Paine, and the Colonial Army. I bet they'd have some comments to make.

3. Jesus?

Try bringing Him back to attend a session or two about merging government goals with religious manipulations. I think even He and Paine would reach a meeting of the minds.

5. LOL

Paine and Jesus in the same room with Falwell, Dobson, and Robertson.

In another, Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin with Bush, Rove, and Frist.

Transcripts would be nation treasures.

Life is full of surprises. Just ask Johnny. Johnny is Johnny Weida, the Lt. General in the air force who became the commandant of cadets at the Air Force Academy in April 2003 just as the sex scandal at the academy was in full flower. (A survey conducted in May disclosed that 68 percent of the 569 female cadets participating were the victims of some form of sexual harassment. In 149 of the reported incidents, attackers were cadets at the Academy.) Addressing the graduating class after his arrival at the Academy Johnny told them: "If you don't think we have . . . a sexual harassment problem at the Air Force Academy, your head is in the sand."

Notwithstanding those enlightened words, Johnny now finds himself the target of a comment from one graduate who was quoted in the Colorado Springs Gazette as saying: "The fish stinks from the head, and the head of this fish is (Superintendent) John Rosa and (Commandant) Johnny Weida." The graduate was not referring to Johnny's attitude towards the sex scandal. He was referring to Johnny's attitude towards God-his God. Pam Zubeck of the Colorado Springs Gazette has made it easy to trace Johnny's efforts to convert the Academy from a place where sexual abuse enjoyed free reign, to a place where there's freedom of religion if it's the right kind.

According to Ms. Zubeck, no sooner had Johnny arrived at his new posting than he issued advisories urging staff, faculty and cadets to observe the National Day of Prayer. In an e-mail to personnel he urged all to "ask the Lord to give us the wisdom to discover the right . . . . . the Lord is in control. He has a plan for . . . every one of us." In June he issued a commander's guidance telling cadets their first duty was to God. He did not explain how a cadet would be expected to respond if an officer said, "kill" and God said, "don't."
