Virginia governor gets flak for Jesus

Virginia governor gets flak for Jesus
May 2, 2010

Staff — the Underground

Two years ago, former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine forced State Police Chaplains to deny Christ or resign from their jobs. As a result six chaplains resigned, and two others– Rex Carter and Mike Honaker, decided to turn in their badges.

Now current Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell is getting flak because he overturned Kaine’s decision, and has allowed state Police Chaplains to publicly pray, “in Jesus name.”

This has upset the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who felt the ban should have been embraced rather than rejected.

They accused McDonnell of giving in to conservatives and Christians, and cited the First Amendment in defense of the ban.

[…]

The restoration of the right to pray “in Jesus name” came as a result of a two-year campaign led by Chaplain Klingenschmitt, who led rallies, sent up to 15,000 petitions, and faxed voters guides to over 23,000 Virginia pastors in the name of free speech.

This mobilized the pastors and shifted the election polls, previously at 47-44 percent, to 59-41 percent in favor of McDonnell.

The church goers and conservatives shifted their support on the basis of this issue.

With McDonnell fulfilling his campaign pledge, the six chaplains who had lost their jobs and Rex Carter and Mike Honaker will be invited back to their jobs.

Religious Right Groups Get McDonnell to Rescind Prayer Policy for State Police Chaplains

Religious Right Groups Get McDonnell to Rescind Prayer Policy for State Police Chaplains
April 28, 2010

Right Wing Watch

 
Back in 2008, Gordon Klingenschmitt found a new crusade, demanding a reversal of the policy […] telling policy chaplains to offer nondenominational prayers at department-sanctioned public events.

Chaps organized rallys protesting the policy, but to no avail … at least until Bob McDonnell became Governor, who has now ordered the policy changed thanks to lobbying by state-based Religious Right groups:

After months of lobbying by conservative activists, Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) has quietly reversed a policy banning Virginia State Police troopers from referring to Jesus Christ in public prayers.

McDonnell this afternoon sent Col. W. Steven Flaherty, the State Police superintendent, to tell the nine troopers who serve as chaplains about the change in policy.

“The Governor does not believe the state should tell chaplains of any faith how to pray,” McDonnell spokesman Tucker Marin said. “Religious officials of all faiths should be allowed to pray according to the dictates of their own conscience, and in accordance with their faith traditions, while being respectful of the faith traditions of others.
…

Donald Blake, president of Virginia Christian Alliance, said last week that he spoke to McDonnell about the change at a recent fundraiser at the governor’s mansion and at a private meeting with McDonnell’s chief of staff Martin Kent.

Other groups, including the Family Foundation of Virginia, also support a change and have been lobbying for one.

[…]

“We are obviously thrilled that Governor McDonnell has fulfilled his campaign promise to restore the religious liberty rights of state police chaplains,” said Victoria Cobb, president of the Family Foundation of Virginia. “His action reverses the discriminatory policy of the previous administration and ensures that chaplains can remain true to their faith at public events.”

Victory — Virginia Governor Restores Jesus-Prayers by Police Chaplains
Thursday, April 28, 2010

Christian Newswire

 
MEDIA ADVISORY, April 28 /Christian Newswire/ — The Governor of Virginia Bob McDonnell has restored the rights of six State Police Chaplains to pray publicly “in Jesus name,” reversing the policy of his predecessor Governor Tim Kaine who forced the chaplains to deny Christ or resign from their jobs.

“This victory comes after our two-year campaign for Jesus name,” said Chaplain Klingenschmitt, who led a 1,000 person rally outside the Governor’s mansion in 2008, then submitted up to 15,000 petitions to reinstate the chaplains jobs and free speech.

“We faxed voter guides to 2300+ Virginia pastors last summer, comparing Bob McDonnell, who campaigned for chaplains rights to pray in Jesus name, to his opponent Creigh Deeds who voted against Jesus prayers in the Senate. Those pastors helped us move the polls from 47-44% before our faxes, to the 59-41% victory for McDonnell on election day, because of this issue.”

Now that McDonnell has fulfilled his campaign pledge, the six chaplain heroes including Rex Carter and Mike Honaker, who had turned in their badges rather than deny Christ, will be invited back to their chaplain jobs, and given free speech to pray “in Jesus name.”

Chaplain Klingenschmitt will hold a press conference at noon on Monday, 3 May near the corner of 12th and Broad in Richmond Virginia (outside the Patrick Henry Building), to display the 15,000 petitions that helped Gov. McDonnell restore chaplains rights. Police chaplains are invited to come meet the media. For interviews now or then, call or email Chaplain Klingenschmitt at 719-360-5132 cell, chaplaingate@yahoo.com or Don Blake of the Virginia Christian Alliance, at 804-651-1700.

Troopers allowed to pray 'in Jesus name'

Troopers allowed to pray ‘in Jesus name’
Thursday, April 28, 2010

World Net Daily

State trooper chaplains in Virginia are being told they can pray “in Jesus name” again just two years after then-Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine affirmed a measure ordering them use only “nonsectarian” prayers or quit.

According to Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt of the “Pray in Jesus Name” organization, the new governor, Republican Bob McDonnell, has restored the rights of six state police chaplains “to pray publicly ‘in Jesus name.'”

“This victory comes after our two-year campaign for Jesus name,” Klingenschmitt said.

He led a 1,000-person rally outside the governor’s mansion in 2008, then submitted some 15,000 petitions to reinstate the chaplains’ jobs and free speech.

“We faxed voter guides to 2300-plus Virginia pastors last summer, comparing Bob McDonnell, who campaigned for chaplains’ rights to pray in Jesus name, to his opponent Creigh Deeds, who voted against Jesus prayers in the Senate. Those pastors helped us move the polls from 47-44 percent before our faxes, to the 59-41 percent victory for McDonnell on election day, because of this issue,” Klingenschmitt said.

He said now that McDonnell has lifted the ban, the six chaplains who turned in their badges rather than exclude Jesus from their prayers, including Rex Carter and Mike Honaker, will be invited back to their positions.

According to a political blog at the Washington Post, McDonnell dispatched the state police superintendent, Col. W. Steven Flaherty, to announce the policy change.

“The governor does not believe the state should tell chaplains of any faith how to pray,” Tucker Marin, a McDonnell spokesman, told the blog. “Religious officials of all faiths should be allowed to pray according to the dictates of their own conscience, and in accordance with their faith traditions, while being respectful of the faith traditions of others.”

It also had been Flaherty who announced earlier that chaplains would be allowed to offer only prayers that did not reference Jesus.

The issue arose following a lawsuit against the city of Fredericksburg for banning a councilman from concluding his routine council prayers – offered on a rotating basis among members – “in Jesus’ name.”

[…]

When the rule change was imposed, six of the chaplains resigned their responsibilities rather than be forced to pray without mentioning Jesus. At the time, Kaine said he didn’t need the name of Jesus in his prayers.

“It doesn’t diminish my ability to worship my God, to pray to the Father or the Lord without mentioning Jesus Christ,” he said.

Then a coalition of pastors wrote to Kaine seeking a change in the policy.

“Six chaplains lost their jobs as chaplains, having effectively ‘turned in their chaplain badge’ in protest over the governor’s ‘non-sectarian’ prayer policy,” Klingenschmitt reported at the time. “They are no longer permitted to perform chaplain duties, until they comply with the prayer policy and get reinstated.”

Klingenschmitt said the chaplains “were given direct verbal orders to stop praying ‘in Jesus name’ … [and] faced with a choice between disobeying orders and violating their conscience by publicly denying the name of Jesus Christ, they resigned.”

That’s exactly what persecution is, he insisted.

Klingenschmitt, whose battle with the military over his use of the phrase remains in court where he’s seeking reinstatement, said he “cannot believe we live in a society where government officials literally dictate the content of a chaplain’s prayers and dare to punish or exclude chaplains who pray ‘in Jesus name.'”

Judge Bans National Day of Prayer: Sign Free Petition to Obama
Tuesday, April 16, 2010

Christian Newswire

 
MEDIA ADVISORY, April 16 /Christian Newswire/ — Federal Judge Barbara Crabb ruled in favor of atheist complainers at the Freedom from Religion Foundation, that government recognition of prayer violates the First Amendment. Crabb claimed her decision “carries out the Founders’ plan of preserving religious liberty to the fullest extent possible in a pluralistic society,” proving she actually believes the Founding Fathers, who prayed to the Judeo-Christian God in Congress, would now suddenly oppose public acts of prayer.

The Pray In Jesus Name Project, led by Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, has already gathered several thousand paper and electronic petition signatures asking President Obama to defend and reinstate public observance of the National Day of Prayer, which Congress created in 1952.

To sign the FREE petition asking President Obama to reinstate NDOP, visit: http://tinyurl.com/obamapray. Please also help our petition go viral by tweeting these words on Twitter/Facebook: “Sign Free Petition: Ask President Obama to reinstate the National Day of Prayer. http://tinyurl.com/obamapray. Please re-tweet many times.”

But thus far, White House officials have not yet agreed to meet with Chaplain Klingenschmitt, or receive his petitions. Please call the White House at 202-456-1111 to leave a comment for Joshua Dubois, leader of Obama’s faith initiative.

“As a former Navy Chaplain who was punished for praying ‘in Jesus name’ in uniform,” said Klingenschmitt, “I will be joining thousands of people and scores of national ministry leaders at the MayDay2010.org event on May 1st, to pray at the Lincoln Memorial. I hereby invite President Obama to come pray with us, and receive our petitions in person that day.”

The MayDay2010.org prayer rally at the Lincoln Memorial on May 1st is is endorsed by James Dobson, Tim Wildmon, Dutch Sheets, Cindy Jacobs, Janet Porter, Rick Scarborough, Mat Staver, 5 Congressmen, and many others.

Chaplain Klingenschmitt may participate in a press conference late next week outside the White House, but is available now for news interviews, at 719-360-5132, or email chaplaingate@yahoo.com.

CNW: Anti-Christian Complainer Attacks Franklin Graham and National Day of Prayer

Anti-Christian Complainer Attacks Franklin Graham and National Day of Prayer
Tuesday, April 21, 2010

Christian Newswire

 
MEDIA ADVISORY, April 21 /Christian Newswire/ — The anti-Christian complainer once described by a Pentagon spokesman as “a rabid anti-evangelical” Mikey Weinstein has publicly attacked Franklin Graham, leader of The Samaritan’s Purse and son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham. AP and the New York Times report Weinstein now demands the Pentagon chaplain must disinvite Graham to pray with our troops on the National Day of Prayer (NDOP), because Graham is Christian. 

“We are at war with a sub-set of evangelical Christianity…how many? Roughly 12.6% of the American public or 38 million people,” admitted Mikey Weinstein, who has repeatedly sued the military (and lost in court) to demand punishment of any troops who talk openly about their faith in Jesus Christ.

Weinstein now accuses Franklin Graham of daring to endorse Christianity, and daring to criticize violent Islamic terrorists. “Given the heinously hurtful, bigoted, and very public continual statements of Mr. Graham against [Islamic terrorists], and his position as honorary chairman of the [National Day of Prayer Task Force, Mikey] hereby demands that the Pentagon Chaplains Office immediately rescind its invitation to Mr. Graham,” ordered Mr. Weinstein in a letter to Defense Secretary Gates.

In 2008, Weinstein “demanded the court-martial” of the Army Chief of Chaplains because the two-star General issued a public proclamation inviting military chaplains of all diverse faiths to pray for our troops.

In 2009, Weinstein also “demanded the court-martial” of an Army Chaplain in Afghanistan for “proselytizing” because the Chaplain quoted Jesus’ words in a sermon during an optionally-attended church service. The Pentagon later seized and burned the privately owned Bibles of American troops attending that service, to Weinstein’s great delight.

Also in 2009, Weinstein revealed his anti-Semitic tendencies by filing lawsuit against Chaplain Klingenschmitt for praying a Jewish prayer to God and for quoting the Hebrew Psalm 109 (verbatim) in that same prayer to God, which allegedly caused Weinstein to “suffer severe emotional distress.” Weinstein also criticized Orthodox Jews and Dennis Prager for supporting Israel, and Reform Jews and Abe Foxman for having “no spine…no balls,” and threatened “I would like to beat the **** out of [Klingenschmitt] in a boxing ring or in an alley behind a Safeway.”

Chaplain Klingenschmitt invites people who support Franklin Graham and NDOP to sign a FREE petition at http://tinyurl.com/obamapray asking President Obama to reinstate White House observance of NDOP which Congress enacted in 1952 but Obama did not publicly celebrate in 2009, replacing NDOP with public banquets for homosexuals and Muslim Ramadan prayers. Last week a Federal Judge in Wisconsin ruled Congress somehow violated the First Amendment in 1952, by encouraging people to exercise their First Amendment rights, to assemble and pray.

“Thousands will gather to pray at the Lincoln Memorial in DC on May 1st for the http://MayDay2010.org prayer rally, endorsed by James Dobson, Dutch Sheets, Tim Wildmon, Cindy Jacobs, Janet Porter, Mat Staver, Rick Scarborough, and myself, and I personally invite the anti-Christian Mikey Weinstein to come pray with us, and give his life to Jesus Christ,” said Chaplain Klingenschmitt, who may be contacted for interviews at 719-360-5132 cell or chaplaingate@yahoo.com.

MEDIA ADVISORY, April 23 /Christian Newswire/ — The anti-Christian complainer once described by a Pentagon spokesman as “a rabid anti-evangelical,” Mikey Weinstein has duped Pentagon officials into disinviting Franklin Graham, leader of The Samaritan’s Purse and son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham, from praying with our troops on the National Day of Prayer (NDOP), because Graham is Christian and opposes Islamic terrorism.

Franklin Graham Disinvited By Pentagon Due To Efforts Of Anti-Christian Hate Monger, Mikey Weinstein

Franklin Graham Disinvited By Pentagon Due To Efforts Of Anti-Christian Hate Monger, Mikey Weinstein
April 23, 2010

John G. Winder — The Cypress Times

Petition available for signature, will be sent to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates urging Graham be reinstated.

Pentagon officials invited Christian evangelist Franklin Graham, leader of “The Samaritan’s Purse” and son of Billy Graham, to pray with our troops on the National Day of Prayer. Following complaints, the Pentagon disinvited Graham from the event. The change of heart by Pentagon officials was prompted primarily by Mikey Weinstein.

The official reason for disinviting Graham was because Graham has described Islam as “evil” and “wicked”.

The Stars and Stripes reports that the Military Religious Freedom Foundation had been prepared to seek a temporary restraining order against National Prayer Day if it were “polluted by someone as hideously Islamophobic as Franklin Graham.” said Mikey Weinstein, leader of the organization.

A Pentagon spokesman once described Mikey Weinstein as a “rabid anti-evangelical”. Weinstein has said of his group’s purpose, “We are at war with a sub-set of evangelical Christianity…how many? Roughly 12.6% of the American public or 38 million people.”

Weinestein has repeatedly sued the U.S. Military demanding punishment of any troops who openly discuss their faith in Jesus Christ. Mr. Weinstein has lost those cases in court.

In a breaking news expose, The Pray In Jesus Name Project has published 27 violent, profanity-laced, and bigoted anti-Christian comments made by Mr. Weinstein himself, who was reportedly paid with our tax-dollars to defame Christianity to our troops, and according to The Pray In Jesus Name Project “should be disinvited far more quickly than Franklin Graham.”

Due to the profane nature of many of Mr. Weinstein’s statements we won’t publish all of them here, but below are a few we can publish:

“Our Pentagon has been turned into a Pentacostalgon, and our department of defense has been turned into an imperious, vicioustic, contagion of unconstitutional triumphalism by people that want to kill us, or have their version of Jesus kill us, if we don’t accept their Biblical worldview.” – Weinstein

[…]

“General Petraeus has, by his own hand, become a quintessential poster child of this fundamentalist Christian religious predation, via his unadulterated and shocking public endorsement of a book touting both Christian supremacy and exceptionalism,” Weinstein told Military.com Aug. 16.

And by endorsing a book that argues only those who believe in God can fully contribute to the military mission or unit, Weinstein contends that Petraeus insults “”the integrity, character and veracity of approximately 21 percent of our armed forces members who choose not to follow any particular religious faith.”

[…]

“[Petraeus] should still be relieved of duty and court martialed,” [Weinstein] said.

[…]

“Either you stay quiet and let the evangelical chaplains shape a generation of the most powerful instrument of death the world has ever known into an army for Jesus, or you speak up. I couldn’t stay quiet”… today we face a new danger; the rise of the “fundamentalist Christian, parachurch, military corporate proselytizing complex.” – Weinstein

[…]

“We are a weapon. We’re a militant organization. Our job is to kick ass, take names, lay down a withering field of fire, and leave sucking chest wounds on this unconstitutional heart of darkness, if you will, this imperious fascistic contagion of unconstitutional triumphalism.” – Weinstein

Standing in opposition to Weinstein and his organization is the leader of The Pray In Jesus Name Project, U.S. Navy Chaplain Captain Gordon Klingenschmitt of whom Mr. Weinstein has said,“I would like to beat the s–t out of him in a boxing ring or in an alley behind a Safeway.”

[…]

Chaplain Klingenschmitt has now organized a petition which will go to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates requesting to re-invite Franklin Graham to pray with our troops at the National Day of Prayer, and stop paying the violent, profanity laced, and bigotted anti-Christian Mikey Weinstein who blasphemes Christianity to our troops.

“Never did Franklin Graham threaten profanity-laced violence or declare war against 38 million Americans because of their faith, like Mr. Weinstein has,” said Chaplain Klingenschmitt, who is launching a FREE national petition drive to SECDEF Robert Gates, to re-invite Franklin Graham and disinvite Mikey Weinstein.

“Thousands will gather to pray at the Lincoln Memorial in DC on May 1st for the http://MayDay2010.org prayer rally, endorsed by James Dobson, Dutch Sheets, Tim Wildmon, Cindy Jacobs, Janet Porter, Mat Staver, Rick Scarborough, and myself, and I personally invite the anti-Christian Mikey Weinstein to come pray with us, and give his life to Jesus Christ,” said Chaplain Klingenschmitt.
