If you saw K-19 The Widowmaker, you’d remember the Political Commissar that would travel with the troops, show them Soviet Propaganda, make sure communism was being practiced.
Well, today we have Equal Opportunity Officers, they’re not there to protect any individual’s rights, in today’s Army you can be a Pagan and practice your beliefs, no problem, their goal is to intimidate the majority, as Fox News and others have reported:
Don’t say Christmas.
That’s the message that was conveyed to a group of soldiers at Camp Shelby by an equal opportunity officer from the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, according to a soldier who attended a recent briefing.
“She said an individual can say Christmas, but as an organization in the Army you can’t say Christmas,” the soldier told me.
….
It’s not the first time Equal Opportunity officers have caused trouble at Camp Shelby. Earlier this year, I reported exclusively about a briefing at Camp Shelby that labeled the American Family Association as a domestic hate group.

Is this not ridiculous? Can they also not say Happy Halloween, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Easter, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza? Christmas is a FEDERAL HOLIDAY, what else are you supposed to say in December? Happy Solstice? Happy Festivus? Or should we follow SouthParks example and celebrate Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo?
Here’s how the army describes their program:
The Equal Opportunity (EO) program formulates, directs, and sustains a comprehensive effort to maximize human potential and to ensure fair treatment for all persons based solely on merit, fitness, and capability in support of readiness. EO philosophy is based on fairness, justice, and equity.

Sure, that how it always begins. Today you accommodate an Atheist, tomorrow the EOP tells you to shut up. Obama’s goal is clear, he wants to politicize the army just like Castro and Chavez have done in their respective countries.
