A Tale of Two Scandals: The Air Force Academy and Abe Foxman
Ready to start blogging again and what pops up in the news: more “scandal” at the Air Force Academy and the rantings of Abe Foxman, head of the ADL. Is this for real? Are we about to see “oceans and oceans of blood” flowing from the rise of “radical Christianity” in the American government?
What a strange week this has been. Saturday morning (11.12.05) the local Colorado Springs Gazette had another article about inappropriate Christian efforts at the Air Force Academy. It seems that a missionary to the Academy had indicated in his prayer letter to donors of his special access to the cadets. This gave Mikey Weinstein, the self-appointed watchdog of all things religious at the Academy, a chance to once again call for making the Academy an essentially religious-free zone. Then on Wednesday it comes out that Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), sees the greatest threat to America coming from, no not Islamicists, but Christians (http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/newscontent.php3?artid=11659).
