Good planks adopted by Republic Party...

by Tim Bayly on August 21, 2012 - 2:50pm

Beyond their opposition to child-slaughter, this encouraging summary of Republican party platform planks just received from the Center for Military Readiness...

  • "We reject the use of the military as a platform for social experimentation and will not accept attempts to undermine military priorities and mission readiness."
  • "We support women's  exemption from direct ground combat units and infantry battalions."
  • "The spiritual welfare of our troops and retired service members should be a priority of our national leadership....there is an urgent need for the kind of counseling that faith-based institutions can best provide.  We support rights of conscience and religious freedom for military chaplains and people of faith.  A Republican Commander-in-Chief will protect religious independence of military chaplains and will not tolerate attempts to ban Bibles or religious symbols from military facilities." 
  • "We will enforce and defend in court the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), in the armed forces as well as in the civilian world."

I agree that the planks are great.  But am sadden that the planks will not be supportive enough by those with R's behind their names to get them done. However, it is an interesting silver lining behind that cloud.
