Can US Military Endorse Christian Event?
The biased reporting from Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly on the decision of the US Air Force to deny a request for an aircraft flyby at a Christian festival in Idaho obfuscated a real issue of First Amendment law under the US Constitution as I show in this video. The 3 fair use clips from Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” come from the July 9, 2009, broadcast some of which is available online at www.foxnews.com The webpage showing the mission statement of the Treasure Valley God and Country Festival in Nampa, Idaho, that I briefly show in my video is online at godandcountryfestival.com The full text of the US Supreme Court case, Everson v. Board of Education, 330 US 1 (1947), to which I referred in my video is available online at caselaw.lp.findlaw.com The image of the $100 bill I used in this video came from my own scan. The image of the Ten Commandments monument is from TheZachMorrisExperience and is used under the creative commons license described at a link on the photo at commons.wikimedia.org In compliance with that creative commons license, this video may be distributed by anyone who complies with the creative commons license described at creativecommons.org And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at www.youtube.com
@zigzagzoo12 try watching a video a couple more times and maybe you will understand what the issue was! Its not about religion, its about religion in government!
Everyone knows if Jesus came back today, he’d use the US military to help spread the word. He’d probably be carrying an uzi.
Fox news is jokes
US military providing Jets to flyby at a Christian “spread the good news of Jesus” event would be a violation of the Establishment clause. US military and Government must remain neutral to all religions and ideologies.
Fox news is a pos.
no plane for jesus….lulz
I feel sorry for U.S. citizens on how Fox has vested interest in Narrowminded people, they have on the payroll.
And you guys really have to watch this uptight little kids mentality?!?!?!
That channel shows to have absolutely nothing to offer!
Monotheism doesn’nt work, none of em. Since they can’t go with anything that is different, than it’s never true. Moneytheism on the other hand, makes us equall. So god on money is just a fair thing, and finally someone had been honest!
Hehe. shame to see Christianity in so many colours, so many seperate christian cults. When 1 thing happens the cult is disbanded and a new one popp’s up. Those may be Religions, but not offer anyone Spirituality.
A real man of faith should do shopping …
I bet this LiberalViewer is perfectly ok for government money to go to Planned Parenthood, NPR, NEA, Acorn and other Atheist-supported organizations, but to have a simple flyby for what may be a Christian organization is a complete outrage for him! The liberal hypocricy continues….
O’Reilly Fucker… as usual…
Bill O’conman is a fucking ignorant bronze age brain-dead.
Oh yeah the President has so much time he called up his top military guys and told them not to fly those planes over Idaho this year. Jesus Billy O’RLY you must be really desperate for some negative material on Obama.
Would O’Reilly have been so supporting of the event if it was for ‘spreading the good news of Mohammad?”
If it were for “Allah and Country?”

@jesusislord1634 The majority of the founders were, in fact, deists. Liberalviewer actually quoted Thomas Jefferson in another clip he put together that went like this: “The greatest enemies to the doctrines of Jesus are those calling themselves the expositors of them, who have perverted them for the structure of a system of a fancy absolutely incomprehensible, and without any foundation in his genuine word.” It’s all the decent people mis-interpreting the bible that are killing our culture.

@daledaddy1 yep, because 8 years of trickle down economy worked so well, we should keep it going for another 4. Good plan!
Or just greedy bastards.
Good Analysis. That’s why I don’t like Muslims getting preferential trement and airport security or insurance.

“but the Republicans are way to right now”
- lol, ‘now’
Thanks Libral viewer for a great clip. I don’t always agree with you but you make some great points on the bias of Fox “news”. I would like to see something in regards to Fox “news” being forced to changed their name because they are all comentary (all heat and no light). I used to be real middle of the road in regards to the economy and social issues but the Republicans are way to right now that its really hard to assimilate with them at all. Thanks again.
@daledaddy1
Blah Blah Blah…
Show me the law that prohibits it… Or shut up…
@dex1391 Doing a flyby of millitary jets (that are designed to end human life) at a christian event (designed to promote Jesus) isn’t promoting a relegion? What if it was an Islamic event? Or an atheist event???? And who paid for the fuel? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Obtuse chrisitans just want America to endorse their religion and no other. Right wingers want goverment off their back but want flybys at their events, prayer in their schools and gov’t in womans uterus’.WTF?
naneedj.info I m warm and inquisitive
I think the consensus was…”this was the first year in the history of the God and Country festival that a fly over was denied” And it was the first year that pres. B.O. has been in office! Like it or not! This country was founded on Christian Judeo principles.
If you don’t believe me do some research….
@dex1391
Its called the establishment clause of the constitution which was brought up in the video.
@dex1391 watch the full video and you will find out
