What is up with the military banning bibles.

Look you know I get these calls and emails all the time and -- this -- justice seemed unbelievable.

And publisher of -- source of mine called and said tiger arguably this but they're banning bibles that.

Walter who he'd national medical center.

There's a new policy that was implemented back in September.

I actually got a copy of the policy insured up that says that parents of wounded soldiers.

Cannot receive any religious artifacts including the Bible.

So.

We had that a -- unit from.

-- from from the parent from parents.

Family members or or anybody in the general public that's what the policy sense.

That made out of -- what the policy meant to say but that's what it's sad.

Who thought -- this policy -- what can take me back to the beginning this well this happened back in September 14 and from our understanding.

The chief of staff.

For of the hospital.

Actually wrote this memorandum that was that McCain policy.

We don't know how -- the food chain this went.

But we do know that the commander of the hospital signed off on this so so lots of people read this.

And we're not quite sure how an end up becoming policy -- -- death -- -- policy right now because the title of your article I think a put up the website again says.

There were sent.

It -- -- thing happened Friday we were preparing to our story I called that the military.

And that they so we're gonna get -- so a couple of hours what are they called they said what we've done some checking in this policy's been -- -- -- that's addressing what did you guys -- decide person that they go.

Today.

So so on Fridays working with the policy today you know -- sometimes.

You know we're really surprised at how fast -- actually moved.

But look congressman Steve King Republican from Iowa actually went in the house war on Thursday night.

And he just blew a gasket very upset as a matter of fact I talk -- him Friday morning he says that -- this is an over.

He says this is a continuing trend within the Obama administration.

To really use the had to to use the military is almost a testing ground.

For offer this as a social engineering.

And we've seen an insured up over the past three years you know we've seen a lot of stories where Christian symbols or christianity itself -- come under attack with in the military soon.

I mean it won't do something very bold.

Merry Christmas -- Christmas.

They're that happy holiday wrapping -- so let me ask you about.

Other military hospitals is that a policy that was just at Walter Reed which is sound of the navy's -- knew what.

This -- this from our understanding this was just hats at Walter Reed so we we don't believe that there are any other hospitals and look.

People should contact you know if there have been allowed at a VA hospital somewhere aren't called we'll check it out and you never know that they're pretty quick to rescind policies -- Changing the world tied.

One column at a time according working on next -- is a disease we've got some we we've got some old world Christmas stories and it has been really jingles people's wells yes I would imagine there's relics that season is -- -- Hasn't gotten better or worse you think in terms of the controversy over being able to put up religious symbols of the holiday time the nativity scene in particular I think it's.

I think it's become confusing.

You know a lot of people are well intentioned of public officials.

They're they're scared about having to spend taxpayer dollars on these frivolous lawsuits by these -- crazy atheists that are out there.

So -- I think I think confusing but overall I think we're seeing fewer stories and I think that's a good thing because look the reason for the season is still the same.

And science lost it's it's ours has planned to be thankful and -- so Herman Cain.

Are you following -- all -- Josh Hermann yes you don't typically when you suspend a campaign you don't endorse that for their candidate so I take it why this is the end what does that normally that means you may be coming back.

So who knows I'm not -- That's what I want and know Todd why -- -- suspect didn't.

I don't know why not drop.

Look I did -- to give them any credit though I mean you know he went on his style through Barbie Q had a big bash you open up the campaign office and then just a couple of seconds later you pull the plug on your campaign.

But there are reports that I've been receiving.

From some folks that he does.

Plan to continue to be out there yeah and do some -- racing.

And so could -- me even during the worst of the scandal about him having to respond to these charges from these women he was raising money.

These are really bothered me I was I was watching some of the coverage one on Saturday.

And and -- so what about the allegations you know they were never proven.

What what happens -- the reporters still go after those stories and the reporter was quite frankly very honest and said you know whats the point now.

That's kind of a scary thing to know that people get out there and say things that may or may not be true.

Destroy someone's a character destroy their campaign in the hard to get -- and they get a -- Our -- He chose he could have.

Chosen to stay in the race -- -- and continued to answer to them perhaps it would have passed look at Eliot Spitzer.

-- -- -- -- -- But it'll be interesting I don't let you know everybody's claiming -- you know Michelle Bachman was pretty quick out of the -- saying that you know what welcoming McCain you McCain folks back into the fold.

A -- period but so we may find out this afternoon who he's going to endorse.

I'm sure conversations are going on behind the contributes.

Could be but you know -- I was until it's time that's true.

-- -- stars dot com.
