LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY odilla) I am on the e-mailing list for the AFA. I received this "Plea" Friday afternoon.
This seems this is another Dominionist persecution plea.  The government is doing what right for all the people, and the Dominionist feel they should be the only ones. 
Or at least, this is how I feel.  Please let me know if you feel otherwise.

Federal government bans flag-folding recitations following one complaint

It is time for Christians to say enough is enough

Dear ,

In the latest attack on Christianity, the U.S. government has banned the flag-folding recitations at all 125 national cemeteries. The banning came as the result of one complaint! The situation is similar to that in which one person removed prayer from schools.

This article from The Associated Press explains the situation:

Complaints about religious content have led to a ban on flag-folding recitations by Veterans Administration employees and volunteers at all national cemeteries.

At thousands of military burials, VA volunteers have folded the American flag 13 times and recited the significance of each fold to survivors. The 11th fold glorifies "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” The 12th glorifies "God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost."

Citing a need for uniformity, the National Cemetery Administration has prohibited unpaid VA volunteers as well as employees from conducting the recital at all 125 national cemeteries.

American Legion attorney Rees Lloyd calls it "another attempt by secularist fanatics to cleanse any reference to God."

Following one complaint, the Veterans Administration has made anti-Christian bigotry the law of the land. The U.S. government has bowed to pressure from one radical anti-Christian secularist. Allowed to stand, the action by the Veterans Administration, in essence, means that anti-Christian bigotry is now the accepted and approved law of the land.

I'm not sure how, in a federally funded event, they ideas of  "glorifying" "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob", and "God the Father, The Son and Holy Ghost" are really things that need to be said. If people would like to have a Christian burial, that is fine.  But using the US Flag as a Christian tool, is kinda of offensive to me.
