Senate Misfire

The Senate removed from its list of promotions Brigadier General Johnny Weida. General Weida is the No. 2 at the Air Force Academy in Colorado. It seems that being a born again Christian has put his upward mobility on hold.

Since when does ones personal faith have any relevance to their ability to lead? This man has served for 26-plus years. He is well qualified for the promotion to Major General.

But the Senate has him under investigation, because of his religion. I guess that the Right Wing isn't in bed with the Christians after all.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be a shoe-in?
