mr. weinstein wants to hold military officers responsible for the perceived religious proselytizing. i got it write not guilty huffington post weinstein said quote we face well funded gangs and monsters who terrorize fellow americans by forcing weapon niced and twisted version of christianity on their helpless subordinates in our nation's law forces. we must vigorously path lock lo jikly antigay islamophobic and rabidly intolerant for what they are joining us from albuquerque, new mexico is mr. weinstein. i want to get specific here. do you believe that an officer in the military who opposes openly gay individuals serving, is that officer homophobe bic i you know having any viewpoint at all is fine. there is a difference between what you personally feel inside and the behavior that you exhibit. if you are showing any sort of derision or any sort of derision or tyranny on a member who is openly gay in the military you are clearly in violation of the constitution. >> bill: but you don't brand anyone for sincerely held belief better for military order if gays used to serve as they used t

mr. weinstein said that the act of sharing one's faith, proselytizing, is aiken to spiritual rape.at the pentagon. >> sean: he used it while selling this stupidity. >> spiritual rape. this is the same pentagon that invites mr. weinstein to come in and give his view of things, but at the same time they're banning people like franklin graham from the pentagon's national day of prayer. they're banning people like tony perkins from the family research council. >> sean: let me bring in jacque. you are a minister. you and i disagree on politics. but you know something, if you were serving in the military, and if -- because we know how stressful, all these kids coming back from iraq and afghanistan, they have ptsd, the stress, the pressure. i went to church when i was iraq, and i've never been to a church service as moving as that in my life, because everybody in that service knew their life was on the line, they could die the next day. it's an experience you can't duplicate unless you were in a war area. i would love it if you were them to help these soldiers, reach out to them, share yo

mr. weinstein doesn't seem concerned about anyone yelling allah achbar and killing 13 other service members as an expression of religion. he doesn't seem to have found that treasonous or problematic. but some of the rest of us do. common sense that and reason will win out, especially considering the historic nature of our constitution. and those who parrot the words separation of church and state as if they are in the constitution, i find, don't often know that those are not in the constitution and are not aware that thomas jefferson coined that phrase in a letter to the danberry baptists where he also coined the phrase wall of separation. and and this is a president who's been confirmed by secular and ven the congressional resource folks that jefferson most sundays when he was here in washington

mr. weinstein exploits freedom of speech to label christians as the christian taliban and al qaeda. but he seeks to shut down the religious freedom of expression of service members in the process. i am troubled with several anti-christian steps the pentagon has taken in recent years. that is why my colleagues and i seek answers from secretary hagel on this important question now. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from indiana seek recognition? without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. >> this week is national law enforcement week and as chair of homeland security committee on emergency response preparedness and communications and as someone who has worked closely with law enforcement as a former deputy mayor of indianapolis and u.s. attorney, i want to mark this moment. men and women of law enforcement run into the most difficult situations while the rest of us are trying to get out. they spend their lives in harm's way to keep the rest of us out of it. when i toured the flood damage
