Do those Tennesseans deserve Zach Wamp's representation less than Christians do? I challenge you to show me any multimillion dollar church built on an army base 100 years ago. The issue isn't just that there's a massive violation of the separation of church and state. It's also that there's massive waste involved. Besides that, as the article points out, there already ARE many chapels on the military base, and something like 100 churches within a quick drive of the base. Why are you supporting a big government effort to outcompete local churches? Is it really Tennessee values to have government-run churches instead of churches that run themselves? Do Tennesseans really want to public option churches? Jeff, are you aware that almost 2 out of every 10 Tennessee residents does not believe in the Christian God?

The federal government has been building places of worship on military based for the past 100 years. Let me guess, you people are atheist, far left anti-defense pathetic flag burners. Perhaps you should consider looking around you and you might find that Zach Wamp reflects the values of Tennesseans and you folks appear to be more West European. I will buy you plane ticket if you would like to move. This article and subsequent comments are ridiculous.
