Memorial Day—Support Constitution the Fallen Vowed to Defend


The religious right hates Article VI of the U.S. Constitution.

It reads in part, "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

Mikey Weinstein has been working for Marines and servivemembers for a long time, fighting to protect their religious beliefs.

Lt. Col. Robert Bateman has a piece in Esquire on Mikey and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

Weinstein, according to the Christian supremacists, is the number one enemy in America.

Give it a read this weekend.

And Happy Memorial Day.

On Mikey Weinstein

Clause 3, Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution
Mikey Weinstein, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), keeps up the fight for religious freedom.

Latest note of Christian love is below from an e-mail. It's a step up from death threats.

Memo affirms religious neutrality of U.S. military
Mikey Wineshit you defile our neighborhood with your little road sign? the filth of your Christ hating horde of leftist jew-cowards and Christian pretenders is sad for America
The good Christian refers to a MRFF billboard depicting the memo of General Norton Schwartz, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

Quoting from Gen Schwartz' watershed edict on “Maintaining Government Neutrality Regarding Religion,” the billboard was sited in Colorado Springs where the controversial U.S. Air Force Academy is located.

The Academy has a history of anti-Semitism and official embracing of Christian Dominionism, which led Mikey Weinstein, a former cadet, to found the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).

USAF Academy Superintendent Michael Gould has slow-walked the dissemination of the memo in keeping with his history of defending what Gould apparentally regards as encroachments onto his Christian territory.

MRFF took this "extraordinary action in direct reaction to USAF Academy Superintendent Michael Gould’s astonishing refusal to distribute Gen. Schwartz’s directive to all Academy personnel under his command."
