Air Force Officer Faces Review Over Bible
Townhall.com ^ | August 17, 2016 | Todd Starnes

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is demanding an Air Force major be “aggressively punished” for having an open Bible on his desk at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo.

“It [the Bible] is very obviously a statement of Christian preference, Christian primacy,” MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein told me. “Had that been the Book of Satan or the Koran there would be blood in the freaking streets.”

He accused Maj. Steve Lewis, a supervisor at the Reserve National Security Space Institute, of “harboring and encouraging a truly abhorrent example of First Amendment civil rights violations.”

Mr. Weinstein is a fussy little fellow, isn’t he?

Col. Damon Feltman, the commander of the 310th Space Wing, told me they are reviewing the incident involving the Good Book.

Mikey needs to be hunted down and at least have a cross burned in his front yard.

We need more of that.

The Commander in Chief of the Air Force takes his oath swearing upon a Bible.

Much like the Second Amendment, the Progs never get the "Or Prohibit the Free Exercise thereof" part.

All they see is " no law respecting an establishment of religion"

And "A well regulated militia"

Obvious to me religion had nothing to do with it. The enlisted person who took that photo was seeking revenge against the officer, and knew that this venue would be effective in doing so.

Look forward to President Trump telling this Weinstein creep “You’re fired!”. When that’s done, Weinstein won’t make it to the main gate before he gets the s*** beat out of him.

The sooner Mickey Weinstein is in hell, the better the World will be.

Weinstein reminds me of Saul of Tarsus. I would rather he have his own Damascus road experience.

You got that right. MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein is one satanic SOB.

Why is this ‘unnamed airman’ afraid to sign his name to his complaint out in the open?

So the bammy administration has instructed the military to eliminate any sign of Christianity, but to openly embrace and promote izzlam.

I didn’t realize the freedom of religion banned the bible. Guess I should have gone to a fancy college to learn that.

“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce

Interesting turn of phrase there, Mikey.

“Mikey Weinstein is an abhorrent little man who wields entirely too much influence over the Air Force as an outsider.”

I want to drop this putz into downtown Tehran.

Yet, having an open Franklin-Covey Planner on YOUR desk -Airman- is simply fine.
All-the-while, FC, being a financial arm of the satanic-cult called the Mormon Church.
Point being, well...1-AMND.

Full disclosure? I use an FC planner for its utilitarianism. I do ask Jesus (King and Lord) for absolution when I hit the “Buy” button.

No, Mikey ... it's a statement of the officer's faith.

Events like this make the Bible real for me, in part thanks to Jonathan Cahn's book The Harbinger pointing to, and perhaps confirming, the signs we've passed on this road we're clearly on.

If America was ever under a veil of protection, that veil sure looks lifted to me.

And, it looks like it's my fellow Americans via GovCo who are doing the lifting.

From my 1960s childhood to here and now in our 2016, what began as a drip in the dark has quickly become a tsunami flooding our now unwalled American village.

And now, here we are, standing buck naked in the rain, helplessly watching as gathering storm's winds whirl in the thorn tree.

It all makes me feel like kicking some pricks, like the fools who are doing this to Maj. Steve Lewis.

Sometimes you have to be other people's karma and those fools definitely have some karma coming, whether they know it or now.

Perhaps military people who read the bible should try and find one of those US Government printed bibles issued during WWII to the troops and signed by President Roosevelt.
