Dear Mr. Weinstein,

Why so many distrust and/or dislike Jews as a group, while counting individuals as friends, without religion playing a role?

It is because of people like you, Mr. Weinstein.

You must have been one hell of a pain in the butt at USAFA and in the Air Force.

(name withheld) III, Were there actually II before you? Did they actually teach you to talk like this and think like this? Or maybe you had a bad fall? It’s stunning to realize that there are still people who give evidence of their ignorance so readily, even offering it as criticism to people they don’t know personally and whose work they know even less about.

One can forgive ignorance, because the ignorant can be educated. It’s the willfully stupid it’s hard to forgive. And when one claims to have risen in the ranks as your signing statement does, it gives a whole new meaning to the (ret) at the end – a sense of relief at having somehow survived you.

For the record, Mr. Weinstein was very successful at the academy, but that was back before the so-called “Christians” and their coercive tactics became so prevalent. You remember those days, don’t you, when you and others could make snotty anti-Semitic remarks and just think you were clever?

Anyway, after having had a rather successful career, he was propelled into action against the kind of religious bigotry with which you’ve apparently chosen to align yourself. So, no, he wasn’t particularly a “a pain in the butt” at the academy and in the Air Force, but he sure has become one now: a pain in the butt to bigots and the cowards they run with. If the shoe fits, as they say…

Dearest (withheld) III,

You wrote: “Have you ever wondered…Why so many distrust and/or dislike

Thank you so much for writing. I never tire of reading the imbecilic and
inane e-mails of our intellectually-challenged haters.

Let me ask you a question: Have you ever wondered why Anti-Semities and
other bigots blame their victims? Of course you haven’t. You lack the
intellectual and moral instincts to question your own bigotry – your
all-consuming vacuity precludes you from examining why you blame those you
hate for your own hatred. But of course this isn’t all that unusual, even
Hitler blamed the Jews for his hatred of them. Martin Luther blamed his
burning hatred of the Jews on the Jews’ refusal to abandon their religious
convictions, so I suppose you’re in good company there; it’s worth noting
though that Luther also had an intense and longstanding anal fixation, so
that’s something maybe you should look out for as well – just a friendly
word of caution.

That fact that someone like you, someone who blames the Jews for being
oppressed, rose to the rank of Colonel just illustrates the scope of the
scourge of Fundamentalist/Dominionist oppression that permeates the
military today. You say Mr. Weinstein must have been a “pain in the butt”
during his years at the Air Force Academy – I’m curious, do you mean when a
group of good, Fundamentalist Christian thugs beat him nearly to death at
the Academy for being a “Christ-killer” that he was being a “pain in the
butt?” Does being targeted for hate, bigotry and oppression make one a
“pain in the butt?” Of course any intelligent human being knows the answer
to that question. However, you’re not an intelligent human being. You’re
just one more Inquisitor blaming the Jew for making him (the Inquisitor)
torture the Jew. You’re just one more morally and intellectually vacuous
imbecile who blames the Jews for his own Anti-Semitism. But that’s okay. If
you want to play arm-chair bigot, that’s your prerogative. However, while
you spew ignorance from home, we will be busy exposing religious thugs like
you in the U.S. Military and Department of Veterans Affairs, and we will be
using the U.S. Constitution and existing laws to kick your moronic asses
from here to the next millennium, and we’re not going to stop until we make
the U.S. Armed forces and Department of Veterans Affairs safe for people of
all faiths and no faith at all. You can bark your ignorance from the
sidelines all you want, but it only serves to fuel the fire of justice that
burns in our bellies.

So thanks again for your e-mail; it gave me the energy to escape the boring
calm of a vacation day and got me back fighting for the cause. Thanks to
you, I’m back to work rooting out and exposing religious thugs.

Most Affectionately,

Akiva David Miller
Director of Veterans Affairs
