Propaganda Bonanza For ISIS: Air Force General Defies Law By Witnessing for Jesus in Full Uniform  on Worldwide TV and Internet

I hope you find yourself praying to the God you all hate so much! Preach on General!!!!!

Your ignorance in response to the general voicing his belief is the exact same rights that have been given to you to disbelieve and vocalize it as with the rights of the Muslims
try being a little less hypocritical and ignorant of the way our country is if you in fact are not happy I am sure I and several million others would be happy to pay for your flights to some other foreign country that gives you no rights

I am an atheist and I find the actions of your group appalling. You represent all that is wrong with this country right now when you refuse to believe others have the freedom to worship when and where they choose.

A war is coming in the US and you Libtards will be on the losing end of it.

Thank God for Craig S. Olson, his service to our nation, and his comments about his belief in God.

Our constitutional rights come from God, not man. And those who want to take away our rights are attacking the core connection between God and America.

This is nothing new, but it is more dangerous today since our president endorses this leftist, communist program of attack.

Your group should be ashamed of itself and come clean by displaying the hammer and sickle instead of the American flag.

God Bless America!

Freedom “of” religion, not “from” religion you hypocritical pos. Men of faith and honor like this General fight for your very right to speak, organize, worship, no matter your race, religion or sexual orientation. The very fact that you’re attacking this man for his faith tells me you were nothing but a loser in life. Oh, by the way, God died for your sins. These sins too. So thank God and this General for your right to be a pos.

Nobody is good but God. I’m praying you will find out how hard it is to kick against the pricks and change your bigoted mission, much like Saul.

Are you people seriously kidding me?
This Air Force General was making a speech at a National Day of Prayer Task Force!! A private ceremony!
Instead of complaing about his “crimes” (again, are you kidding me? CRIMES!) What you should be doing
is THANKING him, and the millions of other brave men and women (of which my son, my dad and myself are included) for giving you people the freedom to complain and act like such idiots. We paid the price for your freedom to worry about other people’s lifes.
Get over yourself and quit trying to justify your existence by making other peoples life hell!

Using the power of the federal government to silence an individual who simply is staying what he believes is a clear violation of the very amendment you claim to support, Mikey. You would silence this man’s speech, and restrict his freedom to practice purely based on the fact that he, like most service members wears his uniform as formal dress. Thank God major General Olson has the courage to stand and be counted among the Believers.

You people are a bunch of islamic fundamentalists hiding behind your so called badge, and like ISIS you should be wiped off the face of the planet.

GOD IS GREAT! EAT THAT YOU PIGS!

DAMN FOOLS!

mr. Weinstein:
Do us all a favor and shut up. That’s a right too many of your ilk fail consistently to exercise.

Looks like everyone who posted a comment is for General Olson. Soooo…this begs the question…. where are the countless members who are offended??? I am retired Air Force. I am also a believer in Christ Jesus, my Lord and Savoir. I support the general 110%!!! This country needs more men such as General Olson. Remember, this country was founded on the bases of religious freedom! You cannot change that, no matter how hard you try.

Forget the Religious side of this, let’s talk abut the Human side of it.

You aren’t fit to lick the bottom of the General’s muddy, trench encrusted boots.

Before you scaled another good American, try to quit hating yourself.

I’m surprised because by the looks of the last name of the person signing the letter he comes from one of the 12 tribes of Judah. His family must have done something to him to turn him off from his creator. Anger and rage can cause people to lash out in negative and very hateful was to others who trigger those feelings. Mikey Weinstien needs prayers

My first thought of the atheistic satan attack against a man who offered up his life on a regular basis to assure your freedom and existance was hate. You and ISIS have the same heart, differing only in indoctrination. Death to truth at any cost, that way you won’t have to avoid the lie that is reflected in your mirror. You are such a sad wounded soul. I HAVE PRAYED FOR GOD/ JESUS CHRIST THE ONE AND ONLY SON OF GOD TO OPEN YOUR EYES AND DRAW YOU TO SALVATOIN, OR… ALLOW THE SHOES THAT YOU HAVE CRAFTED FOR THE GENERAL TO BE THE ONLY ONES YOU EVER WEAR.

If the Generals credits his performance and success because of God, GREAT!!!!! Your organization has the right to its beliefs, however not the right to impose its on others. We here you but your methodology is flawed.

You people are utterly despicable.

Understand Weinstein’s feelings and rationale. Used to feel that way until I met the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves you too Michael, and even now, His Spirit is trying to reach your heart. Allow Him to come in, and you too will never be the same.

All that will live Godly in Jesus Christ shall suffer persecution.

It seems as I cut through all your crazy legal ranting, you are actually angry that this man who has devoted his life to preserving our freedoms in this country, is free to profess his faith in GOD our Heavenly Father. You say he created fodder for ISIS, giving them more power to persecute Christians, but WHAT exactly is your group doing?????? You are persecuting a Christian for his beliefs. Your group is trying to take away American Freedoms. Unless he was demanding that his troops convert to Christianity, then he did no wrong. You try to make it sound as if you are protecting Airmen from evil. May God open your eyes and your heart. Stop persecuting Christians.

This lawyer should be disbarred for stirring up such hate. He is the typical scumbag lawyer who is lower on the totem like than child molesters and drug dealers.

This is ridiculous…

Move to Syria you worthless piece of shit. You are the problem with America I hope your children suffer when your pathetic world comes crashing down.

They are pulling comments I believe so I guess they want to silence some voices on here that oppose their twisted heathen views

Hey Mickey – Jesus loves you although I am struggling after reading this craziness. You obviously hate Christ. You’re not the first. ISIS and all these extremist do too.

One day soon I hope an Air Force drone launches a Hellcat Missile “Accidentally” at whatever hole in the ground you crawl back into every night. You “Demand”?? Who gives you the right to think your entitled to “Demand” anything?!?!

You are clearly an angry person(s). I can’t imagine getting so upset as to use the type of language and phrasing you did about someone speaking about their personal experiences. I’ll help you out here and let you in on something. When someone responds as you did, it smacks of insecurity. You can quote material & try and use the breaching of articles to support your verve but everyone who does not share your opinion knows immediately it is based on insecurity. A person secure with their belief in a particular matter doesn’t feel the need for extreme expression. No, the secure person is able to dispassionately approach the matter and doesn’t come across as you did-frightened.

May God Bless you, Mikey.

Praise God for General Olsen, he spoke the Truth of the greatness of our Lord Jesus Christ. Mikey, you are either For Christ or Against Him.Irregardless of your stance, “Every knee will bow to the Lord Jesus Christ.” No matter what you try to do to Gen. Olsen, God is protecting him and elevating him. I pray for your salvation, I urge you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior before it is too late.

I am proud of this leader whom for whatever reason uses his God to serve his country. I hope at least some of you have served your country in some capacity. If you have not, your opinion is worth nothing to me or any other REAL American. It still is a good day because at the end I will be standing and you will be silenced.

I hope you rot in hell….BTW, who the f**k are you to think you speak for me

Our country faces serious issues, war, terrorism, poverty, crime, climate change etc and the fight you picked is a United States General discussing God on prayer day.

You are a coward!

God Bless that General! We need more military leaders like him. One Nation Under God! Who wants a military, void of Jesus Christ to defend our freedoms? I don’t, I served in the USAF 1975 to 1981. I would proudly serve again with this General, not for people like you though.

This is still America the General has freedom of speech freedom of religion even though our current political leaders are trying to stamp it out. Praise God for someone in his position for standing for what he believes in. We should all follow his example.

Noting your group’s hypocritical stance on freedom of speech. This one will come back to bite you

I am not a military person, however I am a man of faith. I can never relate to someone who has been in a war, I cannot possibly know what it is like to be pinned down, people around every corner trying to kill me. Even though I cannot relate, I know given tough situations, I always rely on my faith. For you to “demand” anything is rediculous. This country was founded on the Christian belief. Last I checked, it still says “In God We Trust” on our money. I can only assume you will “demand” that ne removed also. Seems you have denied God. I find it hard to believe you are so cold hearted to force this man to deny God as well. You have no power sir. I “demand” that you profess your faith in God. Wait, you don’t want to? How is that any different than the demand you make? Please take a look at you so called demands and leave well enough alone. If you don’t believe, that is your business, but keep you opinion…and that is all it really is, out of this brave soldier’s life.

God Bless USAF Major General Craig S. Olson. We need more of these God fearing men in the Military. Jesus died for us & our sins, the General is right to praise God. This USAF SAC Airman 54-58 say GOD BLESS THE USAF, In Jesus name, we fight for the right ti say His name. God Bless America

This group and all of the other groups seeking to punish people for their personal moral convictions, whether based upon an organized and recognized religion or otherwise are representative of hate groups you espouse to abhor. In reality, you are all nothing more than those who represented themselves in 1930’s – 1940’s Germans, 1990’s Balkan States, and today’s current Taliban, Al Queda, ISIS, and other related religious cleansing groups. You all should be ashamed. The U.S. was founded upon the basis of religious freedom and expression, any censuring of which violates these basic and fundamental principles. You don’t have to like what the other person says, in most cases have a choice of not listening, but to squelch anyone’s voice is criminal.

Mr. Weinstein,

You are at odds with part of your own mission statement. One paragraph of your mission statement reads:

“No member of the military may be compelled to curtail – except in the most limited of military circumstances and when it directly impacts military discipline, morale and the successful completion of a specific military goal – the free exercise of their religious practices or beliefs.”

Yet you are clearly attempting to curtail Maj. Gen. Craig Olson from freely speaking about his personal religious beliefs. As such, you are attempting to prevent him from exercising his rights under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.

I invite you to publish my e-mail with a response explaining why you feel it is appropriate to deny someone something you claim to support.

Sincerely,

John K. Mohan
Chicago, Illinois

Your letter sounds like it is right out of a communist country propaganda outlet. The general has every right to speak what he believes, you totalitarians are the ones who would prevent him from doing so. This is what is has fought for, so that we can use our Constitutional rights. We know this is what you would take from us if your were in power. Go back to your North Korean utopia, and see how long you will last.
Viva Christo!

Wait just a damn minute here. Your “group” is called Military Religious Freedom Foundation right? This speech was said on National Prayer Day right?? I guess I’m confused. I’ve read many of the other comments that were posted and I agree 100% with all of them, except for the liberal comment. You are so far to the left you can’t see what’s to the right let alone what’s right in front of you!! It’s groups like you who should be ashamed of yourselves! Court martialing this man who fought viciously for his country and his life!! You know what you can do with your “court martial letter” and stick it where the sun don’t shine!! Smfh….

I HOPE THE SOLDIER CONTINUES TO BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP GOD’S KINGDOM WORK REGARDLESS OF YOUR EFFORTS. IT IS UNSTOPPABLE!

I hope your group will come out in support of Mohammed cartoons.
Here’s a starter:

Mohammed was a slave trading, murdering, lying, child abusing pimp.

Now go and educate others about the islamic hate cult.

By bringing this extremely silly “lawsuit”, and making a big media stink you are brazenly promoting your particular brand of empty secular humanistic “religion”. No hope, no purpose, no imagination and no point! Every knee will bow and every tongue confess…

May the Lord open your eyes soon and relieve you of all your hatred and misgivings. It is only because of MEN like USAF Major General Craig S. Olson are you allowed to speak so shamefully of someone that has devoted his life to defending the great CHRISTIAN nation. Unfortunately we do end up with scum sucking bottom feeders like you and your worthless “military religious freedom foundation” getting to stay here and spot your nonsense. “Foundation?? Really?? Calling lead gold doesn’t make it valuable.

If you don’t like Major Olsen has to say, then don’t listen. You have the freedom to turn the channel and not listen to his speech. He’s speech was directed to a specific audience and if you don’t want to be part of that audience then you have the freedom to chose not to be there. This country was founded on freedom of speech and he should be allowed to speak about what he wants. He’s not trying to convert others over to his religion or impose his beliefs on others, he’s just explaining his beliefs and how they effected his life. The audience he is speaking to is already of belief so there is no converting going on there. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech plain and simple. What you are asking to be done is to oppress some’s freedom, which is the exact opposite of the title of your organization “Military Religious Freedom”. How can you call yourself that when you are doing is trying to oppress someone’s freedom to speak. I say there is nothing pertaining freedom in your organization. You are trying to force others to believe what you believe, by the way, is what you are saying the Major is doing. I say that’s the pot calling the kettle black. Why don’t you take a closer look at yourself.

I know there is a God, and you folks really need to roast in Hell.
U.S. Army 1968-75Viet Nam Vet

I’m an army LTC and I can say that God has guided my career as well. The creator of the universe loves me and guides me daily. Praise God!

Your “freedom from religion” will be duly noted on Judgement Day. My family sacrificed greatly to the cause of the USAF and this nation, when both were formidable advocates on the side of God almighty. Today I am ashamed of your freely expressed speedh and will mourn for those whose interests you claim to represent and I shall weep ffor these in my Christian, God fearing family who gave everything to protect your right to be wrong and vocal about it. GOOD LUCK TRYING TO BE VICTORIOUS AGAINST YOUR ALMIGHTY CREATOR. fools

You people are sick! I take great comfort in knowing you and your kind will spend 1,000 years in hell for your crimes against God and the human race.

Mikey, you’re such a hypocrite.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_L._Weinstein

Mikey,

You need to be stuck in the oven. You are a waste of human skin. Hope you get an inoperable pancreatic cancer tumor.

I agree with kindheart1956, you don’t speak for me or any I have come across in over 40 years of service. You are doing a dis service to our country trying to be super PC.

You don’t speak for us, you satanic joke. We you ever in the service? Guess what, if you were you were in to defend a country based on the principals of those establish by God almighty and his Son Jesus Christ. FACT! Don’t like it, then GTFO of “my” country. You married? I feel bad for your wife. You’re a coward. The General won’t be scratched by this horseshit.

how are idiots like this created i am sure they dont have to go to college for it in fact i am sure the didnt finish high school

If you dont like it here why not immigrate to syria or some other godless nation

IRS reviews 1023 and 1040 towards Military Religious Freedom.org

I am not religious, but you sound lkike the crazy Muslims that we have been fighting.

It’s idiots like you who are bringing this great country down. If you don’t like it here please feel free to go join ISIS. You will fit right in

I would donate , but money has the word God , so you would think that it would be utterly disgusted and shocked .

Mikey,

I stumbled across this article which led me to your website, and after poking around a bit I can clearly tell that something in your life has turned you against Christians and Christianity as a whole. I am very sorry for whatever happened, it was likely done irresponsibly by someone claiming to be a Christian who was not acting very much like Jesus instructed them to act. I hope you once again find the hope, joy, and love that God offers, and that the anger within you that fuels this website’s goal (i.e. freedom from Christianity disguised as freedom from religion) is quelled.

As a side note, I’ve worked indirectly with MG Olsen for a few years now, he is a human being just like you and I, has never directly proselytized in any meeting, and does not deserve this type of attention (the same as I wouldn’t wish it on you).

Ben

I don’t know what country Mr. Weinstein and his followers are from but hopefully they will take you all back and the sooner the better. Thank you General Olson for your service to America.

Maybe you can find a home at the Westboro Baptist Church. Or are you already part of ISIS? Or CAIR. Without Christianity we would have list many of the wars we won. Schwartzkoft very publicly professed his faith during Desert Storm and we routed the Iraqis in a hundred hours.

Speaking as an atheist, you guys are a bigger whack job than the General. Religious freedom is exactly that, Freedom. Your hypocritical group is the antithesis of freedom. Your so sad and hateful.

This .org is a Charlatan working the system. IRS needs to watch him closely towards his exempt status.

Mr. Weinstein, the fact that you watched the National Day of Prayer Breakfast just to find someone to hate and cause trouble for, is sad and pathetic. If you are so desperate to hate someone why not choose the enemies of this country like ISIS. Oh, I forgot you are an enemy of this country. You need to move to some anti-Christian country like Iran, North Korea, or Russia where you will be hated for being who you are. Then maybe you will learn the meaning of the words Freedom, and liberty; and maybe you will begin to appreciate this country which allows you to hate anyone and everyone you want. Why are all athiests such angry, miserable people. It is very sad. You may not want to believe in GOD but GOD believes in you, and He still loves you.

It is really amazing that you spend so much of life’s energy denying our loving but all powerful God Who wants all men to be saved. Even someone as hateful as you Mike. Think about that Michael. God loves His enemies and finds no enjoyment in punishment, like you seemingly do. You appear to revel in the prospect of ruining this man. But it is you Mike who will eventually be “brought to justice for his unforgivable crimes and transgressions” just like you demand for Major General Olsen. The Bible describes people just like you Mike in the last age. You are called an enemy of God. Whether you believe or not, God exists and you will be judged. So bless you Mike and may the Lord open your heart to the truth. The Apostle Paul said of our Lord Jesus: For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Wake up Mike and get the evil attitude out of your life. Romans 13:4 May God bless and forgive you your transgressions.

The profound professionalism of this letter is truly astounding. The eloquence of phases turned, such as “and tell me that you’re just not sick to damn death seeing” and “the national security implications of HIS statement, at least, are literally DWARFED by the same national security risk analysis given Major General Olson’s screed of fundamentalist Christian triumphalism” are breathtaking. I can only conclude, given that Mikey implies he has a legal degree (note the “Esg” at the end of his signature line) that is was from a correspondence school, if he has one at all.

Mikey, hint, it reads freedom of religion, not from religion

You are highly mistaken. Major General Olsen is not a disgrace. Rather yourself and those who are members of your organization are the disgrace. Only an idiot would object to someone speaking of his faith on the National Day of Prayer and a Christian event. Hello! Are you stupid? Some other tidbits of information that you may want to chew on are these:

1. This country was founded on CHRISTIANITY!
2. Major General Olsen hasn’t been around long enough to have ‘founded’ Christianity and he is not a government establishing that religion!
3. The same amendment that you are quoting in trying to gain your superiority over the rights of others is the same amendment that gives Major General Olsen the right to exercise his faith!
4. Christians are getting a little bit tired of being told that we can’t practice our faith because of haters and ‘politically correct’ people trying to control us.

Back off!

Revelation 21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her bridegroom. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be among them. And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” And he said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, I will give to the one who thirsts, from the spring of the water of life without cost. He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be my people. But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire, which is the second death.” I hope that you have a change of heart. There is no reason to fear a lake of fire. God doesn’t want people who fear Him, but those who love him and other people just as He does. He wants all to come to the true knowledge of who He is. Wouldn’t you prefer to believe, and be saved from sin and death? This isn’t just about recognizing Christianity as a viable religion. Christianity has been alive and well for eons. You are persecuting all Christians for their belief, in your scathing letter to One man. This is against the law. If you want freedom, then understand that freedom belongs to all men. Not just you.

Amazing! Do you think you have opened a can of worms by making a stand against this General?

Not that I suspect to ever get a reply but what he done is commendable not to be condemned.

So what you hate God, So what you hate Jesus. But tell me on what grounds do you have to hate either one?

That you have to take it out on other who exercise their right for Freedom of Religion.

In that room that he was talking too I highly doubt there was anyone their against their will. And since I watched his speech I’m 100% certain he was speaking to a body of believers not you. So it never applied to you in the first place why would you care?

So good luck with your mascaraed he will have more support than you will ever get.

You Limp DiCk Pussies All Suck fags

Wow, what a liberal progressive communist bag of crap you threw at that honorable USAF general.
Seriously, you have no concept of the history, constitutional rights and freedoms of speech to compose such a horrid rebuttal to a person who believe in all his heart that our rights are God given, not government, and the sacrifices to fight for such in his career to protect the freedom MOST citizens value.
Your scum to attack such a great person. Take your values to some other progressive liberal communist country and trying living your dream there, so one day maybe you can understand the values that are the true foundation of this Republic.
God Bless that General.

REALLY????
Since when is wrong to speak about your own beliefs? I commend this General for speaking about his own beliefs. If you folks don’t like or believes the way that he does so what, grow up. He’s not asking you believe in what he does and he’s not forcing anything on you. You have a right to your religious beliefs or non beliefs and so does this General. You sir are acting like a child demanding that a person be charged with a crime for speaking about their own beliefs on god, who are you that you think that you can tell someone else how to believe,think, and feel on the subject of religion. Grow up!!!!!!

Mikey “wiener”-stien, you are a coward! You are a truly pathetic excuse of a man.

You are one unAmerican person. Because this man is in the military and distinguished himself by serving his country to protect your’s and mine freedoms does not mean he is not allowed to worship, it means he is allowed to worship his faith. I just don’t see what you have a problem with, we are all allowed to have our personal beliefs and each person, in the military or not, is free to choose.
You are one of the problems in the world, not part of any solution.

Mikey, I’ll be praying for you. I’ll pray that the bitterness that so obviously drives this letter subsides, and that the love of God takes up residence in your heart. This man, exercising his freedom, did no harm to you. The tone of your letter, and its bluster, make you sound like a weak schollyard bully. If mere words can generate such anger, you are a fragile boy. I’ll pray you become a man of strength.

So Civil Liberties only apply to those who do not believe in God? This general and every other American in the military or outside the military has the RIGHT to speak of their faith, he did NOT demand anyone convert or try to push anyone to believing in God. Grow up! Your total fear of even hearing about God is quite ridiculous!

Have you forgotten that part of the First Amendment that says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF?” This gentleman has every right to express his beliefs.

I am not a religious person myself but you f-ing pieces of crap can go to a place you don’t believe in; Hell. This air force general is a good man who has to provide his services within a military over-run by Obama’s anti-God policies. You and all the other radical atheists out there can go F yourselves. Your actions are enough to make me a religious man but I am too profane to be a good one like this General obviously is. So take your petition. roll it up, and stick it as far up your asses as you can.

And you wanna know what’s wrong with our country? Wow

I am personally sick of others shoving their atheistic worldview down my throat and removing the freedom of speech. As a former Navy corpsman, I was blessed to serve One Nation Under God. I was blessed to serve a country whose currency says, “In God We Trust.” I was blessed to serve along with other men and women of faith who prayed for our protection and prayed for family members back home. I was encouraged that they felt our prayers and were strengthened by them. I found that there are no atheists in a foxhole. And that in moments of duress, prayer provides hope and encouragement. In the final moments of life, people find comfort in the message of Salvation through Jesus Christ. But, you idiots choose to silence those who would provide hope. Shame on you. You would have hated George Washington, our first commander and chief. You would have hated Abraham Lincoln, and fought like hell to silence his faith. We need more men and women of faith in the military.

Mr.Weinstein obviously has NO Combat experience. Maybe he needs to get shot at to convince him that there is a God and He would NOT be here with him.! Purely an IDIOT!!!. He would be wise to HIDE!. He’s caused trouble before and has done this at TAXPAYER expense.

I am an Air force veteran and I applaud General Olson’s remarks. He has a RIGHT to express his feelings and beliefs. The ACLU has their opinions and rights too but what they are suggesting is asinine, I’ll conceived and out of line. Mickey Weinstein who is probably of Jewish ancestory needs to review history and understand the results when one’s faith is admonished by those who think they know better.

Make sure you get this through your little pinheads. YOU WILL NOT CONTINUE TO HARRAS THAT OFFICER FOR HIS RELIGIOUS STANCE! I for one will not tolerate assholes like your group in this same plane of life! I support the rights of every service man or woman to express their Christian beliefs in the service. I do support the extreme termination of those like you with extreme bias. Close down your fucking group and keep your fucking mouths shut from here on out with regard to the rights of our service people to express their Christian beliefs. You do not speak for any American service person.

I meant “didn’t violate”. You are still a dumba$$

Mikey–
You are an idiot and I am embarrassed that we are both called “Americans”. You are hateful to the core. Not sure how you wake up and look at yourself in the morning with a clear conscience. I sure hope you don’t have children — to brainwash with your small minded, hateful rhetoric. Shame on you and everyone who agrees with you.

If you don’t like religious freedom then leave this nation! You are a bigoted organization that won’t hesitate to jump on a Christian for expressing his or her religious freedoms. You are hypocrites who would trample our religious freedoms underfoot in the name of religious freedom. You can’t be more hypocritical than that! I bet you would not say a word if a Muslim or Hindu expressed his or her views on national television.Your goal is to silence Christian believers and you are clueless about the founding principles that made this nation great. The United States of America would not have existed were it not for Christianity. Research it yourself and you will see that our great educational system, many of the technological advances this nation has enjoyed, are largely because of Jesus Christ at work in the hearts and minds of people who acknowledged him as the creator of the universe. ISIS is not a Christian group, they are jihadist Islam. Yet you would prosecute Christians and demand them to step down from leadership because they dare say the name of Jesus! How foolish and blind you are! How deceived! Get out! May Christians everywhere unite in prayer and see the hand of God shut your organization down!

Dear Michael L. Weinstein, Esq.

The irrational fear and hatred you hold for those who practice the Christian faith are blatantly made known through the choice of insulting words you associated with the Christian, Craig Olson: disgusted and shocked, brutal disgrace, scathingly sectarian, shame spectacle, and sick to damn death to list a spare few. I watched the YouTube video that you provided with the link and don’t understand how you can find anything sickening with its contents unless you have Christianophobia.

Craig Olson is a Christian who was addressing fellow Christians at a Christian event. He was by no means proselytizing and even if he was, Olson, as a citizen, is protected under the First Amendment to do so. It is not brazenly illicit to share your faith or an exchange of ideals with another in this country, even for a serviceman standing in front of millions of viewers. Olson’s speech was not sectarian, shameful or in the spirit of supremacy. He encouraged all to pray for God to grant wisdom and success to every member of the military. He asked everyone to pray for those who are deployed and their families, regardless of their creed. There is no more shame or superiority in this than there is in receiving a card from your coworkers who only wish you well.

Your objection to Olson’ sharing his testimony is synonymous with censorship. People have heightened, deeply spiritual and otherworldly experiences. To ban such people from sharing their experiences simply because they wear a uniform, is revoking their rights as an American citizen and, in a sense, enslaving them. To demand servicemen and women when dawning their uniforms to give up their rights as American citizens, self-censor and ignore their religion is essentially asking them to deny their very identities, blot out their personalities and become mindless slaves of the institution they willingly joined.

Comparing Olson’s personal experiences and prayers to some random Major General’s racist remarks shows how bias and illogical your conclusions are when it comes to Christians. Your poorly constructed equivalency makes it clear that you think it is wrong and even illicit for any servicemen to talk about their faith. Your hatred for Christians is apparent in your desire to oppress and gag them.

The argument that Olson’s speech was a national security risk is ridiculous. He said nothing that would ignite the fury of Islamists and cause them to attack our deployed servicemen and women. Olson’s speech wasn’t political—it was personal. Everyone is entitled to share their personal journeys, spiritual or not, serviceman or not.

“Olson’s screed of fundamentalist Christian triumphalism.”—you make it sound as though Olson got up on the stage and cried out, “Jesus, is the greatest of all gods! He is the only God that ever existed. Christians are so much better than the heathens. All heathens will be their slaves and then go to hell!”. Now, that would have been sickening and disgraceful. Olson would have certainly gotten fired for saying all of that, especially in his uniform. But he didn’t, and probably couldn’t even fathom saying any of that. Instead, Olson peacefully and sincerely spoke about his walk with God and he prayed for the well-being of everyone, including unbelievers. You are slandering Olson by essentially putting words in his mouth and saying he is doing something that he is clearly not.

I suggest you learn to tolerate people who hold other worldviews that are different from your own. The only supremacist I found in this article was you.

Sincerely,
Aislinn Boyter

I just read your mission statement. You contradict yourself. Obviously you never read it!

Let’s ask Mikey for a full review of their financial documents. Who funds this crap? Obviously not majority veterans. Hey Mike, post your “non-profit’s” financial report. Let’s see who your funders are. Unless you have no balls.

During how many speeches has President Obama (The Commander in Chief of the US Military) invoked God? Should he then be impeached for his statements? He is a representative of government after all. Or perhaps he could just pardon everyone who contributes to the DNC, and hang the rest. Your so called “Military Religious Freedom Foundation” is overflowing with hypocrites, does not represent the people or the military, and you should be ashamed of your very existence.

I have a difficult time believing this is tolerated by educated and intelligent people. We are Americans should be able to accept the right of individuals to speak their beliefs. Imagine trying that with your beloved ISIS friends or others of your ilk that do not agree with your beliefs, or lack of them.

I fight for God and Country!!!

MRF…Your a bunch of pucks!

I am thankful to Jesus Christ for real men who will state their allegiance to Him first, then to their country, family, etc. Our country needs millions of Christian patriots who will unashamedly do what this General has done. Darkness will flee from the Light, whether it be ISIS, atheists, or Communists. They all hate the name of Jesus and what He stands for….peace, love, patience, honesty, forgiveness, and Victory in His name. May Gen. Olsons actions be vindicated.

You guys are fucking idiots!!! and should learn to STFU!!!

Please show me a list of countless members of the Air Force. Oh wait, you don’t have one. I’m a member of the Air Force and I also believe in the Constitution and Free Speech. I also believe in God. You should try believing in God yourself.

Freedom of religion means just that. He did not force religion on anyone. Freedom of speech applies to all Americans. Stop the attack on Christians.

Source following my comment:Wikipedia

Weinstein is using this front organization for two things: First of all money in his pocket. Secondly, the destruction of Chrisianity. This is typical behavior and normal business practice for Christian hating Jews. Typical weakling sissy coward. He’s using the same tactics as Nazi propagandists used against 6 million innocent Jewish people.
I have equal contempt for Israel hating Jews. Their hateful rhetoric is identical. They are just haters. I’m not Christian but I am not offended by anyone expressing their religious beliefs, in private or in public. Why would anyone care?
I believe Weinstein is all about getting rich and hate is the product he’s selling.
Wiki:
Weinstein has been accused of “waging a war on Christianity” by some critics. He describes his enemy as “gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates,”[32] and claims that the vast majority of their victims–his clients–are practicing Catholics and mainline Protestants.[33] Weinstein has clashed frequently with religious figures such as James Dobson and Ted Haggard, whom Weinstein challenged to a fistfight after an e-mail exchange between the two was leaked.[34] Even some of Weinstein’s allies have acknowledged that he can be “over the top” and “hell-raising”, though some defend his behavior as being what is needed.[35]

Weinstein has come under criticism for his larger than average (for a non-profit) salary and his practice of voting on his own compensation (he is one of the voting members of MRFF’s 3 member board).[36][37] Supporters have noted this criticism comes from the same media source [38] which had named Weinstein one of the 100 Most Influential People in U.S. Defense in December 2012[31] and that the study upon which this criticism was based noted that “If you come across a charity whose CEO pay is higher than other similar charities, don’t immediately dismiss that charity’s request for funding. You’re better off supporting a charity that is fiscally efficient, accountable and transparent, achieving its programmatic goals and paying its CEO well, than a charity that has substandard fiscal health, fails to live up to its mission, but under-pays its CEO.”[39] A compensation policy for charity CEOs that has been expressed by other reputable sources.[40]

The group Jews in Green, a Jewish military support group, has challenged some of his claims, such as an entrenched anti-Semitism in the military, calling them baseless.[41]

The only “shocking” or “disgusting” behavior or speech is the over the top histrionics by the writer of this letter. Calling the general’s speech a “brutal assault” leaves us with two questions. Is Mr. Weinstein having a psychotic break or is he merely a an abominable liar?

very good for Mr Olson. I congratulate him for not being afraid to speak openly about being a Christian. You guys need to lay off him. He is putting his life at risk and you guys just want to attack him! Shame on you!

I support Gen Olson to the nth degree. He has the right and freedom to say what he wants to say. Has the right and freedom to share his beliefs in any way he chooses. As a retired military member, I’m sure I speak on behalf of countless military members who agree with Gen Olson. You, Mr Weinstein, need to stop thinking that you are the only one who gets to share your beliefs with the world.

This is the most un-constitutional position I have heard yet! If you have not been in a life or death situation imposed on you as a member of the United States military, you have no right to attempt to censure, ridicule or persecute those who have. Military personnel do have the Constitution, the UCMJ and the Declaration of Independence to live by and protect them. This abhorrent and gross lack of understanding of the Constitution should be rectified by sending all of the God-hating, God-denying liberal, weak-minded low life scum to a sand pit in the Middle East. I would like to know just how long, while under fire you will last without pleading with the God Almighty for your life! Just who do you ‘think’ you represent? Not me or any of the other US veterans I know, would lift a pencil, yet a lone a rifle to save you sorry excuse for life.
,

Did you drink a full cup of stupid this morning? I don’t see as what one person says or believes is any of your business. You act as tho it’s a personal affront for him saying what he believes and feels. Did it require you to do anything?

if your going to quote regs, please get it right dumb-ass:

AF 1-1, 2-11 states: For example, they must avoid the actual or apparent use of their position to promote their personal religious beliefs to their subordinates or to extend preferential treatment for any religion.

2.12. Free Exercise of Religion and Religious Accommodation. Supporting the right of free exercise of religion relates directly to the Air Force core values and the ability to maintain an effective team.

if your going to try and convict anyone of anything, you should know what your talking about.

first and foremost, you and anyone that supports you should have their collective butts kicked for being so stupid and down right ignorant.

you are the worst example of a former military member……you have shamed and disgraced any member of your family that has or will serve.

take it for what it’s worth….ignorant, stupid, retarded….are just a few of the words that I could use to describe your worthless ass……

Religious freedom… except for Christians. Ya know, if this crap was going on when I was in I would beat the living day lights out of you. This is NOT what I went to war for.

If you don’t like American liberty- including religious liberty- then get the hell out of my country. Actually, why don’t you take your intolerant, pansy-ass, over to ISIS.

I have no faith I consider myself agnostic but I fully support Major General Olson and his right of free speech. Even though I’m not a believer I realize this country was founded on God fearing Christian men who would never have denied anyone, military or not,the right to speak freely and openly about his faith. There is no such thing a separation of church and state. Our founder simply did not want the Federal Government to endorse any denomination over another. So called atheists who would deny freedom of religious expression are not true atheists but are in fact God haters. A true atheist would no more be offended by religion than I am by the Easter bunny.

Weinstien:

One day everyone will kneel and profess Jesus Christ is Lord. Tell the Lord what you wrote and I dare you to defy Lord while the pit of hell opens for you and you Satan servers.
Not to late to come for salvation and receive Jesus.

Mikey:
You are a sick, sad and pathetic man.

Hello Weinstein, you snotty and disrespectful little rodent! You are just exactly the smarmy, hateful, self-important and despicable little piece of excrement masquerading as a real atheist, that I utterly despise! Words cannot adequately convey how much utter loathing I have for wretched gutter trash such as yourself. I am an atheist myself & have been since my teens (40s now), that is to say, as a personal matter, I do not personally believe in any dieties of any sort. However, there is a long list of things I do not believe in, none of which frighten me enough, as the possibility of the Judeo-Christian God existing obviously does you, that I feel “terror-bound” to go around trying to stifle other people’s beliefs.

This fine officer has done NOTHING to harm you, or any other atheist on earth! And you are an intolerant sack of dog mess for pretending that he has! These alleged so-called “violations” that you pretend your atheist granny panties are in such a twist over, are either being misinterpreted by you deliberately, or are DIRECTLY unconstitutional, under the 1st Amendment, every part of which I wholeheartedly support, btw. I also support the 2nd, as a direct backstop for the 1st,btw…in case would be tyrants like you, EVER get the upper hand! Think about that awhile! That is PRECISELY what the 2nd Amendment is for, for the necessary periodic watering of the Tree of Liberty, with the blood of tyrants! If, as people like me are hastening with your vile, arrogant and hate-filled actions, the day ever comes when we the people need to rise up with our guns and restore our indispensable liberty, I will be happy to join with this patriot, Major General Olson to help water that Tree of Liberty. And, regardless of whatever limited extent you might consider yourself Jewish (fake Jewish, to be sure), I can assure you that the majority of American Jews will rise up against you and your reprobate side, right along with us! You will have no friends, and no place to hide! Your numbers are FEW! And our numbers are MANY! Just as there is a far too quiet fervently believing religious small “m” “moral majority”, in this country, there is ALSO a far too quiet, “secular rightwing”. A leaderless mass of 1st Amendment (et al) supporting, but personally non-religious, small letter “a” atheists, who are perfectly comfortable around religious people, and who are shocked, disgusted and highly embarrassed (as I certainly am today), by the despicable high handed shenanigans of the the hate-filled Leftwing (capitalised “A”) Atheists, who loudly & shrilly & FALSELY claim to represent the far larger number of us who silently go about our lives. We are slowly starting to gain our rightful presence on the web, there are “secular right” organizations, blogs & websites springing up all over. But that’s another subject.

So, basically you, Weinstein, are a loudmouthed bully, and an arrogant, puffed up sack of nothing except your own wet farts and hatreds! You represent no one and nothing except your own intolerant hatreds and wholly manufactured grievances! You were in NO way offended by this great man. You were ONLY offended by the fact that publicly someone expressed a belief that was different from yours, you hateful and free-speech opposing little bastard! You make me SICK! As you would do ANYONE who has ANY sense of personal decency, self respect or respect for others…let alone respect for this “once great” nation (before trash like YOU ruined it), and it’s awesome founding principles!

Lord, I am on a rant! Lol. And I know it. I’m far too tired to be writing this, and am usually far more eloquence, meaning I usually use the rapier, rather than the meat cleaver I realise I have used here. But I just couldn’t let this pass! I read about this Weinstein jerk on Foxnews.com, and got so steamed over what he was trying to get away with, and on the already “self tattered” name of atheists, to boot,and so I had to come over here and give him hell.

I see, from the comments here, that a lot of fine religious folks are already over here giving this rat the dickens, and doing it far more tolerantly than I have been. More power to you. But don’t be afraid to let loose on him, he deserves it…FULLY! And I want to take this opportunity to apologize to ALL of you, all religious believers, of any affiliations, for this evil persons actions. He represents only himself and a few others like him, who I FIRMLY believe, and have the personal experience to back this up, is the way he is, not only because he is a whining, control freak, and an attention hungry jerk, but at his heart, shriveled up blackened thing that it is, and though he would probably rather peel his own eyeballs with corkscrew than admit it, he secretly fears the fires of hell. He and all his kind do. I know, because among other things, they also would profess to not believe in Santa Claus. But, however vastly more prevalent “Santa” imagery is around Christmas time, than Christ images or Nativity scenes; guess which one gets his granny panties in a grinding twist? Not dear old Santa. Do you know why? Because he knows, in EVERY secret place in his shriveled up heart, that there is no Santa. He knows it for SURE! Weinstein & his other cretinous little hater pals, have mathematically zero fear of getting coal in their stockings for Christmas, or Hanukkah or whatever. But not so much the God of the Bible. He may “logically” know there is no God, but Weinstein does not emotionally know it…not at all. And, being a control freak, especially about his own destiny, and also being an insensitive hate-filled slimeball, who would rather take on a whole world of religious believers, rather than to face the emptiness, unanswerable fears and a lifetime of tangled evils in his own heart; he just can’t admit that. And he probably never will.

I, on the other hand, as I was exiting religion over a period of many years from my mid-teens to early 20s, and with NO ONE to guide or reassure me, deliberately faced my fears fully every day, while at the same time deliberately determining to NEVER become an anti-religion hater. That was double tough, let me tell you! But I can honestly say that I never once batted an eye. And I never shall. I never once hated Jews or Christians, and I never shall. Them believing, doesn’t shake or damage my non-belief one iota. Apparently, it not only “shakes”, but profoundly disturbs, in an obviously life altering way, this sad little rodent named Weinstein. I say to you, keep it up! Give him not a moment of peace! Give him as little peace and freedom as he means to leave you with if he were to have his way! If he refuses to acknowledge his, to me quite obvious, belief in the God of the Torah that he has ignored, then he should receive no more peace until he does acknowledge his deeply rooted belief! Intellectual and emotional dishonesty should be rooted up and displayed in every instance it is found!

And, one more thing, if I could personally be of any help in this or some other case, in which an intolerant self-professed “atheist” is in effect, loudly proclaiming his secret religious belief, by publicly trying to cause legal trouble for believers. If I could help, preferably with some sort of legal affidavit of sorts, that might be usable in court to show a definite division in the ranks of atheists…if this could somehow help. Please let me know. I don’t know too much about lawsuits, having never been in one, and while, yeah, since I have a day job, I would rather help remotely if possible through an affidavit or whatever it’s called, rather than appearing in person; I would certainly consider it, if it would set the embarrassing & despicable Weinsteins back a bit. Well, that’s all. I hope this is not too long to post. Weinstein will probably delete it at light speed anyway. Up yours Weinstein! You don’t speak for me, or really very many people, just the few other haters like yourself that you pretty much already know. Take a look at the ratio of opposition to support you are getting on your own damn site! You will NEVER be in the majority, and your influence is on the wane.

You should be ashamed of your selves for disgracing what the American Constitution stands for with your freedom from religion rhetoric. You peices of shit shouldn’t even be allowed to call your selves U.S. citizens let alon members of the American military. The real men and women of the U.S. Military fight for God and Country. Your nothing but scumbags who stand for the pitiful rights of few so many can suffer because you find something offensive. Go fuck your selves.

Thank you for your service “Active Duty Airman”. I 100% agree with you. I don’t think that the rodent Weinstein will win, I certainly hope he doesn’t. Btw, previous to your very thoughtful comment, I have a fairly hot-headed (and long) one against Weinstein, which is still awaiting “moderation”. Since it is a comment that directly contradicts Weinsteins attempt at controlling the narrative, and is only slightly more florid than his own diatribe against General Olson, I kinda doubt my comment will get posted. But know this, there ARE Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech loving atheists out there. And we don’t have ONE bit of a problem with anything any Christian or Jewish or other believer could EVER say. Weinstein speaks for himself and few others. And he and his kind could NEVER have built, nor could they rebuild, this once great nation they are trying so hard to tear down. You and your kind did…and can! Never forget that. If this nation, with its ideological division, becomes a broken warlord state, due to the depredations of the Left, we the people will need folks like you and General Olson to rebuild it, and to find, put on trial and put theput the people who tore it down from the inside, to the sword. I hope it never has to happen, I hope they can be stopped by the Right in time. But with each unthinkable outrage that they deliberately perpetrate, the bright red lines get closer. Again, thank you for your service, keep your chin up in defiance, and your powder dry in preparation. Molon labe.

Here’s the gist of this whole thing. You only have to admit, Mr Weinstein, that you are a sinner. We all are. God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem man for his sins. Open your heart and mind, sir, and let those who are believers bring you home to Jesus. I’ll be praying for you.

Mikey, do the entire country a favor, especially the military. Please spend the money you are bilking from your ignorant, traitorous contributors and lining your pockets with on euthanasia. You worthless DICK!

You’re an idiot. Free speech and freedom of religion are guaranteed in the constitution. Your website is http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.com, what a crock. Where’s the freedom?

This letter requesting a GCM over the Major General’s speech at the National Day of Prayer event is outrageous. I am a retired military officer and I swore to protect and defend the Constitution…just like you did Mikey when you were in the USAF. So now you want to squash this man’s Constitutional right to even discuss his religion….you are a danger to the very Document you say you are defending. Sickening…

Folks, I have just now skimmed every single comment that has been made to date, all 199 of them, and mine will make 200 unless someone posts before I do. Every SINGLE one is in DIRECT opposition to Weinstein! There are NO exceptions, not a SINGLE Leftwing Atheist has come on here, to supposedly friendly territory for them, to defend him & his hateful screed against General Olson. However, I saw at least a dozen or so atheists, including myself, strongly opposing him.

And yes, I agree with those who say his so-called organization should be investigated. I think it’s largely just to create himself a job. Apparently, even the “hater” atheists, the ones I call “missionary atheists”, the ones out to undermine & destroy the native western culture here, and replace it with a forced belief in Almighty Nothing, can’t even bring themselves to be bothered to come on here and comment. Apparently, Weinstein is just as much of an embarrassment to, even the America and religion hating Atheists, as he is for the religious liberty defending atheists that are bravely posting here.

Btw, if you are an atheist and find what Weinstein is trying to do here disgusting, as I do, please speak up now! Let your voice be heard! Don’t let this self-serving, turd weasel speak for you! The ONLY way that religious believers will understand that atheists are not all just “one thing” one type of people…a bunch of intolerant haters like Weinstein, is if we begin to speak up forcefully in defense of religious liberty! If we DON’T speak up, especially at times like this, then can we TRULY blame religious people for thinking we are as closed minded and controlling as the Weinsteins of the world? Can we blame the courts for ruling the wrong way & restricting religious liberty, in complete violation of the US Constitution, if we don’t demonstrate daily in our comments on sites that while we may not personally believe in a diety, we certainly support those who do, and their uninfringeable right to speak about it ANYWHERE and in ANY forum that they wish to! So, please speak up, let your voices be heard on this site, all you who consider yourselves atheists, and who fully support, as I and others do here, the uninfringeable Rights of both Speech and Religion! Let Weinstein know it loud and clear. Perhaps, in time, he will see the error of his ways and will join us.

Your site a crock as is your demand to court marshal the General. He has the fundamental right to his beliefs and to voice his beliefs. You are so ignorant and shortsighted. May God be with you and guide you to the righteous path. ;)

I am a US NAVY ACTIVE DUTY SAILOR….you are an idiot! You should be banned and shipped off to hang out with your fellow ISIS members!! You are a disgrace to human beings. He did NOT push Christian faith onto anyone…The NATIONAL Day of Prayer! You make me sick… for you to take this speech out of context and to turn it into some bullshit. YOU are the problem and give EVERY athiest, non-believer in GOD a BAD name. You are just as bad as half the idiots out there…what’s next…WILL YOU RUN FOR PRESIDENT!

Using Nazi tactics of threats, intimidation, and demands for prosecution under the Code of Military Justice to silence Christians in the military or anywhere else demonstrates the totalitarian ideology of your organization. If you can’t stand to hear someone express their Constitutional free speech rights (which this general, and everyone else in the military swore to uphold) then LEAVE the U.S. Perhaps you would be happier In some atheist utopia like North Korea.

This demand letter is sent to you on behalf of countless citizens of the United States who are utterly disgusted and shocked by the brazenly illicit and wholly unconstitutional and fundamentalist communist proselytizing recently perpetrated on international television and streaming all over the Internet by your group trying to impose your errant ideology on USAF Major General Craig S. Olson in reaction to a public speech before a Christian organization (The “National Day of Prayer Task Force”: NDPTF) headed up by Focus on the Family founder, Dr. James Dobson’s, and wife Shirley Dobson. “

You should be ashamed of yourselves for your terrible letter !!!! This man has every right to tell people at a prayer meeting how JESUS is his way of life….I am going to pray for you and ask the LORD to forgive you people for you know not what you are doing

Mr. Weinstein,

First of all, I will provide you the courtesy of calling you “Mr. Weinstein”. I found it very offensive that you felt it appropriate to call Gen Welsh “Mark” during the unprofessional diatribe you call a letter.

Clearly you need to rename your organization. Your organization has nothing to do with religious “freedom”. What you seek is freedom FROM religion….specifically you seek freedom from Christianity. You and people like you seemingly have no problem with any other religion affiliation….its only the Christians. Please do not embarrass yourself further by pretending you seek freedom OF religion for those of us who are military. You seek only to destroy the very religion freedom your organization’s name claims to desire to protect.

Not a single time in my 27 year career as an Air Force Officer have I ever had the privilege of meeting a single one of the “countless” members to which you refer. But for some reason, you feel entitled to embellish for your own selfish reasons.

I don’t know why, but your heart is filled with a deep hatred of Christians and Christianity….its as though at some point in your life a Church or a Christian wronged you. I’m sorry if that happened. But here is what I KNOW to be true: Whether it be in this life or the next, there will come a time when you will realize how wrong you are with respect to your views about Christ. For your sake, I hope it occurs before you are face to face with the Almighty God.

I laughed my head off noting that you quote yourself at the top of your site as if you mean anything to anyone. According to your ‘wiki’ page, you started to hate Christians when your son accused a fellow student of anti-semetic talk. How true that claim is no one will ever know, but with a name like Weinstein, you don’t sound as if you’re a semite, but white. I actually have a semetic Jewish friend whose family can be traced from the Palestinion region from forever and he says the imported European Jews treat his kind like dirt.
You apparently don’t understand what proselytizing is because mentioning God in at a National Day of Prayer gathering is not proselytizing. Please find a dictionary.
You are no better than the disgusting Westboro Baptist Church people and I pray to God you either come to your senses or leave the United States for your beloved Israel soon.

May God Bless America and this General who’s speech was not only elequent but strong and full of confidence. 83% of America are Christians. The backbone of this used to be great country. Obama dems/libs want tear it down, pull God out of everything. Try and shame Christians is just never going to make us go away. Someday they to will kneel in front of God and answer for this ridiculousnesss. God Bless America and all of us 83% of America Christians. Keep standing strong. The view from my high horse is beautiful.

God Bless America and God Bless General Craig S. Olson!!

I support Craig S. Olsen 100%. I am thankful that there are men like him in leadership positions.

how dare the military religious freedom foundation violate general olsen’s right to express his faith freely as defined by the first amendment! how do we americans arrange to sue you for trying to violate his constitutional rights

Never in his speech did he say that the key to career progression is the Christian faith. He only stated that he credits his progression to favor from his God. You sir are looking for something to complain about and get you in the news. Someone must be looking for donations…

Runs a NON-PROFIT and pays HIMSELF $273,355!!

According to an Air Force Times examination of MRFF tax filings, what Weinstein pays himself for running MRFF is well more than the typical top salaries at most nonprofits, military-related or otherwise.

In 2012, Weinstein received total compensation worth $273,355 — about 47 percent of all money MRFF raised through contributions and grants that year, according to IRS filings accessed on the nonprofit transparency website GuideStar.

The America that the General defends, applauds him for his conviction. You may not agree with his religion, I do, but you have to give it to him for his conviction.

Anti-American bastards.

Seriously? This putz doesn’t have anything better to do? As father to a combat Marine who saw continuous action as a rifleman in Afghanistan, it was my belief in Christ that made the weeks and months without any contact from my son bearable. Why are people who don’t believe in Christ so afraid of His mention? What a coward, hiding behind the very protection that his targets have fought and died to provide.

What a malicious minded, pathetic person you are.

Proselytizing? REALLY?? A man who gives thanks to our lord at a National Prayer Event, is not proselytizing. He’s in a room full of like minded individuals. But weak narrow minded people like yourself treat him as though he has committed some kind of heinous crime against humanity.

Who the hell do you think you are anyway? The name Jesus is an offensive name to you? I’ll tell you what’s really offensive….people like you who shove Darwinism down everyones throats and teach it in our schools as though it were a well known fact, and then reprimanding students for simply saying “Bless you” when someone sneezes.

For someone who claims to love and respect the American flag, your actions seem pretty un-American as well as un-constitutional. The Constitution makes it very clear that we ALL have the freedom of religion, which includes the freedom of Atheism, but nowhere in the Constitution does it even remotely suggest that we are permitted to bend the rules to appease those who don’t like what’s in it.

This country was founded on Judeo-Christian values. The Constitution was written with God in mind. It even acknowledges God. You know that. Your very freedom was fought and won on the battlefield by fighters who were predominantly Christian who loved both God AND country, which you also know, but you and everyone like you in America today who work tirelessly behind the scenes to strip God from our schools, military, and collective consciousness, don’t deserve to reap the benefits of their sacrifices. If our forefathers were alive today, your treasonous self serving asses would probably be executed for your blatant attack against God and freedom.

Hey Michael, you are 1 sick, distorted man. It is amazing how people like you actually believe their own hype over history and the law. You have no case except to scream loud. I find it even MORE amazing that you are wasting so much time fighting against a God you don’t even believe exists! You’d be best taking on Santa Claus.

This is so absurd! What about religious freedom? What about freedom of speech- as in the First Amendment? General Olsen was speaking as an American citizen and individual. Reasonable minded people understand that he is not speaking for the U. S. military –that just happens to be his “job”. We know that there are many in the military who are not Christians, but many more who are. They ALL have the right to speak at an event. If my memory doesn’t fail me, seems like I recall a U.S. military officer who was a Muslim psychiatrist who slaughtered quite a few American military personnel. I have a hard time trying to figure out HOW he was able to infiltrate our military! According to Mikey Weinstein, I guess General George Washington should have been muzzled just like General Olsen. This is so evil and despicable. Please ignore Mr. Weinstein.

The hatred that Mr Weinstein has towards Christians is palpable.
Calling us a threat to national security is laughable.
If every Christian left our armed forces you wouldn’t have many people left to defend this country. Perhaps that is what Christians should do.
You’re language in your letters is inflammatory and hateful. You should be arrested for hate speech.

Yew people are nuts. You really need to get a hobby

Matthew 10.22 quotes Jesus saying this: You will be hated by everyone because of my name.
You are simply doing what has already been foretold, joining in the same battle cry as ISIS when they brand Christians with the letter N to signify they are followers of Jesus of Nazareth; the prelude to losing home or life.
But read the rest of the story, find out what the Love of God truly is and then we’ll talk. Right now you’re just a reactionary walking out prophecy. I hope you’ll reconsider your position.

Hey “Mikey” I’d love to have you over for supper some time. I’ll invite all my God fearing enlisted patriots to join in. We could have a discussion on how lame your article and your letter is. After we say Grace of course and thank our Lord and Savior for the numerous blessings in our lives.

I see the well thought out comments you are receiving.

I just thought I would let you read one positive comment from a 9 year Naval veteran who thinks you were absolutely right to send the letter to the Air Force Chief of Staff and that appreciates that someone is looking out for those in the the military who serve this country with honor without necessarily sharing the beliefs of the majority.

You people are real pieces of hypocritical shit. Let’s meet somewhere so we can discuss face to face. I pray to GOD I stumble across one of your kind someday. As a veteran you can stick your letter up your asses.

Screw yourselves

Mikey Mike L Weinstein, go to hell you atheistic lab prick! We have had to tolerate the unraveling of our traditional customs and courtesies due to prices of shit such as yourself and your pathetic coward organization! You say nothing of Obama, the garbage filled commander in chief of the U.S. Military and his Christian bashing Muslim praising spout offs, thus chicken shit! You state the Generals actions as unforgivable? We find them needed much, and you compare his speaking to -Isis/Isil ? You and your rotten group are unforgivable! We support our Armed Forces serving bravely regardless of their faith and have no issue with them giving thanks but do carry certain critical concerns, regrets and hot issues with any of you shitbags calling for his disciplinary actions! Go away and keep going until your in hell you shitbags!!!

I would submit that it is YOUR organization that totally ignores the nation’s Bill of Rights’ inclusion of the Freedom of Religion, and that furthermore, it is actions such as your complaints and demanding of General Olson’s court martial that should put you to utter shame of yourselves. This nation was founded by groups of individuals who sought a land where the government of the country didn’t, and doesn’t oppress people based on their faith. Perhaps, just perhaps, if Americans would again, in a majority, turn to the Bible and to prayer for strength and guidance, our nation would be a FAR BETTER PLACE, and we would be unafraid to stand for the rights of all of mankind, rather than cow down to extremists and the “Political Correctness” groups of misinformed citizens.

Gen Olson for president.

When I joined the US Air Force 30 years ago, I gave up none of my rights as an American citizen, including my right to practice my religious beliefs. I signed nothing that required me to worship the flag, nor adopt the constitution as my bible. I took an oath to protect my nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. You, sir, and I use the word “sir” VERY loosely, are what I would consider a “domestic enemy”. Why, you may ask? because you seek to deny all service members their constitutional rights.

What do I say to that?

Come to my house and TRY to deny me ANY of my rights.

We will definitely dance, you hypocritical ass wipe. And you can take that to church on Sunday….

“…on behalf of countless members…” Are you saying that the members of the military are countless, or that you represent a countless amount of them? Later, you specifically number your “clients” at 41,000. That number is far from “countless”. The initial statement makes the more generalized claim that you are speaking on behalf of all of the military. You, sir, are degenerate scum, and you do not in any way speak on my behalf. Your citing of Parker v. Levy is also inappropriate, as that case has far more to do with making politically outrageous statements that are disruptive to military operations, morale, and cohesion, and much less about exercising free speech. Furthermore, your reference to the NDP as “an annual shame spectacle” indicates that your problem is not with the possibility that MGen Olson violated military regulations, but with your virulent hatred of any religious belief other than your own. Additionally, you lose any and all credibility with Gen Welsh by shamefully and disrespectfully referring to him by his first name in a mocking manner. Ultimately, this entire thing is laughably pointless, as your “demands” have no more authority than mine would if I demanded that uniforms should be changed to hot pink tiger stripes. What’s truly offensive in this entire situation is that bottom feeding parasites like you are allowed to exist. Remember this, you exist at the sufferance of people who actually wear a uniform, “rough men who stand ready to violence on [your] behalf.” Who do you think you are, to tell those men what they can and can’t believe, who or what they choose to worship? That’s all this overly wordy and ridiculous letter is trying to accomplish, to tell a successful military veteran that he doesn’t have the right to let anyone know that he’s a Christian. When you look at the actual technical complaints and see that they are only marginally arguable, your entire letter is reduced to little more than inflammatory rhetoric. Also, in your attempt to sound educated, you misused the word concomitantly. It would have been more appropriate to say concordantly.

As an air force brat…my father would be horrified and outraged when an article of this nature is public..he is with the good Lord. He served the air force proudly and as his daughter.grew up proud ..so proud of the Air Force military. But today I am not. Stop Silencing christian Americans…servicemen and women..Shame on you!!! Do the Free!!!thing here
Give the military men and women the credit the are due…free thinkers. ..right to make their own choices.
Lydia
Daughter of a proud,Army,Navy and Airforce Dad..

the best thing you could do is instill faith and hope.to military men and women. Believing in God in good. Produces good.
The general has a right to Free speech. ..expressing his thoughts and beliefs. ….Stop !!The Silencing of Americans..ALL American Christians…

Peoplelike the freedom from religion should be sent to North Korea. No group or Gov. is going to tell me I cannot worship God in public or private God bless you Gen. Lets see what Obama does about this.

Sir – Your organization is creating an atmosphere of fear and hatred in the society. Is there not a court in this country to call your organization as illegal for the fact that your are spreading hate crimes. This is a Christian country and everybody has the right to live here and practice their faith. Well, let me tell you, one of these days your children and grandchildren will follow this Jesus Christ whom you hate!!!

You surely do not represent religious freedom!

As a18 year AF Vet and atheist I find your letter to be far more offensive than anything Gen Olsen said. He was at a prayer event, and was clearly speaking about his own beliefs not those of the AF. Additionally, I suggest you change the name of your website because it doesn’t truly represent your cause… Based on your letter, I feel you have no concern for religious freedom rather I feel you are interested in religious oppression.

“Unforgivable crimes and transgressions?” A bit over zealous don’t you think? The Esquire sounds like an intolerant hater. While I am not a “fundamentalist Christian,” I can respect their right to believe and share those beliefs. What I am, however, is tired of all the hate speech seen and heard everywhere (including in that ridiculous letter). Isn’t there something more positive and productive you can be doing?

i would like to reply to your letter concerning General Olsons recent speech. FUCK YOU! As a retired Air Force Veteran .You do not represent Me or any of my fellow Airmen whom I have proudly served with. General Olson should be applauded and praised for telling the truth as to how he feals God has guided him in his life. Fuck You ! You commie bastards! Horray to General Olson!!!

Please you People are winning about something that goes on Everday by military members and Leadership in uniform. Complain about meaningful things,like Budgets!

Mr. Weinstein your letter is full of hate, disgust and an inordinate desire to be the gestapo of what people can say or keep to themselves. Guess it is not about religious freedom but more about your own personal views and how you chose to inflict them upon others. But then of course that is your religious freedom and that is what God helped the General to defend.

I am a 65 year old life long atheist. Could you explain further how this is unconstitutional, because, frankly, I don’t get it. I don’t see how Christmas displays in town squares are unconstitutional, nor do I see how crosses on the side of roads are unconstitutional. None of these things establish a national religion, so…what’s your point?

You have the freedom to dislike what is being said by General Craig Olson but you don’t have the right to sensor his speech about his faith! In my opinion you all need to remove the flag from your logo and replace it with a person who has tape over their mouth. This country was built has freedom because of men like General Olson and his service. Shame on you all!

“Additionally, Major General Olson has violated the No Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights…”

Apparently so have many past Presidents and Founding Fathers. You should go dig up a few of them and get them court-marshaled also.

Can’t really figure out what your for and against. Scrolling thru your website is kind of confusing. You should publish your address so people will know where to find you, maybe you could answer some questions.

Did you forget that we print on our money…In God we trust… Maybe you ought to read that. The Air Force General should be proud, and stand tall. The one complaining should stand down.

Your groups name is strangely misleading. You are apparently AGAINST religious freedom, so you should add that word to your name to be totally transparent about your true agenda. And a grown man going by the name Mikey, Really??

I have been in contact with Weinstein and some of his staff. Weinstein reverted to ad hominem attacks at me because he could not refute my remarks. Additionally, one of his staffers claimed that the MRFF is 95% Christian. I find that very hard to believe!
Olsen did not commit any crime or “potential felony”. Not even close! Note also that Mickey tried to take down another great AF general officer–Johnny A. Weida. He did manage to get Weida’s promotion to Major General put on hold–but Weida did actually get his second star after leaving the USAFA as Commamdant. Another Weinstein “FAIL”. I am sure the CSAF and his staff are LOL about Weinsteins recent letter demanding action
Against Olson. MRFF is a
Joke!

Why doesn’t your worthless 503c organization ridicule that homosexual Muslim Marxist fraudulent traitor in the White House, instead of a dedicated member of the United States Military who protects you obviously ungrateful, and undeserving winning low foreheads.
Pack up and get out of my country.

Reprehensible B.S. propagated by Mikey Weinstein, who obviously has a deep-seated hatred of Christians. We are tired of your hate speech. You’re saying an officer cannot speak of his faith at a prayer breakfast? You’re so full of crap, why don’t you crawl back under the slimy rock you came from?

If you people don’t like Mickey Weinstein fighting for the separation of church and state, then you need to get the hell out of the USA since unless you are an Native American Indian, we are all immigrants, so buzz off.

I would love it if all Christians refused to serve in the military over this. Then ISIS could enjoy continued military victories, rather than your exciting propaganda victories. Then you could be part of their world wide caliphate and you could see what it’s like to live in a real theocracy.

Too looney. Way too far out there. Better look up what George Washington said while commanding our Continental Army. And, all of our forefather’s, for that matter. Don’t you fellow Americans’, (I’m assuming here), have anything better to do to contribute to this great Country? So, your’re saying that a Christian has to renounce their faith when they join the US Military, huh? Hmm…I don’t remember getting that memo when I joined. Does anyone REALLY know why the Pilgrims left England? It wasn’t because the People didn’t want religious principles in their government. It was because they didn’t want the government to dictate which religion is the “State Religion” that had to be followed, without question. Government without spiritual foundation and principle is doomed to fail. Study the fall of the Roman Empire. It really wasn’t that long ago.

So, after I watched this unappetizing cult video of Crusader Olson, I was reminded of a comedy team named “Cheech and Chong” from the 1970’s.
Here’s a little history from
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=religion&defid=717683

religion
The complete faliure to take responsibility for your own actions, and accept that the position you are in with your life (in most cases) is a direct effect of your actions and your words leaving only you with the power to change it. When we lived in caves we thought spirits made us ill and the moon was made of cheese, for those religious among you not much seems to have advanced according to your way of thinking.
Any war, suffering or discrimination you care to think of.

“First I was all messed up on my report card, till I found the Lord. Now, I’m all messed up on the Lord.”

Dan, the US military threw many people of Muslim faith and Arabic sounding names after 9/11 and I don’t recall people like you standing up for them just because they belong to a different religion. I would not trust a military whose members are so bound by religious theocracy that the nation ends up being a religious dictatorship. If you guys and gals trust God so much, then when there is a war, just fight without your weapons and put blind faith in the Lord that he will protect you. Of course, then you will realizes how you need logical reasoning, critical thinking skills, math and science to help you defeat the enemy and that faith will not protect you from bullets, diseases, and the psychological effects of war.

Hey S. King. Moses did fight with an army at his side. Furthermore, he and his fellow Jews helped themselves to weapons and food from the Egyptians when they started to leave Egypt for the Promise Land. Otherwise, I don’t think that they could have fought all those battles in the Sinai and in Palestine. If the Jews won because they had God on their side, then how come, they need weapons, water, and food in order to survive and win?

According to George Carlin, many people pray to God but God doesn’t answer their prayers because they are interfering with his divine plan so George Carlin asks the question why bother to pray in the first place since you are interfering with God’s plan?

Frankly, it would be amazing what kind of excuses Christians like you would say to God on why you go to Church on Sunday, but stabbed your fellow human beings on Monday. The signs I see are greedy Christians destroying the planet all in the name of Capitalism and they think that they are God and I believe that they don’t fear God because they don’t believe that there is a God.

The idea that General Olson has committed an “unforgiveable crime” is absurd. Under this kind of view, many of our Presidents and most of our military men, many of whom prayed together, even publicly and while in uniform, would be criminals guilty of an unforgiveable crime under this kind of view. George Washington would be an unforgiveable criminal, a traitor?! No, something is really wrong here, and I suggest that it is a problem of the heart.

Calling such expressions of faith an “unforgiveable crime” is truly incendiary – it sounds like the language the Communists used before they imprisoned and killed Christians and others they disagreed with. Whatever the motives (presumably sincere), I suggest that this kind of incendiary rhetoric is not beneficial to our public discourse.

I look forward to the early & soon to be here days of His Kingdom, when you will finally see how horribly wrong you & your followers have been. It will be souls like the good general who will lovingly guide you to He who is the giver of life, so then you may eat all your words to the plead of His Mercy for what you have allowed your own self to start & stir up before the hearts & minds of so many more than just a few thousand service member who are “damned tired” of this or that. You just don’t want to know & face shame. That is what all of us who do fear GOD & Messiah know…SHAME & GUILT! That is what brings us to our place of repentance, so that we may find true eternal freedom from the things we’ve allowed ourselves to do…just like you are presently doing! You’ve just got to give it up. Only then will you discover a promise that is eternal for all mankind to choose : LIFE & LOVE as a member in the Eternal’s Family of ELOHIM. YAHWEH is our Father, and Immanuel ADONIAH is His glorified Son. Someday, you may know Him as Jesus, our elder Brother as I & many thousands more look so much forward to. Thank you !

This group is despicable. And I’m an atheist.

No Brian, people like you are morons because you and others like you don’t know how to think.

Nonna, I don’t see Christians supporting affordable or free health care. It is still expensive to go and get medical care even at a Christian run hospital. In addition, many Christian churches are being closed down due to them unable to pay their mortgages and the reason why is that because many of their parishioners are unemployed or underemployed which means loss of money that the churches get from them every Sunday. Furthermore, many people are leaving the church due to the various scandals in the last several years plus the people are finally learning that without economic/job security and strong worker rights in this country, prayer and religion does not put a roof over your head, paid your bills, and put food on the table and does not protect you from poverty and homelessness.

Dear Ron W:

Those babies that died at stillbirth, or died a few minutes, or died after a few hours, died after a few days, died after a few months, they did not have a life or much of a life at all. Did they know about life being temporary, that death is certain and to trust in Jesus? NO THEY DID NOT. Does that make them unbelievers? Pretty simple when you look at it.
