Mister Weinstein
I am appalled at what you said about the midshipman at the Merchant Marine Academy. I couldn’t believe the foul things you said calling them insects, cowards and pieces of sh*& just because they committed the unpardonable sin of not agreeing with you. You know most mature people give up childish name calling in the third grade. I fully support them putting that painting of Jesus back up wherever they please. That painting was in honor of Merchant Seamen who served in World War II and hung there for 76 years with no complaints. Only one person in a hundred enlists in the military and those fine young cadets are among them how dare you insult them. I pray they have to serve in peace and not war and I salute them. To me all those videos you make show is that you are a foul mouthed playground bully and I am glad someone has stood up to you. I think I know who the real coward is in this case.
An old Soldier who does not support you

This will acknowledge receipt of another one of your cynical complaints. This time you are supporting Merchant Marine Academy midshipmen who did not have the courage or integrity to stand up for what is lawful and right. They took the sworn oath to support, defend and bear true faith and allegiance to the secular United States Constitution (which includes the First Amendment) but cowardly cheered when a partisan politician encouraged that it be disrespected, ignored and violated. Religious paintings are legal and appropriate for chapels or museums, not federal administrative buildings.
For your enlightenment, see my attached historical article on the United States Constitution which was published on the Military Religious Freedom website.

‘Old Soldier’,Your impotent rage at Mikey/MRFF is getting both tiresome and boringly repetitive…too much time on your hands there chief? The hypocritical horseshit spewed in your latest missive knows no ends, as you now whine:
“I read your attack on Secretary Duffy and it was nothing but a hate rant just like your attack on those midshipmen calling them insects and cowards. You used words like wretched, malodorous and putrid and you made analogies to filth, vomit and excrement. That to me sir is hate speech and sick.”
Your initial email to Mikey & MRFF (yes… I keep ‘receipts’) way back on December 25, 2017 (…your heart apparently filled with your style of “Christian” Christmas Spirit & Goodwill for your fellow man) referred to Mikey & MRFF as follows:
– …I consider the MRFF to be just a hate group and nothing else.
– … you nothing more then a bully and a coward who wants to push a selfish agenda. (…great spelling btw)
– …I want you to know that you are one of the most despicable, disgraceful people I have ever read about.
– …I cannot believe that they let someone like you wear a uniform.
– …Bullies are basically cowards at heart because they attack people who don’t fight back and someone should have told you off a long time ago. I await your reply if you have the guts COWARD
…and yet you now have the unmitigated gall to whine and snivel about ‘hate speech’. And all this coming from someone who professed in their email on 12/25/2017 that “I was a chaplains assistant in Operation Desert Storm and let me tell you something moron there are no such things as athiests [sp] in foxholes… and someone who loves the Lord and proudly serves him”. ‘Old Soldier’, you’re clearly a gutless hypocrite who has no business using a word you clearly don’t understand: SHAME. I’m sure an endorsing agency for any chaplaincy consideration would have been proud of you… yeah, right!Your impotent rantings as you call yourself a “Christian”, as well as your obvious ease with spewing your hypocrisy leads me to share a warning to you, fellow-“Christian”, that Jesus Christ had an extremely low opinion of hypocrites and what they can expect in the ‘here-after’ (…check out the Gospel of Matthew in particular, if you’re so inclined as a “Christian”).With all due and well deserved disrespect,

Early in my commenting here at the MRFF I got into a heated discussion with a NatC. I insisted when someone enters the military their faith had fill them up on the inside because on the outside their oath was to defend the Constitution, a secular document.
I know plenty of people who haven’t told me one way or the other how they believe but by their actions I can tell exactly who and what they are (when you follow the actions of Christ and not the words of the Priest class it’s kind of obvious – at least to me). I’m sure if I knew more Muslims I’d feel the same way about them. Truthfully I believe the core of each faith is more about taking care of each other and less about converting the infidel, although there is always room at the table (hint hint).
So, my less than honorable opponent all caps screamed that according to them it was their faith (their flavor of faith – let’s be clear here) first and foremost in all things, including government. Then the Constitution. They believed to their core that their flavor was the ONLY flavor of religion and everyone else who didn’t covert were agents of Satan, going to hell, and… my mind is fuzzy. Y’all can look through the archives, I’m sure our back and forth are there.
Point being Old Soldier and the midshipman believe their faith is the only faith.
Sigh.
They are never happy when I pull out the Best God Joke ever by Emo Philips. You can go look it up. I know I always laugh at the end.
Just in case searching is a stretch for you, I present The best God joke ever
by Emo Philips
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”
He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”
Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.

Greatest example of why the Founding Fathers made the USA a secular nation I’ve ever found. Lots of logical ones but this paints the picture because y’all know someone just like the two humans on the bridge and if you are entirely honest might even be related to a few.
Yep. Join the club.
Oh no, the Old Soldier wishing he’d joined the Navy?
A visiting priest, after hearing confessions, asks an alter boy, “what does father Vincent give as penance for adultery? The alter boy responds, “just give them a couple our fathers and a few Hail Marys.” “Great, I’ll do that,” the priest responds.
The next week brings a similar question. “What would he give as penance for adultery second offense?” “That’s easy father. Just double the penance!” “Yes, yes, thank you. I’ll do that,” says the visiting priest.
The third week rolls around and the priest yet again questions the alter boy, “what would father Vincent give for sodomy?”
The alter boy quickly responds, “two snickers and a butterfinger!” :-)
The Old Soldier says most people give up name calling in the third grade. He shouldn’t talk about Trump that way!
