Selling Jesus-themed candies on an Air Force base is just one example of religious freedom in the U.S. being “under constant attack,” according to a watchdog group.
Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) founder and president Mikey Weinstein is furiously calling out the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo., for offering such products at its shop.
“Peterson Air Force Base, located deep in the intolerant, fundamentalist Christian enclave of Colorado Springs, Colorado, has consistently been one of the most horrendous military installation abusers of the Constitutional mandate to NOT establish Christianity (or any other faith or even ‘non-faith’) as the de facto armed forces State Religion,” Weinstein told Crooks and Liars.

First Liberty Institute lawyer and director of military affairs, Mike Berry, told Fox News Weinstein’s complaint doesn’t hold any legal ground.

I suppose moohambone would have been okay?

It’s not even that far. They are complaining about candy canes. I’ve eaten hundred over the years and never considered them Jesus candy. These people are cracked!
Trump needs to order the Pentagon, and all branches to cut off all communication with and response to Mikey Weinstein. This scumbag practically had an office in Obama’s DoD, and caused havoc throughout the military.
oh my.
You don’t have to buy it, and you don’t have to eat it.

Simply dont buy the candy.

I guess the internet thought that bore repeating...
Trump should have fired all of the Obama appointed Generals/ Admirals long ago, and have looked closely at the Field Grade, Obama appointed officers.
