Military Base Removes Banner Promoting Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School has been a beloved summer pastime for children across America for generations.

Boys and girls look forward to a week of Bible stories, interactive songs, arts and crafts and of course, Hydrox cookies and fruit punch. What’s not to love about VBS?

Honestly, the only people who could be remotely offended by Vacation Bible School would be a bunch of godless, heathen atheists.

And that brings me to an incident that occurred at Fort Sill in Oklahoma.

Military leaders ordered soldiers to remove a banner promoting Vacation Bible School at the base’s Frontier Chapel. The banner, which had been posted to a fence outside the main gate, declared, “Jesus Pulls Us Through.”

The banner had reportedly triggered individuals associated with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an organization known for waging campaigns against nativity scenes on military bases. Listen to Todd’s explosive interview with MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein above.

In a back and forth on facebook, I am told by the Ft Sill facebook moderator that the sign came down right after the letter was received not because of the letter but because as a sheer coincidence, the VBS was filled up. However, being a retired Army Officer, I know full well the power Mickie Weinstein has had and now regained over the military. He had near veto power over Christians in the military during the reign of Obama and that seems to have returned. Our Army is weak, woke and worrisome in the extreme.

“Mickie needs a thorough ass-pounding.”
This a seriously unfortunate choice of words. I believe what you probably meant to say is Ass-Kicking. Mickie is likely to enjoy your particular suggestion.

I am a retired Marine. I agree with your assessment 100%. But, it is not just the Army. The Air Force and Navy have also long been compromised.
Until recently the Marines were a lone exception. No longer. The Obama administration purged most of the Hardcore Marine Patriots in our senior officer ranks during his 8 years.
President Trump who was totally unaware of the Purging of the senior officer ranks of nearly all Patriots made the mistake of thinking there were a great many General Patton’s still within the ranks.
He found out the hard way through the betrayal of his trust he was mistaken. He was backstabbed by numerous Generals in whom he placed much trust.

I have been hearing that name Mickey Weinstein in connection with stomping out all traces of Christianity in the Armed Forces for years. I’ve never understood why he holds so much influence. He is but one man.
Is the top brass that easily cowed, by the slightet hint of a complaint? Sad. That has got to change.

This erasing of all Christian influence in the armed forces has become some kind of knee jerk, compulsively sick game.
A game played by totalitarians.

I agree with you too. Trump’s biggest mistake was not purging every Obama General and Admiral. I would have fired every three and four star officer the first day and the rest of the officer and NCO corps would have gotten the message quickly. He never drained the swamp anywhere and it eventually got him.

The military needs an enema. The generals are mostly traitors.

Weinstein is a jew with some intense hatred for Christians in the US Military.

Check out his reign of terror here:

Agreed. But, my point really is, as a civilian, non-politician President Trump was totally unaware of these things. As a man born in 1945, immediately after our great victories in WWII, he had an enormous respect for the men that won that war. If you watched his rally’s during the Primaries and the General elections he repeatedly made reference to the great Generals and Admirals of that war.
He truly believed that there are still to this day such men throughout our military.
He was so very mistaken. There were but two who had his back. Admiral Rogers and General Flynn. And, that was it. The rest were backstabbing him at every opportunity. He eventually realized the breadth and depth of the Deep State was far beyond what he ever imagined but, it was too late by that time.
He is a much wiser man today in regards to the Deep State than he was as a candidate and first-term President.
He has learned in Trial by Fire.

Retired USAF here. Agree. I know numerous USAFA graduates, some of whom, knew this Weinstein character at the USAFA. None remembered having a conversation with him, but they vaguely remember him from the Academy. They were a bit embarrassed, knowing he graduated from the same USAFA, that they did.

#11. Michael Mikey Weinstein is NOT A JEW. He’s a “SELF-HATING” person who was born Jewish. He’s like George Soros, a KAPO for the anti-Jewish, anti-Christian psychopaths movements.

He gets away with his threats because he has a lawyer or two who will sue on behalf of MFRR at the drop of a hat and our military leaders are cowards, fools, and conned.

I once had a chance to talk to the daughter and son-in-law of famous “atheist” Madelaine O’Hair Murphy. The girl was so brainwashed she didn’t know what was going on.

Her mother later committed suicide and her movement went to hell with her. Now Mikey is taking her place. I suspect that he too will off himself as his hateful insanity reaches full strength.

Somewhere in Russia and Red China, a big monument will be build in his honor for trying to destroy the recognition of the role that religion has long played in the history and strengths of the U.S. Military.

Under Biden, only the religion of “wickens, vegans and NAMBLA” will be officially recognized (along with Progressivism aka Marxism).

I”d like to give the MRFF a piece of my mind from the viewpoint of a service brat, bounced from country to country and base to base, and rarely living ‘on’ base.

Vacation church camps and schools was one of a very few opportunities for a service kid to feel camaraderie with other service kids. To give them at least a small sense of belonging and consistency in their constantly changing worlds, while instilling values that carried through a life time. It's criminal to challenge this unique opportunity that has been so important in anchoring and contributing to the mental health of service kids.

“It’s criminal to challenge this unique opportunity that has been so important in anchoring and contributing to the mental health of service kids.”

Interfering with freedom of worship is a violation of human rights. This swine should be on trial for crimes against humanity, with the death penalty in play.

He definitely learned a LOT in his 4 years. He found out that all of his “buddies” previously only wanted 1 thing, and nothing else mattered to them.

He learned that they are the enemy, not only to him, but the Republic itself.
