WARNER ROBINS, Ga. – Gate guards at an Air Force base in central Georgia have been ordered to stop telling visitors to "have a blessed day." In an email to The Associated Press, Robins Air Force Base spokesman Roland Leach confirmed Thursday that the order has been given. A man who identified himself as an active duty military member posted on the Military Religious Freedom Foundation website that Robins personnel have told him to have a blessed day more than a dozen times in the past two weeks. The organization's president, Mikey Weinstein, said on the group's website that he spoke with base officials and was told that staff would no longer use the greeting. Weinstein said base officials told him that gate guards will now say "have a nice day" instead.

Mikey has got to be one of the most miserable people on the planet.

Probably didn't get enough attention from his mother.

Mikey should get a kick in the @$$ from the guards.

This nonesense is tyranny of the minority and needs to be stopped at any cost.

I have a feeling that would not have been a problem. And what kind of grown “man” goes by “Mikey”?

Just another sign of the times . . . our country has been given over to a reprobate mindset. I truly believe major trouble lies ahead for our nation. But take heart . . .http://www.patburt.com/

I suspect this might be the real reason they are saying it: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Have+a+blessed+day!

Just read Mikey's wiki page. What a freakin toolbox. Former Air Force Officer, attorney, etc...

Actually blamed Christians for the Fort Hood shooting. He's a POS.

Weinstein said base officials told him that gate guards will now say "have a nice day" instead.

nice (adj.) Look up nice at Dictionary.com late 13c., "foolish, stupid, senseless," from Old French nice (12c.) "careless, clumsy; weak; poor, needy; simple, stupid, silly, foolish," from Latin nescius "ignorant, unaware," literally "not-knowing," from ne- "not" (see un-) + stem of scire "to know" (see science). "The sense development has been extraordinary, even for an adj." [Weekley] -- from "timid" (pre-1300); to "fussy, fastidious" (late 14c.); to "dainty, delicate" (c.1400); to "precise, careful" (1500s, preserved in such terms as a nice distinction and nice and early); to "agreeable, delightful" (1769); to "kind, thoughtful" (1830).

Mikey? A grown man, Mikey???????

I just moved from down there near WR. It’s the kind of city where MANY businesses put verses or “we support our troops” up on their signs. EDIMGIAFAD is the theme down there. Every Day In Middle Georgia Is Armed Forces Appreciation Day
