“Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation’s armed forces.”

Weinstein decries what he calls the “virulent religious oppression” perpetrated by conservative Christians, whom he refers to as “monstrosities” and “pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers,” comparing them to “bigots” in the Deep South during the civil rights era.
He cites Dr. James Dobson—the famous Christian founder of Focus on the Family—as “illustrating the extremist, militant nature of these virulently homophobic organizations’ rhetorically-charged propaganda.” Regarding those who teach orthodox Christian beliefs from the Bible, Weinstein concludes, “Let’s call these ignoble actions what they are: the senseless and cowardly squallings of human monsters.”
Weinstein then endorses the ultra-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), who publishes a list of “hate groups.” Alongside truly deplorable organizations like the KKK, the SPLC’s list includes a host of traditional Christian organizations (for their support of traditional marriage) and Tea Party organizations (for supporting limited government). Weinstein says SPLC correctly labels them all as “hate groups.”
Floyd Lee Corkins—the first person ever convicted of domestic terrorism in federal court under the laws of Washington, D.C.—told the FBI that he chose his intended shooting spree targets from the SPLC website's map. Corkins was arrested at the offices of the Family Research Council (FRC) after shooting a security guard in August 2012. His court documents state that Corkins intended to kill as many people as possible.
Weinstein also supports Lt. Col. Jack Rich, the Army officer who wrote to subordinate officers that soldiers who hold traditional Christian beliefs agreeing with organizations on SPLC’s “hate group” list are incompatible with “Army values" and should be carefully watched and excluded from military service.
According to Weinstein, “We should as a nation effusively applaud Lt. Col. Rich.” He adds that the nation should “venture further” than Rich’s recommendations, saying, “We MUST vigorously support the continuing efforts to expose pathologically anti-gay, Islamaphobic, and rabidly intolerant agitators for what they are: die-hard enemies of the United States Constitution. Monsters, one and all. To do anything less would be to roll out a red carpet to those who would usher in a blood-drenched, draconian era of persecutions, nationalistic militarism, and superstitious theocracy.”
Many media outlets are silent on this disturbing new alliance between fanatical secularists and leaders in the Pentagon appointed by President Barack Obama and Secretary Chuck Hagel, under which the U.S. military would officially consult with someone with such foaming-at-the-mouth passionate hostility toward traditional Christians, including Evangelicals and devout Catholics. The military—America’s most heroic and noble institution—includes countless people of faith, and this represents a radical departure from the U.S. military’s warm embrace of people of faith in its ranks.
Yet the little coverage this story is getting is positive, such as this Washington Post column that somehow manages not to carry any of these frightening quotes from Weinstein and instead actually endorses the Pentagon’s meeting with him. Sally Quinn’s Post column also approvingly quotes MRFF Advisory Board member Larry Wilkerson as saying, “Sexual assault and proselytizing, according to Wilkerson, ‘are absolutely destructive of the bonds that keep soldiers together.’”
Did you get that? They say having someone share the Christian gospel with you is akin to being raped. Weinstein makes sure there are no doubts, being quoted by the Post as adding, “This is a national security threat. What is happening [aside from sexual assault] is spiritual rape. And what the Pentagon needs is to understand is that it is sedition and treason. It should be punished.”
Another MRFF Advisory Board member, Ambassador Joe Wilson (the far-left husband of CIA employee Valerie Plame from the Iraq War’s yellow-cake uranium scandal a decade ago), said a military chaplain “is to minister to spiritual needs. You don’t proselytize. It’s a workplace violation.”
In other words, it should be the official policy of the United States to decree what a human being’s spiritual needs are, and punish for violations a military officer who is an ordained clergyman who attempts to share his own personal faith with another service member when discussing religious matters. You cannot imagine such a thing ever happening under any previous president.
Weinstein goes on:
If these fundamentalist Christian monsters of human degradation … and tyranny cannot broker or barter your acceptance of their putrid theology, then they crave for your universal silence in the face of their rapacious reign of theocratic terror. Indeed, they ceaselessly lust, ache, and pine for you to do absolutely nothing to thwart their oppression. Comply, my friends, and you become as monstrously savage as are they. I beg you, do not feed these hideous monsters with your stoic lethargy, callousness and neutrality. Do not lubricate the path of their racism, bigotry, and prejudice. Doing so directly threatens the national security of our beautiful nation.
God help us now when someone with such visceral hatred of conservative Christians—literally tens of millions of Americans—who says sharing this gospel is “spiritual rape” is helping develop policies for how to deal with Christians in the military.
Weinstein says those guilty of this “treason” must be “punished.” Under federal law, the penalty for treason is death. And the Obama administration is sitting down to talk with this man to craft new policies for “religious tolerance” in our military.

If you are going to take over the country and turn it into the next caliphate - the first place to start is the military. Moslem friendly means anti-christ.
The Pentagon is the last place I expected this behavior. Consider the shark now jumped.
The light in the loafers, DADT crowd own the military now. I can’t believe this scum was able to pull it off. Way to go Barry!
BE AFRAID, VERY AFRAID if you are a born again Christian especially in the military,
We will not win any more wars.
Wow. It sounds like this guy could use a little time out in a mental institution. He sounds like Adolph Hitler.
(GOD bless America. Amen.)
Ping!
“Wow. It sounds like this guy could use a little time out in a mental institution. He sounds like Adolph Hitler.”
Adolph Weinstein, anti-christian bigot and self-hating jew. Wanna bet he has nice things to say about the Palestinians also?.
So if in the future we have a draft, all one has to say is that they are a Born Again Christian, and they will be excluded?
Weinstein says those guilty of this “treason” must be “punished.” Under federal law, the penalty for treason is death. And the Obama administration is sitting down to talk with this man to craft new policies for “religious tolerance” in our military.
This is the part that makes me think Obama picked “this” particular man to make policies. I think he is, in a round about way, warning Christians. Too bad we fear God more than him.
They'll show up to MEPS and be thrown into a dark cell. No trial or accusation. You're a Christian? You're imprisoned for your crimes.
They're putting all of the pieces into place, guys. It's been a very long chess game, but the leftists are poised to take mate in 3. There's little left for us to do but arm up, bunker in, and be prepared. It's coming.
The infestation has gone terminal - I fear there may be only one cure....
America has openly rejected God by re-electing Barack Obama. And we will pay the price. We now live in a homosexual-loving, Christian-hating country. Short of massive revival, we are doomed.
Correction:
"...all one has to say is that they are a Born Again Christian, and they will be executed.
There is no "we" anymore. Obama has divided the country into 2 separate parts.

But...but...they said all they wanted was a little tolerance for what they did in the privacy of their own bedrooms. Just a little tolerance. That's all.
This is why they were given the death penalty when the nation was founded. Some bleeding heart came along and felt sorry for them because (back then) their crimes weren't considered violent. They got sent to prison for life to protect the population instead. Once again, some whiner felt that prison was too harsh, so they were kept in mental institutions until the 1980's, where they were released because of the Carter economy. They were to be out-patients and return to the institutions on a weekly basis. Instead, they escaped out into the population. They now walk the streets and demand others adore and cater to their dysfunctional and distorted wishes.
NOW, it's easy to understand why the founders did what they felt they had to do to protect the people. Homosexuals are dangerously insane. More and more, people are starting to notice the big mistake they made by giving them "tolerance."
I hope he was drunk when he wrote that,
