You know my fellow Americans, when it comes to military service, shouldn\u2019t there be at least some basic requirements?<\/p>\n

When I think of a serviceman, I think of John Wayne, George Washington or Patton! I think of a rough and tumble, gritty, pull no punches man\u2019s man!<\/p>\n

The military is no place for the weak or the faint of heart so why is it that the military seems to be run nowadays by people who behave literally like spoiled children?<\/p>\n

Let me explain.<\/p>\n

A cadet at the United States Air Force Academy recently wrote down a verse from the Bible that inspired him and he posted it on his door outside his dorm room.<\/p>\n

It was at this point that a man the President Obama consulted in regards to how to more effectively institutionalize bigotry and destroy the 1st<\/sup> amendment rights of military personal, got involved.<\/p>\n

You should know his name since if you are a religious believer he hates your Liberty. His name is Mikey Weinstein and is an atheist missionary. He despises religious freedom, so consequently in this era in America he must be the logical choice as director of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.<\/p>\n

Atheists have been great at hiding their ideological destruction of religious Liberties for years and they always have a clever name to sound all encompassing. The American Civil Liberties Union for example which was also founded by a communist I might add.<\/p>\n

So anyway, \u201cMikey\u201d said he got a complaint from some other cadets and a couple faculty and staff members and \u201cMikey\u201d stated, and I quote that \u201cit made for a hostile working environment at the academy.<\/p>\n

For those of you without a law degree let me help define this concept. Because a cadet at the Academy wrote down a 2000 year old scripture verse that inspired him and he placed it on his own door, clearly stating that this was important to him, some other cadets saw the verse, started crying and hyperventilating and went to tell \u201cMikey\u201d how sad they were.<\/p>\n

Notice what didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

No one was forbidden to write their own inspiring verse on their own door, no one was commanded to read the verse, or salute it or memorize it.<\/p>\n

Instead, they are taught like children that if they don\u2019t like something instead of having the maturity, courage and virtue to respect someone else\u2019s divers viewpoint they have \u201cMikey\u201d to run to, and \u201cMikey\u201d will scream and pout and call it \u201cpouring fundamentalist Christian gasoline on an already raging out-of-control conflagration of fundamentalist Christian tyranny, exceptionalism and supremacy at USAFA\u201d.<\/p>\n

Really \u201cMikey\u201d, hey Hyperbole just called, he wants to take lessons from you.<\/p>\n

The blatant anti-Christian, anti-religious anti-1st<\/sup> Amendment bigotry by little \u201cMikey\u201d is obvious only to those who see Liberty as sacred.<\/p>\n

\u201cMikey\u201d had this personal message removed and I ask my fellow Americans, when something is removed are we left with more Liberty, or less?<\/p>\n

Also notice that these \u201cbrave\u201d offended cadets and staff were courageous enough to complain to \u201cMikey\u201d but not brave enough to confront the cadet on their own, or to have their names published, which begs the question, how do we know this story of complaints is even true?<\/p>\n

We already have numerous cases of waitresses forging anti black and anti gay screeds on receipts, designed to insult and disparage Christians in order for the offended to garner sympathy and in some cases receive compensation.<\/p>\n

Considering Christians are the target of these frauds and now complaints which are designed to hurt, defame, marginalize and censor Christian\u2019s only in America, perhaps this should be considered a hate crime?<\/p>\n

What do you think \u201cMikey\u201d you ready to defend Christians in the military from YOU AND YOUR GROUP?<\/p>\n

Why not kid, now you can double your income!<\/p>\n

From his Nashville stronghold, Stine is mounting his crusade against these hypocrisies, all of which are explored in his highly anticipated 4th album\/DVD, aptly titled \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWUSSIFICATION!' \"You know what offends me?... Offended people,\" says Stine. A staunch supporter of first amendment rights and foe of political correctness, Stine asserts that rights should be universally applied. \"In a country with guaranteed rights to freedom of religion, its citizens are constantly trying to make faith in public spheres illegal, I am offended by that contradiction and want to talk about it as a comic.\" The strength of his conviction about our freedoms can be found in many places on WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c from \"Merry Christmas Too!\" (the right to celebrate religion) to \"At Least We're Not France!\" (the responsibility to take action as a country) to \"Spank\" (the ability to discipline our children the way we see fit). What would cause the wussification of Brad Stine? \"I hope that nothing ever wussifies me to deny my own personal beliefs,\" he says. \"Brainwashed wussies have been taught that standing up for yourself and defending your personal point of view makes you a close-minded hate monger.\" Stine stops short of defending his point of view as the ONLY one, adding \"...one must also be respectful of dissenting belief while supporting their own.\" He is, after all, an inclusive figure who trains his comedy to attack ideas, not the people who embrace them. Stine's faith forces him to acknowledge the respect and dignity of all\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 even the wussies with whom he disagrees! Stine models his approach to comedy after legendary practitioners that he has known and loved over the years. Despite George Carlin's disdain for theistic beliefs, he has been a big influence on Stine. \"I always enjoyed Carlin for turning the tables on culture. He is an excellent writer that has endured for decades.\" More current comedic touchstones are Brian Reagan, Paula Poundstone, Jim Gaffigan and Monty Python, among others. Fear not, true believers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with his brand new album, Brad Stine is here to save the world from WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c one politically-correct, offended person at a time!\"","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/author\/bstine"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/223"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":286,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285\/revisions\/286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
