Mikey Weinstein’s latest endeavor to remove any and all Christian and Jewish religious symbology from the military has failed. The “Missing Soldier” setting at the Manchester NH VA Medical Center included a Bible donated by a WWII POW. This display raised the ire of Mikey, who true to form filed a lawsuit to have the offending book removed.<\/p>\n
Who is this guy, and what’s his issue with Bibles?<\/p>\n

Mikey Weinstein reportedly described his anti-Christian organization Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF): “We are a weapon. We’re a militant organization. Our job is to kick ass, take names, lay down a withering field of fire, and leave sucking chest wounds on this unconstitutional heart of darkness, if you will, this imperious fascistic contagion of unconstitutional triumphalism.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So basically he files lawsuits against the military for the display of religious items, sort of a Westboro Baptist Church type scam. I don’t believe he’s actually won a case in court, but all you need to file is a lawyer and the filing fee. From the article:

That\u2019s the message Vice President Mike Pence sent to the Manchester VA Medical Center on Wednesday, during a speech at the American Legion\u2019s national convention.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou might\u2019ve heard even today that there\u2019s a lawsuit to remove a Bible that was carried in World War II from a Missing Man Table at a VA hospital in New Hampshire,\u201d Pence told the veterans gathered in Indianapolis. \u201cLet me be clear: Under this administration, VA hospitals will not be religion-free zones.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will always respect the freedom of religion of every veteran of every faith,\u201d said Pence, an evangelical Christian. \u201cAnd my message to the New Hampshire VA hospital is: The Bible stays.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bible featured in the Missing Man Table display at the Manchester VA Medical Center was donated by a Bedford man, now 100 years old, who was a former POW in a German prison camp. He actually did not carry it during the war, but was given the Bible by a family member after he escaped captivity and returned home.<\/p>\n
The lobby display, sponsored by the Northeast POW\/MIA Network, has divided the veterans community. Earlier this year, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), based in New Mexico, filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of an Air Force veteran against the Manchester VA, claiming the inclusion of the Bible in the display is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
VA officials initially removed the Bible from the display, then reversed course and returned it after an outcry from other patients.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
If any think Mikey is doing his thing for altruistic reasons, well, there’s this bridge…<\/p>\n
