You probably know this already, but the anti-theocracy website Talk To Action has been covering the topic of Dominionism in the U.S. Military for several years, which means that Mikey Weinstein's name comes up frequently. A search on his name turned up 30 articles.

Here's the most recent one, dated October 16, 2012:

It's called "USAFA Classmate Threatens Imprecatory Prayer if Mikey Weinstein Attends Class Reunion" and it begins this way:

Next week, Mikey Weinstein, the founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), will be attending the 35th reunion of his class at the Air Force Academy. Apparently, some of his "Spirit-filled born again Christian" classmates have a problem with this, threatening imprecatory prayers to put the Psalm 109 whammy on him if he shows up.
Here's the email Mikey got from one of his "Spirit-filled born again Christian" classmates the other day. (I've inserted asterisks with explanations below for a few things this guy refers to in his "Spirit-filled" email.)


You can read the actual email (or as much of it as you can stand) at the link. It will become painfully clear that Mikey Weinstein's "Spirit-filled" classmate is full of something, but it's not what I would call "Spirit."
