“everyone comes off badly, especially Sgt. Longcrier, who also ought to be called Loudcrier, Whinycrier and Bittercrier.”

Aye.

Yeesh. What a baby. This guy’s a soldier? We’re doomed.

Speaking of babies, note the name of the Jew cheerleading his complaint:

“Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation”

Mikey? MIKEY?! A guy ostensibly associated with the Air Force goes by the name MIKEY?

Crikey.

In this story, everyone comes off badly, especially Sgt. Longcrier, who also ought to be called Loudcrier, Whinycrier and Bittercrier.

There have been real disputes about pagan rights in the armed forces. (Not being able to be buried with an appropriate symbol in a military cemetery was pretty serious, and that seems to have been purely about George W. Bush’s opinion that Wicca is witchcraft and not a real religion like say Islam.)

This isn’t one of those real disputes. Thor should drop a thunderbolt on Sgt. Sob Sister’s head for being so unmanly as to be upset by having a wooden cross propped against his sacred stone.

Nevertheless:

Weinstein, whose New Mexico-based group represents more than 16,000 active duty and retired servicemembers, said the incident was “clearly” a hate crime and characterized any denial of that assertion to be preposterous.

“It has the same impact, the same hurt, the same marginalization,” he said Thursday. “That circle is their mosque, their church, their synagogue.”

Fjordman’s original article didn’t seem overly optimistic. He didn’t need any cold water. But Gottfried is right to point out that the government can ignore popular opinion if it grows impatient.

In the comment section, Gottfried says a few words about Jewish activists in Germany :

” As for the German situation, I don’t know how a patriotic German can’t loathe the Zentralrat fuer Juden in Deutschland, an organization whose three functions are endorsing the Zionist Right, besmirching the Germans and their entire history, and working ceaselessy to turn over Europe to the Muslims. Although Nazi anti-Semitism was vile and inexcusable, the organized Jewish presence in Germany is obnoxious enough to turn even anti-Nazis into raging anti-Semites. Jews in Germany, who refuse to view themselves as Germans and pretend to be on their way to somewhere else, should stop hating Germans and recognize they’re in the same boat with the goyim. “

In his main article, he blames the “oligarchs” :

” One, people live with authority structures, and the “oligarchs” (…) are the ones we are now confronting. Those who are imposing “democracy” as a value-system, as well as a cornucopia of social programs, control their obliging subjects. They educate the young while their allies in the media supervise our entertainment and, to whatever extent they can, our access to information. The bloated partitocrazia, with its overlapping programs and parasitic “public servants” organize elections and keep the system from getting out of hand. “
(…)
” Two, although the “oligarchs” climbed to power as enactors of democratic equality through public administration, once ensconced with a massive electorate and equipped with public money and a vast welfariate, these pests are damned hard to remove. In fact barring a major catastrophe, it seems inconceivable that they can be driven from power. “
