One-man offensive

Military: Attorney activist Mikey Weinstein is making war on evangelicals—and the Pentagon | Lynn Vincent

Mikey Weinstein has a battle plan: "We're going to go into a court of law and lay down our own withering field of fire and leave sucking chest wounds on this unconstitutional heart of darkness that has swept through our Pentagon and our military like a fascistic contagion, turning the Pentagon into the 'Pentacostal-gon.'"

What is that "unconstitutional heart of darkness?" Evangelicals in military leadership.

Weinstein, a former Air Force JAG officer and lawyer in the Reagan White House, will tell you it's not all evangelicals, but only a small subset: "Premillenial, dispensational, reconstructionist, dominionist, fundamentalist, and evangelistic."

That reconstructionists are almost never dispensational; that all evangelicals are, by definition, evangelistic; and that Weinstein's most recent target, Christian Embassy, serves a constituency too theologically mixed to be pigeonholed, doesn't seem to bother him: He's on a roll.
