"Honoring" the Troops

So, the new way to "honor" the troops is by avoiding them? We are supposed to buy the lie that the "Messiah" has so much respect for the troops that, instead of visiting the wounded in hospitals, he exercised his freedom to exercise?

Is there really a world where that twisted, convoluted, opaque thinking makes sense? No, they just tell bigger ones all the time cause they know the "disciples" of Bary will swallow anything he throws their way.

Kind of reminds me of some of the friends of Bill Clinton. They would swallow any lie and some would even...oops!

Dear Mr. Boortz


I sent this email to Neal Boortz today. I don't really think he'll ever see it. Who knows? Maybe.


*************************************************************************************

Dear Mr. Boortz:

I've been listening to your program fairly regularly, around two hours a week, for about three years now. Your show, if nothing else, never fails to be entertaining. I discovered you one day while tuning in for my regular helping of Dr. Laura. You were there instead.

I find that I agree with you, oh, I suppose, sixty percent of the time. I have always been a proud conservative, but have had my eyes opened, in many ways, by your Libertarian logic. You have even gone so far as to move my philosophy, somewhat, on the political spectrum toward your way of thinking. Not an easy task, considering my own well known obstinence. (On the "Are You a Libertarian?" test, I now find myself consistently on the border between conservative and libertarian.)

Yet, "I have somewhat against thee." I won't try, so much, to explain why, or argue the facts. I won't try to sway you to my way of thinking. I don't believe I could.
I only wish to point out a couple of things that bother me.

I've heard you many times remind your listeners that you don't discuss the "a -word." Yet, I've heard you many times berate pro-lifers, even the term "pro-life,” questioning our intelligence and casting blistering aspersions at us on every level. (That's o.k. We can take it.)

Again, I am not writing to defend my position or attack yours. I'm only writing to point out that you, in this respect, are typical of the "pro-choice" crowd. You defend the choice of everyone, but the unborn who just happen to live, so to speak, on the wrong side of the tracks.

Furthermore, I think that it's not so much that you have come to any sort of intellectual conclusion about when life does or does not begin. I just think it's more that you really don't care. It's not something that has a direct effect on you, so your attitude is one of convenience and indifference. The unborn can't call in to your show to complain, so, in your thinking, they simply are irrelevant. It's only my opinion, but I believe I am right.

It's disheartening when people don't care about people. To quote Dr. Seuss: " A person is a person no matter how small."

You won’t be able to throw me into that stack of ninnies who write and say, "I'll never listen again." I'll continue to do so. You have so much of value to relate and I have learned so much from you. I enjoy both your rapier wit and venomous tongue. (I'm a bit of a malapert myself.)

So, I’ll continue listening. I’ll laugh when I agree and pray for you when I don’t.

Your show definitely is one of the best! Of course, your no Rush Limbaugh, but, then again, that’s why he’s the “Godfather.”

Sincerely yours,

A Somewhat Loyal Listener
