Message-ID: <86@decwrl.UUCP> Date: Thu, 22-Aug-85 10:20:32 EDT Article-I.D.: decwrl.86 Posted: Thu Aug 22 10:20:32 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 24-Aug-85 19:32:34 EDT Sender: daemon@decwrl.UUCP Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 47 Gentlepeople: It came to my attention indirectly today that some of you out there seem to think that myself and one of my co-workers here at DEC are a couple of (explitive meaning " anal pore".) Well, I suppose you're all entitled to your personal opinions. Just as I am entitled to mine, and Ken is entitled to his. There are laws in this land which protect Freedom of Speech, Expression, Association, Press, and Religion, to name a few. I personally am dedicated to preserving those freedoms, not just for myself as some have charged, but also for Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Moslems, Greeks, Irish, Poles, etc., etc. In short, what's good for one is good for all. Like it or not. There are groups of you out there that are obviously not so dedicated. I don't care. I'll argue for your rights just as loudly. But don't ever try to say that somebody else has no right to speak, because I'll be down on you like a sack of cow paddies. I take some pretty unpopular stands on various topics. If you don't like it, "tough cookies." This country wasn't built on cowardice or yellow ribbons. What we need to keep it free is a little more national pride and less communistic Internationalism. These various nets are obviously dominated by Left-wing Liberals who worship people like the Hero of Chappiquiddic. It seems they can't stand a little Right-wing opposition. Aawww, too bad! I've cracked a few Ivory Towers! It's fun, believe me. It gives all you poor sheltered college students a taste of what the Real World is like. I'm just one little voice---on the other side of the ivy is a million of us, three million if you count the NRA, and thirty million if you count all the firearms owners. So you don't like the concepts of Christian Identity? Hold on and I'll send you a dime so you can call your chaplain. The Christian Identity movement is big enough to include groups such as the Worldwide Church of God and the Mormons, not to mention the various smaller splinter churches and other individuals. But if you ask a certain group of 5,781,000 people, most of whom practice absolutely no religion, we're all a bunch of Nazis. I don't have to teach the Jews who the Chosen People are---they already know. It's becoming easier and easier to convince Christians. So sleep well tonight, one and all. We probably don't have too many more left. --Don Black
