jrl;

I beg to differ with you on quite a few counts in you recent missive
against 'liberals and bleeding hearts'.

	1.  I am a WASP and have the papers to prove it.  I don't like
	    being lumped into a classification of narrow minded, paranoid,
	    bigots.  I am sure that if one looked hard enough, one would
	    find an 'unpure' race in your 'aryan' background.  Why don't 
	    you use the word 'Aryan', since it is connotative of what
	    you are trying to establish in the United States; a dictatorship
	    based on the supremacy of your particular class; it suited
	    Hitler well.
	    
	2.  Alas, the ACLU feels that you have the right to *say* anything
	    you want.  Remember the Nazi demonstrations in Skokie Ill.?
	    You do watch the news? There must be some newspaper which 
	    matches your political philosophy.
	    
	3.  How would the acceptance of alternative (oh dear, jargon) 
	    lifestyles lead to the "docility" of the masses?  I suppose
	    if you mean we won't be slaughtering those we feel are
	    different or inferior to us, that would be a bit quieter.
	    
	4.  Your 'reduced to absurdity' argument against social
	    programs (...we are giving your share to some homosexuals....)
	    doesn't even come close to making sense.  Read something on
	    the psychology of group dynamics.  It is very hard for a 
	    large group to act in a totally absurd manner.
	    
	5.  "Granted, some of it goes to the military..."(comma is mine).
	     Now, exactly what *did* you mean by that statement?  That you
	     approve of some of your money going to the military? That you
	     would be quite content if the 36% of your salary went entirely
	     to the military?  Or that you have accepted the presence of 
	     the military as a necessary evil?	Did you know that the 
	     income tax is a relatively recent phenomena?  If, for example,
	     during the civil war (war between the states), the army
	     needed something from you, they would take it.  Maybe you
	     would be repaid; probably not.
	     
	6.   Beyond all your faulty rhetoric, sir or madam, you are a coward.
	     You scream your beliefs over the net, and refuse to reveal
	     yourself.	At least the so-called 'bleeding heart liberals' and
	     'faggots and dykes' have the moral integrity to sign their
	     names.  You are a human without honour.
