The Reverend Martin Woulfe’s rebuttal to the previous Saturday’s opinion piece was as effective in its gentleness as it was powerful in its subtlety.

Speaking of youth:
Since I don’t know Gail (“one-way-ticket-out-of-this-great-country’) Miller, I don’t know how old she (or he) is. If she is young enough, she has no recollection of the ‘’America: love it or leave it mentality” of the Vietnam era. I remember it vividly. “America: love it or leave it” was an ignorant and desperate slogan then; reviving it now is merely pathetic.
Dissent, as Miller and all other patriotic Americans should be aware, is the cornerstone of the freedom she cherishes. By condemning those who dare to question this administration or any administration, she commits an act of astonishing hypocrisy.
Or was Miller’s letter an exercise in sarcasm and satire?

ash submitted this letter long before conceiving of a website. Lacking foresight, she failed to save the article to which she refers:
Richard Reeves eloquently illuminates what I’ve been thinking for a long time. Democrats and liberals don’t “create” class warfare; they merely point out what the other side has waged.
Kingdoms achieve perpetuity by depending on mass ignorance and gullibility. Happy, appeased peasants don’t revolt. I believe this is precisely the point of Mr. Reeves’ article, that democracy can too easily be sacrificed by convincing enough people to ridicule those who question our “leaders.”

Actually, homophobia can be classified as a mental illness, by virtue of (unlike other phobias, or irrational fears) the percentage of cases in which it triggers anti-social or criminal behavior. Not a high percentage of individuals are afflicted with this distorted perception of reality, only relative to other phobias.
