You’ve always been an icon that I refference in classes on cultural tolerance and the essence of social change. Your stand against the war and responsible behavior will forever be part of my lectures.
Less importantly, at the time you were tried and confined, I was serving in VietNam as an Officer in the U.S.Army. I was an active combatant in Special Operations. I also maintained a news record of your fight. My file was discovered and I was punished for my allegence to your rights.
Today though, I couldnot disagree more with you.
It’s as though you criticize Clinton for changing. That she has to honor a mandate for statis. If you wish to speak out in disagreement with her, please do so. It would though set the example and establish a less hysterical tone for the debate if you were to confine your remarks to issues facing the electorate today than castigating Hillary for changing.
Racism is hatred and I abhor it. But … the reality is that Bubba’s ‘ole-lady’ can’t be prevented from voting for Hillary, but there is no way in the world that she will choose Barry over John McCain. That sir is a reality and indictment of her & Bubba, not Barry. I’ve said my piece. That’s why although I agree with Barry Obama on goals & objectives and have unlimited respect for his values and perceptive intuition on issues of race & culture … I will coontinue to support Clinton in the face of these realities.
I can’t condem ‘Bubba-Anne’ as a racist if she sees McCain as a war hero. Until he started his slide into depravity, I admired Captain McCain for his service and independence. These are qualities that appeal strongly to Mr & Mrs Bubba - especially when their ‘hero’, Hagee endorses McCain.
