Sirs and Madams:
You have made a very wise decision by refusing to air the United Church of Christ advertisement.
The words, "liberty", "freedom", "equality", and "free speech" are no longer of any importance in the United States. It is far more important to avoid offending the "Executive Branch".
There was a time when I would have asked if you were Bigots or Hypocritical Cowards. But, these days, we all understand that you must bow down to George W. Bush and advance his political agenda. To do otherwise would be a very stupid mistake, indeed. This is not a time for courage. This is a time for all of us to conform to the behavioral norms of Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and their evangelical brethren. They won the election and now all of us must obey them.
Do not be surprised if liberals and progressives in the United States and the rest of the world rise up against you. They are a truly sad lot who don't understand we have no choice in these matters and our only option is to obey George W. Bush.
You should put all fears that the United States is starting to resemble Nazi Germany out of your mind. It would be disloyal to think such a thing. Resistance is futile and dangerous. Just remember how many members of the French Resistance in World War II died for the foolish idea that they could fight the inevitable advance of moral and racial purification.
Here's a link to a website that is planning to mount an attack on your company. You should notify George W. Bush so that he can shut them down before they cause any further harm to Mr. Bush or to his program of moral purification: www.RadioLeft.com
It is truly pitiful that these Radio Left people actually believe they can oppose the united advance of the neo-conservatives and the evangelicals. They refer to our new masters as "theo-fascists" which, even though accurate, is not a smart thing to say. Facts and science are no longer relevant in this new age of allegiance to belief and ideology.
Just to show you how subversive these people are, they actually have the following quotes posted on their website:
“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”
Martin Niemoeller
"The national government will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis of our collective morality. Today Christians stand at the head of our country. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit. We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theatre, and in the press-- in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of LIBERAL excess during the past years."
Adolf Hitler
Don't worry too much about the liberals and progressives in the United States or about world opinion. You have sided with power and that is all that counts in George W. Bush' America. You will be rewarded for protecting us from the evils of diversity and inclusivity. We will all be happier if we keep hellfire and retribution foremost in our minds and forget the outmoded "liberal" concepts of Christian love and charity."Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship... voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
Hermann Goering
