ears and their hands over their eyes.

It is far too late for that, and it is WAAAAY too late to fail to notice the straight line running right back through Bushler, Cheney, and their bunch to the 1960s KKK murderers (well the bunch that didn't get their own hands dirty, but ordered others to commit murder and oother atrocities) and to the 1870s Bushie NeoRebConfederates killing all the Yankee Liberals and Uppity Nigras they could get their hands on for a half-century or more.

Clearly, you have some love or attachment to the Old Confederacy. Fine. As a Jew, I feel much the same towards Israel. But I will not deny the reality that, as Israel allies itself further with Bushies and further uses Bushie tactics on it's enemies, that my unquestioning support (I am not anti-Israel either, but have moved to the fence, as it were) must be reexamined.

You love the Old Confederacy, it sounds like. I spent much of my childhood admiring it, as well. The martial brilliance of Lee and Jackson was astonishing, and the fact that they held out for four years against an overwhelmingly superior military force is a story of courage and detemination, at least until one realizes what they were fighting for.

But I cannot and will not ignore the reality of who they are and what they did before during and after the War, and all the way to the 1960s that still exists in the massive Minority Vote Suppression campaigns the Bushies successfully wage everywhere, but especially in the Old Bushie Rebfederacy.

And I won't chill out. This is no more the time to chill out that 1937 Germany was for a Jew. And I WON'T apologize for reality.
