Agree to disagree There are times in our lives when we just receive confirmation that we are on the right track, that we are doing what is right. Fortunately I was blessed to receive such confirmation in the form of a response to my latest political manifesto as my cousin likes to call them entitled … AND THE ENEMY ISN’T HERE? (Thanks to one and all who have read any of these) I truly had it on my heart that my next ranting email was to be about our nations inability to disagree with one another any more, and how this is yet another device of the socialist as they have ever so purposefully executed what a certain DJ on Long Island likes to call the Wussification of America. With the clear and malicious intent of putting an end to all discussions and dialogs, which will in turn, lessen the resistance to their global socialist utopian revolution agendas for us. My thinking is this; it has become (not by accident) politically incorrect to disagree. Should anyone have a difference in opinion then you on any topic, why then you should just simply stop talking to that person. Or see them as somehow inferior to your intellect and therefore insult them, which is your right as a compassionate liberal to do
so. I was really going to leave it at that, but as has happened when examining those who see things differently then I, the onion has many, many layers. I received this response to my last email in which I contest that I said nothing but this: 1) Socialism is evil 2) There is no greater threat to our way of life then socialism. 3) Socialism leads to totalitarianism 4) Obama is a socialist 5) Oh by the way here is a list of people and associations that he has had, and still has. And 6) here is for you a list of documents he has refused to provide for us. Now I defy anyone to read what I wrote and find any thing else but that. To that end I receive this response, which I leave below for your perusement. Received Sunday morning 10/19/8
It's official you are a rightwing tool (and yes I am replying to all because I would actually like to here back from anyone out there who agrees with your bullshit). Your hatred of Barack Obama proves what I new all along, you are not a true Christian. Instead you are a typicial right wing hate monger, who claims to believe in the teachings of
Jesus Christ, while preaching the rhetoric of those who he spoke out against while he was alive. Yes, those who preach hatred for another and exclusion of those who don't look like themselves. So I am about to do some praying of my own. I pray that the people of this great country overwhelmingly elect Barack Obama and that the 25 percent of you out there that still believe Bush is doing a good job become the minorities of the 21st Century, while the rest of us live out the ideals and preachings of the real Jesus Christ. The ideals and preachings that were born out of living in a tim e where the Roman Empire was using cheap labor and large armies to conquer its neighbors, steal their resources and enslave their people, while allowing their own working class and the poor to die on the vine. History always repeats itself because humans are humans. The question is will the rest of this country answer its true call, overcome the fears that your type try to instill in us and rise to the occassion or will our empire go the way of all those that came before it. I pray for all of our souls (yes even you 25%) that the former is the case. First off I would like to thank you sir for not only reading what I wrote, but also responding to it. Any and all discussion is a good thing; it is of the up most importance that we keep up the dialog.
Many of you may just see this letter as no big deal, just someone I have managed to tick off and that I get a kick out of it. All is true, however there is so much danger lurking in this letter. Lets take a look shall we… Insults aside, look inside; look at the words, words he chose, remember now, words mean things: “Your hatred of Barack Obama”. “you are not a true Christian.” “typicial rightwing hate monger” “preach hatred for another” “exclusion of those who don't look like themselves.” “still believe… become the minorities of the 21st Century” “Roman Empire” “the fears that your type try to instill” “our empire”
Now I fully understand that these words have been pulled out so the author will naturally defend himself and say that these remarks were taken out of context, which is why I provided the context above it for your reading pleasure. These words written by a person I still consider a friend prove my point. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH BARACK OBAMA YOU WILL BE SILENCED. Because if you dare disagree, then you are either: a hate monger, a fear monger, a racist, an imperialist, a nationalist, or some how not Christian. Now I am more then willing to give this author and everyone the benefit of the doubt with the exception of Obama and those mentioned in the last essay tugging at his strings that we all care about and want to help those who need it. I firmly believe that those who disagree with me truly have others’ interests in mind and are of goodwill and good intent. Answer me this though, why then do “MY TYPE”
and I not receive the very same benefit of the doubt? Why Sir, do you ASSUME MY TYPE and I do not care for those in need? Why Sir, do you ASSUME that MY TYPE and I have only the interests of those you have decided to vilify in mind? I’ll tell you why, because for far too long MY TYPE, and I have not stood up for ourselves and have allowed you sir to simply exercise your prejudice against us by prejudging myself and MY TYPE time and time again. You ASSUME that just because we don’t’ see it as you do that we must lack in compassion, and caring, and simply do not give a hoot for anyone but ourselves. Well sir, it stops here and it stops now. I will no longer simply roll over and accept your perverted version of our intentions and conclusions. You will show “ MY TYPE” and me the same respect we show you, if not enjoy your hatred of me because I have no place for it in my heart and denounce it here and now and urge you to join me in doing the same. Rather then saying to yourself, maybe this guy and “HIS TYPE” truly believe that what they are doing is best, you chose of your own free will to make me out to be the villain, just as you have of capitalism and just as your leader has of our nation itself.
Sir this too stops here and this stops now. We care for everyone same as you, we just have different, and better solutions on how to help then you. It is not a lack of compassion on either of our parts that is missing, it is that we believe that it is up to us where as you believe that it is up to the government. I encourage the rest of MY TYPE to stand up to this prejudice and no longer allow it to simply be said and brushed under the rug as though they have a monopoly of caring for others. I encourage all of you to stand with me, and know that I will stand with you… Truth is there has been no greater exploiter of the underclass then the liberal/socialist. They purposefully perpetuate not only an underclass but are bent on securing that we live in a caste system society where they mite have an unlimited amount of proletariat to chose from to fight the evils of capitalism. It is their promises of government imposed charities, and their indoctrination of distain for capitalism, individualism, and America itself that continuously refuels their industrial socialistic complex. Do you not deny, that you sir, see America as that evil Roman Empire described in your response to me? Cause Sir certainly I do not, I see America as the light of the world, bright as ever, a light of hope, good will, and charity
willing to sacrifice on the highest for not only our freedoms but the freedoms of strangers. And I make no apologies, and offer no regrets, I simply unconditionally love her. It is you sir and those who agree with you that have for generations kept the African Americans down with affirmative action and welfare. It you sir; that are using them and any other members of the underclass to achieve and maintain your seats on the thrown, you need your underclass to promote your agendas therefore you would never ever to anything to jeopardize loosing any of them, from grasps of the government. A liberal/socialist without an underclass is powerless. MY TYPE sees blessings and hope when there is opportunity provided and guaranteed by our government to improve through hard work and determination from where one was born into. You chose to preach that people are stuck as victims of an unjust society determined to keep them down. You sir whether it be unknowingly or purposefully are just echoing the ideals and beliefs as is being indoctrinated into the minds of the inner city youths of Chicago by none other then Mr. Ayers. You agree to this? Your sure now? You stand with Bill Ayers? We know why it is that our philosophies are of such a
great threat to you, and cause such anger in you. If we give a hand up and free those who truly need it from the government then you loose your control. It is the same reason Christianity is the enemy of socialism worldwide. Christianity offers freedom through choice and free will from this world and it bondage. It is our ideals of individualism, excellence and independence that contradict your ideals of socialism, well roundedness, and reliance all of which by the way go against human design (not evolution) itself. We have all been made specifically, individually for a purpose, all unique. Socialism itself goes against that very law of how we were created. Why would MY TYPE wish to keep anyone down? Where is the benefit in that? If others who don’t look like me stay down and remain in the under class then they are earning less for society and costing me more, why in the world would anyone think that this is what we want for anyone? Strictly from economic point of view it does not any make sense. So to play the greed card is futile. Just because I feel that we are responsible for ourselves does not mean that I wish others to do poorly, or suffer in anyway. You and those who agree have taken this
liberty with us for the final time. Now just because I see Obama and others like him for who they are, I am called a hate monger. Here in lies the danger. First, you are no longer aloud to say anything, about anyone. No matter, if what you are saying is the truth, you are a hate monger. Well how convenient for you then it must be to deflect any fact about Obama and throw it back at me. So it is me who is hateful, not the terrorists, murderers, criminals, racists, socialists, Islamic fundamentalists, wife he pals around with, it’s me Scotty Bonner that is the enemy… Riiiiggghhhht… Second, when a person is said to be mongering hate it will sooner rather then later, purposefully evolve into a hate crime. I will be arrested and charged with a hate crime for even uttering, for example that Obama has spent his life associating with the likes of: terrorists, criminals, murderers, socialists, racists, radical Islamic fundamentalists, and his wife. If asking a man to explain his history and connections that lead to his ideals and philosophies that will undoubtedly affect my son’s life as hate, is to in fact change
the definition of hate itself to fit your very needs. And make no mistake his needs, his intentions are clear, to silent the opposition to silence me, and MY TYPE. By calling what I do hate is no different then telling a preacher that if he says that homosexuality is a sin then he will be arrested and charged with a hate crime. What? No way!!! What is this, the Soviet Union? Don’t we have freedom of speech? Think I’m kidding?
http://www.lc.org/pressrelease/2007/nr071207.htm Ted Kennedy almost succeeded in putting in a hate crime amendment into a defensespending bill, which stated that if anyone whether it be at the pulpit or anywhere else was caught saying that homosexuality was a sin that they were to be arrested and charged with a hate crime. This time Senator McCain caught wind of it and stopped it, but what do you think will happen when they have control of both houses and the Presidency. This “hate crime” legislation will slip into another bill and be signed into law. Then when someone else they don’t agree with comes along and says something else they don’t agree with (like asking Mr. Obama to provide a birth certificate) they will
call it hate mongering just as you have sir and, they will have not only precedence but a “moral obligation” to silence little ‘ole me. So think before you accuse someone of mongering hate. Just because I don’t wish to be thrown into a pit of lions does not mean I hate lions; it just means that I don’t wish to be torn limb from limb. There is a big difference between asking questions of a public official's past and hate, and if you continue to blur the two you are in effect removing any opposition from expressing their feelings about the candidate in question. You disagree? You’re a racist. You disagree? You’re a hate monger. You disagree? You’re a fear monger. You disagree? You are not a true Christian. Who is the resistance now? What you are in fact saying Sir is that I and everyone else should just disregard the FACT that Obama has spent his life surrounded by these people. And, that by demanding answers from a person that I am interviewing for the most important job in the world is hate mongering, fear mongering, racist, imperialistic, nationalistic, and again some how not Christian? You are sir telling me to keep
quiet are you not? Just want to make sure I understand what you are saying that you believe in. If I misinterpreted your words in any way please here is your chance, correct me. What should you have me do, not ask these questions? Turn a blind eye and deaf ear to this? Not demand at least his college thesis? Is it not only my civic duty but also responsibility as a parent to ask questions of a man who wishes to be my son’s CommanderInChief? Are you serious? How could you possibly not ask these questions of a man you wish to see rule our nation yourself? It is your hatred of Bush, me, and MY TYPE that has blinded you so much so that when someone like me comes along and exposes light to the situation you have no other response but to belittle and franticly attempt to put the light out, for fear of what it will expose. Does not everyone find it awfully peculiar that there was not one single attempt to dismiss or explain why our author here chooses to support this man knowing his history? Instead he chose to write about me. Me? You project this anger towards me because you know darn well that these things that I am asking everyone to
consider are true and you don’t want to have to deal with the fact that you are of your own free will supporting a man of such character. So rather then face yourself you use me as a punching your bag because, you are the one supporting the guy who said, this "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides, There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a warlike message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. "We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love.” He then went on to say, “ My wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine". From a Sunday's Televised episode on Sept. 7th 2008 of “Meet the Press”. This is the hoarse your backing, not me pal… I would fight till my very last breath for your right to disagree with me, and therein lie our fundamental difference. I don’t fear what you may say about my ideals, my beliefs, or me because I am standing on a rock. Where as for you, judging by your response you not only fear me,
but seem to dislike me, simply because I disagree with you. That is your choice you deal with it, but I have nothing against you. I love when I receive a letter from anyone who disagrees with me. We need to not be afraid to disagree there is nothing wrong with different opinions and viewpoints. I am in no way advocating for one voice, what I am advocating for is dialog and discussion, before we wake up one day in a Soviet Socialized State. Quelling an argument by accusations of hate are done for one reason and one reason only: You do not want to hear anyone else’s voice but your own, and any dissenting opinion must be shot down before it is ever heard, for it may actually contain the truth, the truth that he has and still associates with, terrorists, criminals, murders, racists, socialists, Islamic fundamentalists, and his wife, and who wants to face that? Freedom of speech and all of our freedoms are under attack when a man like myself cannot question the back ground of another man asking to be my President without being accused of hate mongering. I hope you can all see just a little glimpse into our
future with this letter I received from this gentleman. The enemy is here I tell you!!! BEWARE OF THE STATE… Don’t you see what you sir, have done by accusing me of “hate”? You have done their bidding. You are giving them a reason to silence me. Perhaps you think that would not be such a bad idea? Na I doubt it, although we disagree I don’t think you wish to silence me, but whether you like it or not that is exactly what you are contributing to. And that is where the danger lies.
I say to you from the bottom of my heart thank you, for as your type always does, you have proven my point. I ask you here and now do you wish to silence me? If not you should immediately retract your statement that I in any way shape or form mongered any hate of any kind towards Barack Obama. And you should immediately state that I did nothing more then say: socialism is evil, there is no greater threat to our way of life then socialism, Obama is a socialist, and he needs to answer for these connections, and provide the documentation we deserve to see. If you fail to do so then you are willingly contributing
to the death of our freedom of speech and our society… It’s not personal, just business…
Love Scotty P.S. Have a Nice Day !!
