Documenting history as it happens.
See my letter to the Attorney General, attached.
It’s a shame I felt afraid to send this letter to the Attorney General via the Justice Department. I know I took a risk in doing so. So why would I do it? Why would I care so much?
Essentially, it’s due to the same reasoning behind all of my decision-making. In the political realm, there are facts and ideas, and then there are opinions about those facts and ideas. I have my own opinions about facts and ideas (sometimes, I even have my own ideas!) and, occasionally, I adamantly disagree with others on the issues at hand, as I see their opinions as aiding and abetting in the destruction of America. I am willing to fight, however, for other’s right to their opinions. This is the framework of democracy in America, still a beacon of liberty, and still a beacon of hope, the context of which was played out in the 2008 Presidential election.
In defense of our inalienable rights, which Jefferson defined as ”life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” (discussed in greater detail throughout this site), it is my duty to defend American lives first, for without life, you don’t have many civil liberties, much less a pursuit of happiness, at least on this planet. That’s why I found it important enough to send this letter. I disagree with certain opinions that are distorting facts and ideas, and consequently endanger American lives. For that reason, I took this risk. Now, obviously, if they want to come after me, they can, but I mean no harm to anyone, and in fact, am working to protect the lives of those whom I have differences with.
Ultimately, I think my reasoning is justified.
Share on FacebookYou quoted some of the first words of the document that Mr. Jefferson “compiled”. The last ones, I believe contain the statement “we pledge our Lives, our Fortune and our Sacred Honor.” As these folk had more to lose than you or I do, it becomes necessary for us to take a stand. Thanks for your stand.
