[Vision2020] Donkey Brains on the Palouse and in the White House

[DonaldH675 at aol.com]

Visionaries:

Sean clearly doesn't know me if he thinks for a moment that I employ any 
strategy to avoid confronting an aggressor.  (Perhaps he confuses me with that 
wily tactician, Doug Wilson.)  

It is my sense that who or for what a person chooses to fight for 
(figuratively or literally) informs others about what matters to them.  We know for whom 
and for what reasons Robert E. Lee resigned his commission and took up arms 
against the Union.  Sean and Ted Ryan, please don't regurgitate the tired old 
States Rights defense -- that dog won't hunt anywhere north of Monroe, LA.  

Regardless of how Lee's "virtues" are proclaimed by Neo-Confederates and 
other donkey brains, his treatment of human beings nullifies, in my mind, any 
claim made on his behalf.  Even Hitler was nice to his dog -- do you think the 
Humane Society will be giving little talks on dog grooming and obedience training 
featuring photos snapped at Berchtesgaden?  

For goodness sakes, this is not rocket science -- move along folks.  Let's 
talk about some real problems, like the increase in the poverty level in this 
county since that compassionate conservative George Bush stole the last 
election.  (A contemporary example of how anyone can attribute virtue where virtue is, 
in fact, lacking.)  You know George isn't going to bed hungry -- unlike 
several million children in this country.  That conversation is bound to lead to 
more useful dialogue and helpful action than trying to resuscitate the 
reputation of a dead slave owner.

just too many of them. But you can do something, and the difference between 
doing something and doing nothing is everything." Daniel Berrigan
