[Vision2020] [Vision2020 liberals, courts, and Tony (was Pledge)

[Tony]

Saundra, you failed to accurately assess my intent in using the term RAGHEAD 
last time I explained it to you and you continue to show a lack of 
appreciation for diversity by refusing to consider the different perspective 
of some Americans post 911.  As I told you, I was referring to those 7th 
century, bomb throwing radicals like Osama Bin Raghead.  I have nothing 
against the average law abiding and peaceful Muslim.

I did forget our discussion of the other week when posting last night and 
apologize for any resulting confusion, but trust you are able to understand 
the rage of those Americans who are thus affected by the events of 911.

If it helps to put my feelings in their proper perspective, I might point 
out that I regard those of my own race who thieve from others and loaf 
instead of working as white trash.  My meaning in using such terms is to 
condemn them for their BEHAVIOR, not the COLOR of their SKIN.  You are of 
course free to disagree with my judgment in this matter, but my motives 
should by now be plain.

Do have a pleasant Christmas. -T
