LETTER

In days of old when knights were bold, the King's word was law. In days anew when knights are few, any judge's word is law. Any words whatsoever by any five shysters on the Supreme Court is the U.S. Constitution and supreme law of the land, from which there is no possible appeal ever, period. Nothing in any ancient document has anything to do with it.

The media and the leaders of the Democratic Party in both houses of Congress have proven by both word and deed that they would rather have their children and grandchildren grow up under a foreign dictator from China, North Korea or some Arab country than grow up in a so-called democratic United States under their own living Constitution. They seek to appoint, own and control the five shysters who will hold all political power.

I do not know how long the media has been rabidly anti-American, but they have been actively brainwashing the American people since LBJ was president. Eighty percent of the American people don't know this because they are not paying attention, or because it has been going on all their lives or before they were old enough to read.

I do not know the proper name for this propaganda but we might call it international atheist socialism.

I'm going to respond to this ill-informed North Georgian, but where can I find info on which Presidents (Dem or Pub) nominated each SCOTUS for the last 100 years or so? I'm sure, even if I pointed out that Pubs nominated most of them, it won't changed this guy's mind, but damn it, I have to try! This kind of attitude is why Ga. is RED!

1. Diebold is why GA is red. The American people aren't stupid, Georgians

aren't stupid. They're both disenfranchised.

[Benhurst]

4. While I agree with the main thrust of your argument,

I fear there are more than enough idiots scattered around the country to account for such letters to the editor.

[yellowdogintexas]

9. They are still mad about the Roosevelt court!!!!!

Never mind that all of them are DEAD!!!!! (as are all of the Eisenhower appointees and Kennedy and Johnson appointees.)

None of them have gotten over William O Douglas, the flaming liberal of all flaming liberals!!!

Does anyone remember the Gerald Ford (when he was Minority Leader) attempts to impeach William O Douglas?

[Another Bill C.]

3. Gosh, whoever would have thought there could be anyone

so ignorant and stupid in the Gainsville, Georgia, area. I thought we had a monoploy on such idiots up here.

7. You're probably correct. He was probably one of the

"Impeach Earl Warren" and "Get US Out of the UN" crowd. We used to be treated to billboards with those sentiments on them. We also used to have a Congressman, Larry McDonald, who was a national officer of the John Birch Society. Whatever happened to the JBS, anyway?

[Glorfindel]

8. I think the John Birch Society assimilated into the Repuke Party

since they stand for exactly the same things. Dr. McDonald would be considered fairly "moderate" nowadays, wouldn't he?
:sarcasm:

[yellowdogintexas]

11. The John Birch Society, the John Birch Society, fighting for the

right to fight the right fight for the right.

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.

14. They are now called Fundies. The strange thing about Warren was

that he was the architect of the internment plan in CA, and he would not recognize women attorney as anything other than legal secretaries. He was a Conservative's Conservative.

The old JBS and Klan are now the rock solid Conservative base. Most are Fundies. And they are getting bold down here. The old racial epitaphs are being to be used in public.

[Glorfindel]

6. I lived 99% of my life in north Georgia

in Gilmer County, just north of Jasper, from which the letter writer hails. He's actually fairly well-informed; at least he knows there is a Supreme Court and that five members of it can control its decisions. Trust me, most of his friends and neighbors are much more ignorant than that. They vote "Red" because they're (1) overwhelmingly racists and (2) overwhelmingly Southern Baptists. You can point out that 7 out of the 9 current justices were appointed by Repuke presidents or that 98% of ALL justices for the last 150 years were appointed by Repuke presidents. It won't change his thinking one bit. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING short of another Great Depression will wake these people up. The same thing goes for south Mississippi, where I currently reside, but at least here there are no icy roads and snowstorms to contend with.

12. Over the past thirty or forty years, though, the Atlanta area has

become increasingly populated by people from elsewhere, far too many of them conservative Republicans, tending to live primarily in Marietta/ Cobb County, and many of them now owning retirement or weekend homes in north Georgia. This letter writer could easily be one of them, neither a native Georgian nor a Southern Baptist. I won't say he's not a racist, because I've found that the people who move to Georgia from places like New York and Chicago are as likely to be racist as the people who were born and raised here -- that is, not all native Georgians are racists and neither are all the transplants to Georgia, but some of each group certainly are. I've now spent a bit more than half my life in Georgia but prior to that I lived all over. Georgia's like other places, North or South, you find both the good and the bad here.

[Solly Mack]

10. I sure don't miss that paper or the city

Left Gainesville 13 years ago and I've never missed it.

Good luck with your LTTE in response!!!!

[Toots]

13. I agree with the letter writer 100%

I am sure it was written by a Liberal about Roberts and the four hard right Extreme Court justices and the Democrats not fighting this man's nomination. The letter is right spot on.
