Mr. Weinstein:
Shame on you for attacking Franklin Graham and having his invitation to the Pentagon Prayer Breakfast rescinded. “Woe to you, hypocrites and scribes.” ”Salt is good; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltness be restored? It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill; men throw it away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” (Luke 14:34ff)
In the modern era, it would seem only the ‘politically correct’ have free speech. The rest of us are ‘hate mongers’ and are to be suppressed… no doubt before we’re shipped off somewhere TBD (Boston?? San Francisco??) for ‘re-education.’ Nazis did it; soviets did it; Vietnamese did it; Saudis do it (talk about a culture that stifles freedom of religion!); Taliban just cut off your head. In fact, all repressive regimes did/do it. Religious and political leaders who are faithful to their convictions and who have to courage to observe that ‘something doesn’t smell quite right’ are always among the first to go.
You don’t silence those who see things differently by denying them a platform. You only silence those who ideas and beliefs can be to be in error (i.e., non-factual; untrue). It is neither unloving nor un-Christian to call a spade a spade. It is what it is.
Scary when our sworn enemies’ rights not to hear the inconvenient truth trump true patriots rights to be heard!
