Open Letter to Senator Cantwell

RE: Religious tolerance in the United States, and other basic issues.

Senator Cantwell,
My ONLY religious tolerance concern is MY CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE BEING ATTACKED, RESTRICTED, AND BEING USED AS A SKAPE-GOAT FOR EVERYTHING WRONG IN OUR SOCIETY.
Here is a good example from your own office...

"As you may know, a Pentagon investigation of the religious climate at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs found evidence that officers and faculty members failed to accommodate the religious needs of non-Christian cadets and used their positions to promote their Christian beliefs." Taken from your own e-mail message to me.

See what I’m saying…if a Christian speaks out then we must be doing something against all others, such as promoting our own beliefs.  (Excuse me?  Have our rights been removed and not been told?  Why is it every other belief can speak their minds and it’s permissible, yet when we do it;  “HOLY SHIT!   CALL A COP!”
By the way, I didn't write you about their infringing on non-Christians.  I wrote you that ALL CADETS...NO MATTER WHAT THEIR BELIEFS, SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO VOICE THOSE BELIEFS WITHOUT INTIMIDATION FROM ANY SOURCE; INCLUDING THE ACLU, HOUSE, SENATE, AND THE WHITE HOUSE, OR ANY OTHER WHACKO-ENEMY OF PERSONAL FREEDOMS (ESPECIALLY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS).  

As usual, the so-called representatives of the people (like yourself) conveniently twist what the populace wants into something distorted and worthless while raising your salaries and expenses along with a nice fat pension and health benefits that you all make sure we do without while handing us the bills.  You run up the national debt, strip us of our rights and feed us lies and we're suppose to just take it.  Well I won't!  I'll bitch and complain till I die and fight for what our founders set into motion.  I will not sit back idly and watch it all be turned Fascist, Socialist, Communist or a Dictatorship.  I won't sit back and allow the highest offices in our country be bought and sold and elitists finagle a cast system of involuntary slavery for the almighty profit margin.  I'm sick to death of being lied to.  I'm fed up with fighting wars for oil, or for some male ego's pissing contest.

I believe Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ and I will die upholding my belief.  I've been silent and watching what's been happening in this country and I am fed up to the hilt.  You politicians better start working for us Americans; we won't be silent forever.

We were kind enough to open our doors to other countries to come and join us in our American dream; we didn't say we were going to allow all our beliefs to be cast aside for those newcomers.  They came here because they liked the idea of freedom; so don't be a party to stripping those freedoms from ANY of us.

I may not agree with what any person says or does, but BY GOD I WILL ALLOW THEM THEIR BELIEFS AND THE RIGHT TO SPEAK THEM.  In turn, I EXPECT THE SAME RIGHTS TO SPEAK OUT MY BELIEFS AND NOT HAVE TO BE TREATED LIKE A PERIAH BECAUSE I DON'T AGREE OR GOOSE-STEP TO SOMEONE ELSES BELIEFS.  Yes, this is the basic premise of the Golden Rule, and the Golden Rule works both ways.  

Political correctness, nationality, ethnic and race tracking is nothing but bullshit.  I have a right to call someone a name and be called a name.... it toughens people to be able to deal with un-pleasantries that happen in life.  I have a right to make fun of someone and be made fun of.... especially when it helps people learn to laugh at themselves.  We are all loosing our senses of humor because of it.  Ethnic affiliations are fine; each and every one of them, but why do we have to be constantly asked: what color skin we have, or what race we are?  Hello!  All we males and females are the human race.  If we were otherwise we'd be in a zoo.

So, for now I’ll let you chew over what I’ve said.  

I don’t want lip service I want action.  And you can start by preventing Tom DeLay from getting his pension or salary; because, he is a convicted felon and doesn’t disserve special treatment.  If I did what he did, I’d be in prison.  You all made an example of Martha Stewart.  Did she get equal treatment or was she judged under a different legal system?   You all allowed Newt Gingrich to get away with a crime and baled him out so he didn’t have to go to jail for breaking the law.  What makes them above the law?  

I’ll be watching and I vote in EVERY election on EVERY issue.
