David Horowitz the bastard
I keep deleteing my e-mail from that far-right son of a bitch David Horowitx, but I STILL get e-mails from him.

Here's his latest:

Dear Freedom Center Supporter,

The radical, hate-America Left never quits. Nearly every good, decent American tradition or organization is under ferocious attack. These radicals want blood. They want to shred and destroy every vestige of our conservative society.

Today these ultra-leftists are focused on the men and women who have proudly served in our armed forces.

The Freedom Center is joining in another legal battle against the ACLU. This time it's the ACLU's attack on the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Here's the background: In 1934, a California VFW chapter created a tribute honoring Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. On that memorial, the VFW raised a cross - not as a religious symbol, but as a secular monument for people to see and recognize the bravery and love of country their colleagues had for America. The cross was placed on Sunrise Rock in a remote area in California's Mojave Desert, in what is now a federal preserve.

Frank Buono first saw the cross in 1995 when he was working in the area. He later moved to Oregon and planned to move back to the Mojave Desert (in 2001) - where he could see the memorial from a nearby road. Buono decided the cross had to go. He contacted the ACLU, which readily took his case.

For nearly 70 years, the cross on the VFW's powerful, compassionate memorial to fallen American soldiers stood in silent tribute. In an instant, one man and a radical leftist organization decided 0to wipe it out.

The VFW lost in the lower courts, and the case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Freedom Center is going to jump into this legal battle to support the VFW's efforts to continue to display the cross. Will you help us today? Will you make a contribution of $25, $50, $100 or even $250 to our Individual Rights Foundation Legal Fund?

You have long supported the Freedom Center and our legal arm, the Individual Rights Foundation (IRF). You know well the tactics of the rabid leftists who want to erase any evidence of America's proudest traditions or organizations. Witness the endless attacks on the Boy Scouts of America, for example.

Now the ACLU and people like Frank Buono are displaying their open contempt for our men and women in uniform.

So, I readily agreed to have the IRF prepare yet another powerful argument against yet another ACLU attack. But I need your support.

We have a chance to make a difference here. In fact, the Freedom Center's legal team is fighting the radical left on a number of fronts:
The Freedom Center is fighting to protect the First Amendment rights of Joe Kaufman, who has been critical of Muslim terrorists and has a web site dedicated to exposing radical Islamic terrorists. He is being sued by Islamic groups who want to shut him up. The IRF is working diligently to defend Joe Kaufman.

Boy Scouts of America troops across the nation are routinely sued by the ACLU and other groups that want to tear this great organization apart. The IRF has provided a number of "friends of the court" briefs in these cases. With your help we will continue to do so.

Bottom line: Your support makes all the difference. We simply would not be able to challenge these radicals - and protect America's fundamental rights - without the dedicated financial support of Americans like you.

So, please, follow this link to make am immediate contribution to our Individual Rights Legal Defense Fund!

Thank you again for all of your help - your courageous support! Because of your unselfishness, I'm able to take the fight straight into the trenches against the radical Left. It's because of you the Freedom Center is making a difference in the war for our culture, for our American way of life.

Sincerely,

David Horowitz

3. And jackasses like him would explode in rage if someone put a Muslim symbol on their grave
"A cross? What's wrong with a cross? That's just secular and regular and respectful."

"A crescent and star? Why do you hate America? Don't push your religious crap on me!!!!! You're violating my rights as an American!!!"




And they don't see that there is a problem with holding both thoughts.

5. Their hate and sense of self-righteousness have blinded them to reason.
I wouldn't be surprised it the right wing doesn't have it's own cottage industry of Meth-Amphetamine Labs? The preferred drug of hate mongers.

:wow:

4. since it's an entirely secular cross...
...I propose a settlement: change the cross to an unambiguous secular symbol. How about this one?

6. There is no circumstance in which the cross is NOT a religious symbol.
As i see it the VFW has two choices - remove the cross and replace it with a non-religious symbol such as an obelisk (OK, that's religious too, but nobody worships the ancient egyptian pantheon anymore) or move the memorial to private land.

Either of those moves would actually support the ideals that those veterans died for.

8. I'm a "Life member" and have complained about and TO the VFW for years
over their wingnuttiness, mixing military past with politics. I only stomached about half of a-hole HOROWITZ's crap, but "a cross" is NOT "religious"?!1 HAH!1

9. All these RW orgs do is raise money. I can't believe they still find people
stupid enough to give it to them.
