Tom Paine just commented at my Blogsite —Phyllis Chessler
THE COMMENTATOR (WHO WISHES TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS):
Phyllis, when it becomes more important to be seen on the “chic” side of an issue, rather than on the principled side of an issue, we have lost our way.
When it becomes more important to care about how we look to our friends, than how we stand by our ideals, we have lost our way.
When it becomes more “hip” to slander our country than to protect it from slander, then we have lost our way.
When we become convinced that being erudite means that we are narrow-minded and reactionary against any opinions but those acceptable to “academia”, we have lost our way.
When we become peer pressured into silence against rabid Jew hating, and it is more important that we are liked because we hold the “correct” opinions …than it is to say “Never Again”, we have lost our way.
When it is more important to ignore the hatred of Jewish existence, culture and statehood, than it is to embrace them, then we have lost our way.
When it is more important to be accepted by our liberal friends, than it is to be honorable about our country, our countrymen and our alliance with Israel, then we have lost our way.
When leftist ideology goes bad, when it leaves the path upon which we first so fervently believed in it…our choice is put before us. Is it more important to remain on a bad path so that people we know won’t condemn us, or is it more important to blaze a new path, so that years from now, looking back, …we will not condemn ourselves?
PHYLLIS: Sir: You are a regular Tom Paine! Allow me to salute you.
