Another letter (I have become Sam Adams, I think)

Dear Ms. Tucker:

I am saddened by your words last week on Hardball that you believe "45-65%" of town hall protesters are "racist" just because they dare voice concerns against the government takeover of health care on top of the trillions stolen by the "stimulus" bill, bailouts of private companies, and the job-stealing "cap and trade" bill.

I am sorry that you are so focused on race, because believe me, this has NOTHING to do with race. It has to do with an out-of-control federal government who has become so arrogant they don't care who they step on or destroy in order to keep and grow their power. It wouldn't matter WHO was president—Hillary Clinton, John McCain, George Bush—anyone who leads this headlong rush into socialism will be protested by ordinary, hard-working, tax-paying Americans.

It is you and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and the President himself who are the racists by insisting that everything comes back to that. Believe it or not, the vast majority of Americans have long ago put racial tensions behind us. It is YOU who keep it stirred up.

I grew up in a military family in the 60's in the middle of the Civil Rights movement and learned from my parents and the U.S. Army to be color blind. I had native and Asian friends in Hawaiian schools, black friends in Louisiana schools, Hispanic friends in Texas schools. Yes, of course there are and always will be a minority of white folk that will never get over their feelings of superiority, but in all my years and all my travels across this wonderful country I have found and seen otherwise—true brotherhood.

I am so tired of stupid political correctness and multiculturalism tearing our country apart. Of course I'm going to protest what I believe is wrong! In case you haven't read the First Amendment to the United States Constitution lately, this is what it says:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

May God have mercy on our country before it is too late. And may you search your heart and your conscience to see what you are doing to add to the problem on a national level.
