No, not a pre-reuisite. Just sounded like you you knew him personally and I wanted more info. Sorry, you are feeling a little edgy, but we who support Terri are very edgy right now and will take any help we can get.
There WAS a time, when I thought I would like to know him personally..
I thought he was a pretty darn good fella, a real patriot, and a defender of the constitution and the ideals it stands for..
I read some articles, etc.. He seemed to be the real deal. There were those that criticized him, but I thought that was just "leftist" Southern Poverty Law Center stuff, and pretty much ignored it..
Then I heard he had a radio program..
I found it on a local station, and listened to him every day, practically, hoping to learn more about how to fight what I saw as an oppressive government bent on destroying every thing american..
Well, I heard some of that..
But I also heard some other stuff..
Stuff I didn't like..
The self promotion, the "slightly" anti-jewish rhetoric, the white supremacy disguised as Christian destiny, that sort of "stuff"..
After about a year and a half of listening, hearing the escapades, hunting for Eric Rudolph, the Abortion clinic bomber, and his portrayal as a hero, the emotional and mental breakdown during his divorce, and his descent into racism and white supremacy, finally the ending of his radio program..
Well, when all was said and done, I had lost all respect..
I wanted to get our nation back on the right track, I wanted return to a respect for our constitution, but not by the methods Bo Gritz promoted..
I'm sorry, but I refuse to ally myself with the Aryan nation, or any thing like it..
I don't hate anyone that much..
Although some people really p*$$ me off some times..
Just so you know..
I felt I "owed" you some sort of explanation..
Cool?
