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?
Thanks for informing me about this guy. Its kinda like someone joining your football team only to find out he is an individual player not a team player, but sometimes you got to use him wether you like him or not. As with Terris case any legal means to keep her from starving to death will be used.
Thanks
