A Letter to Nick Sandmann of Covington Catholic Ten Days Later (from an Orthodox Rabbi)

American Spectator ^ | Dov Fischer

Dear Nick,

It now is some ten days since you unintentionally became famous, and you blessedly no longer are the news outside Covington. But I write to tell you that you are not forgotten for many of us whom you made proud. That includes me, an Orthodox Rabbi.

Obama once said that, if he had had a son, it would have been a boy like Trayvon Martin. Nicholas, I do not doubt that. Not for a moment. I would rather set the boys of CovCath as role models.

Nick, you came with a bunch of other kids from CovCath to Washington, D.C. to march for life and to have some clean fun in the nation’s capital. That is so noble, and that used to be what America is all about...

...

On the day of CovCath’s visit, though, you found that all around you, millions of other Americans want the right to tear apart fetuses limb from limb. Women and men who are too tired or lazy to take simple precautions that they learn in California and New York elementary school classes end up causing an unwanted pregnancy and choose to undo their laziness and gross irresponsibility by paying someone to tear apart the fetus later. In the old days, when science was less advanced, they fooled themselves into thinking that a fetus has no life form to it, was just a collection of random cells. But now the science is settled: the heart beats, the body nourishes, the life exists. In a world of Andrew Cuomos and Kermit Gosnells, you came to defend life.

You also came wearing a MAGA hat. Good for you! Some people in this country believe that everyone except for the kids at CovCath has a right to free speech.

"Lin Wood will make sure a handful of media and celebs never forget when the Sandmann came to DC."

Amen to that. I hopeLin the Litigator makes a special exampleof Wolf-inShepherd's Clothing Stowe of Lexington. He comes off worse than any of them, even worse than Nathan Phillips.

For all I know, Nathan is a bedfuddled hurtin' buckaroo who needs to be protected from acting on his paranoid delusions. But Bishop John Stowe jumped in AFTER the truth came out (Wed,.Jan. 23) --of his own volition, he was not cornered or bullied into this ---and in a jaw-dropping act of hubris, declared that it didn't even matter whether the Covington Boys said, did, or intended anything offensive at all, or not.

He said they wore MAGA hats --- and therefore are racist

So I hope L. Lin Wood will wreak a little Romans 13 justice on Bishop Stowe. For his own good, unto repentance and penitential tears. Let him be saved, O Lord, and yet "as though through fire."

He said they wore MAGA hats --- and therefore are racist sexist-antigay, baptized bigots blah-blah-blah --- and therefore they were asking for it and got what they deserved.

So I hope L. Lin Wood will wreak a little Romans 13:4 on Bishop Stowe. For his own good, unto repentance and penitential tears. Let him be saved, O Lord, and yet "as though through fire."
