O, I c.
I re-iterate my position that the left is only screaming
because Sterling took a controversial attitude which the left
DISLIKES.
If he had adopted a controversial position that the left
FAVORS,
e.g., gun control, and the same hostile, lynch-mob vilification afflicted him,
then the left wud be screaming for Don 's freedom to believe what he wants.
Its only a question of whose ox is gored.
My ancestry is from Devon Shire, England. If a bunch of
Irishmen
wanna make any kind of negative remarks about the English,
I 'll stand up for their right to
believe what thay want
and I 'll stand up for their right to
free speech.
I reserve my right to inveigh in counter-attack against the
Irish.
Others, who love personal liberty
LESS than I do,
will take different points of vu.
David
