RE: Stimulus? Change? Manners?

Congressman Klein,

The courtesy of a reply, particularly when the writer is a citizen who lives and votes in the district that you represent – I think that makes me a constituent – is a thing of the past. Perhaps it is a by-product of the much heralded “change”, a “change” that was going to make lions and lambs lie down without having to get a new lamb every night, that the first casualty of this “change” was manners and its alter ego, civility.

You would do well to learn Edmund Burke’s maxim on manners and civility.

Nevertheless, the questions arising from nine hundred million dollars [$900,000,000] being taken from American taxpayers or American capital markets and sent to the rocket launching, bomb throwing terrorists in Gaza must be asked.

Did you vote for it?
Did anyone vote for it?
Is it part of the “stimulus” package?
If we give it to Hamas how about the Taliban? Al-Qaeda? ACORN?
Other than coffin makers and grave diggers who is helped by this?

Does the term “firewater to the Indians” still have validity?

It was damning enough when Lenin said that we would sell his generation’s terrorists the rope that would be used to hang us. At least we got something in exchange for our demise. Here we get nothing but contempt. We get insulted. The Israelis get killed.

Fair exchange?
