Honest debate not an option anymore

In Ken Blinko’s recent letter, he said that I call the left “disgusting” and “insane” shutting down debate right away. Yes, the word “disgusting” was used, but in regard to when the left came right out, without any facts, and blamed conservatives for the Arizona shooting. Sorry, but the word fits when you do something like that.
As for the word “insane,” I didn’t call the left insane, though many would, I used it in the context of them trying to connect the incident to Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and such.
Mr. Blinko says that Joseph Starks’ thoughts were more Tea Party than left. The Tea Party is not anti-government, but anti-big government. The Tea Party isn’t anti-tax, but anti-overtaxation. Starks was anti-Catholic, but faith in religion is rampant in the Tea Party.
Mr. Blinko, your comments show your ignorance of the Tea Party. Nothing you claim of them is true, but I’m sure that won’t stop you from repeating them.
James Lee was an environmental terrorist, was anti-overpopulation, encouraged sterilization and thought of humans as “destructive, filthy, polluting creatures.” Sorry, but those are more liberal than anything.                                                             
Kenneth Gladney was attacked by four people wearing purple SEIU shirts. That union president was Andy Stem,  part of Obama’s administration. The union also gave millions to Obama’s election and the Democratic Party. But Mr. Blinko says that I should wait till the facts come in before I say anything. That was what my first letter was about. Have someone read it and then explain it to you.
As for riots, what does carrying a gun have to do with them? These two are not mutual. I suppose Mr. Blinko doesn’t care for the Second Amendment.
Again the Fairness Doctrine is not about equal points of view. You can get that already. Want the right? Listen to radio and watch some Fox News. Want the left? Watch ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and read most major newspapers. You also have the Internet to get any and all views. Why, then, is this needed? It’s not.
Like everything else, Mr. Blinko missed the mark on rap, too. I don’t care why it’s named. I care about the filth and degradation it promotes.
I used to be a liberal, until I saw that almost everything I learned from them turned out to be lies. I do know both sides, and I do know what I am talking about. One last thing, Mr. Blinko, because of my conservative views, I’ve been called a racist for decades. How’s that for shutting down an honest debate?
