Extremism in the Defense of Liberty...

...may be no vice, sir - but it sure as HELL is an attack on it!

The Connecticut Post reported today about the three COWARDS (shown above) who crashed a menorah lighting ceremony on the Fairfield Green.

This is so wrong on so many levels...and should offend every American. And so, in this season of hope, I'd like to say to these "heroes of democracy":

First of all, if you feel so strongly about something...even if your opinion is unpopular...have the courage of your convictions: identify yourselves. (This also applies to those "heroes" who anonymously post malicious messages on the Register!)

Secondly, by using Nazi symbols to get your point across -- OK, I get it, you're really against Nazi tactics -- still you essentially spit on the graves of those who fought and died against those symbols. You cannot ever use evil in the expectation of obtaining good.

Finally, it is particularly repugnant to use these symbols (and shout obscenities) during a public ceremony to denote a Jewish holiday. Perhaps those who oppose you should dig up your grandmother's body and parade the corpse around your house to "celebrate" her death.

We have been blessed b
y the writers of our Constitution with several rights (or "freedoms"): all of which have sustained our Country through the years. But with each of these rights, we are also charged with a corresponding responsibility, to use and guard those rights carefully - so that we shall pass them on undamaged to our posterity. Otherwise, unlike the "greatest generation" you so callously mock, history shall denote us the "worst generation".


(P.S. H/T to Connecticut Bob - who is no relation - and who posted an excellent piece on this!)
