The Only Good Thing...

Talk about a silver lining. The one good thing about the Times slam is that a lot of new readers see through their bias. Yes, I have been getting the usual rabid leftwing obscene hate emails, etc. *Yawn* More importantly, I have been receiving letters like the one below. Excellent.

Dear Ms. Geller,

One good thing about the NYT article, it led me to your blog.

As a Jewish guy who lived in Israel for almost 5 years this blog is like the breeze off Lake Michigan in the morning(I live in Chicago's version of Long Island I guess Highland Park) it clears away the fog.
I had despaired of finding a person in the States who understood the situation. The analogy I like to use is that after Pearl Harbor did FDR get up there and say, We don't hate Japanese, there are certain people who happen to be Japanese that have attacked us but they are not all our enemies, just the bad ones. No, he had Congress declare war and the only acceptable outcome was Unconditional Surrender.
And nobody talked about discrimination, we certainly did not invite Japanese nationals and German Nazis to immigrate here during the war "for a better life". They were the enemy, full stop no question.

Today Islam is what the Nazis and Japanese were then.
To be fair, all countries and ideologies want to be top dog.
So, they are just doing their job.
However , as of now, we hold that spot and I see no reason to give it up without a fight.
Thank you for what you do.


Best Regards,
