Thinking is tiring

Dear Mr. Pipes,

Its great when you are able to make rightwing Christians and Jews get bent out of shape. This gives you alot of mainstream appeal and reaffirms the correct direction of anti-Terrorist thought.

Some people claim that you are a racist and extremist. But that is because they just don't "get it." Similiarly, Bush is accused of being an extremist as well. This is despite the fact that rightwing extremists are distraught that Bush is so friendly with Israel, he compromises with his beliefs on abortion in order to uphold its legal status, elevates minorities to highlevel positions in his government, etc....

It is no wonder some people do not understand you; they believe what they want to believe in order to advance their political agenda. While leftwing ideology hasn't changed in over 50 years, you stand firmly in the 21st century.

All the best
