Evidently when he is not advocating for the rabid-left’s agenda, Chuck Currie is busy Googling himself. Tonight I found this morsel in my comments queue from the man himself. Since I write quite a bit on this blog about him that is not very flattering, he is due his right of reply. (I am also due my own rebuttal.)
I just discovered this web site during a Google search. From the lack of comments and traffic it would appear you do not receive regular visitors.
It depends on what I post on. My Jeremiah Wright posts got quite a bit of hits. I don’t really promote this site as its a hobby.
You seem somewhat obsessed with my activities. Attacking my very public views while hiding behind a screen name is just as dishonorable as a Klan member covered with their hood. Try taking responsibility for your own views. Yes, there are risks when you engage in public life. But for democracy to thrive we need all of our citizens to become involved with the process in honest ways.
I must congratulate you Chuck. You wrote several complete sentences before making a comparison of my blog to the Ku Klux Klan. For the record, I do not condone, support, or believe in racial bigotry and while my views are ultra-conservative, they do not involve the types of activities the Klan has historically taken part in. While you may feel that the scorn and mockery I give your views are as bad as a lynching, there are plenty of victims of the Ku Klux Klan who would see your comparison as petty and facile.
As for my anonymity, this is explained on my about page. To clarify, I do not want my views to adversely reflect upon my employeer(s), coworkers, friends, family, religious/technical affiliations, and so forth. Believe it or not, I don’t eat puppies, don’t burn Barak Obama in effigy, or go out on Saturday nights and go gay bashing. I like to do normal things and have normal interests, including family. I’d rather not have my wife known as “the lady married to the crazy guy who writes for Dawn @ 366 Mhz.” While I don’t mind the attention, I’m sure she might.
We do not need to use our voices to tear down other people – as you seem to do here – but rather we need all of us involved in an effort to build up the common good. Your anger comes up clearly but I would encourage you to come out the dark place you know find yourself, be open about who you are, and see if the sunlight doesn’t change your views – maybe soften to your heart. In the meantime, I will pray again tonight that all Earth’s people become reconciled to God and to one another. – Rev. Chuck Currie
I truly appreciate your sentiments and I believe you mean well. This blog however is meant to piss people off. It is meant to make people angry about our border insecurity, illegal immigrants taking advantadge of the generosity of the American taxpayer, that since 1973, over 45,000,000 children were deprived of the right to see the light of day, and so on.
I realize you share none of my views and I don’t write this blog to convince you. You will never change my mind and I do not expect to change yours. You and I share one common trait- we are both persuaded in our views to the point we will most likely never change. Our views of justice, peace, prosperity, and the public good, different as they may be, are pretty much set in stone. As weird as I think many of your ideals are, I at least respect that you have them and can state them eloquently.
Maybe one day when I feel this blog has achieved my aims, humble as they may be, I will be able to engage you more constructively in dialogue. I doubt that you have an arcane lab in your basement where you dissect live children and animals and you and I probably have some common interest somewhere (besides blogging and pushing our social agendas)
So yeah, you are a weirdo liberal dude who I will always consider a weirdo liberal dude, but thats cool. In the deep recesses of your mind you see me as an aberration and thats okay. It’s a free country and you can think as you please, even though your man is going to get creamed in November’s election.
