"About Blacklists"
Punishing somebody by blacklisting
because his opinions don’t follow the party line
does not sound like America.
It sounds more like
Iran,
or the U.S.S.R,
or Germany in the 1930’s.
Or maybe like America
during the McCarthy Hearings of the 1950’s,
or the Salem Witch Burnings.
A lynch mob feeling.
Patriotism twisted from good to evil.
Freedom of speech is basic to our way of life,
and shouldn’t be fooled with.
Just one American’s opinion.
