I came home from a crazy day at work to find this screed, which had
been mailed to my previous home address. The return address was:
William C. Bradshaw
Post Office Box 1288
Oakland, CA 94604
and the letter said:
3 October 2005
Dear Ms. Falk:
Contrary to what you may think, there have been significant numbers of courageous men and women --- who "do truly value life and freedom" --- have [sic] lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
You may rest assured that you, and those who agree with you, do not have a monopoly on wanting a better future for all - here and abroad.
As far as the protests are concerned, they are merely social events which bring out those people who have all kinds of time to chase around the street with boring signs and silly little rhyming chants.
Quantities mean absolutely nothing.
Sincerely,
William C. Bradshaw
copies to:
Senator Dianne Feinstein
Rep. Nancy Pelosi
Selected Others
He thoughtfully also enclosed a few articles from 2002 and 2003
about how awful Saddam Hussein was. Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for
opening my eyes! NOT.
Yes, "those people who have all kinds of time"... to
write
letters to total strangers? To track down their home addresses? While
using a P.O. box to shield his own? To argue against statements I
never made in my original letter? Quantities mean nothing... when
nearly 2,000 of the "courageous men and women" he claims to
support are
dead because of this wretched war?
I'm guessing Mr. Bradshaw could use a big hug right now... and
maybe some gift subscriptions to various liberal publications. That'll
cheer him right up. Just in case you missed it, that address is Post
Office Box 1288, Oakland, CA 94604. Drop him a line if you like.
