Dear Brothers & Sisters,
I'm still shaking. I was visiting one of them thar "lefty blogs," poking fun of their homo-commie politics and telling them how Barack Hussein was born in Africa and thus is not legally qualified to be our president. Then one of them told me to read this link, some of which I've quoted below:
After reading this, I'm just purple with rage! Frank Schaeffer was once a Christian, but now he's gone turncoat! And he says that Republicans are arsonists - not true! It was them Muslims who burned down the World Trade Center, not us! And what's wrong with being "crazy for God?" Why, you'd be crazy not to be crazy for God. And what's wrong with war? Everyone who's read the Bible knows that war is God's way to destroy those who don't worship him. Plus, it's our duty as patriotic Americans to bring about Armageddon and The Rapture as soon as possible.
Worst of all, Frank-the-Traitor calls Rush Limbaugh "Hanoi Jane!" Everyone knows that Rush doesn't smoke Mary Jane, he uses Oxycontin. Plus, he's such a lovable fuzzball - that's why he spends all his spare time down there in the Dominican Republic, teaching young girls about the Bible (even if they do use Viagra as a sacrament). And Rush is perfectly correct that Osambo should fail in his quest to turn the USA into another Cuba.
Sorry folks, I'm gonna have to take my Thorazine and lie down. Reading the rants of this "Christian" traitor is just too much for me. Satan has struck a blow.
Yours in Christ,
Buford

You Republicans are the arsonists who burned down our national home. You combined the failed ideologies of the Religious Right, so-called free market deregulation and the Neoconservative love of war to light a fire that has consumed America. Now you have the nerve to criticize the "architect" America just hired -- President Obama -- to rebuild from the ashes. You do nothing constructive, just try to hinder the one person willing and able to fix the mess you created
I used to be one of you. As recently as 2000 I worked to get Senator McCain elected in that year's primary. (McCain and Gen. Tommy Franks wrote glowing endorsements regarding my book about military service, AWOL.). I have a file of handwritten thank you notes from Presidents Ford, Reagan, Bush I and II. In the 1970s and early 80s I hung out with Jack Kemp and bought into his "supply side" myth and even wrote a book he endorsed pushing his ideas.) There's more, but take it from me; my parents (evangelical leaders Francis and Edith Schaeffer) and I were about as tight with -- and useful to -- the Republican Party as anyone. We played a big part creating the Religious Right.
In the mid 1980s I left the Religious Right, after I realized just how very anti-American they are, (the theme I explore in my book Crazy For God). They wanted America to fail in order to prove they were right about America's "moral decline." Soon after McCain lost in 2000 I re-registered as an independent in disgust with W. Bush. But I still respected many Republicans. Not today.
How can anyone who loves our country support the Republicans now? Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley and Ronald Reagan defined the modern conservatism that used to be what the Republican Party I belonged to was about. Today no actual conservative can be a Republican. Reagan would despise today's wholly negative Republican Party. And can you picture the gentlemanly and always polite Ronald Reagan, endorsing a radio hate-jock slob who crudely mocked a man with Parkinson's and who now says he wants an American president to fail?!
With people like Limbaugh as the loudmouth image of the Republican Party -- you need no enemies. But something far more serious has happened than an image problem: the Republican Party has become the party of obstruction at just the time when all Americans should be pulling together for the good of our country. Instead, Republicans are today's fifth column sabotaging American renewal.
President Obama has been in office barely 45 days and the Republican Party has the nerve to blame him for the economic and military cataclysm he inherited. I say economic and military cataclysm because without the needless war in Iraq you all backed we would not be in the economic mess we're in today. If that money had been spent here at home on renovating our infrastructure, taking us toward a green economy, putting our health-care system in order we'd be a very different situation.
As the father of a Marine who served in George W. Bush's misbegotten wars let me say this: if President Obama's strategy to repair our economy, infrastructure and healthcare fails that will put our troops at far greater risk because the world will become a far more dangerous place. So for all you flag-waving Republicans who are trying to undermine the President at home -- if you succeed more of our troops will be killed abroad.
When your new leader Rush Limbaugh calls for President Obama to fail he's calling for more flag-draped coffins. Limbaugh is the new "Hanoi Jane."
