To the editor,

What is with all the right wing drama queens? Lately when I read Steve Earle, Russ Wiles, or Jim McCoole's letters I think I am on a Dear Abby page. What a bunch of crybabies. Every time they get called out for hate speech and bigotry, they think people are attacking their right to free speech. Wrong! Nobody is attacking their right to free speech. They are attacking what they are saying and the content of the writer's moral character. They spew evil from their hearts.

Here is my free speech in action: Right wing letters are full of ignorance, bigotry and the desire to spread hateful stereotypes. They are not critical thinkers. They are anti-intellectual and anti-science. They don't do their homework. Right wing extremists exemplify the darkest and most backward minds in America. Right wingers either whine about being the victim or write about what they hate. That's who they are; hateful extremists with a bad case of Dunning-Kruger syndrome. The village idiot doesn't know he is an idiot.  Soaked in bitterness, brainwashed by preachers of hate, deluded by a vision of an America that never was, doped up on fundamentalist religion, and infuriated that their anachronistic world and its values are going down in a fireball.

So keep up the free speech and I will keep up mine.
