My email to George Will (GRRR)

RE: This ridiculous column http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A34168-2004Oct14.html

Dear Mr. Will:

As I scratch my head at your columns I have gotten about this far in the construction phase of many such emails and stopped right about here saying to myself, "nah, I'm sure his Inbox is cluttered with emails like this one." So I'm especially proud of myself that I've made it this far!

In reading your columns so many questions come to mind. So much bafflement. Consternation. Confusion. Since today's column is full of so much backwards pomposity and ANTI-AMERICAN hogwash I will take issue with just one of your points. Liberalism, having lost its ability to advance by persuasion, increasingly relies on litigation. Sir, with all due respect, this country was founded on the principals of liberalism and has been moving towards a more liberal and free society since it's inception. It will, I suspect, continue to do so, the efforts of pundits like yourself, notwithstanding. Indeed it is the conservative mindset, you know the one most often associated with the wills of straight, white, men, that is fast disappearing. A final flailing for life as it grasps to every trace of everything it ever enjoyed before disappearing into a footnote in our country's history. Thank goodness and good riddance! Liberalism doesn't want all your money, your Godly values (or George Bush's for that matter), your two car garage, etc. - it wants the truth, and the truth it shall have. Lastly you say that "liberals" make it "impossible to navigate life without a lawyer in tow". Imagine that, a society where all citizens are expected to have intimate knowledge of THE LAWS that govern us. We can't have that, now can we?

Sincerely

Luke Williams

1. Very Nice

Well articulated

2. this letter is great. I wonder though if any of it will register with him

Sometimes the self-righteous are too dim of the senses to feel truth.
Plus, I sometimes wonder who the people are that work for these guys and if, through all our writings, they are not the smart ones instead of those they serve.

(edit: grammar)

3. yes very nice.

Mr Will is SO full of himself.

4. I see it differently

I think conservatives are afraid of lawyers because they know what they're doing is wrong. As in founded in the 10 Commandments wrong.

Besides, I would rather have lawyers watching over the machinery of government than west texan oil buddies.

Will Bush nominate an oilman to the Supreme Court?

8. Agreed

And I don't think we do see things too differently.

5. Looks good, not to be too picky but...

Because you are writing to George Will I must suggest you check the spelling of the word "backward". I believe that when you are using the word as an adjective it is always spelled without the "s". Anyone else know, or care. Maybe I have it completely "backwards". Hahaha... Oh, I am too much; I kill me... leaving now.

6. Not to worry

Mr. Will is a pompous pseudo-intellectual often caught in his masturbatory syntax. He probably didn't even notice.
