Don't be silly. Eastern-bloc communism could be revived overnight. Communist governments in third-world countries in Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America are a constant threat to our security. Any semi-rational person can see this. Even now we as a nation are making huge efforts around the world to advocate and encourage democratic governments. Your negative reflections on Benson's politics are specious. Of course some of the specifics do not pertain to current events, just like some writings of Isaiah about the Assyrians are not particularly pertinant today. But there's nothing outdated or anachronistic about President Benson's counsel regarding loyalty to God and country. Plenty of us could take lessons from President Benson's teachings. One of the more telling complaints I've heard from right-wing folks is that liberals seem to hate America and what it stands for. It is easy to understand why patriotic folks with traditional ideals form this opinion. It is difficult, in the context of these times, to understand why anyone would sell short the importance of national defense and security. I worry far more about that than I do about being preoccupied with Communists hiding in every toilet. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
