Readers Write: All points of view deserve to be heard

When I served as an Air Force dentist during the Vietnam War, we were called “baby killers.” 

When I wrote extensively and spoke out against Obamacare’s brand of socialized medicine, I was called a racist.

When I co-founded the Nassau-Queens County Tea Party, I was called a Nazi and received threatening telephone calls. 

When I spoke out against public funding for the private Roslyn Country Club, I was called an anti-Semite (until they found out I was Jewish).

When I supported Bush-Cheney, opponents called us traitors. When I spoke out for life and the unborn child, I was told I hated women.

When I called for religious freedom, I was labeled a religious fanatic. 

Progressives claimed that by supporting Mitt Romney, we caused the death of old people just because we wanted to prevent the Medicare program from going bankrupt.

Support local journalism by subscribing to your Blank Slate Media community newspaper for just $50 a year.

A reader called for the banning of my letters to the editor because, after living in Great Neck for 35 years, I don’t live there anymore. Another reader threatened to cancel her newspaper subscription because I called Al Gore self centered and hypocritical.

These are not examples of our country’s greatest moments. Thank God this newspaper has the courage to present every point of view.

I urge all of you who want to limit our personal freedoms, please read or reread article one of our great Constitution. 

Your diatribes will never stop freedom-loving Americans from expressing their views. God Bless America.
