November 3, 1996
The newsletter of the People For The American Way, Fall 1996, reported on the Republican convention in San Diego, earlier this year. The control of the convention by the Christian Right Wing was complete, including the platform. Senator Dole, defensively, commented that he had not read the platform. He has said nothing since to indicate that he has yet to read it. This is an astonishing statement, if one thinks about it.
What caught my eye in the reporting of the events was the sight of T-shirts with the message, "Intolerance is a Beautiful Thing."
NO!! NO!! NO!! Intolerance is ugly; it hurts people; it destroys relationships. If the average Christian was asked if he/she could imagine Jesus wearing a T-shirt with that message, what would, could be said?
So long, and thanks for all the fish
