Protecting
Your Freedom
There
is a tendency by some people to condemn anything that
they don't personally believe in. Often times people go
out of their way to "mind someone else's business",
forgetting that imposing their personal ideas of right
and wrong on other people is not what the USA was founded
on.
The
people who want to eliminate nudism are usually judgmental,
bigoted and angry, and frequently of a very conservative
religious bent. They believe in freedom, as long as you
agree with their viewpoint. Of course, they also profess
that GOD is always on there side. Unless they have a direct
line to GOD, I doubt that.
Nudists
are usually fair-minded, friendly non-judgmental people
who believe in live and let live. In all the years I have
been visiting nudist events and facilities, I have found
fellow nudists to be kind, considerate of others and always
a positive influence. But nudist do have one fault, they
often fail to watch their politicians and non-elected
government employees who have a hidden agenda of eliminating
your freedoms. It is important that each of us protect
the freedom of the nudist viewpoints.
It
is equally important that we support other groups who
are also experiencing the elimination of their freedoms.
I urge you to do your part and remember the horrors of
the Nazi as written by Rev. Martin Niemoeller, a German
Lutheran pastor. "In Germany, the Nazis first came
for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't
a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't
speak up because I wasn't a Jew. The they came for the
trade unionist, but I didn't speak up because I wasn't
a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, but
I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they
came for me, and by that time there was no one left to
speak for me." Rev. Niemoeller was arrested by the
Gestapo for opposing Hitler and sent to the Dachau death
camp in 1938. He was freed by Allied forces in 1945.
Please
support others who are in danger of losing their rights,
so there is someone to help us retain ours.
I
urge you to be alert, and VOTE!
