Obama is a Fool

It is my letter to the editor sent to many newspapers across the
United States, list garnered from the following page:
http://theroadtoemmaus.org/1NET/Nws/NwspprAdd.htm
Locally, I posted to various gay rags (such as the Bay Area Reporter,
and the S.F. Bay Times) and other newspapers here in the San Francisco
Bay Area, such as the East Bay Express, The S.F. Chronicle, and the
S.F. Bay Guardian. Spread the word!
--begin letter:
President Obama:
I am a gay activist and progressive, and voted for you. In good faith
of course, that you would begin the desperately-sought resolution to
include gay people at the table of equal rights along with other
long-suffering minorities. My expectation was most reasonable for a
democratic politician: that, in spite of being against gay marriage,
you would denounce the unbridled homophobic vitriol from the
fundamentalist faction, that has been plaguing our nation for at least
two decades.
You could have selected any person of the cloth to open your historic
inauguration to represent the inclusive unity you so frequently
espouse. Among these choices for the opening prayer number many
ministers, preachers, reverends and priests who do not vociferate
anti-gay vitriol from the pulpit. Instead, you chose a most divisive
fundamentalist over a vast array of uniters...one who utters the most
vulgar and hateful words against our sexual minority citizens.
For a man of great intelligence (as you clearly are), I'm sure you
fully realize the implications of your choice. Which belies your claim
that you are a stalwart defender of gay equality. In fact, your
unfortunate selection gives tacit approval for fag bashers to increase
their attacks against sexual minorities in spite of our constitution's
mandate to keep church and state separate, and to protect any minority
from majority attack.
I must conclude that you have deliberately chosen to violate one of
America's most sanctified laws...for being so well informed and
worldly, you could not have made this choice out of ignorance. It is
tragic and shameful that you, America's first person of color to be
elected to the highest office of our unfair land, have chosen to
perpetrate the ignoble tradition of anti-gay persecution by
African-Americans at large. In so doing, you have given the green
light for furthering such bigotry, giving a thumbs up (as it were)
towards increased violence against homosexuals. (How so many who've
voted for you must now be dancing for joy that they'll also be rid of
those goddamned faggots for once and for all!)
President Obama: as one who is also well educated, intelligent and a
progressive, I can only conclude that--in spite of your excessive
IQ--you have failed to hold true reverance towards equal rights for
all minorities. In choosing to make gay people an exception to this
most American ideal, I have to conclude that, in spite of your
obvious intelligence, you are nonetheless a fool.
And, my enemy.
MOST sincerely,
Ezekiel J. Krahlin
San Francisco
