Baker Blasts a Bigot

I've had the honor and pleasure of meeting this fine gent a couple or three times now.  I've briefly shared a firing line with him, talked and laughed endlessly over a great pizza here in Houston.  If one is to be measured by one's friends, Kevin is one of those whom I'd want standing by my side.

If you've not made a habit of reading The Smallest Minority, then do so without delay.  Be assured, it will be time very well spent.

Kevin practices what we all preach.  While many make noise about "writing your Congressman"... Kevin often does, and more.  To wit; his Letter to the Editor of the Tuscon Weekly is well worth your revue. 

"It would seem that Mr. Kates' characterization of bigotry is still spot-on, as evidenced by Renée Downing's Aug. 11 op-ed. To sum her up: Gun owners are all environment-raping, gas-guzzling-truck-driving, fat, ignorant, poor, frightened, racist rednecks."

"It appears that, with some, the liberal values of inclusiveness, understanding and acceptance of people with "alternate lifestyles" ends abruptly when it comes to those who advocate protecting the right to bear arms........."

And then he gets down to business.  Yeah, I'm making you go to the Smallest Minority to find the link to that letter.  You want I should do all the work here?

Read his "best of" posts over on the left sidebar, too.  Consider it a part of your continuing education...  a very important and vital part, not to be missed.
