Comments From Readers

I have today looked in my Spam Folder had a problem downloading a programme and was told it could have gone straight to my Spam Folder, While looking I found I had some comments with regard to my Blog, I do not recognise either of them but was pleased to see that people not on my mailing list actually read my Blog.

As you know I have many friends in the USA and they send me a lot of emails many which I reproduce. Someone calling themselves Mr Churchill does not agree with a lot of the Blogs so I thought it was only fair to reproduce his comments and maybe some of my US readers can comment. Another is on a local issue and the comment made good sense

Mr Churchill has left a new comment on your post "OBAMA BANNED THIS VIDEO - GEE, I WONDER WHY!.flv":

Actually factually incorrect. Obama was forced to release his birth certificate in 2008. He is qualified by residency. You should not publish lies as you make it harder for the rest of us decent folks who filed accurate tax returns to make our voices heard 

Well US Friends is he right? mind you I do not know what it has to do with Tax returns

Mr Churchill has left a new comment on your post "Target Stores":

Target is publicly traded on the New York stock exchange under the ticker TGT. Furthermore it has its HQ in Minessota since being founded in 1902. You are abusing the free speech we fought for in the Second World War.

Do you have the courage to publish this statement and also publish your accounts since 1994, and explain how being a slum landlord that violates the law in their advertising gives an automatic right to broadcast falsehoods. 


Free Speech is exactly what its FREE SPEECH just because you do not agree with something does not give you the right to Ban it. In the UK we are having a big debate about what is Free Speech with the Islamic Crisis. With regard to the article is there part in it that advocates Violence NO. It asks people to boycott the store for reasons mentioned surely that is a democratic right in the US?

Absolutely agree, until you add a really silly statement about your comment being a hate crime

Mr Churchill has left a new comment on your post "Banned from Facebook":

I believe in free speech so am disappointed that Facebook have deactivated your account. However you did sign up a contract with them not to use sexist, racist and homophobic statements and unfortunately you broke the laws. 

Please quote me where I was Sexist, Racist or Homophobic? or better still tell me the definition of the 3 Items. 

Mr Churchill has left a new comment on your post "OBAMA to ban Christiananity": Oh dear, you really don't have your facts straight. The American constitution establishes one nation  under God, the founding fathers never intended this as an exclusively Christian God, in fact some of them  believed in a supreme being that would make most Christians shudder. The National day of Prayer was  never Christian - it appealed also to othe faiths and the sizeable Jewish population. It is quite obvious that  you don't check facts and simply pass on untrue statements as if they were true because you got them from  the Internet. I am far from a bleeding heart liberal but posting ignorant fascist statements undermines all  reasonable conservatives in the country.    I am forwarded these articles from  Concerned friends in the USA and publish  them because they are interesting and  welcome comments. I  will not censor them  to suit your personal ideology	15 Jul (12 days ago)
JamesMMcCann has left a new comment on your  post "No to Mosque at Church": I see where you're coming from, but to say  We can't risk encouraging muslims, because they are  mostly terrorists, or at least could be,' is the same as  those lefty-students seeing your union flag and  automatically assuming you're a homophobic racist. If there is a building going spare, why not turn it into  a homeless shelter to get people off the streets?  As you've mentioned in a FaceBook comment, a big  problem with this country today is that we appear to care more about animals than people, so surely a  good way to counter that would be to start putting  people, not religions, first? Churches in this country are tax-exempt, they've got  their money, we don't need to worry about them.  Homeless people, however, for the most part could  do with the help. Just my thoughts.
