| Response to letter Tue, 27 May 2008 12:01:05 -0500 MIKE OHRT WATERLOO --- I generally like to avoid wasting time responding to opinion page attention seekers, but frankly I've reached the tipping point with Dr. (Kamyar) Enshayan's latest rant. Not that his biased opinion really matters to me, but because I find his vitriolic tone in bad taste. Neither his "blame our government" cliche or "English-only" racism equation are compelling. I was less stirred by his pathetically condescending scolding of "this isn't America or this isn't Iowa: we are nice people," baloney. Paa-leeez! We are nice, until our rules are violated or our freedoms are challenged. All are welcome to visit, work and live here but, not by being complicit to identity theft schemes, or by avoiding processes which "we the people" have installed for a multitude of historical reasons. |
