Standing up to a bully

by Dan Tomlinson, Hamilton

I respectfully call your attention to a publication, ‘The Liberty Tree,’ coming out of Stevensville in the names of Alan and Terri Lackey. In Issue #5, she writes to announce the formation of their STFF militia. Then, on an adjoining page we read:

“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of men who want to be left alone… When forced to take up violence these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance… with raw hate and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely playacting at politics and terror. True terror will arrive at these peoples [sic] door and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall on deaf ears of the men who wanted to be left alone.”

Three questions occur to me. Is Lackey among these “men who want to be left alone?” Who are the people “who are merely playacting at politics and terror,” those whose role is to “cry, scream, and beg for mercy?” What is the merciless deed which is to be inflicted upon these people? The answers seem obvious, but they lead to a stunning conclusion.

Alan Lackey, professed Christian and political candidate, seems to be threatening his own would-be constituents. If they do not bow to his political will, then he may one day drag them from their homes and kill them. Is this America?

We must rise to the occasion, and stand up to bullies like this man. We can do that by voting. Please vote for Wayne Rusk in HD 88.
