Maybe I should write cranky postings like that more often! 😉

That’s awesome. I love it when good things happen to good people! Three cheers for Daniel in Vermont!
Patrick, your cranky post kicked freaking ass. Didja see me cheering for ya at Pamela’s place? 😀
Yes, I did and I thank you kindly lady. 🙂
Dear Pat
I hope this note finds you well. You are right, I saw how you defended Pamela Geller against vicious lies. I read about your love for the Jewish people that stems from your being a true Christian. It touched me deeply.
When I was 18, I read what Solzhenitsyn said in his Noble acceptance speech
(he got the prize in 1970, Â held the speech in 1974). The speech is somewhat
rambling, the prose slightly turgid, but the gem is in the middle. He echoes
one of his characters in the “First Circle”. I read it when I was 18 and
never forgot it:
“The first step of a simple  courageous man is not to take
part in the lie, not to support deceit. May the lie come into the world,
even dominate it. But not through me.”
You saw the lie and said : “not through me”. Know that for this alone you will be blessed, as it is written in the Book of Splendor
“The enlightened will shine like the Zohar (radiance) of the sky,
and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars, forever and ever”
I wish you well
Daniel
I’ll take that kind of endorsement any time I can get it.
Thank you very much sir.
