Entry: Patrick Buchanan and the Necessary Book Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/patrick_buchanan_and_the_necessary_book#30358 Post contents: Dr. Zmirak, I won't argue with some very valid and sane points you have made in the last couple of posts. But I will take issue with the following because it is aimed at me also: "...when will some people grow cojones and post under their REAL FRIGGIN’ NAMES..." Some of us do not have the luxury of using our real names. Our livelihoods - and thereby the livelihoods of our families - would be in peril if it were to become public that we frequent such sites or hold certain views. And - just like with your example of Pope Pius (who, as I've mentioned, I admire) - we choose not to make the lives of others miserable by taking a (too) public stand on certain issues. If this is a matter of cowardice for you, sir, then I believe you may also be disconnected from certain realities. That you and others have found both the courage and wisdom with which to publicly take a stand and at the same time preserve a livelihood is commendable. And that many (perhaps you as well) have suffered in monetary terms and in terms of access to opportunities (I think of what was done to Sam Francis) in order to further messages that need airing is also commendable. But I believe it is uncharitable to the extreme for you to criticize the use of pseudonyms on sites like this. Sent at: 2008 12 01
