It’s been a while since we shared some of the hate mail the Texas Freedom Network gets from folks. Enjoy!
Lots of our hate mail is along these lines:
“Dear Nut Jobs — Leave me alone! You IDIOTS!”
And another:
“Wise up! You can not be a liberal & please God. Get on God’s side not evil Obama”
Some folks like to declare their political beliefs and support for particular political candidates:
“There is NO separation of church and state! Amen. No Bamacare. No Amnesty. Cruz for Prez”
This helpful fellow put the important words in all caps and wanted to make sure we understand about the perish=hell thing.
“REPENT!!! Turn to the Lord JESUS CHRIST and be baptized. Stop supporting the murder of infants and embryos. Start supporting traditional marriage the way GOD created us to be, and stop supporting perversion for which the disobedient will be judged and punished. Again I urge you to REPENT, for JESUS said, ‘unless you REPENT you will all likewise perish!’ (That means you will go to Hell!!!)”
Morality is a recurring theme in our hate mail:
“What is right or wrong has been established by history. So is good & bad. You are pushing an agenda to appeal to the immoral.”
Some folks are proud of their exremism. In a letter addressed to the “Liers” and “Any of the idiots” at TFN:
“I AM A RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS [sic]. DAMN PROUD OF IT!!”
Some writers worry that TFN staffers simply aren’t grateful:
“You should be thankful that we let you live in our free country. Read your Constitution and thank God you are still free.”
Some have been especially bothered by TFN’s support of equality for LGBT folks. One forwarded us a screed from a Washington-based anti-LGBT group attacking the “Tyranny of Gay Equality,” claiming that “homosexuality and transgenderism are psychological disorders,” and criticizing efforts to protect LGBT people (especially minors) from abusive (and discredited) “ex-gay psychotherapy.” The sender included this with the email:
“To the Texas Freedom Network: Mental illness isn’t freedom, and a regime of forced lies isn’t freedom, either.”
Another writer is ready to run us out of the state:
“If you want to support gay marriage then move to California or New York. ‘Don’t mess with Texas.’ No one forces you to live here.”
But probably the message that made us all chuckle the most is the one in the accompanying photo. The notepad stationery is pleasant, yes?
