However, this letter writer didn't write this letter out of a concern for America and Americans. I submit that the letter writer is probably repulsed by more than half of the American people. I say this because more than half of the American people are not Caucasian.

This letter, like yesterday's "march on Washington, was created out of hatred and racial intolerance.

Remember "America, love it or leave it? It's what I was told so many times when I thought that the government of this country was engaged in wars it should not have been fighting. I was told that to disagree with "your president or "your government was unpatriotic.

I will not use the same line for those who believe that this letter contains anything substantive and should be sent out to everyone so everyone can see what President Barack Obama is "really all about. I will not say to them, "America, love it or leave it.

However, if the reason they find this letter so "awesome and are passing it around, hoping to create hate toward our president; if the reason tens of thousands of them rallied in Washington DC yesterday, carrying hateful posters which depicted President Obama as Hitler, Stalin or in any other disrespectful manner is that they are racists, then they should just say so. They need to cease attacking the character of the President of the United States of America by pointing to anything that resembles policy. The fact is they don't care about President Obama's policies. They need to admit that. They're ignorant, intolerant racists and I will say that there is no longer any room for them and their racism in The United States of America.

There is no need for them and their racism in The United States of America.

In fact, I submit that most of us, the vast majority of Americans, actually desire that they exit our country and take their racism with them.
