Mossbacks and Their Bizarre Beliefs

As quoted in my unrebutted August 28, 2013 letter (below), controversial St. Johns County Sheriff David Shoar's website reports that Rev. Dr. Martn Luther King, Jr. was arrested by "Federal agents" here in St. Augustine in 1964. Not true. Local law enforcement did it. Did the same SJSCO staffer write Shoar's 152-page report, attacking FDLE agents for inestigating the shooting death of a deputy's girlfriend as a homicide? You tell me?

The Florida National Guard (FNG) Commanding General told a packed Flagler College Auditorium audience that Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11. Untrue.

The Florida Air National Guard (FANG) Commanding General spoke on Memorial Day 2013 of America's wars in a service at our National Cemetery, oddly omitting any mention of the Civil War, speaking ONLY of wars against foreigners. How dull. How insensitive to American history -- more than 600,000 Americans fought and died to let freedom ring. In fact, there are graves of USCT (U.S. Colored Troops) at the cemetery, near where he stood -- under his feet, but not on his mind. Our Nation's epic fight for equality was not on his narrow mind. Then FANG trashed all copies of the speech, paper and electronic. He's a part-timer, working as an airline pilot. Why is he giving speeches, and mangling our history (nearly as bad as FNG alumnus, Sheriff David B. Shoar)?

What a bunch of lugubrious goobers. What an embarassment for St. Augsutine.

Both Sheriff David Shoar and Florida National Guard Generals hold some bizarre beliefs.

These are people with degrees and titles. Some (like Shoar) are well-read.

Their bizarre beliefs are downright frightening.

These are "cognitive misers" with guns, who get to decide who will live or die.

What else do they believe? What do they do in their high-tech government palaces?

Pray for them. And as JFK said, "Here on Earth, God's work must truly be our own."
Ask questions. Demand answers. It's our town, our time and our rights.

What do you reckon?
