Re: "...I think what was done to him was wrong but it could not have happened to a nicer guy. One of McVeigh's grievances was Ruby Ridge and Weaver."
What was done to Weaver was criminal, because as an American citizen he has the right to hate anyone or anything, as well as the right to speak and write his opinions publicly. The Constitution as well guarantees our freedom of association. If Weaver or others prefer no association with those of other religions and races, and has no desires other than to be left alone to pursue his own happiness and raise his family as he sees fit, then what business is it of ours to interfere with him so long as he obeys the law?
A citizen, however, does not have the right to deprive other citizens of their exact same rights, nor does a citizen have the right to act out feelings of violence or hatred against others.
If our government, without due process of law, can destroy lives and kill people simply because of their beliefs (and, yes, the U.S. Government has a history of such abuses), then the same abuses can be turned against American Jews simply for being Jews. If that day comes, there will be no one to defend us or stand with us, for we live in a country where our younger generations readily accept and acquiese to murder, rape, sexual perversion, and corruption.
The issue is not Weaver's personal views.
In fact, my opinion is that Jews and others can trust Weaver and those like him, because he tells us exactly what he believes and thinks, and he does so right to our face. We know where he stands at all times. Such an individual is far more trustworthy and worthy of our respect than is someone who will say anything to us but doesn't mean a single word of it.
