Hi, Pam-
This is Barrett Brown; I believe you caught my profile of Charles Johnson
for Vanity Fair.
For some reason, I'm having a hell of a time trying to get anyone to
debate me on the subject of the Founding Fathers and other revolutionary
heroes and their relative distrust of Judeo-Christianity and their secular
intent in creating our form of government. Some of the same people who are
happy to insult me on their blogs (and sometimes on mine) don't seem to be
willing to actually engage me on an issue of substance - which is odd, as all
of these tribalist war bloggers are obviously quite a bit more brilliant than
I and could easily beat me in such a way as to totally discredit me in the
eyes of all observers as well as to help highlight the truth of the matter. If
I didn't know better, I'd assume that all the fellows you hang around with are
cowards who prefer to be able to respond or ignore points at will than to
engage in an e-mail debate for publication in full, one in which they'd
actually get stuck having to address things they might find
inconvenient.
Perhaps you know of someone who'd actually be willing to debate me on
this or any other matter? Like you, perhaps?
Thanks,
Barrett Brown
