Today is a solemn day for the Jewish people, Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Memorial Day. Today is a day to reflect on the six million that were murdered by the Nazi regime.
Solemnity is fine and proper, and I do grieve. However, today is also a day for rejoicing. Yesterday, during the balloting in Bozeman, the baby-faced Neo-Nazi (as named by Ed Kemmick) was solidly trounced in his race to win a seat on the School Board there. The voice of hate won only 157 votes, as compared to over 4,000 each by his opponents. For those keeping score, he managed only 3.6% of the total vote.
I salute the people of Bozeman and Gallatin County for striking a note for toleration and reason. I didn't go to MSU, but 'GO BOBCATS!'
Now, a quick word to the 156 people that voted for the baby-faced neo-Nazi. I really don't care what you think or why. Whatever you say or do, I will still be here. Yesterday, the people of Bozeman, Gallatin County and Montana showed that your views and the bile that you spew are not welcome.
