QUOTE Trip to Israel was politically tellingPublished 7:03am Sunday, March 23, 2014 In November 2013, I went to Israel with a group from Albert Lea. On major street corners in major cities there were at least two Israeli soldiers with machine guns. I decided I would like to talk to as many of them as I could. The first two I talked with said, “What are you Americans thinking putting a Muslim in as your president?” I told them that I have but one vote, and I never voted for him! They also said, “America lacks leadership and respect in the world because of Obama. We owe a lot to you Americans; and if you need our help, we will be there to help protect you — we have your back covered.” I told two others that I talked with that I liked the way Israel handled things — they look at the issue, decide what should be done and they do it. They don’t talk about it for months and tell the world what they are going to do — they just do it. Paul Westrum Albert Lea
Paul Westrum is a racist crank. There, I said it. Somebody had to.
You have to ask yourself, what sort of a moron of a newspaper editor keeps publishing his letters?
Albert Lea has an image problem. This garbage isn't helping.
If you want to attract fresh faces and new ideas to your community, this is not the way to do it.
If Paul Westrum wants to live in a country with machine guns on every corner, perhaps we should take up a collection and make arrangements for him to stay in Israel.

Where is race mentioned in regards to the person that resides at 1600?
What do you have against machine guns?

Westrum is possible white supremacy material. But he's the type who hasn't the balls to actually do it.
It's telling to see none of the other regular neo-fascist Trib letter writers back up Paul. He's a bit too wacky even for that crowd.
C'mon, Paul. Just come out of the closet. Free yourself from your semi-secret cultist life. Become a bona fide fascist.

Good grief. I wonder what kind of paper would continue to print Wayne, Patrick and the guy with the girls name's letters? I learned to loathe David's weekly columns, but the paper seems to give freedom of expression to many or perhaps all.
I happen to agree with some of the things Paul writes. I take it, you would like to call me some of those names also.
You need to remember to turn on the lights before using your OTC meds. I think you got your Orajel and Preparation H mixed up.

I drove out to Denver a couple weeks ago and driving through rural Nebraska I was thinking that Paul Westrum must have never been through that state if he thinks this country is full.

I did not mean to imply that Westrum's particular brand of crazy was totally encapsulated by this latest example in the Fishwrap. I presumed everyone was familiar with his history. And I didn't mean to suggest that anyone's access to free speech should be suppressed. I gave everyone enough credit to see where I was going with this. My bad.

Israeli society is just a short spit from once aparteid South Africa and other neolithic tribal societies in the area. It's uncanny how americans feel oblidged to blindly support this regime of religious zealots.
