Kathie Lee, you spoke the other day without any regard to the "modern day" Pagan Community. Your comments, at our expense, were completely without merit and flatly and categorically denied by the Pagan Community. Did you even know that there was a modern day Pagan Community? I am filled with great pride and respect for the Pagans who came before me who paved the way for me to write this article in a public forum, for all to see, without fear of retribution.
Before you cast aspersions for our ilk, perhaps you may wish to know who we are. We are teachers, doctors, lawyers, common folk. We are Nielson raters, we are consumers, we are boycotters, picketers, and voters. We are your neighbors, your police officers, your service men and women. We cry, we feel, we bleed and we reason. It is unthinkable that you would choose the same words to use toward Christians, even given their violent histories, is it not? Yet, you never batted an eye lash when you chose your words to cast disparaging shadows upon Pagans.
Be mindful that we are everywhere and we matter. If not to you, to one another. A sincere apology would be in order, but better still, an education on what precisely a Pagan is, may be a better way for you to make amends. Educate yourself so that you might educate others. Consider who we are before casting your aspersions upon our community. Some of us died for your freedoms. Sargent Patrick Stewart - Brave to the end, died in the war and our government was attempting to thwart his grieving widow's ability to place a pentacle upon his head stone. Why? For the same reason you didn't bat an eye lash. Sargent Stewart was not a "nasty" Pagan, when he placed his own life down for your's and mine, equally. Suppose that were your son, Cody? The shoe on the other foot pinches, does it not?
An apology, please.
