Shaun Keller's "letter from RR"
*************
Dear Mr. Keller:

Frankly I don't know what to say to you. We don't get many letters
like yours and to be compared to something as evil as the Nazi empire
is really shocking. I can only respond by saying that if you will
take some time to study our political philosophy you will discover
that we are freedom and peace loving people trying to promote democracy
at home and abroad. Sure we have a troubled foriegn policy and a trend
toward big government, but that hardly makes us war mongers or facists.
Here's hoping that you'll come to understand us.

                                Yours for freedom,

                                RR

Except for the explicit reference to the Nazi party, this sounds very
like the things Hitler ACTUALLY said!  The "letter" was supposed to
show how silly the question was about why Reagan rallies look like
Hitler rallies.  I thought it was a silly question, too, but that letter
got me to be thinking again ....
