Last week, at the request of radio host Bryan Suits, I posted a plea to help an Iraqi translator gain a work Visa to come to America.  I had no idea that a simple request for help, a situation where I gain nothing, would generate a cynical post deriding my values and motivations.

The blog, EFFin’ Unsound, is basically a liberal blog designed to watch and report on Sound Politics and Evergreen Freedom Foundation.  The author also notes that many smaller blogs are also unsound, so that must mean me.

I feel honored to join such distinguished company.

You can read Mr Ballard’s (not his real name) dissection of my post here.  I will post his comments and respond here.

Many local  rightie bloggers are upset about what’s happening to Iraqi translator/ friend of a semi-well known radio host, Alaa. And I sympathize.

Your compassion is underwhelming.

But the problem isn’t that we’re not letting this particular immigrant in, it’s that we aren’t letting enough people in who want to come in.

Good morning and happy Monday.
