Dick Caveat wrote an opinion piece for the NY Times (Sunday September 5th). It seems there aren't enough elitist, high society bigots writing for the Times, so they print the opinion of a 3rd rate talk show host whose only claim to fame is interviewing Forest Gump. In order to get the gist of my rebuttal, please read Cavett's piece "Real Americans, Please Stand Up". Here's the link:

Mr Caveat begins his whining with a tale about a phantom teacher from his lowly beginnings in Nebraska. How terrible for you, Dick, that you should have to admit that you even know there was a state named Nebraska, let alone that you were born and raised there. How sad for Nebraska, that someone of Caveat's limited intellect and athleticism was among the smartest and most agile among his peers. No, I'm not kidding.
So Dick regales us with a tale about threatening to rat-out Mrs G, his 6th grade teacher, as a rascist because she referred to people of Japanese descent as "dirty japs". What? Are you an idiot, Dick? In 1948, three years after Japanese surrender, the country was full of veterans with fresh memories of brothers in arms, who were not just killed by the Japanese, but butchered in heinous fasion, having their genitals cut off and stuffed in their mouths, left as a warning of the ruthless nature of the Japanese soldiers. You're right, Dick, Mrs G should have referred to them as "Our friends, the Japanese." I seriously doubt, Dick, your Mrs G would have been cowed by a 6th grader who knew nothing about the savagery of war. Or did your parents tell you that we deserved Pearl Harbor?
And what was the purpose of your next line "The rest of that year was difficult." Yeah, I'll bet it was. For Mrs G. Why did you then throw your dead uncle under a half-track by telling the world he blurted 'If I met a pregnant Japanese woman, I'd kick her in the belly.' Have you ever considered why your uncle would make such a statement? You claim that your uncle was merely repeating sentiment exersized by Admiral Halsey. I'm willing to lay odds that both your uncle and Adm Halsey saw many pregnant Japanese women in their lifetime and never once cocked a leg.
Dick reveals this heretical muckraking, evidently, to let us know that he has always been ashamed of "us". Really, Dick? And, who, pray tell, are these "us" to who you refer? While you're entitled to your opinion, Dick, it's a little hard to accept shame from a joke writer responsible for such gems as the one you wrote for Jack Paar, as an introduction for Jane Mansfield: "Ladies and gentleman, here they are, Jane Mansfield". No, there was nothing shameful or degrading in that intro, was there, Dick?
Then Caveat takes the gloves off and claims that everyone one of "us", who has spoken against the GZ Mosque is a bigot and/or a racist. How long have you been carrying that around inside, Dick?
Then Mr Caveat throws a dog a bone, remarking "surely few opponents of the Islamic Cultural Center would feel comfortable at the 'International Burn a Koran Day' planned by a southern (read "racist") church...". While Dick and Al Jazeera have joyously passed this on to their faithful, neither bothered to mention the unrelenting backlash by thousands of "southern" churches, disgusted that anyone would associate their church with such ill-will. Dick and Al Jazeera are only interested in that part of the truth that suits their political means. Well done, Dick.
Now Dick shows us the extent of his education at Yale by completely changing the First amendment's intent regarding the "freedom of religion". The freedom of religion clause was designed to keep the newly formed Federal Government of the United States from sticking it's nose in the states religous practices. Period. It was not a directive that every state had to accept and coddle every religion that came down the pike. Indeed, it wasn't until 1833 that the State of Massachusetts relinquished it's state sponsored religion, independent of Federal fiat. To consider the reality Islam and Islamists bring to our friends in Europe and find nothing disturbing is to be either dishonest or stupid. Our forefathers, like the MAJORITY of americans today, were people of common sense and if you think they would have sat idlly by while a religion and people hostile to the idea of the common good and individual freedom, inserted themselves, you are fatally mistaken. Your assertion that the Mohammedans in America loudly and universally condemned the events of 9/11, is indefensible. Other than a handful of people, both here and abroad, every Islamist nation in the world was either dancing in the streets or muttering to each other "take that you infidels!" Is it possible that you are really this disconnected? Or are you just stupid? As you said in your tirade in the times, Dick, "I'm just trying to understand".
With regard to eminent domain and private property, where were you and the Islamists when New London, CT trampled all over the rights of it's citizens? Secondly, I'm not aware of anyone declaring that the Masque "can't" be built two blocks from GZ. A fact that you have to ignore, otherwise it makes your eminent domain, private property argument moot.
In Dicks diatribe against "cheesy" republicans and spineless democrats, he give us a glimpse of the real Dick Caveat and, at the same time, answers the question "why does this right-wing repalincan keep referring to me as Dick Caveat?" For one thing, Dick could give a rats tuckus about the Constitution and it's amendments. No one who supports Obama has any business lecturing anyone on violating the constitution. Dick simply reviles those of "us" he considers as simple, unethical, poorly educated, trailer trash, nativists, incapable of defining the 1st amendment as befits an Ivy league Illuminati. My dog knows more about the constitution than Dick does and I don't have a dog.
I find it ironic, that one so educated, with an Ivy league pedigree, a "Yaley", could be so devoid of prudence that He doesn't realize that he is as guilty of degrading the 1st amendment, by denying our right to free speech, as He accuses "us" of being for denying freedom of religion by simply speaking freely against the building of the GZ mosque. How dare we, "us", be repulsed by the idea that people and money, which likely supported the commandeering of airplanes that were purposely crashed into the twin towers, is being used to build a religious shrine to the memory of those who sacrificed their lives, in the name of Allah, god of the Koran, killing over 3000 innocent people. What part of this don't you get? Dick.
