Anyone who read this diary yesterday and the entire Daily Kos community deserves that I write this short message. In fact it should be a demand. This will be brief and to the point.
It is a heart felt apology.
From my opening statement the words I wrote must have curled the spines of progressives and all my fellow Kossacks. I lost all control of my emotion as I painted such a Giant Democrat as Henry B. Gonzales a wanna-be politician. Those words are the ones that tore me apart because taken at face value, it was not my intention that the words come out that way. The man was truly a fatherly figure to me and wanted what was best for my future at the time. I have no excuse or than to say everything came out wrong. My progressive family, I am deeply sorry. I cannot find the correct button in my mind to tell me why I did this.
Those who have read and followed Ole Texan have seen me write like a ritual, that I do
not do politics in my diaries. I write from the heart. I avoid profanities and I respect every writer here. Yesterday I stepped in a ugly pile, and I want you to know that I am asking for your permission to delete the diary. Yes, this is your diary. I wrote it for you.
It should not adorn the pages of this website. I am sure about that.
I waited for one single negative comment from someone to pull the string myself and do it. Any comment that may have pointed to my negative views in the diary as read, I was ready to delete the diary. But you all showed me how restrained and able to keep your feeling for an old man in check. I am honored and I thank you for that.
I have been here long enough to know that my kind of thoughts yesterday should never be allowed written in this website. If I could take back every word I wrote in text above the orange curl I would, but I cannot take it out of your mind.
I need your guidance. Tell me if I should take this crap down. I gladly will.
I apologize. I am sincerely sorry if I offended my family here.
