After receiving another ultra right-wing email forwarded to me by the secretary of my Scottish Rite Valley, I am nearly ready to demit from the Scottish Rite.
I am increasingly apalled at the intolerant, bigoted and racist attitudes of many of my AASR brothers. At the reunion where I received the degrees of the Scottish Rite, I left the lunch table after listening to many brothers loudly condemning "ragheads and faggots" and that Democrats were unpatriotic and should be shot for not supporting the war in Iraq.
I wrote the Supreme Grand Commander, but do not expect to receive a reply......and still have not although 3 months have passed.
As a Scottish Rite Mason I swore to uphold freedom of conscience, religion and expression, to safeguard the seperation of church and state. From what I have seen, these oaths are worthless to too many of the SR.

Holy Smokes Brother. And you live in Washington State? I am totally amazed considering the post about the Lodge that openly accepts gay brothers. I wish you well, brother.

I commend you on taking a stand against the attitudes of pigs.
