You don't forgive him for what? Cat Scratch Fever? Lousy tune, but why hold a grudge for so long?
A bit wanting in character he is. Pulled some serious sh-t to avoid serving during the Vietnam era and arranged the adoption of a 16-17 (depending our source) year old island girl that he could not legally marry when he was near twice her age. Want to bet a paycheck that he was just being a benevolent dad by picking up some poor orphan? A little surfing can pull it up. Some combinations like Nugent, draft dodging, Hawaii etc will shake it out.
Struts around like he's a great American. He'd make a great politician (deny, redirect, or ignore, and it all goes away). He's great with the choir, but I don't think he's generated a single convert on 2nd Amend issues from outside the church.
