Fred writes opinion pieces. I don't know what his true thoughts are, just his articles. His archives are worth perusal. He's been at it for a while. Put on a Marine uniform and went to Vietnam. Got a little cynical from the experience regarding government and the brass. His wife was or is a teacher. Her job landed him there.
I've never been more than a few miles from the border, so can't tell someone who has that they're wrong.
The exchange of ideas and information is a good thing. Ad Hominem attacks are a sign of weakness.
It's unfortunate and I hate to say this, but I know some really really lefty Vietnam Vets. I know one whose wife owns a media company, so unfortunately he has access to large amounts of funds. Needless to say, We don't talk much. His wife is a fun, bubbly and generous person. He is a stewing clod.
