I've never doubted you honestly and sincere intentions to inform.    You have probably provided the most research of anyone writing on this site in they years I've  been here.     I consider your rational integrity as your power base*I teased you about Perrry Mason, but that comes from my high school debate years.   In Lincoln Doublas you can cross ex, something I hadn't done.   The coach said: "you want your questions to make it perfectly clear that you opponent is wrong, but never attack in a Perry Mason moment expecting to break down the witness.

Your facts are solid.     Here's something to consider (my guess is you have), imagine yourself in the place of being a conservativer writer.    I've thought about it and think I could do a good job, better than the flame throwers!  I bet you could too.

I think there are good conservative arguements, some I disagree with, some I agree with, same stop me long enough to say.... "hmmmmm'   There is room for good people to disagree.
