Our country is at war...speaking the truth to the enemy has nothing to do with winning that war.

And yet, that is exactly the approach our Founders took both figuratively and literally.

I will follow their example any day over the example of a Pragmatist.

By the way, it is also the approach Jesus took, and therefore, the correct path a Christian must take.

How effing stupid are you.

You don't share your plans with the enemy.

The Founding Fathers didn't do that and neither did Jesus.

BTW, this is the reason that Jesus spoke in parable...so that the enemy wouldn't understand what He was saying.

And they are still confounded by it.

Sorry about saying the "effing stupid" thing. I was wrong to say that.

This is just a passionate subject for all of us and I erred in the extreme.

I am an idiot. Forgive me for being blunt.

As you suggest, I speak the truth as I know it.

I am not always right...but I say it anyway.

That's what idiots do.
