I've read the idiotic Communist Manifesto yet remain an avid defender of freedom and am wholly against dictatorship in any and all forms, and read Darwin's Origins yet remain an avid "creationist," and more. To opine that a "perspective" isn't "worth much" is to argue that information -- even opposing information -- isn't worth much...Isn't it odd that we are discussing such as this on a forum by the marvelous name of Free Republic.

Promoting the causes of the far Left both home and abroad as good and virtuous is not what is generally done on a conservative, American forum. That's what this post does. That is not the same thing as what you are writing here...quit changing the context of the discussion.

--- "Promoting the causes of the far Left both home and abroad as good and virtuous"

That is a scurrilous lie. I certainly am not "promoting the cause of the far Left."

As to changing the "context" of any discussion, I referred at all times back to the original post made by Cathi, observing an "unenforced error" by another, not you, and then merely adding something from my own experience to subsequent exchanges.

I am an American who has worked and lived in a number of other nations, currently reside in the states, and am perhaps even more "conservative" than many who post here who rubberstamp such as CDC pronouncements, NY Times articles, and the like.

"Promoting the causes of the far Left" is an idiotic accusation, if you aim it at me. But then you write also, "sometimes the passions of an intense debate have brought out the worst in me."
