Aladdin,
It would seem that on one point I may have been mistaken. When fresc said, "wstera_02 " This guy is as right as they come on this board", I took it to mean Silicon Investor, not the CPF-F-A thread.
I did so for these reasons;
a) I consider SI a *bulletin board of individual, subject specific **threads,
b) I have never posted on or read the CPF-F-A thread,
c) I know fresc from several other threads on SI, but not from the CPF-F-A thread &
d) fresc has expressed similar views on other threads, such as he has on the CPF-F-A thread....

It is quite possible that fresc considers CPF-F-A to be a board & not a thread. If so, that changes the parameters of the discussion on the "to the right" dispute slightly.
I could very well be "to the right" or "righter than most" folks on the CPF-F-A thread if a vast majority of them are dead center, left of center or full fledged leftists.
However, it still leaves you expressing your personal opinion about my political beliefs sans any evidence whatsoever, ET AL (I'll address them in a follow up post).
