You're welcome for the response.

I hope that I, in no way, hinted that you were a "bleeding heart liberal". I, most certainly am not!

I did not know Mencken, the man, so can not say whether I liked him or not. I can say, from your examples and others, I do not like most of the things he had to say. It appears, to me, that he was one of those intellectuals who considered himself so vastly superior in thought than any other human on the planet, that he could pontificate his bilge, and because of his exalted status, the peons would automatically believe it to be fact.

I may have trod on toes here, but am giving my honest opinion.

Regards,
