Ted, <Which one[s]?> I'll choose one. It's more philosophical and politically neutral than his other opinions: Character does matter, however leadership does not descend from character. Many of the worlds most powerful leaders had very little character. Leadership descends from the ability to take control of a situation, which has nothing to do with character. The Expert says, "on this one, Rush is wrong." Now, I disagree with "The Expert," for leadership is indeed derived from character. The character need not be a good one, though. That may be the basis of disagreement here, but I digress. The point is that nowhere does "The Expert" state anywhere that he is expressing an opinion. Instead, he passes off a fallacious argument as a fact, as if it is able to stand on its own merit. In the end, "The Expert" commits a lot of the same mistakes Rush makes. At least Rush sometimes takes a tongue-in-cheek approach in order to make a point. "The Expert" takes the whole issue of "facts" way too seriously, in my opinion, as do many people during an argument or debate. Tenchusatsu
