t, I will abide by thread rules as I have stated. I've actually been milder in my rapport than others on this thread thus far IMO. As for my political leanings, they may not be what many think. I know the perceptions of many are that I'm a right winger, which isn't close to the truth. I support President Bush in this war based on what the Administration has said from the start & what has actually transpired as time has passed & events unfolded. That does not mean I am in complete agreement with this Administration & all of its' policies by any means. As for political propaganda, it's a sad truth & it's widely used & parroted by many here on SI. Too bad folks can't see it for what it is & condemn it rather than embrace it in support of their political affiliation. IMO, it serves no useful purpose other than to mislead others for political gain. As for distortion, well........
