I don't read many of his posts unless they are to me so I missed the latest round of blaming other for his bad manors. The thing that is sad and yet funny is that in order to justify his no stockpiles faith he has to define a stockpile as anything organized neatly in a warehouse yet manufactured while the UN inspection team was all over Iraq harassing every time they tried to set up a production facility. (Or manufactured after Iraq only had enough money to construct Saddam's palaces and pay his military.) Again, be careful about defining what his or anyone else’s shortcomings say about them. A person condemned will conduct miraculous mental gymnastics to rationalize their actions to themselves. He discards anything that you, I or any other member not part of the leftwing extremist club as wrong on the face. Only the output of the most leftwing sources is true or worthy of consideration. Always remember that Ted is not the reason we post to him. He is actually a straw man that can be must be constantly challenged so that lurkers can recognize that he is an extremist partisan. Once lurkers recognize the character of people they read, they learn to discount them as lacking in balance. Eventually we realize that responding with the same lack of respect that he and American Spirit do only make people you might otherwise influence discount our posts. Though I often fall short of my goal, I attempt to treat everyone with more respect than they deserve. It seems best to have goals.
