Wait. Does it matter who wrote the article? Unless it says things that aren’t true, I don’t care if Stalin himself wrote it.

I’m much more shocked to see such blatantly leftist tactics deployed on FR than seeing an article by this author.

We - Have no fear of the truth, no matter the source.
We - Don’t attempt to discredit the information by Ad Hominem. That’s what the other side does.

Well, there’s another small business gone under the Obama Administration.

Short answer: yes.
I trust Obama not at all.

“You’d trust the Russians more than obama? “

Well, Pravda carries more truthful stories than MSNBC.

That said, no I don’t trust the Russians. But I do trust the Russians not to make all your emails casually available to the IRS, DEA, whatever to troll for whatever they decide is illegal today.

They say the average american commits three felonies a day the laws have gotten so cumbersome, so if and when they want to get you, they will. No sense in making it easy.

>> What has [Tim Robbins] said since...

Former Senator Feingold was an outspoken critic of Bush’s programs. Although, he eventually lost his seat, I don’t recall any complaints he had about Bush’s successors.

My point was that Ackerman is one of a very few journalists who have behaved so unethically that they no longer deserve to be treated as journalists. At this point the content of his articles doesn't matter, and his politics don't matter. Find me a conservative journalist who is as unethical as Ackerman and I'll add him to the "avoid" list.

I don’t care if Stalin himself wrote it.

Would you care if Walter Duranty wrote it?

How could you fail to notice that I answered that in my second post?

(My guess: Probably the same way you failed to notice my question about Duranty.)

Please, go deliberately misunderstand someone else.

I failed to notice that you answered that question in your second post. So I went and read all your posts, you have not answered the question.

What part of this article is not true?

If a corrupt and sinful man cannot lead us to Christ, then who could find him?

I haven’t missed or misunderstood anything you’ve written. I’ve only pointed out that you’ve made no argument against the information presented, only attacked the messenger.

This is the very reason I ignored your Duranty comment. Duranty lied, and it has been proven that he lied.

This is not the same situation at all. You have not shown that any of the information in the original article is untrue.

Feel free to go deliberately misunderstand someone else yourself. I’m here for the long haul.

I agree. What is this flaming Communist A-hole doing writing stuff like this? It doesn’t add up.

I don’t now, but did years ago. It’s very straightforward if the recipient is also using it. Less so, if not.

hushmail looks like a pretty good service - free for up to 25 MB. Plus, it's hosted in Canada that has much better privacy enforcement. I ran a huge SAAS banking app. Banks / credit unions in Canada wouldn't use the SAAS version because of the Patriot Act privacy infringements.

"When you send an email from Hushmail to another Hushmail member, we encrypt the contents of the email and deliver it to that member’s Inbox. When that member later opens the email it will automatically be decrypted.

When you send an email from Hushmail to someone who is using another email provider, you can choose to encrypt the contents of the email by typing a secret question and answer. The recipient must be able to answer that question in order to decrypt and read the email."
