It was not my intent by posting this thread to cause any obfuscation, dissension or unnecessary re-hashing of ground already covered on this subject by FReepers who have been here longer than I. Obviously I wasn't around for the 2007-8 discussion on the topic. I simply saw the story at American Thinker and thought it might merit some discussion on FR.
Anyone can take a look at over a year's worth of my comments on this subject and know I'm no fan of the usurper, to say the least!
