People also say he was. I am now one of those.

Not surprising. People say a lot of things - 300 newspapers closed, tens of thousands of political prisoners - and you accept that unquestioningly. Why should this be different?

I am not too proud to admit I was wrong. I used to be one of yours.

LOL! I await evidence of that with baited breath.

No, that is what you do when a claim fits your ideology.

Mr. Kalamata

DoodleDawg: "LOL! I await evidence of that with baited breath."

Kalamata does occasionally admit to and correct what is, in effect, a clerical mistake -- i.e., he said he misread a signature on a document thinking it was Lincoln's not Buchanan's.
But I point out similar type mistakes on nearly every one of Kalamata's posts and he has, so far as I can remember, never 'fessed-up to even one of those.

So he is only occasionally and highly selective in his "honesty".

He also claims to have experienced some sort of late-in-life conversion around 20 years ago, but the depth & breadth of his loathing for, say, Abraham Lincoln, doesn't sound to me like something a mature person could suddenly develop.
Rather it sounds like something some people learned with their mother's milk and bouncing on their daddy's knees.
And such Lincoln-loathing never came all by itself, but rather as one part of a package of ideas & feelings, many of which are no longer acceptable in polite company.
