I just comment on threads “out there” as a sort of duty. ;-)
IMHO a person’s utitlity hinges 100% on motive. I do not trust Sundance. There is no better blinder than personal motive especially when presenting oneself otherwise.
In fact the more it’s a money-making thing for them, the less I trust them. Comes a point where it’s pretty apparent that the top ones (Rush, Hannity, Praeger, etc) are sincere because they’ve got too much at risk to be found out to be a phony. But Ann Coulter, Gregg Jarrett, and many others I put on the bubble. They could be sincere or they could be libs wrapped in whatever clothing happens to sell the best. I don’t automatically discount people like Sundance, and while Reagan said, “trust but verify”, I prefer to verify first, then trust. Or not. And when a person operates in the shadows of the internet under a stage name (as opposed to say, Mark Bradman), it’s impossible to verify anything about them.
