Dana, if Free Republic was Leo’s blog, then you might have a point. His research doesn’t necessarily stand on its own because it hasn’t been tested. If that’s too blunt, so be it.
Well, Leo doesn’t post here. In this case, I did. SO holding Leo responsible for that is nonsensical to begin with.
As for Leo’s research, every time he makes a claim, EVERY TIME, he sources it, and makes it available to everyone to see it for themselves. Are all his conclusions correct? Well, I have yet to see the man proved wrong, it doesn’t happen very often. His critical thinking is undeniably very acute indeed.
So if you want to challenge his conclusions, you are welcome to as it is part of a healthy discussion, which ultimately is the main point. If we do NOT discuss it and come to our own conclusions, then we are merely being dictated to by the powers that be who tell us what to do and think. Thanks but no.
So please do challenge Leo’s research, bring research of your own to the table and lets discuss it. But lets do so in a spirit of truth and a dedication to logical critical thinking. Not out of a blind knee jerk reaction due to a source who rubs you the wrong way. I will try to do the same! :)
FReep on Bro!
