You say that a person who has an idiotic stance is an idiot, and I say that they just have an idiotic stance.
I know plenty of people who have ideas which I consider 'idiotic' who are far from being either 'nincompoops,' 'incompetants,' or 'idiots.'
I believe strongly in arming pilots, but I still don't think Mineta is an idiot. I believe in at least limited profiling, but his disagreement with that doesn't, in my view make him incompetant.
Difference in perspective, I guess...........but I DO trust the President, whether I understand this decision or not.
I'll grant you that. Mineta has an idiotic stance on important issues. Whether or not he's actually an idiot is, I suppose, irrelevant. He should be replaced either way.
