I apologize if I unfairly lumped you in with the crowd who wasted no time attacking the writer, yet can't refute any of the points in the article. The most pertinent point of the biography I pasted in is this line:

I don't personally know Roberts, and don't care to meet him. I have read his articles occasionally, as I have those of Sowell, Williams, et. al., for over 25 years. While I may not agree 100% with any of them, that doesn't prevent me from considering the information they present.

Roberts' credentials and resume may be impressive, but the fact that he's writing articles for NewsMax today tells me that his best days are a long way behind him.

I have no patience for people who harken back to a brief period in our nation's history (the post-WW2 years from 1945-1960) and incessantly lament that "things were better back then" for one reason or another in economic terms, without recognizing that this period was not the norm in U.S. history -- it was an anomaly.
