Thank you for this construtive reply. We must stick together instead of belitting everyone like the crazed left does. This does nothing but drive wedges between us and certainly dont need anymore at this time!
What appears on the surface to be harsh even “rude” is often what must be said. I don’t take offense when folks criticize what I have said which often needs more clarity.
Socrates found the best way to get at the truth is through argument which is a kind of battle. My comments are of that form. I should be called for it if I get personal and will apologize for it. But I will ridicule ideas and expect to get as good as I give.
