To: Publius
That was a memorable exchange - contrast that to the feeble "debates" we get now. We still get a lot of sound and fury, but little substance.

And as much as I disagree with Mr. Vidal, he was given a forum in the 60's and 70's, as he should have been. Today, the Leftists in our Universities and media pre-empt the opposition - that would be people like me - from having any say. They're operating straight from the Bolshevik Playbook!

It stinks to High Heaven - this is not what I went to war for!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
