May I speculate here that Mr VA
'the Laaw-ya' Advogado serves not our country, but only himself, by raking in handsome fees from frightened ILLEGAL Mexicans who have, shall we say ... INS problems.
This is what he would call 'service to the country'.
I've read quite a few comments by Mr. VA in other threads. I've come to the conclusion that he a republicratic statist. If he were alive during the days of our founding fathers, he would have been considered a Tory and shunned accordanly. From what I gather in reading the (admittedly) few threads I've seen his name in, his belief appears to be that the government is never wrong and anyone who questions anyone in any position of authority is not only a threat to society but a traitor also.
If he ever did serve, he was probably a Frank Burns type leg REMF.
RLTW!
