No flattery taken, and you totally misread my original intent. You've become so defensive on Chief Moose's behalf all of the sudden that you actually suggest critiquing the
politics of the chief figure in an important news story is somehow wrong. Imagine that, examining a national figure's politics, on
Free Republic of all things? How could I have been so silly? I'm simply suggesting that perhaps people should move beyond their "feelings" here.
I didn't originally post the resume and I haven't commented on Chief Moose until now. I simply made some rather serious observations regarding this guy's likely politics, when the resume was posted. You may think I am "nitpicking," while I would suggest you were simply gushing with a little too much deference to the man's "accomplishments." Some people's "accomplishments" scare me.
I wasn't defensive at all. I merely made a statement of fact, i.e., that's an impressive resume, which it is.
Perhaps you're offended because I don't have your narrow view of things. Sorry.
