The problem with Ann Coulter is that she's a simple-minded jingoist

who appeals to reactionary authoritarians.  The difference between Kyuma and Coulter, Corbin, is that Kyuma has credibility...

Exactly, RaeS. Honesty is met with cynicism and suspicion. Duplicity

generally wins out.

Good post, Saul

I suppose the public at large is so accustomed to politicians spinning and manipulating almost everything in order to suit a shadow agenda (winning contributions and elections the number one effort) that whenever sincerity of belief or thought is presented, it's missed or dismissed.

Right you are, dark mistree, but it must be stressful as hell to a

politician to have his words taken out of context and twisted -- or is simply poetic justice?

It wouldn't have mattered what he said, somebody still would have criticized him for it. You can't please all the people all the time....as the saying goes
