A loyal opposition party, and a member of that party who believes it is
dishonest and corrupt to either invent issues out of whole cloth (i.e.
the draft issue) or to ally and work with those who are most against
real individual liberty and property rights (radical leftists, WWP,
stalinists and other socialists, etc who are the leadership of the
anti-war movement), (not just their phony "social justice" (i.e. give
us your property or we'll shoot you)), or to propound conspiracy
theories that do not stand up to critical examination.
As such I am ethically bound to state the truth, no matter who it
skewers. If you can't put out an honest message based on facts you can
support with refs, then it is you who are the liar, the propagandist,
and the apologist.
