net- the article you linked to is extremely interesting and i can't say i disagree with it. your inclusion of your military history and heroes list is impressive. however, as bright as you sometimes appear to be, you seem to have a mental block regarding hypotheticals. if everything you have said is 100% true and factual and if everything everyone else has said is 100% false and fictional-if Jesse admitted to being anti-semitic would you then abandon him? or is there a reading comprehension problem? did you not say or imply that you have been a Jackson supporter for many years? i find it interesting that you made an earlier anti-semitic comment about pulpits (for which you apologized). i asked for moderation for that(before your apology) and then you run to the moderators for getting questioned about supporting a documented anti-semite. i guess you believe as your friend Jackson does, that one can say anything and that a subsequent apology negates it.

"I am a former Army Officer, I served under Colin Powell as one of his staff Officers."
"... my Uncle is a Federal Judge, my mother had a PhD in History."
Seems to me that when someone cites their background as a means of lending weight to their argument they should be prepared to provide enough detail so that their claims might be independently verified.
