My reply was not about you or what you said. I asked a
general and rhetorical question.
Why is it that when people specualte about what the
president and the administration might be up to they
imply that a Nixonian ploy or conspiracy plot must be
hatching? I think it's sort of a game. Call it
Conspiracy or Clue or Clueless. And, I think it's the
way that the 60s generation learned to think about
presidents and the government. It has its merits, but
it has its limits.

Add whatever you like. If you want to get to the facts
you will have to say something about them. If you
prefer to make this thread about me and what I know
from the inside you can expect precious little from me
that is either persuasive or to the point. Why did CFA
toss that innuendo at me? What's it to him? I've said
nothing that justifies that kind of question about me
and my family realtions.
What difference does it make how he voted in an
election? I could care less. I'm surprised that person
of his learning could be persueded to change his vote
basded on a smear campaign, but it has nothing
whatever to do with his inability to defend the
scholasship of an article or a book he endorses.
I'm simply not going to read a bunch of googled links
and reply to paste and post. If you have something to
say, say it. If you or CFA or anyone can defend the
article, the book, and make a case that there are
facts that add up to a Bush Nazi connection and that
the Bush family made their fortune by dealing with
Nazis why haven't we read it here?
CFA has not provided an answer to my questions. He
asks me to make sense of cut and paste with no
comments or explainations of his own and to look at
the notes and references. I did. It doesn't add up to
a hill of beans.
