I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't understand your reasoning.
Many may agree Dusty, but I believe the BB has been a little less colorful without you.

No need. It was this very event in history that catapulted and fueled my desire to reacquaint myself with the "Federalist / Anti-Federalist Papers". For the life of me I couldn't figure out how Constitutional Experts could have such differing views of the same documents. So I read them for myself to draw my own conclusions. It also was the start of my writing to representatives in congress and Chief Justice Rehnquist. I don't know her motives for the choices she made, Dusty. Again, my remarks were related to the article and not her character.

I understand all that Dusty, as I noted she is shrewd. In the case of Benghazi, I am disgusted and have never felt she or this administration were competent. Again, this is outside the scope of the article or at least was in my view.

Only if you like pigs dressed in bling-bling. It's a pig with a star sapphire Rolex. I can observe that without making judgments to the type of pig or quality of jewelry. Dusty, I don't admire her -- I agree with the view she expressed about woman in the workplace that whine and think they have no choices.

None taken. I am a conservative, why does my reasoning in agreeing with that statement surprise you?

I do not take issue with being challenged as long as it's not done in an offensive manner. I read and participate on this board to learn and to continually challenge my own line of thinking.
