6. I will give the man his due AND flame away.

His "due" is a place in the Hell he imagined his enemies were going to. The deaths of one hundred thousand probably rest at his feet.

He connived to thwart the will of the people in the Iran-Contra affair -making him a traitor to the Constitution he swore to uphold.

He went on a secret mission to Iran to KEEP the hostages imprisoned long enough to get Reagan in office -another traitorous act.

He is the spawn of generations of greedheads who launched themselves into the air by stepping on the backs of countless numbers of others, burying them in the process.

And if you defend him as vigorously as you do and for such thin reasons as "he was doing what he thought correct" , you confirm my suspicion that you are the Conservative I have come to believe you are.

NEVER FORGET that even Hitler was doing what he thought best for his country and people.
