I never condemned her writing because she is conservative. I asked what her credentials were to write the article, and I asked what "conservative values" she learned from her tribe? Unlike you do with a liberal perspective, I don't necessarily condemn conservatives. I don't agree with their social agenda, but that's okay.

I don't have to defend my opinions in detail.
I have given you a few ideas about what I see is wrong with the article. But why would I bother to refute an unsupported argument? I don't owe you or anyone else an explanation.

She's the one that wrote the article without supporting her views -- and you linked to it and thought it "interesting" without saying what you thought was "interesting" about it.

You have still not stated what you found so "interesting" about it -- other than it appears to condemn Obama. I'm sorry that you can't see that the article is badly flawed as a piece of journalism. I quite surprised a reputable publication, liberal or conservative would publish such a piece. If you are aware of any legitimate sources that further define this "African Colonel" or whatever it is she calls, I would be interested in reading it. I've actually known a couple of African colonels and generals who came up as bush officers under the Soviet influence.

I'm not sure why you are complaining about my offering my credentials as a basis for my opinions -- you certainly do so when the topic of global warming comes up. I think it is a legitimate question when you are claiming some sort of special insight.
