• The following comment and response is to comments reguarding a few of my articles published at opednews.com.

"Our Resident Stealth Neo-con think tank speaks" Mac

Unbelievably, this is just a short sample of reader's comments that I have received in the past 3 days. The Iraq war is a volatile issue which provokes and seeds anger and resentment from all perspectives.  The stance that I have chosen is drawn from my own personal opinion and not talking points from parties on either side of the aisle. Disturbingly many of the comments I have received demonstrate that there is no longer any room for objectiveness from individuals to re-examine the issues that plague our society today. Even more surprising, that it would occur on an opinionated based website regardless of its political ideologies. I am no more a republican (or neo con contrary to popular belief) than I am a democrat.  Honestly the notion of either party sickens me as an entity.  I believe if one was to look at the body of my work, or the entries of my blog that they would find a distinct educated individuals opinion based upon the moral, ethical, religious principles he holds to be true.  As a writer I accept any and all comments and criticisms that readers of my work feel encouraged to return.  Please do not construe this reply as a notion that feedback is not wanted as that is not the case. I believe that only through a myriad of perspectives and opinions can we then find an ideal solution that works in a society such as ours. I look forward to submitting more material at this site for you all to consider, whether you agree with it or not. I only ask that you refrain from pre-judging myself or others solely based upon a single issue!

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." - JFK
