Thanks, Carol. I'm neither a facist or extremist.

That remark stemmed from the postings you have made that appeared, to me at least, to emphasize the "bad" things America has done (and admittedly it has) rather than the good things America has done for the world. In a post or two it appeared to me that you (along with several others) felt that U. S. policies in the past were somehow responsible for the terrorist attacks, and we were invited to view the situation from the terrorist's point of view.

I felt that statements of that type were less than supportive of our country at a time when the majority of the people in America were showing a great spirit of unity.

I don't question, however, your right to hold these views if that's how you feel.

The courtesy remark did not in anyway refer to you, L.H., and many others who identify themselves as Liberals. The Conservative view on the Mudcat is, however, not a popular point of view as I'm sure you will agree. Often when we express our opinion on a given subject replies posted by Liberals are less than kind. No point in naming names, they know who they are.
