As I read Bryan van Bergan's screed, I found myself choking. I simply was unable to swallow his claim to be a former Republican. It may be true if he was kidnapped by NOW, ritualistically castrated, lobotomized and brain-washed into some sort of 21st century Manchurian candidate. Otherwise, I feel he is another bottom feeder from Democratic Underground with the principals and morals of a tomcat.

His claim that writers and editors that offer opinion articles are "mental midgets" because they do not balance their pieces and pay homage to a "God filled universe" is an exercise on self delusion. A true "mental midget" is one who believes the AP does not favor one side or offer opinions in it's reports and Dan Rather was not trying to influence the election with his 60 Minutes II hit piece.

p>My final piece of advice is one given to me long ago, "if you think you're going to say something stupid keep your mouth shut, lest you open it and remove all doubt!" br> -- Scotty Uhrich br> Glyndon, Minnesota /p> p> Memo to Mr. Bryan van Bergen: Starting your screed with the words "As a former Republican..." suggests that you were only a RINO to begin with, and went to New Jersey to be converted to who knows what. Having discredited yourself with your first sentence (a masterpiece of ignorance in sentence structure and grammar), you showed that the rest of your blather was not worth reading. Get a life sir, although I know it must be hard to do in the salt marshes and pine barrens. I think however, that you might feel right at home in the cranberry bogs. br> --
