Reginald, I've a serious question for you personally. Regarding rhetoric surrounding the GI Bill passed with strong. bipartisan support in 1944. I imagine you were as surprised as I was to learn that the original author was the former Chairman of the Republican National Committee and former president of the American Legion, and that the American Legion played a central role in pushing through that legislation. I understand that in ignorance you (and I) believed it to be a Democratic achievement. However, now we both know of the central Republican role as well. So I'm wondering if, in the future when you hear people making misleading or inaccurate statements to take sole credit for their party or to FDR alone, do you intend, out of fairness, to correct them? Because it clearly was a bipartisan product. An important one.
The reason I'm asking is that at times I have corrected conservatives when they cite a falsehood or misleading point to support a position. Yet I have also seen zealous advocates continue to do so, even when they know the truth, I suppose under the rationale that the end justifies the means.
