Thank you for your thoughtful, but patronizing, comment. Life is too short to argue the finer points, but as an American, I find it to be rather stupid to use the word 'Liberal' as a pejorative. Yet, I am called un-American because I was on to Fred's son 40 years ago when I was covering the Michigan Panthers in the USFL and later when he ran his casino's (into the ground). The man wants Biden in prison, for Pete's sake. And wants to kill off people like me (disabled, I have a life-long birth defect, Cerebral Palsy), just like Hitler did before he came after the Jews. Yet, I have a good life. Could be better, but I'm 65. I'm sorry, but you and Dodd must have made that infamous wrong turn at Albuquerque. And being a Doctor, you obviously have patients like me and get re-imbursements from Medicaid and Medicare, yet you rail against the infamous 'welfare queen' that St. Ronnie of Dementia talked about when the real person was a white woman convicted of $4000. And poor little Johnny, on drugs and all that. Not to mention it took six, almost seven years to mention the word AIDS. Because their friend, Roy Fitzgerald, was dying (he never legally changed his name).
Spoken like a true liberal.
Yes Burns is a true liberal.
He is also a true American even if we disagree with him in some ways.
I am a conservative but I can hear the best in both sides.
That is what he is asking us to do.

Kent,
I apologize.
I am sorry for anything patronizing I said to you.
I misunderstood your meaning.
I thought you were making a sarcastic statement about liberals, so I was defendingiberals and defending Burns.
No, you were not speaking against liberals, I now realize.
You have great respect for liberals
So do I.
And I am 100% voting for Biden.
I never speak against him.
He and his wife are true patriots.
I am totally opposed to Trump.
You are absolutely right that he and his fascist henchmen will kill
people like you and anyone else they figure is in their way.
In future I will be more careful with my words.
I'm sorry my words made you angry.
I am friend not foe.
Thank you for replying so I could
clarify that.
I wish you good strength and spirit
and I pray Joe Biden wins
for the good of us all.
Blessings,
Dr. Deborah Hall
