Arizona Monkeys and American Leftists

My latest opinion piece at Western Free Press is now available.

Full disclosure: I close my commentary with a rather harsh statement aimed at Left-leaning individuals. I engaged in such harshness because of the stakes involved with "fake news." Specifically, that some errors of opinion (i.e. those held by a James Hodgkinson) are far from harmless.

It's one thing to have a harmless error of opinion. (After all, we all have some errors of opinion: it's part of the human condition.) It's quite another to have an error of opinion that drives you to commit a crime. Yes, it is harsh of me to point this out. Well, what's worse: pointing this out, or remaining silent till another James Hodgkinson chooses to commit another heinous act?

I am a happily married middle-aged man who served his country as a nuclear-trained US Navy sailor during the peacetime years of the late 1980s. I re-entered civilian life before the First Gulf War. Though I trained for war as part of my military duties, I saw no combat during my service. War games were as close to combat, and its perils, that I ever got.

In civilian life I experienced a varied career, culminating with being a departmental Help Desk / Network Administrator / Computing Support technician in the University of Virginia's then-named Office of Development and Public Affairs. (The current reorganized / renamed department is now the University Advancement Office and University Communications.)

I got my first taste for political writing by posting comments to other writers' commentaries on American Thinker and The American Spectator web sites. I posted my comments under the user name "TwoShoes."

I still, on occasion, post comments on those sites using that moniker. These days, however, most of my political commentary is now posted and published on the WesternFreePress.com site.
