Gene,

Do we consider
someone patriotic if their perception of "wrong" is different than
ours?

I like your definiton. But it raises more questions. Do we consider

Did the Rosenberg's have a different perception of "wrong"?

(Sorry, Gene, but that's sounding a bit like relativism or subjectivism)

But great benefit to the glass vendor/contractors (who vote).

Yes. Most spies do.

Nope. They are considered Anti-American, added to the DHS's
database of suspected terrorists, and possibly kidnapped at 4AM and
sent to a secret prison in Afghanistan.

Congratulations! You are the winner of being the 1st occupant of my loony bin!

Boyer is a pilot. His organization seeks to contribute to the annual
budget deficit by insisting that the subsidies provided to GA continue.
He cares only about pilots' "rights," but doesn't give a hoot about
taxpayers and other victims of GA.


And -- just what is Boyer supposed to do -- roll over and play dead
before every crackpot who comes along, claiming that GA has "victims"
and "doesn't pay its way?"

You consider the federal Bureau of Transportation Statistics to be
"crackpots," while holding Boyer in high regard???

You consider the Reason Foundation to be crackpots?

That's fine. Fact: GA avgas taxes contribute about 5%. Doesn't take
a rocket scientist to realize that that doesn't cover the cost of all
the grants to GA airports, let alone the $150k annual operating grants
some receive. Add in the state and local grants, and what you have,
quite clearly, is a GA welfare state.

Which is why we have a *large* surplus in the aviation trust fund and
that surplus is getting ever larger?
