THE DIRTY DOZEN

JOE M   WILL B   JOHN B   JOHN K   DICK N   BARRY G  ANITA B    ROBERT B    RON R    SARAH P   MIKE F   DONNY T In the course of recent history and within the scope of my own memory there have been many public officials/candidates who because of their beliefs were criticized, ridiculed, demeaned, humiliated and boycotted.

My last article gave rise to several comments regarding ideas behind certain terms that were used. I’d like to present them here with my personal beliefs as to where they came from and what they mean. Feel free to embellish/challenge if anything troubles, bearing in mind these are simply how I see things – at the moment.
