The more<\/a> I read Publius Decius Mus, the more impressed I become.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is this man?  Why does he write under a pseudonym?  And what does it say about the so-called 'liberal,' 'progressive' scum who have created a climate in which a person cannot speak his mind under his own name seriously and thoughtfully without  fear of reprisal?<\/span><\/p>\n
