"The leader of a statewide veterans group who fought for homeless veterans in Colorado Springs is in jail in Denver today, unmasked as a former mental patient who posed as a wounded Marine officer and 9/11 survivor. The man who called himself Rick Duncan - purportedly a former Marine captain and 1997 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy - is in fact 31-year-old Richard Glen Strandlof, a former mental patient who never served in the military and falsely claimed that he was in the Pentagon during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to David Walsh of the Colorado Veterans Alliance (CVA), which Duncan founded."

Watching Capt Rick's videos on YouTube are hilarious knowing this. But Better look quick as Libs are pulling them off the web pretty quickly.

The point I take away is that we need to have a little more critical investigation into our political crusaders. Sure he speaks well, sure he sounds like he knows what he's talking about, Sure he claims experience and credibility. But just because the left-wing press agrees with what he says is no excuse for abdicating their responsibility for critical inquiry.

you know what that sounds like?

anyway, i think people just need critical thinking skills in general. question EVERYONE who says something. not just political crusaders. there are so many bullshitters out there who get the press's (and the public's) attention (in all political persuasions) that it's pretty disheartening.
