Anyone can easily lie about their history and accomplishments on an anonymous forum such as HA. I’ve been a part of this community for over two years. I’ve been reading chefmike and Quinn for about that long as well. From their posts I know their arguments to be well reasoned and their claims (political and personal) to be consistent over time. I never had any reason, what-so-ever, to doubt their honesty.
On the other hand, PeterKisser has been with us since October of this year and posts nothing but off the cuff idiocies and personal attacks. If you want a better sense of what Americans think, you might try a more reliable source than Borat.
