"So why DO you hate freedom, Mr. Anderson?"
Leaving the reality-based shores, stepping into the lose-lose trap--
I often disagree with Delaware Dem, but on this, I think s/he's exactly right - both for strategy and rationale alike.
"My colleagues believe that I am wasting my time with you but I believe you want to do the right thing. It is obvious that you are an intelligent man, Mr. ( Read more... )

"We proclaim the Emperor clad! In the most resplendent garments EVAR!!1! So it is said, so it is written, so it is done!"
The only way not to lose this game is not to play - rather, to change the rules and play your own bloody game, preferably with the heads of your enemies hyperbole stricken because the sort of humorless gits I used to consider my associates would love to take that as an example of Liberal Hypocrisy! (and I am, I swear, the only person on The Internets who can spell Hypocrisy on a regular basis, left or right--) rather than as the ironic ObReffing of reality and Laffertesque wordspinnery by a history junkie whose fandom is World Literature which it is, and which Ann Coulter's smirky endless calls for *actual* violence amd death to put the fear of death and violence into all she considers Other to herself and therefore deserving of death and violence (which is at a minimum 66% of the US and most of the human race) are not and never will be ( ... )

1. The money, lives, assets, infrastructure, and futures of at least two nations that you've wasted
2. The morass you've gotten yourselves bogged down in for the foreseeable future
3. Making things worse in the entire region than when an admittedly vicious, genocidal dictator was in charge
4. Your immortal souls and the stewardship for which you will, individually and collectively, have to answer on the Last Day

Besides, if they think this is going to rally their supporters, I do believe they have badly misjudged the mood of the nation. Instead of making the Democrats look bad because they're not being 'patriotic', it'll just make the plain people think "Hmmm - maybe those guys aren't so bad after all; I might vote for them next time round."
Idiots. Vain, greedy, mean, blind, bully-boy idiots.

I hope you're right. They've been riding this "Dems want to destroy America and hate the military!" horse for so long it's as swaybacked as d'Artagnan's, but it's always carried them through so far.

You should have seen the media frenzy about it. They trumpeted hyperbolic pronouncements about plans to attack Parliament and behead the prime minister, which the suspects allegedly posted on a website. That sort of ludicrous 'plan' sounds to me more like typical adolescent male anger fantasies than a carefully crafted scheme. At least 2 of the suspects are minors, after all.
