Today's Quotes:
snip a few good quotes

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace
alarmed -
and hence clamorous to be led to safety - by menacing it with an
endless
series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
- Henry Louis Mencken, 1880 - 1956

Well you're living proof practical politics are effective

When in fact, I've voiced that same sentiment a number of times, and
have
stated that I'm not alarmed about much.

Here's a nice attack that was precipitated by nothing at all.

Going on for years now.
--
Some time ago you were scared shitless at the idea of Iraqi shells
raining down on American cities.

That's patently ridiculous.

I've never been the least bit afraid of -any- terrorist attack.

Nor am I, for the ones inevitably to come.

I've stated that the North Koreans are a joke, best simply ignored,
and,
that there's really no coherent reason that Iran shouldn't have the Bomb.

Yeah it's a bit difficult for the Western world to tell the rest of
the world that it is okay for the West to have nuclear weapons but not
them. People start muttering about double standards and hypocrisy.

And don't forget- we're the only one that's ever (gleefully) nuked
anybody. :-)

It's, you, sir, that is the product of your prejudices and
superstitions.
WTF are you talking about?

Uh-huh.

We all know how credible that threat
was.
I remembered that particular post of yours as it was rather hilarious.

Then I'm sure you can whip it right up.

Remember writing?
"And I assure you that when one of those shels careens into Times
Square or downtown L.A. on New Year's Eve"

I know -exactly- what I wrote, and to who, and why, and when.

Let's see you prove your accusation.

I can't be bothered to go through your previous posts to see if you
believed the lies of the Bush administration saying that Iraq and SH
were behind the 9/11 attack. Somehow, at this point in time, I
suspect you'll say that you never believed them.

It's easier for a European piece of *** like you, with a career AA
posting sentiment, to believe that all Americans did.

I know some did, some still do and some don't. (see, not a blanket
all) I was just wondering what your position was.

I can read.

The question was answered before it was asked, and, no one brings it up
but the Bushaters.

I never have, have stated so here, and never needed that point to
justify
the invasion.

What real justification was there for the invasion then?

You misunderstand- WMD was a -credible- reason for invasion-

Beyond all the Bushate hype and "Bush Lied!" cries, everyone forgets that
Saddam lied and implied as well, and had a documented track record that
everyone seems to slide past.

But there were many other reasons to invade, and we're better off for
having done it that to wait and see what Saddam would have eventually gotten
around to-

He made many a brag, and we did him.

You're a lying piece of ***.

Cite? Nothing like an ad hominem attack when you can't come up with a
factual rebuttal eh?

Are you talking to me, or yourself?

You made the attack, I rebutted with fact, and we're still waiting for a
single cite for you to prove what you issued as ad-hom.

Same as always.

Nothing new there.

Check :-)

Well since you seem to be following this particular thread would you
care to answer my question concerning Bush's joke about searching for
Iraqi WMDs under the White House furniture. Was it respectful towards
the coalition forces serving in Iraq?
Will you answer the question or run away from it pretending that you
have never seen it?

I saw it before, and ignored it before.

Just like now.

After you get a cite or two, maybe I'll give you an answer.



--
Mate, you are not in a position to demand I jump through hoops before
you answer a simple question.

Mate, you're the one making the demand.

And in no different a position.

It's just a flimsy and transparent
pretext not to answer a question that embarrasses you;

The answer is simple and straight forward.

Why would it embarrass me?

IOW you're a
coward.
Fact duly noted, 'nuff said.

Your "version" of logic extension and critical thinking ability noted- nuff said.

A skilled, armed man lives on a plane of security and contentment
different from that of others. The man who cannot cut it, envies,
fears and sometimes hates the man who can. -Cooper
