The folks here at WKRP want you to know that Cincinnati is spelled with one “t”.

“I have no hate for you”

Is that why you started your comments here with “it’s nice to know where the Kool-Aid is being drunk these days”?

You may think you are being clever, but you are just shallow and dishonest–and obviously so.

“Joseph (formerly Samuel) et al.:

Thanks again for the amusing rants.”

That is the funniest thing I’ve read today. Joseph ranting? I don’t think I’ve seen a more thoughtful, mature commenter.

I have a lot of ‘liberal’ friends and I just avoid political conversation with them. They are so set and narrow-minded that they won’t even hear anything that doesn’t fit the scenario they’ve made up.

And if you disagree with them, it’s over. I’ve seen it happen. Friendships are lost. It’s tiring and depressing.

I did hear some of them talking about how it’s okay to hound Bush constantly because of what the republicans supposedly did to Clinton. They don’t even know we’re at war. It just doesn’t fit the scenario.

jblossom:

I see you are recycling the nonsense of American’s economic and political demise. Japan was going to overtake us in 80’s, the EU economic model was the future in the 90’s and now China is the future in the 21st Century. Well, just as the Japanese model was declared the winner they collapsed. Europe never got off the ground and truly is in terminal decline. the future for China is not that rosey. China has environmental problems, a banking system waiting to collapse, growing internal disatisfaction and a demographic time bomb that goes off in 2020. The US has the only stable, healthy economy and consensual government in the world. I wonder who is your next candidate to lead the world. Canada perhaps?

Papa Joe Stalin – oops – Lieberman?

I don’t know JBlossom how about…

Bush=Hitler

Oh, that’s right, that’s not original or clever enough anymore.

Your post is a parody and testament that supports everything Ron Rosenbaum and Hitchens rightfully point out as blindspots held by those on the left. The rest of your post can speak for itself, but I’ll add…

out of place

out of context

out of time

Sochu John–You used the term “foreign policy realist” in one of your posts–please let me know what you mean by that term, because a foreign policy realist goes back to Hans Morgenthau’s seminal 1947 Foreign Policy article. In that article, Morgenthau defined realism as the use of power to pursue a nation’s national interest. Somehow, I think you are using a different definition of “foreign policy realism.”

You are certainly welcome to your definition, but please be aware that the Morgenthau, and a generation of foreign policy analysts and academics, understand the term somewhat differently than you are using it.

Comparing a U.S. Senator to Stalin? That’ll get you admitted into the “clueless liberal posing as a concerned moderate” hall of fame. Or maybe not, since I think they grade on results, not effort.

Also, don’t look now, but your military man Pace (from your link) just threw a lot of cold water on your “ideas”. See Roger’s post a few topics up.
