    Israel Prevails in Conflict With Hamas - and Still Loses

    I'm sure there's a case to be made that it's similar to "white man's guilt" with respect to the enslavement of Negroes ... IOW: "Gentile guilt" The Jews were victims of the Holocaust ... and we failed to act in a timely manner to prevent it ... Beyond that the Israel Lobby (AIPAC, etc.) and...

    Israel Prevails in Conflict With Hamas - and Still Loses

    I consider the following article, from 2003, to be rather informative on the modern state of Israeli ... and the mindset which apparently infects a fairly substantial portion of it's populace. The comments near the end from Israeli military historian Professor Martin van Creveld, of Hebrew...

    Our military is screwed

    Actually, I could say exactly the same thing in regards to your own previous reply. Your previous reply essentially appears to seek to totally absolve anyone in the military ... while completely condemning those in the political realm ... 40 or 50 years ago you might have gotten away with it...

    O'Reilly article

    Simple fact of the matter is Greg Palast is the author of the original article - he got The Nation to publish it ... Focks Nooz or National Review certainly wasn't likely to do it ... ;) Nothing wrong with noting The Nation's politics and factoring that into one's evaluation of the article ...

    O'Reilly article

    Indeed ... at what point - if any - do you plan on "progressing" to actually telling the truth with respect to your error on the David Gordon I referred to originally ? Or are you just going to continue to misrepresent (lie essentially) who/what that particular David Gordon is ? Mebbe just...

    O'Reilly article

    Mind works faster than the fingers can keep up with ... there - fixed it for ya ... Is that really the best ya got ? Maybe you'll show us a written work of David Gordon's (the correct David Gordon that is) that shows his "liberal tendencies" ... Anyone who wants to understand how "liberal"...

    Heheheh ... you got it wrong ... and can't even man up enough to own it ... Either that, or you simply have no real understanding as to what "classical liberalism" actually is ...

    O'Reilly article

    Trust me ... in this instance it goes waaay beyond simply "uninformed" ... It really shouldn't ... but unfortunately, for some, that's the very best they are capable of ...

    O'Reilly article

    Dave, I'll be kind here - and not totally rub your nose in it - or attempt to publicly humiliate you by saying something about a total lack of ability to observe the obvious - but just simply say: you are incorrect. This David Gordon (who was an economist and quite "liberal, in the leftist...

    Our military is screwed

    Actually, you and I are the ones that are screwed - because the military, if past history is any indication, will just end up throwing money - yours and mine - at the problem ...

    Israel Prevails in Conflict With Hamas - and Still Loses

    ;) - it is a subject which has much political correctness associated with it - most of it being pushed by the Zionists and Bible-thumping Israel Firsters ... One risks being accused of (or being thought of as) being anti-Semtic ... even if one only speaks to the actions of a nation-state ...

    O'Reilly article

    Ahhh ... it's hyperbolic rhetoric used to illustrate/amplify a point ... But I'll be sure to include a disclaimer next time ... so I don't cause your fur to stand up ... Your response is typical - an immediate knee-jerk defense ... There's a case that can made that while capitalism provides...

    Republicans Start To Cave

    Are you trying to wrestle the logical fallacy title and championship belt from the Turkey Choker or something ? The above is a straw man argument - that isn't my position at all. The fact is you can't say that money made the difference ... unless you ignore the fact that Romney and the...

    O'Reilly article

    Yupper ... :( Unfortunately, it's probably just the tip of the iceberg ... not in terms of the specific actors involved, but generally of the type of things that go on behind the scenes and are not widely reported on, in an in-depth manner, at the government/private enterprise nexus ... JJ...

    Republicans Start To Cave

    ... he says as he prepares to pull another yet fallacy out of his bag of tricks ... This would seem to be another one of those "correlation equals causation" fallacies ... since it assumes that the money spent using the video in TV ads was absolutely necessary to achieve the electoral result -...
