613. Thanks for your very "long" rebuttal, but it's really pointless and incorrect

Not only have I not "moved the goal post", you don't even understand what I and the article you're responding to is even proposing, you're just battling a strawman in your head, so I'm not going to waste my time responding piece by piece to your post. For example, you say "Which is why they allowed the rich to literally buy their way out of the draft. " which of course is not what Hartmann was talking about, he was talking of Jefferson's universal militia proposal, which was partially in response to what you are saying. You go on to describe colonial military drafts which are irrelevant and kind of self-defeating, because Jefferson's proposal was in reaction to that. So I don't feel I need to bother further when you can't even get your facts straight.

"Which means the neocons have plenty of troops to carry out their plans - their plans did not stop at Iraq. "

See what I mean? You'd expect neocons to be promoting it in Congress, and not the only ones promoting it to be Democrats, and you'd only see right-wing neoconservative sources ever promoting it, and not liberal sources like Salon, Slate, Truth-Out, etc. So your posts are just laden with hyperbole, exaggerations and emotional responses.

So if you actually want to respond to what I say and propose in the future, you're free to do so. And don't be so rude.
