(162 posts)there'd be a pile of periods. Now, if you were arguing against a Republican and were making a logical case, what would you think of that person responding by only attacking you personally? Would be a sign that they have dick to say about actual issues, right?
"I cannot ever seem to get through to the puritans."
Ever tried a logical argument and facts to back it up? Puritans love that stuff, objective reality.
"Hillary blowing smoke about Kissinger carries about as much weight as a fart in a whirlwind."
She wasn't blowing smoke, she's said glowing things about him for years, worked closely with him, and has a close personal relationship with him. Would you say this to a room of people whose loved ones died as a result of what he did? Would you say this about someone from another country if they did to us what he did to the countries he attacked? It means nothing to people that, like yourself, take pride in willingly ignoring objective reality and not caring about the real world impact his decisions have had on people. I personally don't see the lives of human beings as pieces on a chessboard, but I'm not a "serious" realpolitik intellectual. I need to take a shower after talking to you. Good night.
