Comments on: Yes, but did he have an Islamic sounding name? http://iowaliberal.com/?p=340 Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing. - Oscar Wilde Wed, 08 Sep 2010 07:50:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: mike http://iowaliberal.com/?p=340&cpage=1#comment-11424 mike Fri, 25 May 2007 02:37:07 +0000 http://iowaliberal.com/?p=340#comment-11424 If wingers would shed their naive belief in American exceptionalism it'd be a lot easier to take them seriously when they act indignant over issues like state sponsored terrorism because they absolutely refuse to acknowledge their own country's involvement in these types of activities _so_ <em>why</em> take them seriously? That's why I have a small degree of respect for Darth Cheney. He comes right out of the box saying that our ME concerns are associated with energy politics. I attribute this to his being a business man and if you read the business oriented news wires like WSJ and Bloomberg they, like Cheney, make no bones about their concerns. They're very matter-of-fact when it comes to energy issues. The same cannot be said for heavily indoctrinated conservative bloggers who use terms like "free markets" and "democracy" as quick short-hand for their own internalized fantasies. The true-believers are always the most dangerous. The Israeli Mossad and Shabak favor recruits from the kibbutzim because they learned early on from the SAS that the most devout make the best killers. Look at this guy. He drove from fucking Detroit to burn down an imaginary abortion clinic!
