Relative to both the DNC and the GOP, if they were on Earth I would be on the moon.
The Democrats, led by shithead Adam Schiff, manufactured one lie after

Being such an absolutist means, of course, that you're unable to

I already told you that my current opinions are influenced by the Ron Paul wing of the GOP. That faction can't be any more different than the Adam Schiff wing of the DNC. When they attack Trump, they always do it for completely different reasons. And the Ron Paul wing's reasons for attacking Trump are almost never invoked by the mainstream media because the mainstream media can't stomach to make arguments that are not rooted in left-wing thought.John wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 10:25 pmThe Democrats, led by shithead Adam Schiff, manufactured one lie after
another about Donald Trump. As each one was proven to be a lie, they
were never embarrassed, but just went on to the next one. That's what
was really sickening. So there are hundreds of these floating around
out there, and I know that you can resuscitate them faster than I have
the time or motivation to bat them down, so I'm probably just going to
give up with you.
There's far more to the Khashoggi killing than just that. Have you had a chance to look at the Lee Stranahan podcast I linked to earlier? If not, I highly suggest you do. Here's the link again:John wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 10:25 pmThe only thing special about the Khashoggi killing is that the details
were particularly gruesome, that the details were leaked, that
Khashoggi's fiancee was outside the embassy while it was going on, and
that Erdogan and the Washington Post were able to exploit the murder
for their poltical ends.
Let me clarify. I'm an absolutist when it comes to law and order in America. I would love to see universal law and order everywhere else too, but achieving that is an impossible task that our government shouldn't waste time to undertake. However, universal law and order in one country, our own, is far from an impossible task; but of course our government is too corrupt to undertake that one.John wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 10:25 pmBut you have a very particular view of such things. You say this:
Being such an absolutist means, of course, that you're unable to
distinguish between a parking violation and a murder. It's also
politically convenient for you, because you can festoon your
"absolutist" view with whatever ideological or emotional enhancement
that you like. So you might say that that the parking violation is a
horrific crime because it blocks your car, but the murder is perfectly
ok, because you dislike the guy who was murdered. That's the
advantage of taking an absolutist view. You can adapt to anything you
want. It's the kind of trickery that the Democrats use.
Let's make a comparison. For me, Bashar al-Assad's genocide and
ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Arab Sunnis is infinitely
worse than the murder of just one individual, Khashoggi.
But not for you. Your "absolutist" view of the law means that Bashar
al-Assad's genocide and ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of
Arab Sunnis is legally equivalent to the murder of just one
individual, Khashoggi. In fact, I believe that in the past you've
defended al-Assad. He's just a poor, misunderstood opthamologist,
trying to make the world a better place. In fact, to you he's a
victim, because people like me accuse him of awful things, like being
the worst genocidal monster so far this century.
You would forget that he slaughters innocent civilians with Sarin gas,
chlorine gas, phosphorus and other chemical weapons. You would forget
that he pours missiles into children's dormitories, residential
neighborhoods, and marketplaces, in order to kill as many women and
children and possible. You would forget that he particularly targets
hospitals and medical facilities. You would forget that he tortured,
mutilated and killed some 50,000 prisoners in his private prison in
Damascus. Each one of these 50,000 mutilations and murders is
individually worse than the Khashoggi murder.
So you single out Saudi's King Salman as the criminal of the century
because of the Khashoggi murder, while you find Bashar al-Assad just
to be a poor victim of his time. That's taking your "absolutist" view
of the law and festooning it with your emotions. I take the opposite
view. I consider Salman to be an ordinary dictator, while Bashar
al-Assad is the genocidal monster of the century.
You may be tired of responding to Adam Schiff arguments, but I'm not making Adam Schiff arguments.
You're absolutely right. I had forgotten about the other facilities,
Careful, John...the century ain't over yetI take the opposite
view. I consider Salman to be an ordinary dictator, while Bashar
al-Assad is the genocidal monster of the century.
