Still waiting for the citation on who the Brotherhood of Islam are, or when the Saudi crowned prince chose to infiltrate the political left here in the US.

That’s not what the numbers say. There was a 10% “defection” rate, but, then again there always is (the Clinton to McCain vote in 2008 was actually higher)

You don’t think you’re being a bit Umgelumpert here?

Exactly. It’s not her fault she died; she didn’t do it on purpose.

Ah. I am undone.

Absolutely succint. Pellucid. I’ve got three small paragraphs up there, and then you come along and make my point for me in only six words.

Can you guarantee that the only ones on them will be the two thirds who support the war?

Riiight...South Korea, Taiwan, Portugal, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Kosovo, Cyprus, Kenya, Malaysia, Algeria for starters. If I think of any more I’ll let you know. 70 years is an oddly specific time frame actually. Why 1952 onwards only?

I mean, they’ve brought it on themsleves to a degree yes, but it’s also not that rare, is it.

They have an understanding based on mutually beneficial arrangements in Syria

What I like to do is to tell the judge that he, the court, the jury, and the system are all out of order and that they are collectively, executing my client’s soul. As a strategy, it hasn’t failed me yet.

The fact that you can’t do (rightly) what I invited you to do proves my point.

Bye then.

I haven’t derailed the conversation by choosing to disagree with you. That’s an extremely bad faith argument to make.

Most of the world fits 3 and 4, there’s a dozen states which haven’t been sanctioned by anybody fitting #2, and hell, #4,5,6 could apply to the US. Saudi Arabia isn’t a pariah state, and it hits every one of those categories bar #1, which only applies to North Korea. Or Israel.

It doesn’t validate it any more than the Black man who raped me because I was a faggot and a nigger has me thinking that those two words are the same. Depending on usage, faggot crosses racial boundaries, white friends of mine can call me a faggot, we draw the line in the community when it comes to color.
