Good idea, thanks.
Yeah, you like all the authoritarian stuff. Figures....
As if your crowd knows the first thing about balancing liberty with responsibility and national defense. Jacques Chirac is your idol, your foreign policy guru, instructor in how to kiss Islamic tush.
I would ask Mr. Raimondo just why he is so opposed to the existence of a Jewish state in the Middle East but he won't answer me. I'd ask him why "good conservatives" who opposed the PLO's comrades in southern Africa and Latin America support the PLO, but all I will receive is smirking silence. I'd ask him why a homosexual libertarian opposed to the prosecution of "victimless crimes" feels he belongs on the Right just because he hates Israel, but he doesn't understand the question, since to him it is self-evident that hatred of Jews and Israel is the very essence of rightwingery. So since his spite and cruelty make a dialogue impossible I won't even bother to "ping" him.
However, what I'd really like to ask Dennis is from where he derives his worldview to begin with. If we are all just accidents of random chance, then why have any value system of any kind? Alas, the world is so accustomed to the "tyranny of the immediate" that such a question--and the implication that only ultimate things ultimately matter--is not welcome. Who cares if there's any meaning to it all? What does that have to do with our day-to-day life? I suppose this Hellenistic mindset is just part of his mania.
I suppose he would consider me a "religious fanatic" anyway (funny, I thought it was the LEFT that was opposed to "religious fanatics"), much as he employs that term on his website for people he fears might destroy this ultimately meangingless, random, coincidental world out of some misplaced belief that somewhere something might actually matter.
How can you argue with someone who is so cock-sure that the primary mission of the right wing is to oppose Zionism that he feels comfortable flaunting his homosexuality while calling Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson "neocons" simply because their Biblical Fundamentalism leads them to support Israel?
I hope he dies in the collateral damage of the next domestic terrorist attack (G-d forbid) by his "anti-Communist" PLO buddies.
Where are you? (My cat says thanks)
But . . . but . . . but Rabbi Marvin Antelman says the Sufis are Secretly Behind Communism!!!!!!
Click "post reply"
Type screen name of pingee in "to" field.
Type "ping" in message field
Hint: Spell "ping" correctly. If one should type an extra "g", one would then "pingg" the subject rather than "ping" the subject.
If you are serious about that question, this webpage may provide some insight. If not, I know there are other posters here that will appreciate it.
The writer seems to take much pleasure in calling him "Dennis", his given name, in the manner the left always remined us that Michael Savage is really Michael "Weiner." This article, while informative, reeks of "Oh yeah? Take this!"
and Karl Marx was a Whirling Dervish.
