Noam Chomsky starts blog, cites benefits of Pearl Harbor
ZMag Blogs ^

The Invasion of Iraq All opponents of the invasion of Iraq -- at least, all those who bothered to think the matter through -- took for granted that there would be beneficial effects, as is often the case with military interventions: the bombing of Pearl Harbor, for example, which led to the expulsion of Western imperial powers from Asia, saving millions of lives. Does that justify Japanese fascism and its crimes? Of course not: there is far more to consider, and I've never had any question that these other considerations amply justify condemning Japan's aggression as a war crime -- the "supreme crime" of Nuremberg.

Dare I click for the full blog of never ending ramblings from the champion-king of anti-American protesters? His version of history always weaves into the bombing of Cambodia or reluctance of the American public to give a hoot about East Timor. Now Pearl Harbor? Is this a way to crucify America over the A-bomb? I'm not buying, and look here, I've posted a never ending blog myself.

This pissant little pantywaist may have had Hillary all googly-eyed, but I can tell you that he has little more than a steaming pile of manure for what passes for a brain. What utter garbage. To think that one of this sh*tscreen's proteges is a US Senator, former first lady, and potential candidate for President of the United States.

Frankly, I wouldn't piss on 'im if he was on fire.

"The man is insane. His expertise is what?? something to do with word origins??"

He has been reduced to an algorithm:

The Chomskybot

"Conversely, the fundamental error of regarding functional notions as categorial is to be regarded as a general convention regarding the forms of the grammar. We will bring evidence in favor of the following thesis: the notion of level of grammaticalness does not readily tolerate nondistinctness in the sense of distinctive feature theory. This suggests that a case of semigrammaticalness of a different sort is not to be considered in determining a stipulation to place the constructions into these various categories. Summarizing, then, we assume that most of the methodological work in modern linguistics is not quite equivalent to a parasitic gap construction. For one thing, a descriptively adequate grammar cannot be arbitrary in problems of phonemic and morphological analysis."

"It must be emphasized, once again, that relational information is not quite equivalent to a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. By combining adjunctions and certain deformations, the fundamental error of regarding functional notions as categorial is rather different from an important distinction in language use. Presumably, any associated supporting element cannot be arbitrary in a descriptive fact. A consequence of the approach just outlined is that the earlier discussion of deviance is to be regarded as a stipulation to place the constructions into these various categories. In the discussion of resumptive pronouns following (81), the systematic use of complex symbols is necessary to impose an interpretation on nondistinctness in the sense of distinctive feature theory."

Noam Chomsky is bark at the moon mad, yet he is still the patron saint of the far left.
