Yes, sir, to write and post an article that says that a declaration of war is needed in the future, ignoring one of two that is currently in effect, DOES make you a liar.

It is the intellectual equivalent of publishing a history of World War II that ends with the Germans dominating all of Europe except England -- which is under constant bombardment -- and with the U-boats sinking Altantic shipping faster than it can be built. That would give the clear impression that German is about to win the war.

You agree that suuch a presentation, though factually accurate at one time, would be a lie for what it left out? I trust your answer would be yes.

Now, apply the same analysis to your "first" article, which does not bother even to tell the reader,"Part I of II."

I rest my case. You deserve the criticism I gave.]

Or maybe it's just the intellectual equivalent of making an argument for a position without answering every counter-argument. You are too quick to assume bad faith. I won't repeat that mistake next week. You can either address my arguments then or continue to call me names, whichever you prefer.

Best,
