His profile says "The Byzantine Empire". inb4 "BuT iT wAs EaStErN rOmAn EmPiRe"He's not so much Byzantine as Roman.
I mean, you are preaching to the choir here. America is a dysfunctional third-world country who is keeping the world under its foot by wielding the scariest military in the world and dominating markets with its global corporations. At this point I just hope things accelerate and we fall apart and become several independent states. I don't have any faith in out country anymore.
Yes, weedling semantics don't give a pass to radical positions.
They could be accused of being infidels.
You have to think of the consequences. How would you apportion that ‘scariest military in the world’ into several militaries which are still larger than many other developed countries' put together?
Who'd demand any responsibility from them? How would they not go around conquering each other based on those irreconcilable differences, how would some of them not become outright politicoeconomic vassals of Russia or China?

I was hoping it was just a mistake. I'll have to remember not to trust the quotes you choose for your posts.

Hypocrisy is officially measured in Berzerker units. It's like the Richter scale for cognitive dissonance.

just had lunch with Roger a Jamaican London born Aussie immigrant we have a lot in common... starting with our shared sense of the riduluse and our mutual love of good banter about how the rest of the world are crazy...
I lent him money at Christmas so he could go back to the old dart for a week to see his Mum... I only lend money to friends...

Taxes to racism, thats quite a segue... Where did I misquote you or Zelig?
You're accusing me of inconsistency? You're a Democrat, you condemn wars while voting for the people responsible for them.
Moderator Action: If we must accuse everyone of hypocrisy, limit it strictly to what is posted in this thread, otherwise you'll also be guilty of trolling and/or flaming.

You ever notice that the group of people who believe that taxes are theft tends to overlap with the people who believe that wage theft isn't theft?
They refer to themselves as antiwar "not Republicans" or "Libertarians" or "more liberal than you"... depending on what flavour of cognitive dissonance soda they drank that particular morning.Do show me where the anti-war Republicans are
Do show me where the anti-war Republicans are
There are a few, such as Walter Jones, Justin Amash], and [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Massie]Thomas Massie. The latter two are libertarians, while Jones is actually fairly moderate overall. The American Conservative is a decent anti-war conservative site which was originally founded by Pat Buchanan, IIRC.[/url]
OK, let's rewind and skip the modtext.
The way you wrote it it seemed as though you had somebody in mind.

What about Republicans? 'They do it too' is your defense of the Democrats?
