Louise,
Surely I was providing you a podium by asking what you thought. Do you mind sharing your thoughts with us?
Ron

You are on my IGNORE list, which is why I'm not answering your questions. You're not even honest, hence your denial that you referred to Percy as a Brown Shirt.

Why would I want to engage in conversation with you when you apparently believe in the moral idiocy of torture as a legitimate means of intelligence gathering? "Enhanced interrogation techniques," a phrase coined by the Nazis.

I have no respect for your opinions or ideas. How's that? Enough of an answer?

Louis,
"I have no respect for your opinions or ideas. How's that? Enough of an answer?"
I understand perfectly. You are not only the judge, jury and executioner you also get to invent your own evidence out of the whole cloth. That is a ancient and time honored collectivist liberal tactic.
You call me a liar? I've never denied what I said. You pointed out my error and I immediately corrected it. What is dishonest in that -- only that you refuse to acknowledge my correction and continue telling a fiction. That is very dishonest. On the other hand I expected no better.

"I have no respect for your opinions or ideas. How's that? Enough of an answer?"
Again you are fundamentally dishonest. I never asked you to respect my "opinions or ideas." You invented that one out of the whole cloth. I asked you to answer my questions. That is a different matter entirely as everyone knows.

But you couldn't resist this litle deception. " you apparently believe in the moral idiocy of torture as a legitimate means of intelligence gathering? "Enhanced interrogation techniques," a phrase coined by the Nazis."
The question was never what I believed in. The question was are you willing to accept America's right to retaliate in kind to behavior against our citizens by a violent and barbaric enemy. If you don't want to retaliate then how do you propose to stop the barbarians from cutting off the heads of our civilians on world wide TV?
