While much of the discourse on this blog has heated up of late, it is increasingly important to read every post with a skeptical eye. We must be able to see through a post that might seem logical to uncover the hidden agenda that may be lurking within.

The readership can easily identify a post that is steeped in liberal or conservative dogma but often messages of hate are better hidden. It is therefore important that readers be able to identify messages of hate and read these postings accordingly.

Over the past few days I have been deeply troubled by the anti gay, Jewish, Arab, Muslim, American, European sentiment that has been expressed. While many of these posts are easily identifiable, it is important that we be able to see when hateful speech has been cloaked in logic and reason.

Any assertion that any group of people are somehow inferior, war-hungry, evil, conniving, or otherwise not entitled to the respect, rights and privileges that we afford all people should be properly identified as a message based on hate rather than logic.

Accordingly, I would ask that we all seek to protect the dignity of one another because we never know when hate will turn against us and when we will need the support of those around us.

America will be brought into a ever expanding war in the middle east. How, American rescue helicopters shot down while trying to rescue citizen who are in lebanon. The weapons used will be from Iran and the US will bomb inside lebanon and on the borders. We (US) will be in the fight sooner than the world thinks.

What it the difference between Lebenase militia's using weapons supplied by Iran and Israeli military using weapons supplied by the US? Does that imply both counteies are actively looking for war with eachother....

The US is at war today against Iran. Israel is representing the US state and Hezbollah is representing the Iranian state. But yes, we are at war today.

So....there were only a few hours of difference between the grand opening of the Baku-Tablisi-Ceyhan pipeline and Israel's strike into Lebanon. Check a map and see the closeness between these two areas. Is a great convergence coming up? Will Israel be the new protection service for this pipeline?

There are reports that the Fed is "finished raising interest rates". Will this create the "soft landing" that Lansner in OC, California is referring to?

I’ve heard so many people say that our foreign policy is all about oil?? The OPEC nations are Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela. Certainly not our biggest fans…

So what drives our Middle East policy?

The Washington Post explores the issue…

Speaking of hatred...

Most of the liberals who hate Bush/Cheney hated them just as much before Iraq. Their hatred has nothing to do with Iraq. For them, the sky was falling the moment Gore filed his first lawsuit for a partial recount. Even on September 12th, Micheal Moore suggests in a public letter that the attacks on 9/11 were somehow revenge against something Bush did in his first 7 months in office. It has since been redacted from his website but can be found on wikipedia. Here it is:

"If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him! Boston, New York, DC, and the planes' destination of California - these were places that voted AGAINST Bush!" -- Michael Moore, September 12 2001.[47]

If this isn't mental illness, I don't know what is. If someone would like to explain this, please do.

So you see, the same hatred was there before Bush did ANYTHING. I'm not speaking about the "swing vote", I'm speaking specifically about the core left. The same people have since found a plausible reason (Iraq) for their hatred and have managed to fool the general public into thinking it's because of the war, but really we should all know better.

InfidelSix said...

Hey, at least you admit it.

Don't you think it's irrational to harbor hatred based on something that hasn't happened?

When I was in Bosnia and Clinton was bombing Serbian civilians, KBR, a subdivision of Haliburton, was getting the lions share of DOD contracts in support of SFOR/KFOR. Not a peep from the left. But all of a sudden you switch names on the roster, and the lefties go berserk. Funny that. I believe you bias, like religion, is a blinding massive denial to see things as they really are. It's basically a mental disorder.

It's fine to take sides on an issue, but if you only have bias and don't have logic and reason, then you're a tool.

[Liberalism] is basically a mental disorder.

And conservatism is a form of dyslexia 1 step foward to steps back.

InfidelSix said...

Conservatism vs Liberalism is a seperate issue. You're confusing that with my point.

I very clearly used a description
"blinding, massive denial to see things as they really are". As in unquestioning and religion-like". You are the one who widened it into, and finally equated that with "Liberalism". Is that an admission? That's your business.

In either case my point still stands. Brainwashed massive denial indicates mental disorder. Good talking point.

You assume Bush was hated before he did anything because you don't know anything he did. You don't have a single fact in your blank, empty head--a characteristic you share with the all the knuckledraggers who get their news from a guy who jets off to the Dominican Republic to pork prepubescent girls.

Before the election, a survey asked Bush supporters a long series of factual questions: Did we ratify Kyoto? Does Bush support the ICC? Did we publicly announce finding WMDs in Iraq?

Not surprisingly, those fed on a diet of corporate bullshit got the answers wrong. They didn't even know what Chimpy McFlightsuits positions were. They actually thought he supported Kyoto!

You people argue from your own ignorance, which admittedly gives you a lot to argue from.

Al Jazeera? LOL

You should add "Death to Israel, Death to America" in your sig for that.

Mr. Sold,

Either you didn't read what I wrote or you didn't understand it. I guess I shouldn't expect too much. The election in question was the first one in 2000, not the 2004 election. In typical fringe-left fashion you've totally side-stepped the issue and avoided the question regarding Michael Moore's insinuation that Al Queda attacked us on 9/11 because GWB (an unknown) was elected. Unbelievable!! If you really think this, you are completely stupid given the U.S. entry dates of the hijackers. Isn't it obvious that these terrorists were here BEFORE the 200 election? What I'm illustrating is a mindstate of BLINDING bias and supidity. If you're attacking me for pointing it out (the messenger), then maybe that's because you're feeling threatened?

Your venomous response says more about you (and your inability to repond to the points in a mature way) than it does about me.

Cheers

Peaky rants: "You people argue from your own ignorance, which admittedly gives you a lot to argue from."

Yes, there are some uninformed voters out there. I'm reminded of the lady who said she voted for Al Gore in '00, When asked why, she said that his hands were beautiful and he had long fingers!

So it cuts both ways peaky, and since the NEA, rock the vote, and pro-immigration lobbies are firmly on your side these days, I'm sure we can expect the average voter's IQ to continue trending down.

Unfortunately, the facts don't agree with you. People who voted for John Kerry accurately reported both candidates' positions; Bush voters did not know what either candidate stood for.


since the NEA...are firmly on your side these days

It's still headed by a Republican; and before this one, it was headed by Lynne Cheney. You must have an old set of talking points, parrot.

Yeh sure that's why Utah, one of the most conservative states in the country has double the per capita rate of antidepressant
drug use. Across the country the statistics a staggering. Pick any state in the conservative bible belt and you can expect to find rates approaching that of Utah. And meth ... don't get me started.

LOL! You're as misinformed as they come. The NEA is the teacher's union:

Hey peaky, do us all a big favor and stop voting. And please don't contaminate the gene pool, we don't need any more 'tards like you.

InfidelSix said...

The silence regarding my point is deafening.

Mr. Peaky you are incorrect when you state that I'm assuming. I'm not assuming, I'm asserting. Big defference. So here it is again.

1. Michael Moore asks if the terrorist flew planes into WTC on 9/11 to "get back at Bush".

2. Bush has only been in office 8 months

3. The terrorist/hijackers have been in the U.S. (going to flight school) for years.

4. The Invasion of Iraq was over a year away.

So the math here is fairly simple. MMoore's thought process says we were attacked because Bush was elected, not because of anything he did, not because of years of foreign policy, but again, because he was simply elected. This should give us a whole new perspective into this person's mindset (and all those like him). Why would he think it plausible for them to hate Bush this much for being elected. And here comes another assertion: Because HE hates him that much.

That kind of partisan selfish bias is not only stupid, but destructive to every one of us.

Wow. Hating Bush is detructive? Your one sick puppy. He is the most vile president in US history. There isn't even a distant second. What exactly has he done for you
or your family that would cause you to support him?
