DISCLAIMER: in my experience, the following doesn't apply to 99% of my readership. Unfortunately, experience also shows it has to be written down for the remaining 1%.
The short version, when it comes to my comments policy, goes down to a line taken from the (mediocre) second opus of the Matrix:
"I built this place. Down here, I make the rules."
Let's elaborate a bit:
AVERTISSEMENT : selon mon expérience, ce qui suit ne s'applique pas à 99% de mes lecteurs. Malheureusement, l'expérience prouve aussi qu'il faut que cela soit écrit pour le pourcentage restant.
La version courte, concernant ma politique pour les commentaires, se résume à une ligne tirée du second (médiocre) volet de Matrix:
"J'ai construit cet endroit. Ici, je fais les lois."
Élaborons un brin :
If you need further help with the site, you may want to check the Field Manual. Ultimately, you can also drop me a line. I usually don't answer jellyfish and buttermonkey(1) hybrids however.
Si vous avez besoin de plus d'aide avec le site, jetez un œil au manuel d'instruction. Au pire, vous pouvez également m'envoyer un mot. J'ai cependant tendance à ne pas répondre aux fruits de l'union d'une méduse et d'un cul de singe.

From the Mises Institute quote:
"Masterly" book? Greenwald? That tells me all I need to know about the Mises Institute. That Greenwald the sockpuppet now (supposedly) has two NYT bestsellers just goes to prove once again that "bestseller" doesn’t always equate to "worth reading." He’s the consummate moral relativist, of course, which is no doubt why the Mises Institute likes him so much. |

"Greenwald’s argument is a simple one." And a mind to match! Greenwald is to sockpuppets what Jim Henson is to the Muppets! He may not have invented the genre, but he certainly made the medium his own! |

One big problem with this numbskull’s (Greenwald’s) premise is when he states that these nations are "internally repressive". This whole discussion reminded me of something a friend was telling me at church Sunday. It was about how Thomas Jefferson fought Islam - namely pirates raiding ships in the Mediterranean -when he was president. http://www.usvetdsp.com/jan07/jeff_quran.htm Was it internal repression that we were watching on 9/11? Since when did American - or British, Spanish, etc. - soil become an internal part of one of these repressive nations? Maybe it was when we suffered a government official being sworn in on Jefferson’s copy of the Quran instead of the Bible, or when our former imposter-in-chief refused a chance to have Bin Laden handed to him. I’ve grown weary of leaders, and their advisors, who worry so much about making the Muslims mad that they weaken our nation.

I really didn’t mean to get on my high-horse earlier; I’m just sick of worrying about whose toes we’re stepping on. No offense intended DF (’cause I love France and wild boar and pheasants - with garlic and a nice vin de region) but we’re the USA for crying out loud. I’m not saying we should be bullies around the world but I do believe in peace through strength, even if it means demonstrating it from time to time because it’s the right thing to do. It’s good to be free and a conservative. Is that redundant? I do believe it is.

Un moment, s’il-vous plait… I logged in, "Proved Myself" and now I’m NOT logged in? Eh, bien… anyways, I agree with Greewald van Rothbart: Iran will cooperate WHEN its goals closely match America’s, which means, oh, 2-3% of the time.
The rest of the time available to America and Iran, America is pursuing goals which enhance, secure or develop FREEDOM, and Iran is pursuing goals which minimize, isolate or inhibit personal responsible FREEDOM! And Iran does so when it is not killing, hanging or harassing Baha’is; in the spare time when it is not HANGING RAPE VICTIMS; or beating and imprisoning women for wearing colorful clothes or thinking for themselves or… Ahk! You get the picture! (Would that Gleen Grenwald got the picture!) |
