You can’t seem to hold a thought; you can’t take an argument to its logical conclusion; you can’t help but jump from subject to subject like a kitten chasing a catnip ball. You jump from a discussion on whether Clinton will be indicted before the election to the subject of Occam’s Razor to the collapse of Iraq with no transition, no logical segue or progression, simply one non-sequitur followed by another. The only purpose apparently is to get away from the arguments you have just lost and the only result is to introduce another subject on which you are hopelessly mistaken.<br /><br />On the subject of the loss of Iraq, I have pointed out how wrong you are on numerous occasions. The fact that you bring up your silly position again would indicate that you continue to exhibit the short-term memory problems you have become known for here; that, or you are suffering from the ‘stabbed in the back’ syndrome so evident in the neocons, international interventionists, and other right wing English majors as they try to explain away their past mistakes, a process that only guarantees they will continue attempting to make those same mistakes in the future.<br /><br />I won’t repeat the reasons you are wrong on the causes for the fall of Iraq. I’ve done it numerous times before. You don’t think. You emote. In your defensiveness, you would ignore them anyway and in your infirmity you would likely forget them in a day or so. I will simply leave you with this article from <i>The Atlantic</i> which outlines the case I made though in far more measured terms than I would use for you.<br /><br />http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/01/obama-republicans-iraq-war/425127/<br /><br />Read it or don’t read it. I don’t really care. I fear you are hopeless and I despair of ever bringing you into the light especially given your age and obvious deficiencies.<br /><br />.<br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-27781241905611696202016-01-24T05:00:44.666-05:002016-01-24T05:00:44.666-05:00'of those who have done something'

In Argentina of the 1950's and 1960...BC Alexis<br /><br />In Argentina of the 1950's and 1960's, there were two factions opposed to Juan Peron. One faction opposed Juan Peron for ideological reasons congruent with the Radicals (small government liberals who are called “conservatives” now). The other ”Blue” faction hated Juan Peron personally, and its slogan was Peronismo sin Peron – Peronism without Peron. The United States faces a similar question with Barack Obama. Do Americans oppose Barack Obama's agenda, or do Americans want Obamaism without Obama? This is the question facing the Republican Party now.<br /><br />There are varieties of “conservatism” that are big government, big taxing, and big spending. Their most prominent modern incarnations have been Integralism in France and Latin America, and the pre-Thatcher ideal of the “One Nation Tory” in the United Kingdom. It is a testament to the work of Barry Goldwater, Margaret Thatcher, and Ronald Reagan that we perceive classical liberalism to be conservative at all. What some people call Crony Capitalism, others would call Mercantilism – a good term for it might be Paleoconservatism.<br /><br />Donald Trump's support for Eugenics and particularly Infanticide is morally reprehensible, but it hardly represents a departure from conservatism when one considers that Winston Churchill was once an ardent supporter of Eugenics. The Rockefeller Foundation (and the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation...) was so critical to promoting Eugenics that Planned Parenthood should be considered to be the apotheosis of Rockefeller Republicanism. As Governor of New York, Nelson Rockefeller campaigned very hard to legalize abortion. So, Donald Trump cannot be regarded as anything other than a Rockefeller Republican on the question of<br />state-sanctioned infanticide.<br /><br />Donald Trump is not a leftist of any stripe unless Rockefeller Republicans are leftist. Rather, he is a throwback to what the Eastern Establishment once stood. Even Donald Trump's lowbrow affectations are a reflection of his preppy background. His moral code appears to be Social Darwinism as popularized by the ideal of Superman prior to 1933. 1933 was a turning point in world history because Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster published a subversive comic book called Superman presenting a hero as something other than a well dressed bully.<br /><br />I have made it abundantly clear that I oppose Donald Trump. I regard him to be a vulture who preys upon the weak and then gloats about it, and I doubt that he would feel offended by such a remark if I said it to his face. My moral code unequivocally conflicts with his.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-18924964231771485412016-01-24T03:18:43.471-05:002016-01-24T03:18:43.471-05:00...and please check out that link.

When trying to explain something, it suggests:<br /><br />1. That the simplest explanation is often the right one, and <br /><br />2. That when trying to explain something it should be done by making the fewest assumptions possible.<br /><br />While it's hard to argue with the general principle, admittedly the rule can allow for some subjectively which could lead to different answers. That's why I used the words 'Occam's Razor <b>AND</b> common sense' in my original post.<br /><br />It is passing strange that an English major could fail to see the coordinating conjunction, <b>AND</b> and the stipulation it implies. Harder still to understand that you could fail to register the significance of the words <b>common sense</b>.<br /><br />When searching for an explanation as to why you might miss the reference to 'common sense' in my original post, I can only assume it is because of your unfamiliarity with term combined with your apparent aversion to actually using it as illustrated in the posts you put up here.<br /><br />You will note that my explanations fits nicely with the principle of Occam's Razor.<br /><br />.<br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-16741736636945687482016-01-24T01:31:28.628-05:002016-01-24T01:31:28.628-05:00.
