Ad hominem attacks might make you feel better, and they might deter some people from political discourse temporarily, but they are no match for reasoned argument.  Indeed, they usually serve to highlight it&#039;s absence. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This was the same propaganda used to justify Vietnam, and numerous other misguided policies designed to avoid the appearance of compromise with communism.  At least then Soviet Russia had some military power.  Radical Islam is just as evil (if not more so) as communism, but has no military strength.  This is an enemy that can be fought without $1 trillion of annual defense spending.  Not every evil is an existential threat that must be blown up with weapons. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with most of what you say; My personal opinion is that you paint Libertarians to be a little farther from libertarians than is the case in realty (although, I personally consider myself a small-L libertarian, so perhaps I&#039;m at least partially in agreement with you there, too). 
 
One thing that I DO believe in, though, is that I do think people should be able to do anything they want as long as they don&#039;t hurt somebody or infringe on anyone else&#039;s rights to live their life as they see fit. 
 
If somebody else isn&#039;t hurting you (the general &quot;you&quot;), any decree that that other person change their lifestyle to suit any given citizen&#039;s desires is essentially forcing them to do so at gunpoint (via threat of government force).  To me, I may think somebody else&#039;s actions disgusting, repugnant, stupid, or anything.  But what I think is much worse, is if I were to demand that certain somebody change their lifestyle, by force, because I don&#039;t like it. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ LOL at your vote for my statist to keep the other statist out. The fact is both of the parties are not serious about debt reduction and Mittens wasn&#039;t all that different then Obama. I will never vote for another big government RINO again, especially one that believes there are &quot;Good parts to ObamaCare&quot;. Ron Paul may misguided and wrong about his foreign policy, but at least he has a solution to America&#039;s fiscal problems that aren&#039;t lock and step with the rest of the big Government Keynesian&#039;s that were running. Mittens wouldn&#039;t have saved anything, we would still be in a debt spiral with continued devaluation of the dollar while lacking the overall fortitude to reform mandatory spending.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#039;s now arrogant and condescending to point out that the fundamental purpose of your reply to me didn&#039;t matter because you didn&#039;t read and understand my comment? 
 
That must make debate pretty difficult. 
 
Maybe it&#039;s possible that the reason people seem arrogant and condescending when you&#039;re disagreeing with them is, because while you&#039;re busy mashing your keyboard and calling names, they&#039;re busy attempting to make conversational points that don&#039;t rely on name-calling and completely incorrect assumptions about the motives behind others&#039; views... 
 
I&#039;m not going to make any assumptions as to the motives behind your point of view, because I never got the chance to actually understand it with some type of dialogue.  But, I can guarantee that with your instant leap into irrational anger, you&#039;ll never understand mine (which, by the way - and I&#039;ve mentioned this in another area - is the point of view from someone who is a strong Constitutionalist, has taken the Oath of Office multiple times throughout 11+ years in military service, and is also disgusted by the vast majority of actual progressive leftists in this country). ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned my reasoning a bit below in my reply to Omar. 
 
I think Obama is much worse than Romney.  In no way would I ever vote for him and the damage he&#039;d continue to do to the country. 
 
I also won&#039;t vote for someone who already states and demonstrates policy that&#039;s inconsistent with the Constitutional oath of office - and I definitely wouldn&#039;t do it knowing that that essentially ensures he&#039;s the only GOP candidate for the next 8 years. 
 
While I do care that Romney&#039;s not as bad as Obama, I&#039;m also not going to partake in yet another 4-year round of voting in the less-sh***y guy.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;And of course keeping the Soviet from taking over Afghanistan was important. At that time the Mujahideen were of no notable consequence. At that time we didn&#039;t even know of bin Laden, but that is neither here nor there, &quot; 
 
I think it&#039;s cute to take the facts about the Carter initiated and Reagan continued program in Afghanistan and then draw a line through the Clinton years as if Reagan created the enemy that attacked on September 11, 2001. 
 
Let&#039;s check the records of all criminals, and anyone who historically did anything aligned with their interests will now be considered guilty, IF the accused conspirator is conservative or even worse, a registered Republican Party member. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The U.S. doesn&#039;t eagerly step into other countries&#039; sovereignty. Russia and China do that. During the Soviet years, Moscow intervened in the Baltic states (and forcefully annexed them) and all of Eastern Europe. The USSR controlled all of Eastern Europe (except for Greece), Cuba, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Grenada, Syria, Libya, Egypt under Naser, the &quot;Palestine&quot; Liberation Organization, Peru, Suriname, Angola, Iraq, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and other places. China forcefully annexed Tibet (which was a sovereign country) in 1950. Iraq tried to forcefully annex Kuwait in 1990. Since 1959, the Castro regime in Cuba has tried to destroy the United States at least twice. Along with the Chavez autocracy in Venezuela, the Castro dictatorship in Cuba has been openly funding and supporting Communist and other far-left secessionists in Puerto Rico (which is a U.S. territory), despite the fact that a majority of Puerto Ricans do not want secession. In fact, a majority of islanders want either statehood (becoming America&#039;s 51st state, which I support along with more than half of the island&#039;s population) or remaining a territory (Commonwealth).&quot; 
 
It&#039;s impossible for me to imagine Truman acting as he did if this Communist aggression hadn&#039;t cause him to, not to mention the broad support he got from everyone but those we later found out to be under direct Communist influence or outright control. 
 
I&#039;m not judging the character of anyone from that time. But I also think it&#039;s absurd to fail to learn from the facts of history that are well-known today in 2012. Many people were duped then. Not many woke up. Many people continue to be duped by the inertia and remains of Communist propaganda, and by the Islamic imperialists who were well-schooled by the Soviets in propaganda and modern terror tactics against the West. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, Omar.  You haven&#039;t read a single thing I&#039;ve written in response to you to make it clear how absurd and far off your assumptions about me are. 
 
In part, I don&#039;t support a candidate who is complicit in violating the 4th Amendment with continued support of the Patriot Act, and who would support undermining Due Process by agreeing with the NDAA.  Because of that alone (not even going into any other issues), I couldn&#039;t support Romney.  I certainly couldn&#039;t support him being the only GOP candidate for the next 8 years.  And for those reasons and a massive host of others, I can&#039;t vote for Obama. 
 
What&#039;s mind-boggling to me isn&#039;t that you disagree with me; it&#039;s that in other comments, I can give you at least a small background into my life to demonstrate that I&#039;m not coming from any position that validates your ridiculous assumptions (i.e. &quot;far-left Workers World Party), but you STILL continue to spew them.  Your blatant and willful ignorance, along with your consistent M.O. of having all your points essentially be unfounded leaps in logic coupled with hyperbolic character name-calling, undermines any legitimate point you could ever hope of making. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don Carlitos, Israel has wanted to make peace for a long time. You happen to support radical Islamism and communism. Why don&#039;t you talk about China&#039;s brutal occupation of Tibet. Why don&#039;t you talk about Russia&#039;s support for the Assad dictatorship in Syria? You don&#039;t criticize them because you are an America-hating, democracy-hating, totalitarian loving Stalinist/Maoist who supports Islamist Sharia Law. Quit repeating leftist/Islamist propaganda and learn from facts. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I personally like what I know of Bibi, but even among his own, there are those who don&#039;t care for him. That doesn&#039;t make them, or Obama, anti-Israel. Relationships are always a two-way street and there are plenty of Israel supporters who believe Bibi has undercut/misled the president in several instances. 
  
As for letting them do what they want to defend against Hamas, Obama&#039;s policy is no different than any U.S. president&#039;s in 30 years. Our aid comes with expectations of restraint. That may NOT be right--but like I said, it&#039;s consistent. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You say he &quot;tolerated&quot; these things, but your evidence of this is gut feeling. &quot;Evil&quot; and &quot;corrupt&quot; require some evidence, no? But they merely signify personal distaste rather than logic.   
  
I see no evidence that Obama&#039;s support for Israel is going to change significantly. So what we&#039;re left with, here, is conservatives trying to foist anti-Israeli sentiment on a president whose actions have been anything but anti-Israel. Even if it is true on some level, he wouldn&#039;t be the first leader to have to deal with another leader he didn&#039;t like. (FDR/Churchill/Stalin, anyone? That&#039;s not an analogy, btw--I like Bibi quite a bit--just a demonstration). I&#039;m sorry, your analysis just doesn&#039;t hold water, it&#039;s mere impressionism. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Neil, you are so wring. Israel respects human rights for everyone, regardless of characteristics. Arabs living in Israel have more rights and liberties as Israeli citizens than people living in other countries in the Middle East. For over 60 years, Israel has tried to make peace with its neighbors in the Middle East, but the neighbors don&#039;t want peace. Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and their allies want the destruction of Israel as well as an Islamist dominated world. Also, why do you keep blaming America for what goes on in the world. Why don&#039;t you blame Russia and China for their support for the Assad regime in Syria? Moscow and Beijing are the chief reasons why there has been little to no international action on the Syrian crisis. Why don&#039;t you criticize Communist China&#039;s illegal occupation of Tibet (an occupation which has lasted for 62 years-since 1950)? Why don&#039;t you criticize Russia for supporting China&#039;s illegal occupation of Tibet. Why don&#039;t you criticize China&#039;s support for the genocidal Islamist regime in Sudan (which behaves worse than South Africa&#039;s former apartheid regime)? You don&#039;t criticize Russia or China because you support both regimes. Neil, you are an America-hating, democracy-hating, totalitarian-loving Stalinist/Maoist who loves Sharia law. You want a world where women would be treated like chattel, where homosexuals would be lynched from cranes for being homosexuals, and where Jews and people of other faiths and beliefs (as well as non-religious people) would not be allowed. You want a world ruled by Marxism and Sharia law. Instead of cutting of aid to Israel, the world should cut off all aid to China, but you support the regime in China, since you are a Communist. Bottom line: America, Britain, Israel and the rest of the free world want peace, democracy and freedom, while Russia, China, Iran &quot;Palestine&quot; (invented people) and their allies want imperialism, destruction and totalitarianism. That&#039;s the reality. ]]></description>
