What's the title going to be? "I Duh'd it My Way"?

[Urbane Guerrilla]

So, "Republican" automatically equals "villain" for you, it seems. Not a reasonable line of thought in my opinion.

You insist, crazily and fascist-sympathizingly, on discounting doing good in the world by advancing democracy and crippling tyranny, by justifying your opinions as based on law. You're ignoring, of course, the fact that laws can be very bad things and helpful mainly to evil ends. You can't acknowledge the evils of tyrant-protecting legislation, or else your entire mental construct comes down with a resounding crash.

You'd be so much better a man if it did, though. And you'd be a truly liberating kind of Jew, too. Freeing from oppression -- that's a mitzvah, is it not? Hasn't the Pentateuch something to say about it? Is not liberty a birthright? Are there not people, born having that birthright, living chained because they had the misfortune to be born where tyranny's writ runs?

My favorite is still your ludicrous notion that Jews in America who support reasonable gun control are somehow condemning themselves to another genocide.

You can hardly do anything except support the next genocide that way, as your coreligionists at the JPFO can tell you -- and convincingly. They showed me that "reasonable" and "gun control" are not words that belong together. The end effects are always so very unreasonable, regardless of when they arrive.

No. If you're going to profess the progun, you really should be progun.

The people who die in genocides are the ones who don't think they see one coming. Genocides are always ambushes. They begin in concealment and are sustained by telling lies.

Better, I think, to cultivate prophylaxes against these crimes of state. You accomplish a genocide against populations without the means to resist. No other way is very practicable. You tend to deplete your pool of Einsatzkommandos if you try exterminating an armed population. Then what?

Never reject an idea just because I accept it as truthful or accurate. You'll usually fall right on your face, frequently into a mudpuddle. This is not a good outcome. A man of your intelligence ought not to insist on being this silly.

The caliber of people who most bitterly oppose the neocons frankly does not impress me: it's a parade of the usual totalitarian-coddling suspects, blame-America-firsters, grubby Communists and their room-temp-IQ fellow travelers, Janeane Garofalo (whom that wise old snapping-turtle Charles Krauthammer summed up the other day with, "She's beneath contempt."), ad nauseam. It's always the slavemongers against the active liberators. You know where I stand, and I think you should stand there too. That's not a call for cloning my opinions -- for I think I believe in liberty for you more than you really do.
