Man, I'd bet I could win some sort of award for advancing medical science if I put together all of ChrisW's political posts and donated them to The American College of Psychiatry. Or maybe it's the psychologists who would be more interested in this case of mental disorder.

You guys really don't see the forces building-up? Wow. It's not like this is sensitive information, it's all over the internet. Turkey and Greece quarreling in the Mediterranean, Egypt which has no oil fields is ruled by a military junta desperate to keep charge and right next to Libya, whose sole stability for decades was Qaddaffi's willingness to shoot anybody he didn't like, just like Assad and his father before him. [And Saddam, come to think about it] Iran shutting down the Straits.

Getting American soldiers out of the line of fire in Iraq and Afghanistan may be a damned good idea (and not the weaselly-retreat it appears to be) as the whole region explodes. If we're lucky, Syria can be used as a shield for Israel as most of the combatants from Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Saudi, etc. will have to physically enter the area anyway.

When Obama crumbled on the Bush tax cuts (whichever time) he gave that angry press conference saying that yes, he had deferred them for two years, but it was a fight he'd be glad to have again in two years. ["Temporary peace" is a Muslim/Arab concept by the way.] That would have put him around the election, and I think it was an oblique reference to other events. Most likely he was talking about military progress since there clearly wasn't a chance of economic recovery, but he was (is?) expecting to look like a brilliant leader and sweep away all opposition.

Oh yeah,

You are right, it is a fact that you say I emulate Beck's style. If there are any similarities between our styles, I'd have to take your word for it since I don't pay attention to Beck. I suspect there aren't any similarities because you consistently have no idea what you're talking about, so why should this be any different?

You have some fixation on Beck, just like with Larsen/Doran/Image/Bluewater, and rather than dare accept I might not actually pay the slightest attention to any of the people you insist I mimick, you must fit me into your small-minded definitions. The Procrustes approach to political debate.

2: BDU, ACU. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.


Pretending doesn't it make it so, but pretending it doesn't matter proves you unfit to make sane judgments of any kind. You've finally acknowledged that they have a different name, which represents some small improvement. Good job.

But saying I wear BDUs is a lie (except on those rare occasions where I have). Yet that's what you stuck with for so long.

Quote:
3: Larsen lifts elements of Miller's style. The evidence is in the work.


Which has nothing whatosever to do with him having Miller's pages on his drawing board right then and there, swiping as recently as DKSA and so on, the lines you were actually repeating over and over and over. You provided no conclusive evidence for your assertions, ergo you lie.

Quote:
4: You lie.


Then provide conclusive evidence that (a) my gym opens at 0600 and (b) I hand out towels and (c) whatever the fuck you meant to say about Korean ladies is true. That's what you said, and it's a lie.

Weemie. I want you to do something for me. I want you to go read any work of fiction that features an insane conspiracy theorist. I mean a really cliché insane conspiracy theorist; sitting in an empty basement studio apartment, writing furious missives under a single bare swinging light bulb.

Then I want you to print out your posts. And hold them up, side by side against these insanely cliché characters.

Just read them. Read them together. See what happens. It'll be a neat little thought experiment.

A basement studio apartment that is empty except for a single bare light bulb? That's pretty specific. Why don't you just post pictures of your own place so I'll have a better idea what you're talking about.

The US and our allies are looking for a way to go around the UN and intervene. There's certainly as much reason for intervention as in earlier events unless you want to argue that Libyans are inherently superior and more entitled to not be slaughtered by their government, but some of us were saying that years ago.

But you stick with the Neville Chamberlain approach. It's what you're best at.

The NASDAQ disagrees.

I said it once. You kept quoting it over and over, without ever understanding the meaning of the words.

I should be a simple matter to tell us your unit, your rank and your duty position.

I dunno. But one side agreeing to peace until they're strong enough to start fighting again is an old tradition in that part of the world. And Obama did indeed say he was going to refight the Bush tax cuts (which he was right then capitulating on) in two years. Stating facts is not casting aspersions. Stop pretending otherwise, you embarrass yourself.

Then tell the millions of unemployed to shut the fuck up and start mimicking your unquestioning faith in NASDAQ or suffer the penalties.

Quote:
You lie.


Allen intends to assassinate President Obama. There's exactly as much proof that I pay any attention to Beck as there is that Allen wants to kill the President. By Allen's own example, baseless accusations are sufficient. No evidence needed, he is doing everything he can to murder Barack Obama and needs to be stopped ASAP.

Quote:

It's a lie, they all are. You refuse to admit this even after being caught repeatedly. [And this isn't even counting the lies other posters catch you in] It's a good simple way to remind everybody of that.

Quote:

You're changing the subject. You claimed my gym opened at 0600. You wouldn't have made that claim if you weren't fully cognizant of what you were talking about (unlike all the other times you've been caught doing just that) so prove it.

Come on, this is your chance. Same with the Beck thing. Pull the rug out from under me in front of everybody and show that you really do know what you're talking about. I double-dog dare you.

Sure, I did. And it was all factually incorrect.

So you're saying the President is a closeted Muslim.

No, casting aspersions is casting aspersions. Which is what you've done.

I don't have an "unquestioning faith in the NASDAQ." However, the NASDAQ currently being at its highest point in 11 years puts to the lie your unsubstantiated claim that there has been no economic recovery.

At what, you continue to fail at delineating.

Not really. If you want us to hold any respect for your empty claims of national service, you can inform us of your station. If anyone did truly care, there is a thing called the Post Locator Service, you know.

So it should be a simple matter for you to verify that my gym opens at 0600 and Korean women are somehow involved. Let's see your evidence, unless you're too busy trying to kill the President.

This plan to assassinate your Commander-in-Chief originated with you. As I'm sure the authorities would be interested to know.
