I suggest all members of the LDC and all who ideologically align themselves with us, and hell, even you non-interventionists (pro-appeasers) should read the link above.
It is a document outlining the farces, inconsistencies and errors made by pro-appeasers.
Now, before you comment below with remarks such as “neocon propaganda” “warmongering bullshit” “racist and bigoted analysis” ask yourselves – Am I absolutely right no matter what in this particular argument? Are those who disagree with me on this ALWAYS wrong concerning the subject? If you answer “no” to both, then you’re on your way to thinking for yourself. If you answered “yes” to both then you’re just another tool for some politically motivated asshole from some website like “Antiwar.com” who is marching you around the Internet and protests filled with name calling, propaganda, and lies for whatever they happen to think is a good idea. You are not thinking for yourself, and you practically just like the neocons you hate. No difference at all between neoconservatives, pro-appeasement ideologies, and “purist” libertarians.
“What makes a free thinker is not his beliefs, but the way in which he holds them. If he holds them because his elders told him they were true when he was young, or if he holds them because if he did not he would be unhappy, his thought is not free; but if he holds them because, after careful thought, he finds a balance in their favor, then his thought is free, however odd his conclusions may seem.”
—Bertrand Russell, “The Value of Free Thought”
“Dogma demands authority, rather than intelligent thought, as the source of opinion; it requires persecution of heretics and hostility to unbelievers; it asks of its disciples that they should inhibit natural kindness in favor of systematic hatred.”
—Bertrand Russell, quoted from Laird Wilcox, ed., “The Degeneration of Belief”
Remember, we are the libertarians who want to oppose and fight against totalitarians abroad who would create fascistic theocratic governments and bring terror here in the U.S., you guys are the “libertarians” who want to sit back and appease fascistic theocrats the likes of Adolf Hitler that would take over world governments and send terrorist cells in into our hometowns and cities in hopes of creating a gloabal totalitarian state ruled with an iron fist by a “Caliphate” or king – I guess in someway or some universe you think that is “libertarianism”.
Your welcome Darin.
I sure as hell will keep the faith.
