Roundup and Commentary - 6/23/09

The one who loves least controls the relationship. - Think - Dr. Robert Anthony


Commentary:

A response, in three parts:
My 'leaving it to the reader' implies that I trust intelligent people to look at the facts and opinions I present--as well as the facts and opinions of the person I'm having the discussion with--and come to their own conclusions.:
American Nihilist: American Power, and the Art of Avoidance, Obfuscation, Prevarication: The Attack on Conor Friedersdorf
---
"You don't like me. And that's too bad."
I don't like the way you often treat people with whom you disagree, no.:
American Nihilist: American Power, and the Art of Avoidance, Obfuscation, Prevarication: The Attack on Conor Friedersdorf
---
I was replying to the way you and some of your ideological cohorts treat people with whom you disagree, not defending any of Conor's particular arguments.:
American Nihilist: American Power, and the Art of Avoidance, Obfuscation, Prevarication: The Attack on Conor Friedersdorf

When I look at the people suggesting one kind of response over the other, it seems like it's mostly politicians and partisans who want more "fire and brimstone," and mostly diplomats and experts who think Obama's done the right thing up to now.:
American Power: McCain on Iran

In the end, no elected or appointed official forced your parents or his to abort you or Barack for any reason. Hopefully, there will never come a time when some elected or appointed government official forces any woman to carry a child against her will, either.:
American Power: Nixon Would Have Aborted Me!
---
I'm sorry... Are you suggesting that Nixon wasn't a racist, but pregnant black women who choose abortion are?:
American Power: Nixon Would Have Aborted Me!
