Yeah, but they deserve it.

Was the Mussolini thing religious?

Mussolini was his own religion!

That was Britain at its best. Draw the borders in a way to guarantee half a century of conflict. Better they fight amongst themselves than fight us.

Stalin was an atheist. Hitler was not (although it has been claimed by some), although he was not a religious man. The NSADP recognized the need for spiritual faith, where as the Soviet Communist party was the opposite. After the war, the SED, the East German Communist Party, did not discourage religious faith either. Walter Ulbricht and his family sporadically even attended church. Mussolini was Catholic, but not devout. To strengthen the power of his Fascists, many of whom were deeply religious, he worked around the Catholic Church (although he limited its power) and the Pope was off-limits in many ways.

If you think Libya in 2011 represented a "clear and present danger" to the USA....

Hey. So glad your back. Yeah. You explained the difference. I actually didn't need an explanation of the difference of extraordinarily simple concepts, but thanks all the same.

No, what I was asking, and will now ask again, is why did you say over and over and over and over that it is illegal to have any military action unless there is a clear and present danger, but then change your mind and say it's legal so long as Congress votes on it. I was just curious which of the two "tests" is the one you believe in.

No? Nothing?

It’s clear to me that you have no respect for the office of the President of the United States who you have accused of war crimes. Not only that, you’re a self described expert on Hitler, Stalin and Marx, who you call brilliant. You were born in the U.S. but of your own volition chose to move to a country that is far more Socialist and just happens to be the home of one of the subjects of your study, Adolph Hitler. In fact, until recent history much of the country was part of the Soviet Block – Communists.

I’m not saying you hate America and are working abroad for her downfall, I’m just saying there are legitimate questions and I’m asking them in a polite way. It doesn’t really bother me that you might hate America and you might want to overthrow the government, it’s just that you lie about it. That’s all. Just the lying. If you would just admit that you’re part of an Al Qaeda Sleeper Cell in Germany I would have no problem with you. Not that you are- I’m not saying that. Just the lying that bothers me. I just wish you would admit it.

Damn. That was actually pretty good. Too bad it will be totally lost on you. You know what they say, if you have to explain... but all the same. See, what I just did there was exactly what you did to Obama. I took facts about you, but "asked questions" that make it look like you might be some kind of Socialist, Communist, Al Qaeda terrorist. But I didn't say you were. Then I added your little gem about the lying. It totally kills the effect, but you know, just because it was such a stellar part of your condemnation of the President of the United States, I had to include it in my diatribe. You know, just to show how much you would benefit from a good laxative and high fiber diet.

You are so far off base, that I am even questioning your sanity. Yes, quite right, what you have written is a "diatribe". Where do you get off claiming that I am an "... Al Qaeda terrorist"? What is your problem?
