wrote: That's a weak justification for genocide. Strong justification. We are dealing with lunatics who don't care whether they live or die. They want to by Martyrs. Let us grant their dearest wish. They get 72 Virgins and we get rid of them. You love to shift the goalposts, don't you. My comment was about your earlier call for genocide which includes everyone. Your comment is now about suicidal lunatics. Unless you can show us that every muslim is a suicidal lunatic, you have failed to make a rational case for the effectiveness of genocide. In fact, I claim to make the case that genocide is counterproductive because all it does is weed out the weakest leaving the strongest to survive. If the Romans had persecuted the Jews like the Nazis did, they would have rebuilt the Temple centuries ago. -- "A politician's neck should always have a noose around it.

wrote: Texas did not sign the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. It did sign an agreement to end hostilities when the Union Army showed up on its doorstep later. Even then Texans continued to prosecute the War for 1 1/2 years after the surrender at Appomattox. You guys still lost. Yes, and we know it too. That's why many Texans despise the federal govt and await the day when we will fix this injustice. -- "A politician's neck should always have a noose around it.

wrote: Then you understand why I advocate tyrannicide. I want to put the fear of God in politicians. Here's a thought - stap them to chairs and throw them in the river, and those that float are tyrants and those that sink are Pure and Clean. That'll put the fear of God into them, 'cause God will be the one who decides. That's won't work because demagogues are by definition completely full of **** so they will float like the turds they are. Tyrannicide can be implemented according to Common Law. In fact that is exactly how it was practiced in England. If a state grand jury indicts a politician and he is convicted of violating the public trust in any way by a unanimous jury made up of 12 citizens chosen at random from the several states, he hangs on the Capitol steps. That's a lot more civilized than drawing and quartering him. Now let's see Schumer, Metzenbaum. Waxman, Feinstein, Boxer and the other gun-grabbing commies try to take our guns away in Texas. We'll hang anyone who tries because they violate the 2nd Am. -- "A politician's neck should always have a noose around it. It keeps him upright." -Robert Heinlein |

wrote: First: Would if we could. Glad you acknowledge that much. Even post-war, no one's found Bin Laden. People who think Navy Seals and Green Berets can do anything they set their mind to, no matter how utterly impossible, are simply victims of too much TV and movies, and far too little real-life. What about psychics? Don't police departments use them? Sheer fantasy. What's that famous statistic about how many Americans believe in angels? 90%? Straw man. First I do not agree that we do not know where Bin Laden is. If he is using cell phone technology, we can pinpoint his location. But most importantly, intelligence works on the basis of informants who are handsomely rewarded for their risks. What's a million bucks to the person who tells us where to find Bin Laden. A little cosmetic surgery and off to Argentina he goes a millionaire. Second, the Hitlers of the world are as much results as they are causes. Hitler was indirectly elected, and Hamas was just *directly* elected. And even total dick-tators like Saddam and that insect in North Korea do enjoy serious levels of popular support, though probably far short of majorities. You don't just shoot Hitler in the head and thereby stop Naziism. That too is fantasy. You have to kill more than just the leader. I do not see that as a major problem. Translating what you've said above from Texas-eez, the "leftist queer meme" is a reference to a type of philosophy, one which is famously incorrect and damaging, but not nearly so violent and sick as the Jihad meme. The "leftist queer meme" is "collectivist perversion". Just as you see the Jihad Meme running rampant in Muslim countries, you see the Leftist Queer Meme running rampant in Britain and other Commonwealth countries, and most of Europe (but not all) - and you see it in parts of the US. Do you know that the Connecticut SC prohibits a home dweller from using deadly force to protect himself, his loved ones, his property? If you live in Conn. and you are home with the family and a bunch of cretins kick in your front door and you grab the trusty 12 ga and blow them all to hell, you will go to prison. If that isn't completely perverted I do not know what is. And it is exactly like that in the countries named above. The Leftist Queer Meme manifests itself by making Good appear as evil and Evil appear as good. .. -- "A politician's neck should always have a noose around it.

wrote: A proper war (translation: merciless, crushing initially) and you could makeover the entire savage mideast in about three years. The Arab Muslims are Shia and the Iranian are Suni. I believe most of the Muslim world outside the ME is Suni. Therefore if I am correct, then the war you are proposing would be directed at the Shia Muslims, which would be favored by the Suni Muslims. -- "A politician's neck should always have a noose around it.
