November 10, 2017

Back on November 10, Dan made some unsupported claims about a “Muslim Ban”.   At that time I asked him a series of questions designed to ascertain his understanding of  current immigration law. At that time he chose to abandon that thread ( some might draw other conclusions), and to avoid answering the questions asked. I think we now know why.

Dan, as usual you are welcome to comment on this. As soon as you answer the questions asked back in November. I know how important it is to you that questions be answered and that first things are first, so I’m sure you’ll be happy to take care of this minor detail before moving on.

Thank you in advance.

I posted a lengthy comment at Dan’s, which disappeared again. I did get a screen shot and will probably try it again there, and post it here.

Alright. Yes, it’s about not choosing one option out of multiple options. It’s about you trying to use a snapshot of history as an analog to our current situation. It’s about your hunches, informed by hindsight, trying to second guess one of the members of the Democratic Party elite. Ultimately it’s about dealing with the symptoms, not the disease.

If you want to make the argument that the world would have been a better place had the allies not opposed Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo please make that case. Make it wherever you want to, just make it.

You’re right I agree that doing nothing isn’t an option. I also agree that no one is suggesting that nothing be done. You ARE suggesting that “we” (unspecified and undefined) must “accept refugees” (again s vague and subjective term that isn’t specific about who or how many) or that “we” (same objections) offer them “refuge” (same lack of specifics and definitions). Clearly you are suggesting more than to avoid doing “nothing”, you are suggesting doing something. You just aren’t being specific about what you ARE suggesting.

So, there you go.

Here's your chance, Craig. Denounce, loudly, clearly, strongly Trump's latest racist "shithole" comment. Tell him and his supporters that this can not stand.

Draw a line against vulgar racism and stand on the right side of that line.

OR, Craig, just copy and paste my response to Dan after he left the same idiotic, knee-jerk and lying demand at my blog.

Here's what a racist president (and presidential hopeful?) looks like.

Craig said...

Dan, here’s your chance. Answer clearly and directly the questions you’ve ignored for two months, then you can start making demands. Until you do so, I see no reason to indulge your vanity.

I do find it slightly amusing that someone so ensnared with using vulgarity himself is so offended when others do.

I have to note the unavoidable fact the Trump’s comment was not directed at people, it was directed at the physical/governmental conditions that prevail in many countries. While, inevitably I suppose, We are now seeing the tolerant, inclusive, loving progressives Apply the term to a human being.

But Craig...it's harder to demonize Trump if you're going to get all tecnical and truthful about his comments. But I've made the same obvious observation and pointed out that very distinction to Dan, who now deceitfully pretends not to have noticed.

Apparently you are either having problems with some grade school level reading comprehension or you’re just choosing to ignore what you find convenient.

Unfortunately for you, I can read, and I am choosing consistency.
