3) My reply need not do anything YOU demand - who the hell are you to tell me what I can and/or cannot post.
4) What the hell does that have to do with anything? Never mind I really don't care what you think. You mind is like a steel trap that was left out in the rain.
5) No one said it did - except you. "Mission Accomplished" was discussed ad nauseum long ago and the only one who continues to misinterpret it is YOU.

Let me introduce you to our friend:

Ya know Merc, I left because I didn't like what a "discussion" with tw (Total Whackjob) turned into and I swore I wouldn't get into it with him again - oh well once an _______always an _______.

[Urbane Guerrilla]

Me, I just like telling tw he has no political acumen, is delusional, is a whackjob, is a mental masturbator, is a very inferior sort of being. While he doesn't have to be an inferior sort of being, he clearly prefers that to becoming enlightened: he'd rather be Left than right.

For his manifold sins and anti-American wickedness, I torment him. And there is absolutely nothing he can do about it except turn procapitalist and pro-American. In short, to escape his current torment, he has to more resemble me.

Feel free to dump on the commie until he converts or flees the Cellar. He has not fled yet, so I reckon him for a communist masochist. He posts, subconsciously, to show himself that the world is none too friendly to such as he. What he doesn't understand is that it's his own fault.

That kind of childish taunting doesn't reflect well on your position.

[DanaC]

wow. *grabs a bag of popcorn* fucking fascinating.

[theotherguy]

Slide over. I brought drinks.

[TheMercenary]

I found tw's pic on the FBI website:

[Urbane Guerrilla]

It's even more fascinating when it's fucking.

That's on account of the change of position...

P.S.: For the record, the miffed-at-GEICO looking Ted Kacsinski is definitely on the Celebrity Won't-Bang List.

I disagree, xoB. I think it reflects his position *perfectly*.

Furthermore, he knows it, too:

If your thinking's actually good enough, you need not bolster it with abusive language. Nor need you indulge in hysterics.

Care to guess the identity of our mystery guest, author of this sage advice?

A clue.

[Urbane Guerrilla]

And his posts still declare him a communist, his actions a masochist. Aaand I can make him blow up any time I want to.

I've seen this kind of behavior from leftists before. It illustrates a certain kind of emotional immaturity which I have also seen from leftists, which seems to me necessary to be one. The conservatives of my acquaintance act and think in a more adult fashion. Speaking of adult, there is nothing juvenile whatever in my listing tw's mental properties, nor is there taunting. The man avoids understanding that he's a fool. Unfortunately for him, everyone else knows that.

It is on occasion difficult to find words for the depth of my contempt when he delivers himself of something particularly wrongheaded and violently anti-American, and the intensity of my struggle to express it may sometimes be seen in the length of the adjectival sentences I apostrophize him with.

Some days my Internet To-Do List looks rather like this:

See what's new on The Armour Archive

Ditto the Living History Library

Savage tw at least once

Look at Philosophy forum and see if Happy Monkey is still doing well there

Google up "black cardamom" to find out what to do with a bag of the stuff -- the most original suggestion is stew a couple pods with a mug of scratchbuilt hot chocolate

Savage tw on some other point -- the only business that man has talking politics is to turn people off to Communism anyway

Give piercehawkeye a ration, too, for not being a partisan for democracy

Pause to make sure I'm not smirching my soul doing this

Wrap the session up with Mudcat or Strike The Root

[xoxoxoBruce]

You're a little light on the pausing.

[Urbane Guerrilla]

Sez you. :p

[xoxoxoBruce]

Sez your smirched soul.

[Urbane Guerrilla]

Ooo-kay, Bruce.

Here I am resisting the evil of communism, which not even tw denies he's trying to promulgate and I believe everyone else understands that's what he's doing, and campaigning against the America-must-lose mentality that is the curse and the plague of the American left, which mentality tw embodies. Hard to figure anybody decent would do that when America's cause is democracy's, and democracy's cause, I am persuaded, is all humanity's. For this among other reasons I reckon a communist to be an enemy of mankind, and that it is in mankind's interest to destroy all communists if they won't convert to capitalism. I once thought tw was merely a perverse leftist, but noting his habit of repeating Soviet or Red Chinese propaganda points along with his bitterness towards Republicans, who are more efficient at resisting Communist subversion than Democrats and better at thwarting Communist ambitions worldwide -- well, that he's a communist explains more of his properties better than that he's crazy. Not that he exhibits rational thinking when he gets wound up anyway -- he'll make deluded utterances and show idees-fixe by the handful. Since I desire the Communist stay discredited, I leave him his idees-fixe and let his own preposterousness defeat him.

And there's piercehawkeye's well-known sympathy not for Israel the democracy in that contest, but for the Palestinian authoritarian kakistocracy. This position is not readily distinguishable from antisemitism, and it's certainly a display of an undue degree of fascist sympathy, assuming Ba'athist influence anywhere in the Palestinian Authority. On the face of it, this seems likely, especially in any group closely connected with Syria.

So here you have two Cellarites of a couple of differing degrees of commitment to brutality, oppression, poverty, and general social wrongheadedness -- and you, Mr. Bruce, find it in your soul to object to my excoriating them for their sins? I'd like to see you justify your opinion. Grousing at me for striking out against evil just isn't going to make it.

Captain George W Queeg is at the helm and you're running around accusing everyone of having a duplicate key to the god damn strawberries... while the ship of state is heading straight into a typhoon.

You and the Captain are red, white and blue patriots, damn the torpedoes and all that, but neither of you know jack shit about diplomacy, post San Juan Hill and the Great White Fleet. The world has changed and you can't just charge around the world barking orders. The world's too big and you're too small for a "fer us or agin us" attitude because you'll just make everyone "agin us".

You have to accept the fact that not everyone that is different, in system and values, is the enemy... unless you make them so, which is a pretty stupid thing to do.
You fucked with a second, almost third, world nation of 25million and got your nose bloodied. Fuck with the world and you'll get your ass kicked.
