The current quote of the day on cafeaulait:

In today’s America neoconservatives generate brutish policies for which liberals provide the ethical fig leaf

Originally from here. btw if you are an independent, non-voter or apolitical; you suck too and it is all your fault.

Ah yes, the implied responsibility to support by MohammedNiyalSayeed (2.00 / 0) #1 Mon Apr 28, 2008 at 02:25:57 PM EST

any given author's political views... Delicious. For the record, I hereby declare anyone who is either opposed, on the fence, or otherwise not 100% fully in support of Operation Cryptofascist Downsizing to be the Enemy. We will split our enemies down the middle, and the streets will flow with their blood. We will split those who give assistance to our enemies down the middle, and those who cannot muster the required full support for our policies will be beheaded, publicly.

and it can be anyone's fault; other than the policy makers.

Ultimately, the problem is always by MohammedNiyalSayeed (2.00 / 0) #5 Mon Apr 28, 2008 at 03:32:53 PM EST

people. For centuries we've tried putting bandages on the symptoms, rather than curing the disease.

it was a policy decision by cam (2.00 / 0) #7 Mon Apr 28, 2008 at 04:13:53 PM EST

the policy makers are the ones culpable. You can argue broad ideology all you want, policy makers in government embarked on this.

You can abstract it all you want by MohammedNiyalSayeed (1.00 / 1) #8 Mon Apr 28, 2008 at 05:41:19 PM EST

but policy makers are humans, and a subset of the problem. Replace the given policy makers with different humans, and you'd have the same problem. Wonder why that is.

meh by cam (2.00 / 0) #9 Mon Apr 28, 2008 at 05:57:05 PM EST

that is meaningless.

The original sentence I quoted was trying to induce flamebait by suggesting that all ideologies were culpable because somewhere, in some subset of some edge condition of that ideology is one that supports the complete opposite. May as well blame the family dog, at least it is usually in kicking distance. The policy makers made the decision, it is their burden, they are the ones culpable.

You're looking at extremely isolated circumstances by MohammedNiyalSayeed (2.00 / 0) #10 Mon Apr 28, 2008 at 06:31:14 PM EST

If you want to spend your time looking at the details around the wound, you may never entirely see the whole problem. Then again, the vast majority of people on this planet live their whole lives staring at details, missing the overall futility. I can fix that, but I'll need enriched uranium.

Oh, really? by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 1) #12 Mon Apr 28, 2008 at 07:54:02 PM EST

To me, whining about particular policy decisions sounds like the wanking of someone who can't accept a complete lack of power and input in the course of their world's governments.

I take it that the culling will begin by Rogerborg (2.00 / 0) #3 Mon Apr 28, 2008 at 03:29:21 PM EST

Just as soon as you've finished with those Psystar banditos.

of thinking I operate under instructions from Donut Wheel. Hell, Donut Wheel even makes this mistake.

Perhaps he doesn't read the correct blogs.
