1 Bill rules.

2 Yeah, they are pretty bad. I listen to them on weekends in my car b/c there is nothing else on. Last week they were whining about some antinuke activist who had been in prison for 27 years because she tresspassed. Not quite. I couldn't find any info on her except the same b.s. until I found this animal activist site that hated her. The nut was orignially sentenced to 7 years b/c of her record and because she damaged property. She was paroled but kept violating and committing new crimes, most specifically, threatening gov. officials. She would send federal judges bullets. wink wink

I missed you morons.

Very well... Left... you can have your own 'Truth', just not your own FACTS... and a 'Truth' which is not based on Facts, is only believed in via Faith...

Making your 'Truths', ie your ideaology, your Religion...

8 Here's a particularly good (IMHO) Andrew Klavan - Are You A Racist, A Frank Conversation.

10 @OhioCoastie #5- It's always nice to demonstrate their "reasoning" falling under its own weight, isn't it?

11 Ugh, Amy Goodman... that woman's voice could etch glass.

12 @MrMosis  Yyyyyyep.  Usually makes their two functioning neurons collide painfully with each other.

13 Well, y'know, the "scientific method" involves grouping together with like-minded people to put forth a "consensus" -- then fudging results to support this view and shouting down questions and criticisms.

Oh, the old hypothesis/experimentation/falsifiability thing? That's your "scientific method". You have yours, we have ours.

14 I love Bill, but... isn't part of the reason nobody died climbing the Berlin Wall or sailing to Cuba because those oppressive regimes welcome(d) all suckers "idealists" with open arms?

15

@14

I think that says a lot about the power of confidence in a objective truth if you are willing to let others see for themselves just how wrong they are. No fences, guns, or dogs required.

21 Yes, indeed. He always nails it. And as per Beck...the truth has no agenda, and per me...a progressive truth does.

If we taught history to our children they would know that the commies have always lied and called it truth.

The truth is what serves the party.

O/T..  I dont think she ruined her chances with the guy because she hooked up with with his twin brother so much as she is kind of a whore and sounds like she would hook up with most anyone. 

30 And Bill Whittle is awesome.. 

31

Ho Lee

That wa powerful and delightful.

32 I got to see Whittle speak at a rally last year. It was just as awesome as you'd expect it to be. "Chowderheads." Heh. I LOL'ed.

33 If you've never seen Whittle's rebuttal to John Stewart when he called Truman a war criminal for dropping the big ones in Japan to end WWII, you're really missing out. It's fact-filled and brilliantly presented. It would change all but the farleft ideologue minds about the morality of the decision.

To a point the point he made about being met with derision when presenting facts to a liberal. Completely leaving theology out of the discussion...try saying out loud that evolution is not supported by science. That one's a doozy.

Heh!. You're just taunting Ace now, aren't you?

I'm a polisci student.  My teachers are uniformly left of the Democratic party, by their own admission.  I find that as long as we're talking about art, life, work and culture, there are some places where we can find a little common ground.  And in those areas, they allow me to speak.

But when we talk about the facts, and especially when we talk about the fundamental rules of economics, I get shut down quickly.  Even the one true genius leftist professor I have just sort of gets loud when he realizes I'm winning the argument.

Graduating in December, God willing.  can't wait.  Law school, here I come.

36 Beefy meatball,  thanks for the Whittle link.  I had seen that one when it came out,  but had forgotten about it.

As usual,  Whittle nailed it. 

Oh,  and hahahahahaha!

I just went and read that. Great stuff. Thanks for mentioning it.

38 Yup, and double yup.

My father escaped one of those 'Workers Paradise'™ type countries.

His goal: get to America and become an American.

The rest is history...and yeah, I ain't going nowhere.

Progressives beware...and, oh yeah...FUBO.

Anywho, happy 'pretend you're a union thug and screw off' day.

39 I'm a fan of Bill Whittle's but this is one of his weaker entries.  In fact it contains a number of logical fallacies.

First, he says that no American were loading themselves onto makeshift boats and sailing to Cuba, and no East Germans were jumping the Berlin wall.

While perhaps strictly true, both of those statements are false premises.  Americans didn't have to resort to such desperate measures to get to a communist country.  They could fly their on commercial airliners.  And many Americans did, as perhaps a couple thousand have emigrated to Cuba.  (Even Grandpa Munster, Al Lewis, spent much of his final years on the island).  Likewise, plenty of West Germans, and a few Americans (Like rock singer Dean Reed, the so-called "Red Elvis") found life in East German congenial.

The second problem was that Bill resorted to argument that was based on guilt by association.  KPFK runs shows that promote numerology, astrology, and outrageous conspiracy theories?

Really, I thought George Noori and Coast to Coast AM were on KFI, the Rush Limbaugh affiliate in LA.

I'm sorry.  This is one of Bill's lazier efforts. There's lots to ammunition to fire at the Pacifica ultra-moonbats, but this ain't it.

40 Oops.  "their" should be "there"... obviously.

41 They could fly their on commercial airliners.  And many Americans did, as perhaps a couple thousand have emigrated to Cuba.

You're missing the point. yes, some did..and still do..fly to Cuba..fly...not risk their lives on a raft in open waters...where they're feted and provided opportunities not afforded the regular citizenry.

Many CPUSA members also defected to Russia in the mid-part of last century where they were sponsored and subsidized by the Reds. That was only temporary though.

Many were executed later on for fear of them telling the truth about the situation when they got there.

42

I think you're missing the point DelD - what he says about the overall vector of immigration and the desperation of those who resort to such means remains absolutely true.  

Having said that, I think every discussion about immigration, legal or otherwise, should start with the admission that the nations that are the source of large migrations of people out should be first and foremost identified as "the problem."

 

43 You're missing the point. yes, some did..and still do..fly to Cuba..fly...not risk their lives on a raft in open waters...

That's my exact point.  The comparison Bill Whittle makes is inapt.  It's a lazy rhetorical trick.

Now, if Bill had brought out some numbers, say 75,000 Cubans moved to America versus the 3,000 commie Americans who moved to Cuba (I just made those numbers up), then he'd have a valid basis for comparison.

I did something like this a few years back, when I shut up some Canadian jackoff, by showing that the average Canadian was nine times more likely to move to America than the average American was to move to Canada.

Whittle doesn't do that.  He just shows some picture of desperate Cubans on boats, and riffs on that.

Yes, althouhg he is absolutely right, Cubans are dying to get into America,  the quality of his evidence is weak.  Hence, he's lazy.

44

I think you're missing the point DelD - what he says about the overall vector of immigration and the desperation of those who resort to such means remains absolutely true.  

And yet, while I'm sure he's true, his evidence is largely anecdotal.  He can't be bothered to spend 20 minutes googling up the numbers.

Of course, no one addresses the second point. That Whittle tries to use the evidence of Pacifica Radio's crackpot shows as proof of Pacifica's crackpottedness, while forgetting that Art Bell made himself rich on the back of conservative talk radio.

As I keep saying, this was a lazy effort from Bill Whittle.

45

Good points Charles at September 05, 2011 09:08 AM,

I thought some of his points were weak also. Bill is a great champion of free market capitalism and I really enjoy listening to him.

46

Go to eject eject eject for great whittle essays.  Or buy his buy on AMazon dot com.  I am not him. Just a fan. 

This guy should be on TV every day.

 

47

Buy his book I meant.  Silent America

48 The only people I have ever heard fleeing to Cuba were those facing imminent arrest for criminal charges or who were mentally ill and were quietly repatriated back to the US. In 2000, it was estimated to be around 100 people.

49 @6
I got my intertubes back this past Saturday evening. Good to be back with the morons again.

50 Americans didn't have to resort to such desperate measures to get to a communist country.

Umm. This is exactly the point. The west didn't have to erect walls and shoot people to keep their best and brightest from escaping to the glorious worker's paradise of communism. You're free to go any time you want.

51 Does anyone remember LYNN SAMUELS?

52 Interesting series of Whittle videos at the bottom of the page here at Mike Munzing's Conservative Happy Hour (whatever that is).

Great job, but don't expect the haters to even watch it.   If they do, they'll just tell you why on this one, he's wrong.    It's easier just to be on the bandwagon, because they're too cowardly to stand up against their friends.

But, it is funny to watch them wail against the BS crap thrown against their own preferred candidates, and it is only just beginning.
