How did I ever live my 52 years without jonnie to tell me who I am. "Praise the Lord and pass the jug" ;)

vernon

it looks like he is a gossip and mudslinger.i have read his talks with patty but he was very insulting

Patty

Usually when I encounter that kind of unprovoked hatred I take it as a sign that the truth is breaking through and causing serious discomfort to their ingrained prejudices. He could go either way and I don't care which. I have to control my own intolerance for stupidity though and I don't always do well at that. :-(

You are exactly right, they don't and refuse to acknowledge the truth, and don't have a answer for it so they just attacking us trying to do a end around and hope to keep us busy defending ourselves. They can't answer a question with a yes or no. And they are very good at pushing our defense button, so I don't blame anyone for fighting back, in fact maybe we should overwhelm them with lots of readers fighting back maybe they will get tired and shut up.

Patty, this Paul Craig Roberts? You are studying his work?

Granted, it is important to know such stuff exists, but why are you examining that man's thinking and proselytizing?

He has been discredited by many and lost his job as Assistant Editor at Wall Street Journal when he refused to stifle conservative authors. There has never been a question that he was discredited for his honesty all one needs to do at look at his normal financial status in comparison to the very wealthy other former Assistant Secretaries of the Treasury. They cant take this away from him though.

Very interesting, thanks.
EDITED TO ADD.. Looking over these 'comments' about one of his articles surely presents a rare glimpse into his following.

Thanks Patty. He sounds like someone whose views probably have validity. I will look into him. always glad to have new sources to check out, even if, after checking them out, I find they are less than reliable as valid sources. This one sounds worthwhile.

Putin tried to warn the G8 last June and they didn't listen. He helped President Obama save face with his redline crap that had him in a corner where even his own party wouldn't back him up. They didn't listen to him.
“You want President Bashshar al-Asad to step down? Look at the leaders you’ve made in the Middle East in the course of what you have dubbed the “Arab Spring.” Now the peoples of the region are rejecting those leaders. The revolution against Muhammad Mursi in Egypt continues and anybody who knows the character of Egyptian society is aware of the fact that it is a deeply rooted secular society of varied cultures and civilizations with a history of advanced political activity. It will never accept attempts to impose things upon it by force.
Putin went on: “You have spread anarchy in Libya after Mu‘ammar al-Qadhdhafi. Nobody can put together an authority capable of working to rebuild the state there. Yemen after the departure of ‘Ali ‘Abdallah Salih lacks stability in government and there is no peace in the streets. Military and security unrest continues to prevail in all the regions of the country. As to the Persian Gulf, the whole area from Bahrain to the rest of the states there is sitting atop a volcano,” Putin said.
“You want Russia to abandon Asad and his regime and go along with an Opposition whose leaders don’t know anything except issuing fatwas declaring people heretics, and whose members – who come from a bunch of different countries and have multiple orientations – don’t know anything except how to slaughter people and eat human flesh. You use double standards and approach the crisis in Syria using summer and winter styles under one roof. You lie to your own peoples so as to further your interests. This is none of our business. But it is impermissible for you to lie to us and to the countries and peoples of the world, because the international stage is no longer yours alone. Your ability to monopolize it the way you did two decades ago is now gone for good.”

Putin continued: “In Syria all of you are standing on the side of the forces that for the last 10 years you have claimed to be fighting against under the rubric of ‘fighting terror.’ Now today you are with them, helping them to take power across the region. You declare that you’re going to arm them and work to facilitate sending their fighters to Syria to bring it down, weaken it, and break it up.” Putin asked, “In God’s name what kind of democracy are you talking about? You want a democratic regime in Syria to take the place of the Asad regime, but are Turkey and the countries you’re allied with in the region blessed with democracy?”

Putin addressed US President Obama specifically, saying: “Your country sent its army to Afghanistan in the year 2001 on the excuse that you are fighting the Taliban and the al-Qa‘idah Organization and other fundamentalist terrorists whom your government accused of carrying out the 11 September attacks on New York and Washington. And here you are today making an alliance with them in Syria. And you and your allies are declaring your desire to send them weapons. And here you have Qatar in which you [the US] have your biggest base in the region and in the territory of that country the Taliban are opening a representative office.”
