Spend a little less time sucking up the propaganda and do a bit of research. You might end up looking less ignorant.
It is the trademark of the fanatic to immediately leap to the attack instead of defending his original proposition. Notice that our friend, Jolly Time Popcorn, at once accuses his challenger of blindness and stupidity. It is always the unwashed masses who fail to understand the Truth that is possessed by the True Believer.
Enslaved to his blind certainty, our Jolly Friend reveals himself to be not only a prat, but an ambitiously ignorant one at that. The following quote is one of the richest veins to be mined in the vast caverns of Jolly Rogers' poor excuse for a mind.
The Iraqis are not free. In every substantial way they are less free now than they were prior to the war.
Now, he makes this statement during a time in which there are no less than 65 private, free news papers operating in metropolitan Baghdad alone. He makes this statement at a time in which the Fedayeen Saddam and the Mukhabarat are not killing Iraqi civilians in their thousands. He makes this statement at a time in which water has been restored to the the Marsh Arabs, Shi'a farmers who were cruelly oppressed by the old regime. He makes this statement at a time in which Iraqi families not only keep and bear arms, but in addition, are free to come and go and travel as they please. Finally, he makes this statement at a time in which the income tax is almost nonexistant among ordinary Iraqis, thus allowing the individual Iraqi to save what he can and do what he must to make his way in the world.
Yet, the Jolly One would have us believe the hegemonic mendacity that Iraqis are less free today than they were when Saddam was in power?
The very fact that mass graves have been unearthed expose Jolly Rogers to be little more than a clever, but Continental, liar- deserving of little more than contempt, and slight regard.
Of course, having dealt with Jolly Rogers' kind in the past, I suspect that his is only here because his subscription to The Spotlight has lapsed.
Be Seeing You,
