<...smearing another load of excrement on the US and Israel...>
Once America washes off all the excrement heaped on her, by the Imperialists and DeathWorshippers and Realists-Not, perhaps then we can have a foreign policy guided by the principles in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. I am the true patriot, as I want the words "democracy" and "freedom" and "sovereignty" to be more than empty slogans. I want us to win this war against violent religious fundamentalism (and I don't mean just the Islamic variety), and that means winning a global battle of hearts and minds, and that (in turn) means words have to start matching actions. The current hypocrisy in the conduct of our foreign policy will lead to our defeat, unless it is radically changed.
I posted:
<First faith, then facts. This is the motto.
Some facts must be ignored, some facts must be stretched and stretched, to cover everything we need them to cover. If the existing organizational machinery of fact-production and fact-stretching prove inadequate for the task at hand, then people with greater Faith must be recruited (i.e., the Cabal). It's like growing a garden: you pick the weeds, prune and shape, fertilize with funding and legitimacy, and harvest all the facts you need, of whatever variety and flavor your Faith requires.
First Faith, then facts.>
and
<But we already know that Faith is far more powerful than facts.
With enough Faith, you can create facts, while the opposite is not true. With enough faith, we can create entire industries for the purpose of creating and propagating our elaborate National Myths. With enough Faith, we can create FactsOnTheGround, as the Pilgrims did, as Cortez did in the blood-stained Halls of Montezuma, as Sharon is doing on the hilltops of Samaria. No facts are pre-existing in the world around us, we don't discover facts, we manufacture them. They are ephemeral, malleable, plastic; servants for us to create, use, and discard at will.
First Faith, then Facts.
Or
Ignorance is Strength.>
and then
<"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything." - Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)>
The bolded part above, is to make my irony even more obvious. See it now?
