The Pursuit Of A Response
Chris' post today, reminds me that I have been anticipating an on subject response from another reader.
A fellow who commented under the name Cobra, (btw, Chris insists on calling him by his given name, Darrin, rather than his pseudonym), was given ample opportunity to rant on about his tangential argument to my post of June 28, however when I asked him an on point question he went away.
I could conclude that Cobra has no resolve to win this war. But, really, I suspect he may find the task of being positive to be too hard. For so many liberal commenters it seems that making affirmative statements, devoid of conspiracy theories and false accusations is impossible. I am referring to, mostly, commenters of the extreme leftist persuasion. Those weenie kooks who believe Howard Dean has a brain and that Dhick Dhurbin knows history. Those same Clinton apologists and Jimma Carter followers who see Ted Kennedy as an ethical figure who stands up for the little guy, and believes everything all three say. WooHoo, what a laugh! Those same fools who can not bring themselves to realize that Liberal Internationalism as a foreign policy is a formula for national suicide. If you think the UN should dictate our foreign policy, I am talking about you. That policy was tried and failed.
For my buddy Cobra, making a positive point was impossible, though he is just dandy at providing links and leaving it to the reader to divine their signifigance (generally none). And actually responding on topic remains a challenge he can not master.
Though I am willing to continue his education, he has not turned in his homework. We can help you de-program, we can show you the errors in your logic processes, and point you in a direction which will allow you to reason on your own. But, you must do your part first.
We still ask, Cobra, where is your resolve?
Comments
Cobra, in your comment you ask, "If my commenter's privileges are "suspended", how can I respond to your question?".
The answer is simple, you still have the ability to write a comment, but it won't be seen on the blog until it is approved. So, just write an on point response, and it will be approved and displayed on the site. The key concept in that statement is your burden to answer on point.
In your e-mail you also state, "Second, maybe you can define what "winning" looks like, since President Bush and his Administration apparently can't.". We won't be defining terms for you, it is implied in our request that we assume you can define for yourself what it is to win. We are lookng for you to make an affirmative statement explaining your resolve to win, any superflous material added will disqualify your response.
Are you up to the task? Cobra, where is you resolve to win the war on terror?
