I see what you did there
But that's different.
I don't agree with you, so therefore I must not look at it in an objective manner. You sum up the libertarian attitude quite nicely. There are no disagreements, only failures of principle, according to your "objective" world view.
Another option is right in front of your face, but perhaps the blinding light of your brilliant objectivity kept you from seeing it.
What if, and I know this is crazy talk, but what if I think there's a fundamental difference in the two kinds of interference? What if I can explain it according to a consistent philosophy? What if, gasp, we just disagree? Nope, that can't be it. Just like I can't make a principled, logical, choice to vote for a Romney or a Santorum as the best possible choice for freedom. Nope, it's not a disagreement, it's that I don't really love freedom, and that I'm in love with Romney's hair and that I get my marching orders from Rush Limbaugh, and that I just want to be on a winning team.
But thanks, I'll work on my lack of objectivity. I'll use you as my shining example.
Saying that America's foreign policy is dumb is the truth. Saying that it led to madmen flying planes into our buildings is a Blame America First strategy.
Classic.Nope. What makes you Hate America First is when you blame America's actions for whatever bad happens to us.
Good example.Saying that America's foreign policy is dumb is the truth. Saying that it led to madmen flying planes into our buildings is a Blame America First strategy.
No, the principles aren't the same. They would be the same if you said that McVeigh was justified for blowing up the Federal building in OKC because he was upset about Waco and Ruby Ridge. He was a mad man in search of an excuse. Same with the Islam-o-tweakers.
No, not dumb. Obviously people have a good memory for being f***ed with.
The Iranians didn't appreciate their democratically elected Prime Minister being removed by the CIA. It didn't "expire" from their memories.
How long would you be bitter about your president being removed by a foreign government? And yet you blame Islam for the blowback once again.
It's Israels problem. Israel is perfectly capable of dealing with it. Hell, they threaten to deal with it every week it seems yet we beg them not to. Why? Let them deal with it, it's not our problem.
I'm not even a fan of being "allies" with Israel anyway. Being an ally implies it's a mutually beneficial partnership. In the case of Israel we give and they take, period. They don't help us with our military missions anywhere in the world and we fund their military expeditions. We give them billions, they give us nothing in return.
I'm not ready to send our youth to go die for their problems when we have our own problems right here at home. Is Israel helping to man our border with Mexico? Are they helping us defend South Korea from the North? Did they help out in Kosovo? Are they doing anything other than fighting with their neighbors on our dime?
According to the Bible you are duty bound as a Christian to defend the Jews ("God's Chosen") and Israel. If you don't you will burn in hell.
This is absurd on several different levels.

Oh, I missed that passage in Bible school. Disregard my previous post. Let's go kill some more brown people.
Hey, speak for yourself, America-lover. I've got a reputation to uphold here.What if, gasp, we just disagree and I don't actually 'hate America' or 'blame America first'?

Hey, that's what it says (or so some will tell you). Didn't say I agreed with it.
Some may tell you that, I agree. That's definitely not what it says though.
Farsi. Iranians speak Farsi. Knowing what language they speak is the first step in translating it.
Don't feel bad. It's a common tactic.
Yep, the "a vote for anybody other than Paul is support for tyranny" crowd belts it out at the rate of at least one a day.
Apples and oranges. I'm not suggesting, nor am I in a position, to invade them over it. So your attempted analogy is, well, dumb.
