It is in that sense that I find it troubling to be in opposition to my own side. Moral objections are fine, but survival is, if not finer, at least preferable to most people.<br /><br />But a global system that depends on a pseudo-democracy of lies intent on creating a caste system of plutocrats, technicians and the dumb masses to be bred, culled, brainwashed and exploited as so many slaves has no charm for me.CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399620869685840906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867260065662559631.post-2374157152586538332014-03-17T12:19:44.653-07:002014-03-17T12:19:44.653-07:00Didn't Samuel Johnson say that patriotism is t...Didn't Samuel Johnson say that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel? Ha ha. I'm not accusing you of being a scoundrel BTW, far from it you do some great work, just wondering about patriotism.....<br /><br />I don't see myself on any side TBH. I prefer to go with morality and truth. And yes that must include integrity, decency, honour, and respect too. The western money power, that wants to dominate every human being on the planet, certainly doesn't feature these qualities very often. They have a long and dark history of the opposite in fact....pete fairhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526008552520681417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867260065662559631.post-43706026156973051202014-03-16T15:52:43.477-07:002014-03-16T15:52:43.477-07:00Thanks.

But how can one support a Western alliance that has abandoned all integrity, decency, honour, and respect for the intelligence of its own people?CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399620869685840906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867260065662559631.post-69413067484418556552014-03-16T13:51:59.255-07:002014-03-16T13:51:59.255-07:00Spot on and thanks. You really couldn't make a...Spot on and thanks. You really couldn't make all this up. It is an impossible case to argue by US/EU/NATO. A resort to insults usually indicates that the argument is lost of course. Most sensible people realise this......<br /><br />Clearly the braindead don't realise, but they don't think for themselves either, so they are beyond help really. Just console yourself with the thought that they are irrelevant too. You've already demolished the relevance of "democracy" in previous posts I think.....<br /><br />Our so called "leaders" in the so called "west" are utterly shameless. Saying one thing and doing the opposite is second nature to them. Putin seems to be a real statesman in comparison, and he holds a few strong cards. Lets hope that he plays them wisely.....<br /><br />Meanwhile please keep on exposing the BSpete fairhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526008552520681417noreply@blogger.com
