You see the whole premise surrounding your inattention to detail is not so much the moving of the prisoners, or even the closing of the facility, in Guantanamo and moving it to the midwest, but "enduring national shame" is the continued use and approval of indefinite detention for people never charged and some of them cleared of any wrong doing, and yet still being incarcerated. Indefinitely. That seems like something to be ashamed of. Try and google that one, smart guy.

Entering the search term "Congress blocks Guantanamo closure" returns no less than 2,160,000 results which clearly indicate that Glenn Greenwald is lying. Either he can't read, is astonishingly incompetent as a journalist, or is diliberately put out misleading propagnada.<br /><br />I'm going with number 3. <br /><br />David Siroto, meanwhile, appears content to serve as drone boy's water carrier and is of no use to anyone other than Greenwald.kfreednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-58556080579703569332013-04-19T13:01:33.340-05:002013-04-19T13:01:33.340-05:00***BUTTHURT CODE RED!***

Driftglass is always sarcastic.<br /><br />2. David Sirota and Glenn Greenwald only care about their careers in the media. They manipulate libertarians and progressives pet issues like they are playing tunes to sell books and get on TV.<br /><br />3. Chris Hayes absolutely deserves criticism for leaning on Sirota over and over again, as Sirota is generally self-absorbed, misogynist mansplainer in the vein of William Saletan. He's DC through and through.<br /><br />4. David Brooks is on NPR all the time. David Brooks is wrong about everything. David Brooks is a Republican apologist and does all he can to put the velvet glove on the iron fist. David Brooks wields influence on the NY Times Op-Ed page, and people need to know who he is, his history, and why he's a vile human being, instead of him just being some omnipresent "voice" with which the general public simply nods in agreement.<br /><br />5. There is no such thing as true conservatism in America. There is a movement based on the defense of privilege, theocratic laws, authoritarian impulses, pure commercial opportunism, and a hatred of liberals, who are responsible for most of the social progress in the past century. To blather about dialectics and dogmatism and "true solutions" is simply a more complicated way of saying "Both Sides Do It." Because those God-denying atheists, they're just like the God-bothering Christians they hate, amirite? Yup, my facile assertion conveniently makes me feel ideologically pure and puts me on a pedestal above any and all debate, because instead of making a hard decision, I can simply strut my moral superiority of not making any decisions at all, and live my life as a pure apolitical innocent who has no opinions about anything.

You have to see that what passes for liberal is in the same vortex as all the things you love to hate.<br /><br />To deny is to affirm. Just as the essential dialectical debacle of atheism is that it seems to reject "God". It's a stripe of dogmatism that can't live without the thing it rejects.<br /><br />Endless blathering about how awful a thinker David Brooks is, and how unfair it is that he gets so much attention will always be a morass of giving him more attention. Being right is specifically uninteresting aspect of the solution spaces for our collective pathos, unless it's connected to a movement to do something better.<br /><br />Apparently, this is about a lot more than being a better conservative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-90319209732133595642013-04-18T16:25:07.117-05:002013-04-18T16:25:07.117-05:00I am sure that the criticism from someone who can&...I am sure that the criticism from someone who can't even muster up a nym will be cutting dg to the quick.zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-2449130452561078602013-04-18T14:31:40.148-05:002013-04-18T14:31:40.148-05:00Droneglass attacks his fellow liberals not for the...Droneglass attacks his fellow liberals not for their groveling loyalty to the "commander-in-chief" - but for the few shreds of decency a few can still muster in (meekly) criticising (some of) his more egregious crimes. <br /><br />Disgusting.
