Those are my principles, and if you don't like them...


...well, I have others.

Does Mr. Duns find it so strange that an observer, who once parroted patriotic slogans like a good little sheeple, might learn some ugly truths about hir country, realize that its government and "respectable" media are mere tools of global capitalism, and turn to denouncing them?

"sheeple": A word used by ignorant people to denigrate others as a smakescreen for their own ignorance. A good sign that the user's opinions are beyond worthless.

Greenwald has gotten a lot smarter. Listening to brother Noam has that effect on people.

Duns does not seem to allow for the possibility of changing one's mind. According to his apparent worldview, the conversion of Saul of Tarsus would have been impossible.

It does appear that Mr. Greenwald has evolved to a deeper and more honest view of the situation over time.

Seriously? Changing your mind is only noble if you admit it. Otherwise you're just one more dick.

Hey, Id: When Greenwald SAYS he's had a series of scale-dropping revelations and when Greenwald ADMITS he was wrong, then we can say that he's had a conscious change of heart based on a reappraisal of the facts.
Until then, he's just a fucking, sniveling hypocritical careerist.

Anybody wants to know, Duns's Twitter link goes to Amazon UK, where people with Amazon US accounts can't buy the book, but Amazon US has it and the price is right.

You do realize Monster from the Id that it took divine intervention for the apostles to actually believe Saul of Tarsus had actually converted to being Paul right? And then that's after the divine intervention into Saul of Tarus' life directly from God to start the conversion in the first place.

That's kind of an important distinction between Paul and Mr. Greenwald that really should not be glossed over. So unless you've got some evidence of divine intervention, I'm going to go with the Apostles first choice of extreme skepticism about the nature and timing of Mr. Greenwald's supposed conversion.

And of course, that logic is done before looking at the manner, nature, and outcome's of Mr. Greenwald's actions. You know, that the side that Mr. Greenwald first choose happens to continue to escape most if not all of the criticism and indeed appears to have benefited greatly from his actions... Well let's just say I don't believe Mr. Greenwald had a come to Jesus moment any more than I believe Rick Perry ever did.
