Rebecca, If it is so easy for you to forgive the "shortcomings" of the Dems then you shouldn't have problems with people voting Reps. They too have their shortcomings (and are entitled to that, like the Dems). Both parties have mad...

Sorry, Rebecca, but the message that I want to send to the Democrats is "You screw me, you lose me!" The Democrats lost me long ago. The message which you seem to prefer is "Roll me over and do it again." No matter how bad the ...

The dizzying intellect of Gilbert Achcar—which runs circles around itself, chasing its own tail—can be read like a contradictory syllogism: [1] "The Syrian revolution in its current phase is above all a democratic revolutio...

Obviously can't take seriously Achcar's suggestion that Libya wasa "failure" for the West, nor his grand dogmatic pronouncement that "militarization was unavoidable" in Syria. How can he seriously claim that &qu...

As ever, Prof. Chomsky talks sense. I have an MA in Critical Theory, so I'm painfully aware of the verbosity and self-congratulatory nonsense found in some work. It's nice to know that it's not just me that finds someone like Der...
