Hi kettle. Also not an ad hominem considering your history of disregarding individual liberty.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

You called Gormwood a liar for saying that you call "anyone expecting human rights to all a terrorist apologist."
He then linked a thread where for several posts you go on a rant where you do essentially that. Moreover, in reply you double down, saying " cuz disregarding the ''rights'' of terrorist scumbags is exactly the same as disregarding the rights of average citizens."

Now, last I checked, terrorist or not, as long as a person is a person they fall under the definition of "all [people]" that Gormwood was referring to, and thus this exposes that your post calling Gormwood a liar was not, as the kids say, a solid take.

Wrong. I called Gauth a liar for saying that I expect him to recognize any rights as that's what I got from reading his post. And I don't care what definition he was referring to considering his definition is utter shit, I was informing WRA that Gauth doesn't care for individual liberty and showing a post where I want terrorists to be punished isn't exposing any hypocrisy considering that going after people who commit atrocities against innocents in the name of their god isn't a violation of any human rights. They're not the same fucking thing.

Henceforth he's a liar.

No, I called Gauth a liar for saying that I expect him to recognize any rights. And showing a post of me talking about destroying terrorists, people who do wrong to others, doesn't show any hypocrisy.

There would have been less griping if Trump did clean house in the beginning instead of this wait until they piss him off then replace them spree he's in the middle of right now. And it's rather paranoid to assume every single employee from a previous administration is mandated to sabotage the incoming one.

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you. And yes, there would have been less griping, which is unfortunate. Really Trump should have been praised for not following Obama's example, and supported when he eventually had to force people out in order to fulfill his duties. But that's not what happened and it's not going to happen and so we can expect Republicans to begin participating in the politicization of the federal bureaucracy; after all, they've been given no choice.
