Hypocrisy of the Left

J K Galbraith - "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."
The p*ssing contest aside, it's not exactly a global secret that the US (and Britain) provided Iraq with their chemical weapons capability. Those on the receiving end of America's forced hegemony don't give a damn who the president is or was. They don't blame Bush, or Reagan, or Obama, they blame America.
Germans like warm beer? None of the Germans I have known. The last I heard was that the Brits liked warm beer.
The whole "Brits drink warm beer" thing is a bit misleading actually. Some of their ales are pretty tasty and they are served cold. It's usually the lager and stout that are served at room temp, IIRC.
Guinness Extra Stout is nasty, it's black, warm, horrid and thick enough to roll it up and smoke it.
Cool.
hahahaha
Seriously, the Germans I have met prefer pilsner and it has to be cold, like between 5 and 10° C. cold. Austrians seem to like lager more. Personally, I like porter, cream ale, and stout the best but pilsner and lager are good. Stammtisch is my fave pilsner and Kronenburg is favourite lager.
Kind'a human naturish of him, eh? Anyone who thinks they'd never succumb to personal greed when faced with piles of money has never been in that position. I'm not saying everyone would succumb to greed, but no one can really say they'd never do that unless they already passed the test.
It's one of those ethical/moral "dilemmas" where we like to believe we'd pass the test and even be so bold as to definitively state we'd pass the test, but you just don't know until you're in that position. Everyone has a price. They might not know what is it until the right offer/opportunity is presented but everyone has a price.
Throughout my life I've pretty well found that the hypocrisy on the left balances out the hypocrisy on the right!
I agree. Personally, I think I am worth about $150 worth of elements and some $40 million in body parts like kidneys, corneas, bone marrow, etc. currently.
Personal frailties aren't divided evenly by political philosophies, Walter! You should know that! 
You must be one super sized woman.
