If You're Outraged Over Obama Remaining in Cuba After the Brussels Attacks... - GMDino - 03-29-2016 (File under: Two wrongs don't make a right.) (File under: So much outrage these days.) (File under: People have selective memories.) http://thedailybanter.com/2016/03/if-youre-outraged-over-obama/ Quote:A particularly intolerable meme continues to play out in the news media and online: apparently U.S. history began on January 20, 2009 when Barack Obama was inaugurated. In case you were unaware, President Obama is evidently the first president to take vacations; he's the first president to play golf; he's the first president to be photographed without a suit or tie; and he's the first president to routinely use a teleprompter. If you believe any of that, then you're a moron who needs to refresh your memory about all things pre-2009. There you'll find that not only are Obama's vacations and so forth in line with most previous presidents, but in terms of overall time off, he's taken the fewest vacation days of any modern president other than Bill Clinton. RE: If You're Outraged Over Obama Remaining in Cuba After the Brussels Attacks... - PhilHos - 03-29-2016 To be fair, Democrats were the one to set the standard by which we are to judge sitting Presidents (no pun intended) with the criticism leveled at George W. Bush.

Yeah...he deserved that. But he explained why he did it. 15 years later.

All seriousness aside I always felt like W. was in over his head...even when I voted for him in 2000. I just did not want four more years of Clinton / Gore. Those 7 minutes simple reinforced it to me and I don't think he will ever change my mind. Seems like a nice guy. Did some stuff I liked and supported. Did some stuff I think are among the dumbest things ever done. (Filed under: Meh.)

Sounds like something Bush would say. ![]() RE: If You're Outraged Over Obama Remaining in Cuba After the Brussels Attacks... - GMDino - 03-29-2016 (03-29-2016, 12:16 PM)PhilHos Wrote: Why would you say "all seriousness aside" right before getting all serious?

WTS, I am upset with the standard line that is coming out from the Dems (Hillary mainly) that "We cannot let fear dictate our policy". WTF does she know about fear? She had to make up a story about dodging snipper fire. Folks can hide behind quotes all day, but the problem is increasing in Europe with the influx of immigrants and for the current establishment (and those that want to take over its polocies) to suggest that we should not only reduce, but in fact, increase immigration from countries such a Syria is putting the safety of current Americans at risk. Obama got egg on his face with his JV and other comments and now he and those that support him are going to try to prove him right regardless of the conciquence.

Typical liberal trickery ! ![]() RE: If You're Outraged Over Obama Remaining in Cuba After the Brussels Attacks... - Benton - 03-29-2016 I haven't seen the point of the issue. Ever. What do we expect? The president to drop everything, fly across the globe into a terrorist attack, take over handling it from whatever governing body is there? When did we start holding president's up to the standard of Superman? The absurdity of it is, the same people on both sides who complain about whatever the other side is doing would be bawling if an attack occurred here and some foreign leader came in and told our president what to do.

So most likely just a cowinkydink. Even you have zero idea what was the impetus for the Brussels attacks and other terrorist activities going on in Europe. There is a very good chance that an influx of like-minded people have sparked action by those already located there. You might want to contact Angela Merkle and share your knowledge of the situation as she is calling for a reduction in all Europena Nations.

I have always acknowledged that the massive influx of immigrants would cause problems for Europe, but that is much different from saying that Syrian refugees are terrorists.

Who the Hell said that. I simply said an increase in immigration, especially those from Syria could present a safety risk So do you take the same stance with problems occuring in the US as you did Europe?

I simply said an increase in immigration, especially those from Syria could present a safety risk Here is a condensed version of my take on a very very complicated issue. There has been an anti-Muslim undercurrent in European society for decades. I have been aware of it (at least among the French) since the mid '80's. The Muslim have been seen by some much like blacks in America. A violent, criminal group that are a drain on society. So I knew there would be big problems when small cash-strapped European countries were suddenly faced with hundreds of thousands of Muslims immigrants at the same time that Muslim extremists are declaring war on western culture. Even the citizens who do not have anything against Muslims don't want the refugees because of the financial burden. But the the right-wing, xenophobic extremists are spinning the theory that all the opposition against the immigrants is based on their "violent" religion and inature. And that is much different than a country like the United States taking in 25.000 refugees. |
