Quote: The conversation was about fiscally conservative politicians. You fail.
Son, when people are talking about the electoral college, they are talking about POTUS. Because they are the only ones who can be elected by the electoral college. Didn't you pay attention in civics class?
Quote: From saying he wanted a complete withdraw to start as soon as he takes office to saying he needed to consider the circumstances on the ground first is flip flop. You fail again.
There's nothing contradictory about those statements. A complete withdrawal yes, and he needs to consider the circumstances as to how to make that complete withdrawal as orderly as possible.
Quote: So he passed it any way even though he voted against it before without any significant changes to it? Another flip flop, stike three, Failure must be your middle name.
Try reading it again, you seem to be consistently having difficulty with reading comprehension.
From the article: CTV, the well-regarded Canadian news network, reported this week that a top Obama adviser contacted the Canadian government to calm fears that the senator was serious about rewriting pro-corporate deals such as the North American Free Trade Agreement to benefit workers, farmers and the environment.
Sure sounds like renegotiating to me and even if it isn't - so what?
Quote: Face it Obama is just the same old politician presenting only the appearance of change. He's pumping out his little balls of political bullshit and you're eating it up like truffles. LOL, it must be terrible to be as stupid as you.
To be honest I don't even know why I am defending Obama to you, since I am not voting for him. I guess its just a reflex to see tunnel vision stupidity ramble on through with nothing but a handful of talking points to support its position.
As you were.
Quote: Bravo, I am astonished that you are able to readily list incidents of Muslim armed aggression against Europe over the centuries, yet fail to recognize Islam as a contemporary threat. Exactly when did Islam lose it's propensity for jihad and expansion? Islam certainly suffered a setback with the demise of the Ottoman Empire, but that hardly was the impetus for a change in the fundamental nature of Islam (expansion by jihad) or Islam's view of its proper place in the world (domination).
I suppose it is because people who are actually familiar with the history of Islam and have a general understanding of it that happens to go farther back than 2001 can make a more objective assessment.
I'm not saying Islam is 100% benign, but there are extremists in every religion and some of them just as dangerous that champion Christianity.
What I am saying the panicked frenzy that almost every American works himself over Islam is genuinely comical and the politicians exploit to the maximum extent. Seriously, a guy (Jim B.) won't vote for a president because he doesn't think the President understands Islam but he probably supports McCain who can't even tell the difference between Sunnis and Shiites? Of course Obama can have a Ph. D. in Islamic Studies and that's still won't be enough for Jim because to him the extent of "understanding of Islam" comes down to having a guy who wants to destroy it. It's just prejudice masquerading as intellectualism.
Quote: There are a lot of chickens coming home to roost in the next few years; peak oil, emigration, the federal deficit, and the hollowing out of our manufacturing base just to name a few.
Seriously, what's the bill for the Iraq war up to now? 2 trillion? Another 300 billion package coming up around the corner to bail out the idiot homeowners after the housing crisis? Bailing out the financial industry after the credit crunch fiasco? And probably having to bail out the airlines at the end of this year because they can't stay solvent due to rising fuel prices? Stimulus checks for everybody that don't stimulate a damn thing? And that's just in 2008 (with exception of Iraq War).
Who's footing the bill for all of this? Ah. who cares CAUSE JIHADIS ARE AFTER US!!!
What a joke. This country will run itself into the ground long before any Muslims will mostly due to guys like Jim B.
As far as Iran goes, it's just more fear mongering. If anyone is intimidating anyone its the 2 carrier groups in the Persian Gulf with all their guns pointed at Iran while the US President keeps threatening them with war. Seriously, what do you expect them to do - bend over because you're publicly threatening them without a way to save face?
