perhaps we should love them more



http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/obama-says-singling-out-muslims-makes-no-sense-n544301
" President Obama joined the growing chorus Wednesday condemning Sen.
Ted Cruz for calling on cops to "patrol and secure Muslim
neighborhoods" in the wake of the Belgian terror attacks.

Speaking in Argentina, Obama said that strategy "makes no sense."
...

"Obama also ripped Cruz's oft-stated call for "carpet-bombing" Islamic
State militants in Iraq and Syria."

"What we don't do, and what we should not do, is take approaches that
are gonna be counterproductive," Obama said. "So when I hear somebody
saying we should carpet bomb Iraq or Syria, not only is that inhumane,
not only is that contrary to our values, but that would likely be an
extraordinary mechanism for (ISIS) to recruit more people willing to
die and explode bombs in an airport or in a metro station. That's not
a smart strategy."



note the dishonest elision from
'islamic state militants in iraq and syria' to 'iraq or syria'

Looks like 0bama is just living it up doing the tango in Argentina,
and enjoying the unrest he and his demonrat policies create in Europe.
Not that I would expect that Shiite black African Muslim to do otherwise.

It is time for a big strong European army with Russia in it,
to counter the insanity of a decadent rotting away US empire.

And Trump should run without that republican party that tries to backs tab him.
He will win.

But it doesn't make any sense. Spies in the Islamic communities make
sense. Stopping Islamic immigration makes sense. Walking around Islamic
ghettoes make very little sense. It is easy for terrorists to evade. Its
not a case of agreeing or disagreeing with a policy, some policies are
just plain stupid.

Cruz scares me a lot more than Trump.

Its not an elision. It is a common ambiguity of the English language
that and and or can be used for the same meaning. Logically I prefer
Obama's usage.

No he didn't. From your own citation:

"So when I hear somebody saying we should carpet bomb Iraq or Syria, not only is that inhumane, not only is that contrary to our values, but that would likely be an extraordinary mechanism for (ISIS) to recruit more people willing to die and explode bombs in an airport or in a metro station. That's not a smart strategy."

Put in words you understand: carpet bombing would wipe out civilians, and maybe some ISIS members. Not smart.

Obama never learned those lessons in the first place.
Remember, Liberalism: "We know how to do socialism right".

"one who acts in response to particular situations rather
than upon abstract ideals; one who is willing to ignore
their ideals to accomplish goals." I do not see that as
a good quality in a president.

Trump is a bellicose, selfish, self-aggrandizing, childish bully
who plays to the crowd, but doesn't actually give a shit about the
little guy. Trump makes campaign promises he knows he can never keep.
When pushed about HOW he will do things, he avoids the question, because
he has no satisfactory answer. The notion that he might sit
in the Oval Office should scare you a great deal.

What sky pixie? Cruz has a proven record of supporting the Constitution
and conservative principles. If you're a liberal,
he's not your man. What are you afraid of, that he actually
might persuade Congress to cut taxes?

Ok, but I'm trying to understand how that description differs from any
of the other candidates.

Cut taxes for who? Distribution of wealth is an interesting issue. The
ability of taxation to affect distribution of wealth within the US in
the context of a global free trade economy is limited. I think the
sensible opinion is moving towards import and immigration controls.

bellicose: inclined or eager to fight; aggressively hostile;
belligerent; pugnacious. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/bellicose
Trump is an order of magnitude more bellicose than any other candidate.

Synonyms for self-aggrandizing: arrogant; bombastic; cocky; pompous;
pretentious; conceited; egotistical; loudmouth; smart-alecky; strutting;
swaggering; vainglorious; windbag
http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/self-aggrandizing
Trump is an order of magnitude more self-aggrandizing than any other
candidate.

Trump is the ONLY presidential candidate this election cycle who has
behaved like a childish bully. He has single-handedly drug the campaign
into the dirt.

He promised to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. Despite being
repeatedly asked, he refuses to say HOW he would make Mexico pay for it.
I think what he has in mind is to impose tariffs on imports. That'
not making Mexico pay for it, that's making the little people who buy
his Donald J. Trump Signature Collection menswear pay for it. That's
only one example of many.

that does not make 'isis' into 'syria and iraq'...therefore it is
dishonest

you also cut the headers...which is also dishonest...

i must assume you are a socialist, but at least your nym appears

When it comes to the fight against ISIS it appears
you aren't paying attention to the facts.

Russia just spent six months supposedly dumb bombing
ISIS.

Here's a map of ISIS territory lost and gained
since Russia started indiscriminate bombing.
Note the ISIS losses are almost all due to the
US backed Kurds in Syria and US supported
Iraqi forces.

While in the Russian area of operation ISIS has
made big gains towards Damascus.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CdnV60BXEAAlIWO.jpg


It's a mistake to think the US isn't aggressively
fighting ISIS as we type.

For instance, just yesterday we killed the #2 leader
of ISIS.


(CNN)The Pentagon said Friday that it had killed ISIS'
finance minister, Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli,
whom many analysts consider the group's No. 2 leader.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/25/politics/isis-no-2-in-command-killed-u-s-believes/


And from just yesterday this video of A-10's attacking ISIS
was posted, filmed by ISIS.

(video 0:27)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMc16nVHLFU

From last month
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA9ZJqwlPX4



And the US and Iraq are steadily preparing for
the massive battle to take Mosul maybe sometime
this year. Mosul would be difficult to take even
for a large US force, ISIS has set up defense
in depth of that city to such an extent it's
now the most well defended city in the world.


Below are pictures of victims of Russian carpet bombing
Syria, is this what you want the US to be known for???

Don't look away...


Images and videos from Syria mostly from *one week*...
Not the entire six month bombing campaign.

i've kf'd you/him as a terminal bore with nothing interesting to say

it won't harm the alleged donors nearly as much as it will harm the
common masses who will have to pay more for their toys...

meanwhile trump claims to be funding his own candidature

o'barmy and doubtless lying hillary got more from wall street than
their republican rivals

>>Actually, Frump is a capitalist, a free trader, etc, etc

not according to his public expostulations...

on economics he's mostly talking as much garbage as sanders...

i doubt lying hillary will do anything she says...and others like
bill will 'guide' her...she's too dumb to work anything much
out for herself

with luck, if trump wins, he will prove to be nearly as big a liar as
hillary

My internet provider is/was Verizon. They are switching email over to AOL.
When I log on to AOL to get my email, I get a full page pro-Hillary ad.
Lots of questions there......

Not hard to see there's quid pro quo now and in the future.

You really don't read what's gone before, do you? As I already pointed
out, a tariff on Mexican imports isn't paid by the Mexicans, it's passed
on as a price increase and paid by the end users.
