Why Does Obama Say This........

[93henfan]

I don't have too many "darkest fears" other than people trying to kill me or my family because I don't believe in their stupid goatfucking backward ass religion of hate.

We all have that.

Yes but yes but Christians are just as bad

Just wanted to make sure you knew that

Because I do know it and I assume you dont

So just FYI

Weren't you the one recently accusing others of using a strawman argument?

I was just trying to save you some typing

BTW you need to go look up straw man. Then go look up sarcasm

I call it the Trip clause. You tell me you're atheist and prove it by not trying to blow things up, you get to live and drink beers and stuff. And no head scarfs. Anyone wearing a headscarf when the temperature is above 40F gets shot on sight. And no hats without brims unless again, it's under 40F. This applies to the black buys wearing the little Jim Brown things, the muzzies with the white ones, and the Jews with their little head frisbees. All that shit gotta go.

I forgot to give kudos to this.

Nice work 93. Does it include Western Washington head scarf wearing hipsters?

Yes. And don't forget the Eastern Washington flat brim baseball hat wearers.

And, all ~2 billion muslims in the world aren't trying to kill you or your family.

I know this is shocking.

But their book says it's cool. That's the shocking part. If they are orthodox-level followers, their duty is to convert me or kill me.

Interesting contrast. Wahhabism/sharia ain't exactly a compelling ideology...at least to my glutinous western mind.

For George W. Bush, the fight against jihadist terrorism was World War III. In his speech to Congress nine days after 9/11, Bush called al-Qaeda “the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century ... they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism, and totalitarianism.” Many Republicans still see the “war on terror” in these epic terms. After the Paris attacks, Marco Rubio didn’t merely warn that the Islamic State might take over Iraq, Syria, and other parts of the Middle East. He warned that it might take over the United States. America, he argued, is at war with people who “literally want to overthrow our society and replace it with their radical Sunni Islamic view of the future.” In his telling, the United States and “radical Islam” are virtual equals, pitted in a “civilizational conflict” that “either they win or we win.

Obama thinks that’s absurd. Unlike Rubio, he considers violent jihadism a small, toxic strain within Islamic civilization, not a civilization itself. And unlike Bush, he doesn’t consider it a serious ideological competitor. In the 1930s, when fascism and communism were at their ideological height, many believed they could produce higher living standards for ordinary people than democratic capitalist societies that were prone to devastating cycles of boom and bust. No one believes that about “radical Islam” today. In Obama’s view, I suspect, democratic capitalism’s real ideological adversary is not the “radical Islam” of ISIS. It’s the authoritarian, state-managed capitalism of China.

While Republicans think ISIS is strong and growing stronger, Obama thinks it’s weak and growing weaker. “Terrorists,” he declared on Sunday, now “turn to less complicated acts of violence like the mass shootings that are all too common in our society.” In other words, the Islamic State probably can’t do anything to America that we Americans aren’t doing to ourselves all the time, and now largely take for granted.

Eh. Just depends on which verses you want to emphasize and have a strict adherence to.

There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion.

WTF?



Obama thinks ISIS is growing weaker. Yup...how's that working out? And what forms of terror was ISIS using before mass shootings? IEDs? Yeah, we probably aren't going to see any more of those, right? They just brought down an airliner...yeah, nothing to see here...that probably won't happen again.

And Obama is trying to get us focused on China as the main enemy of capitalism...after saying, "you didn't build that?"

Holy crap...what a goofy article.

Calm down. The China deal was the author's speculation and in the long run its legit. People are lazy and like to be coddled. Government providing a little comfort and security at the expense of greater government control and loss of liberty is indeed a threat.

Wait. You mean not all 2 million are murderous terrorists? Maybe we should only kill some of them.

The author cites the idea that Obama sees China's government and its controls as a threat, and yet the author doesn't comment on Obama's own forms of government control and loss of liberty as a threat, tells me all I need to know about the author's judgement.

Well it's a ripoff of Franklin used by conks to warn against the nanny state and civil liberties donks to warn against the security state.

Yes, because Obama is really a secret commie.

I thought you believed Obama was a corporate stooge who allowed businesses to utilize government to advance their interests. Not much difference than the Chinese, eh?

There are still a few differences between crony capitalism and China's authoritarianism.

I sincerely hope Cluck doesn't actually think China is a communist nation..?
In the same way Cuba was communist I guess and Saudi Arabia is democratic republic then too right..?

The only thing that's "communist" about China is the handbook
