TH3 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Progressive is what you call yourself when you don't have the balls to go full Bernie Sanders. Perhaps the fundamental difference in the way we view things is I expect a leader to lead. I expect the commander in chief of our military to gather the smartest military minds (and we have plenty of them) to devise a plan to work with the international community to stop this threat. I expect the leader to then formulate a plan, explain it clearly to those from whom he will require help, make the case for his plan based on what he has heard from authoritative voices. You say these murders are not a threat to the US, and again, we clearly view things differently. First, they've already butchered Americans...perhaps not enough of them for you to care, but because I do care doesn't make me wrong. Additionally, just because they haven't gotten around to us yet in large quantities doesn't mean they won't, or can't, given the absolute disregard the president has for our borders. Lastly, it's a threat to Christians. It's a threat to Jews. Regardless of whether Obama wants to admit that. Christians and Jews all over the world are watching their brothers getting lit up like a barn full of old hay, and they want to help. Even the Pope, who progressives suddenly have a use for, is pleading for leaders to take action. Our country has ALWAYS been the leader, and it will once again, but right now we need a leader and what we have is a man whose idea of being a leader is to call another meeting before heading off to golf and raise funds. (That's not me being obsessive, but rather the undeniable truth. Look at Hassan, Pearl, Benghazi...and track the president's whereabouts directly after those events.) If I do seem obsessed with Obama, I would suggest that is because he's the freaking leader of the most powerful nation in the country and he seems to not give even the slightest inkling that he cares about ANTYHING beyond his own self-interests. Why would I NOT hold our leader accountable to do the one thing he KNOWS he's supposed to do; protect the citizens of this country. When our football team sucks, do I not nold accountable the owners and coach? When my company sucks, do I not hold accountable the owner and boss? Why would you have even the slightest disregard for how I hold our president to the fire for not doing what the entire world is waiting for him to do: fight back with something other than a powerpoint? Maybe our difference is this: why bother looking for BO to lead. He has not yet. I look for the GOP for vision and they have come up small for years now. Immigration - no plan. Tax reform - nothing. Foreign policy - too scared. The GOP has congress in control and what have they done other than vote to overturn the ACA, and complain about BO. Talk about leading....the big problem I see is this lack of direction could very well mean 8 years of Hillary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Is this just another form of Islamic terrorism? http://www.gopusa.com/freshink/2015/02/19/fl-father-goes-public-after-school-instructs-son-on-muslim-prayer/?subscriber=1 A parent in Florida is concerned that his son was instructed to recite an Islamic prayer in a 10th grade history class. Lyman High School parent Ron Wagner has complained to local media after his son received a text from the history teacher reminding him to complete an assignment about Islamic prayer rugs. Imagine if a teacher required students to recite the Lord's Prayer, says John Stemberger of the Florida Family Council. Atheists and Muslims "would be up in arms" about that incident, he says, but students are being asked to cite major portions of the Islamic faith. "There's just hypocrisy here. There's a double standard," Stemberger tells OneNewsNow. "It's outrageous." News website The Daily Caller learned about Wagner's complaint, reporting that the father opened the textbook and read a chapter entitled "Rise of Islam." The story also reports that approximately 100 pages about Christianity and Judaism are missing from the textbook, which the school blamed on a "manufacturing defect." A school official told local media that the "Pillars of Islam" are "benchmarks" in Florida's public education curriculum. While that controversy was unfolding, Stemberger points out that a student at another Florida high school was disciplined for mentioning God during morning announcements. The Yulee High student ended the announcements by saying, "God bless America," and was disciplined after an atheist group threatened to sue, The Washington Times reported. Stemberger says such incidents occur more often than people realize and, unless the media picks up on it and reports it, parents often don't realize what's going on. ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GOP has congress in control and what have they done other than vote to overturn the ACA, and complain about BO. Talk about leading....the big problem I see is this lack of direction could very well mean 8 years of Hillary. So to recap, why bother to look for BO to lead since he hasn't, so let's ingore BO and look to --and be critical of -- the GOP to lead, since they haven't. Did you not look to Harry Reid to lead when he had the Senate? All he did was sit on every bill sent to him by the Republican Congress. Did you not look to Nancy Pelosi to lead when she led Congress? All she did was hold a gun to her party's head to get ACA passed. Funny how someone who insists they're not a progressive is certain that the problems we've been watching for the past six years come down to a GOP congress, which has only been in the GOP hold for the past two years. Nope. You don't sound like a progressive at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Yes stephen harper and philippe couillard are hardcore lefties. I don't follow Canadian politics ever since I moved from there. It was almost as frustrating as watching Barry and his dumb ass Ivy league idiots operate so I looked away. I first got wind that Harper might be actually good when I listened to my recently college graduating nieces drone on how bad he is. If Steve and Phillipe are as conservative as your indicating I may be tempted to relocate if things really go off the deep end here. So you got that to look forward to.

B-Man Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has escalated his battle with ISIS in Libya by sending in Egypt’s special forces, which are considered some of the best in the world. Egyptian special forces have allegedly launched a ground attack in Libya’s Islamic State-held Derna capturing dozens of Islamist militants, according to Egyptian and Libyan reports. Ansa news agency cited unnamed local sources as saying that an Egyptian commando stormed the eastern Libyan town, a stronghold of the Islamic State (Isis) there, “capturing 55 Daesh [iS] militants”. The Libyan National Army wrote on its Facebook page that Egyptian forces in coordination with the local army stormed IS camp in Derna, “killing a large number of IS militants and capturing several terrorists including Egyptians, foreigners and Arabs”. An Egyptian newspaper, ElWatan News, reported that several jihadists were killed in the operation. I suspect that the only jobs program Sisi is interested in providing ISIS involves the funeral industry. . JIM TREACHER: If You Know About Marie Harf’s Bumbling, You Don’t Rely On Network News. “State Dept. Rush Chair Marie Harf has had a tough week. She’s spent the last few days blaming Islamic terrorism on a lack of good-paying jobs, explaining why you’re too dumb to understand why that’s true, Fortunately for her, the big three networks have got her back!” Obama: Republican rhetoric on Islamic terrorism is helping ISIS, you know......................Buffoonery .

Justice Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Not 100% sure, but I wonder if it'll start with someone being burned alive in a cage for all the world to watch. Lining up dozens of poor, desperate people and slitting their throats on a beach. Murdering another 45 after that. Or maybe progressives like yourself just decided having compassion for others really isn't that important to you anymore. Or maybe your compaassion will return when it's not a progressive in the WH playing golf while humans burn. I suspect this is closer to the truth than anything else. So, you're against burning people alive and killing people on beaches? Well then were was your outrage when israel was using white phosphorous indiscriminately on Palestinians? Or when they murdered kids on the beach that were playing soccer? You make it like Christians and Jews are the only victims of Islamic terrorism when in fact muslims themselves are the biggest victims. But I guess that's okay because they're muslims, right?

One thing I've learned is that it is a simple mind that starts a sentence with "Where was your outrage when..." I'm curious...what makes you so sure I wasn't outraged?

What are you nine? Is there going to be a dance-off at the gym after school to determine the champion? I've written two basic things about Netanyahu. He's a very smart, well-spoken person who clearly has the best interests of his country at the forefront of all he does, which is what he was elected to do. I've also suggested he is, by clear comparison to Obama, a genuine leader unafraid to back down from anything or anyone and who doesn't spend his time ignoring the horrors of the world in exchange for a round of golf and a fundraiser, as his presidential history so clearly has shown. The larger question between us is now this: if we both agree ISIS should be wiped out, is there some other reason you need to chase a moral equivalent that begins with the most simple-minded words of "Where was your outrage when..."? Are you in the JTSP mindset that all Jews need to be wiped out, too or do you just hate people who don't think precisely as you do? Or maybe a bit of both?

Justice Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Picking up a group of fishermen and individually beheading them is what the IDF has been doing? ISIS is far worse than Israel. I was referring to burning people alive. White phosphorus will do that. They also kill fishermen for going out too far.
