Marblehead Posted January 9, 2017 And BTW, it was the Obama Administration who gave weapons to the rebels in Libya; yes, the rebels who killed our embassy employees because Clinton refuse to give them any additional protection. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it really is a difficult situation to talk peacefully about. We can talk all we want but until they start seriously talking with each other not much is going to change. Trump is going to have to repair the peace that has been broken between the USA and many of the Middle Eastern countries. I haven't heard anything from him regarding our being in the Middle East. I really don't expect any significant changes but he might surprise me and start pulling our support out. Our support for the Rebels in Syria by Obama was because he knew Syria is a Russian ally and Obama just wanted to worsen our relations with Russia. But then he kisses Iran's ass. Yes, Iran, the people who still have not apologized for taking our embassy people hostage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect part of Obama's animosity towards Russia traces back to that Pravda article which said he was a “Communist without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without calling it so.” Or maybe it was the one the next month in which they warned the American people not to let Obama take away their right to keep and bear arms like the Soviets did right after the October Revolution? Hard to say, I guess -- but the whole "the 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back" rhetoric certainly proved short-lived, didn't it? Now they are the boogyman.

Marblehead Posted January 10, 2017 Let us not forget that walls not only keep people out but they also keep people in. During my twenty years in the Army I visited many, many countries. I never needed a passport. I come back to the States and retire and find I need a passport to go visit my next door neighbor. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

s1va Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) This statement always baffles me. Trump said the media is corrupt, so that is playing on people's fears? Meanwhile, the democratic side's entire campaign pushes propaganda aimed at fears around racism and war. They make speeches about woman being abused under Trump, even though Bill Clinton rapes woman. Trumps entire campaign was economy based: fixing insane trade deficits, lowering taxes to attract business, securing borders, and limiting government spending. He is extremely fit for the job. Hillary Clinton offered zero change, after following a presidency that doubled national debt. Hillary's entire campaign was based around exploiting Trump by pushing fears of racism and Trumps locker room insults towards woman. That is why she didn't win. It is all incredibly hypocritical, and to actually buy into the statement quoted is insane. Normally, I try to stay away from political topics. After coming here and reading, I can't resist but post. What you have stated are facts. I am baffled that many can't see this. It's not about who is holy and who is a sinner, as this poll turned out to be. It was about the message. Trump did talk about economy, that's something. Whereas the main focus of Hilary's campaign was attacking and ridiculing Trump, no substance of their own. It's funny they are surprised by the outcome. Edited January 10, 2017 by Cauvery 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

s1va Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) And pissed off a lot of Jews and got himself killed. Not a good plan, IMO. I heard that Hillary considered painting herself black and pretending she was Obama running for a third term. I laugh and have lot of fun when I read your posts -- including some welcome posts. Many thanks for the humor -- packed with the message that you want to coney. Wise way to communicate -- I am learning. If I feel down, I guess just reading some of your posts will cheer me up.

Brian Posted January 11, 2017 Obama is making a good speech right now, but it is hard to ignore the discrepancies.An truly excellent speech, despite being liberally sprinkled with divisive propaganda and polarizing assertions. The democracy:republic ratio was striking. He deserves credit for his emphasis on the importance of remembering that those Americans who disagree with you are still Americans. He spoke more in that hour about rule of law and the importance of the Constitution than in the entirety of the preceding eight years, I think. He's making it clear, also, (in this speech as well as in other recent statements) that he doesn't intend to honor the tradition of stepping aside to allow his successor to run his administration without the interference of the outgoing chief executive. Not surprising, really, but disappointing nonetheless. He had an opportunity to take the high road and he chose, instead, to signal that his campaign continues. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

futuredaze Posted January 11, 2017 http://www.wnd.com/2017/01/even-more-evidence-obama-birth-certificate-fake Biggest con in the last 100 years? I'd be all for excusing him.... if he wasn't a terrible president. I guess in Obama's case he is a failure both in his ends (his actions) and his means to an end (lying). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
