Heard This on CNN This Morning

[diplomat019]

So we are $17 trillion in debt as a country and people are upset that we cut spending?

[diplomat019]

We spend more as a country on our defense in the next 10 countries combined.

[The_Field_Ager]

 We are also allowing anyone to enter our country which is a big concern to me.

 

 

It should be, read this:

 

 

 

The European Union’s own border agency, Frontex, had admitted that it has no way of knowing the true number of illegal immigrants crossing the continent as it has no means to track them. It concedes that a “staggering number” of jihadis have taken advantage of the situation to enter Europe.

There is no doubt that Bush, after removing Saddam Hussein from power, who kept an iron grip on Iraq allowing terrorists no safe haven, is responsible for creating the power vacuum inside Iraq that brought about the creation of ISIS. Sorry all you Obama haters but ISIS is one thing you can't blame on him.

Well Obama certainly isn't doing anything to stop them either. In fact, he is doing everything he can to more or less help these fanatics who are killing innocent people all over the world just for the hell of it.

 

I am not really in fear of nuclear war anymore. The 80's are over. They push the button, then we push the button, then everyone pushes the button and that's all she wrote. Everyone dies and no one wins.

I think we have already been nuked Buck still have antlers that have not dropped LOL.Our Country has gone to pot/worth nothing to other Unions,We cannot blame anyone but ourselves for this we as a country once offered freedom and now we are paying to stop this fight.Obomba has had 8 years to turn a mole hill back to useable land of freedom to a war of discomfort.As a leader of our country he has done some things that were good but now that he is retiring has become an informant to other countries we need to revoke his pass ports soon.

[Grouse]

There was no power vacuum in Iraq as long as the US had a large military force there working to install a democracy.

 

ISIS is the result of Obama's ill advised draw down of US troops far too soon, just to meet a campaign promise.  He was told by everyone that matters, not to do it and he did it anyway.

 

Obama owns the ISIS problem.  He is the one who allowed them to form, expand, gain power and terrorize that whole region of the world.  I wouldn't be surprised if history proves he did it intentionally.

WHOA!  Wait a minute.  Isn't this the General Chit Chat forum?  

 

How is it a thread on the "Fracking Ban" was moved out of here for being political, but this obviously political thread has not been?

 

Where are those two guys who were so "offended" by politics about fracking?  Are they not upset about the politics in this thread?  Perhaps it is the issue they find offensive rather than the politics in general.

 

I smell a certain level of discrimination on this site regarding politics.  Hmmmm.

Everyone knows the US military had no control over what was happening in Iraq once Saddam Hussein was removed from power. As for installing democracy who are we to shove what we think is right down the throats of others? Kind of like when the right wingnuts try to shove their so called "social values" upon other American's, how's that working out for them? Not too good as a large majority reject those notions as unfit for today's accepted, varied lifestyles that they constantly condemn.

[Grouse]

Let's do this point by point

Everyone?  I think not.  But we sure as hell can all agree we had no control once Obama pulled the US out.

So when the people of a foreign nation ask for our help, we should just tell them to fugg off?

How is it a "large majority" reject these notions, if ballot initiatives supporting values always pass, leaving the Left to resort to activist court rulings to implement their agenda?  And let's not ignore that Leftist supporters and practitioners of these accepted lifestyles also support the cultures of other countries that put the people practicing these varied lifestyles in jail or to death.

HA HA HA HA HA!

 

Just your average everyday General Chit Chat about hunting going on here.

If they ask for our help then we should provide it. However we have no business invading another country to impose what we think is right upon them.

[Rattler]

Didn't Kuwait ask us to help them when Hussein invaded their country?

[Uptown Redneck]

They did and we did and then we packed up our toys and went home. At no time did we try to impose our will upon them.
