You can't 'fight' a belief systemFox News obsession with 'fighting radical Islam' and or their obsession with President not using the term 'radical Islam' is getting a bit absurd now. For one it's not against the law 2 have 'radical beliefs' No one can arrest a 'radical right winger' until they commit a crime. I'm sure some think the KKK is 'radical' in it's belief, or the Aryan brotherhood or branches of the American black Muslim community..I'm sure they all have views that others deem 'radical'...but still that's their right. It's not until a member of one of the above communities acts out violence or breaks the law does it become illegal. In the case of Muslims across seas, same thing applies Fox News and Bill O'Reilly saying over and over again that they want criminal behavior to be identified as 'radical Islam' behavior is kind of a mute point.  I'm sure some think Bill O'Reilly is 'radical' or the Tea Party, or Southerners, yet a foreign military can't just wage war on them simply for expressing a belief. But, but, one can wage war on international criminals or war criminals, not for their belief, but rather for their actions. You can't bomb a ideology, you just can't bomb away other peoples belief system short of committing genocide. But if someone attacks you everyone has the right to fight back. The thing that makes this conflict awkward is that ISIS is not attacking the U.S. ISIS is attacking Muslim populations, and some are insisting that U.S. inserts itself in the middle of a cat fight, that maybe is long time needed to wake up other Muslim nations. But if the U.S. is always fighting for these other nations, than U.S. will always be the center of wrath to not just ISIS but others who'll later side with ISIS fighters down the road. My opinion is let the middle East sort all this crap out themselves, either now or they should forever hold their silence. They all have military's , jets, guns, weapons, let them fight, like Europe did during WWI and WW2. Not sure why U.S. always has to go in and loose troops and spend billions fighting over there, while the countries we defend sit back and watch, and secretly supply arms to the very people we're fighting!! How many times have we seen this before? They always lure us into their conflicts, to protect Royal dictatorship families or rulers, while they sit back and treat their own people like garbage, and are the first to criticize U.S. when one thing goes wrong. Like the whole bully thing...until these nations learn to fight back, Like Saddam Hussein did, they'll always continue to get bullied by these militant fighters with arms. If Saddam Hussein was still in power, believe me you none of this would be occurring, that man did not fool around...not sure why he was taken out.  Man was a straight up gangster, who kept things in order...now look at the mess over there.

P-Obama doesn't do enough to help A-Americans??I notice this sentiment comes usually from electoral GOP types, rather than thinking independent types. For one, what exactly is President suppose to do for 'black Americans' that applies specifically to that generic demographic of people, and not others? Funny (or sad) how the same GOP types who accuse President of not doing enough for A-Americans, would be the first ones hollering Affirmative action, if he did..  Which tells me GOP types who use the argument that President doesn't do enough for A-Americans don't really deep down inside think he should, and simply use that reasoning simply for campaign purposes. In truth...people are people, either one is motivated to rise and do better or they're not. The President can't personally reach down to everyone who's economically down and force a company to hire them, or force people to buy from their business, yet fake phony talk radio types suggest that cause he doesn't, that he's not really for 'black people'. And even some disillusioned 'blacks' suggest the same thing...call President a 'sell out' cause they're still suffering, making stupid mistakes under him as they did under Bush. A true Conservative or Libertarian realizes that President is not responsible for our day to do prosperity or misfortune, that's totally up to us. Presidents, while working with Congress, can sometimes create a more favorable environment in which to succeed, but ultimately it's up to the individual, not the President, whether or not someone succeeds. And if 10's of 1000's of A-Americans are doing worse under P-Obama, I imagine it has little to do with color, and more to do with other factors...just in America color is the moste easiest and laziest way to instantly identify a problem or trend. In the black community as well as the white community, or any other community, I see those who want to do well, are motivated to do well, doing well, then I see those who are sloths, lazy, unmotivated, not doing so well. And sorry but there's nothing any President black or white, can do to help those who aren't motivated to help self.

The President is right on this one
Sorry, but it's not against the law to be 'extreme' in views or thoughts...if so than many non violent American militia could be rounded up and jailed or bombed just for their thoughts.
One can hold extreme racist views, and or religious views, as long as they don't intrude on the life and liberty of others.
When that line is crossed is when Government, police or military gets involved.
It's not against the law to be Islamic...so to declare war on 'Islam' as Fox News ratings driven host parrot what they think listeners want to hear, is wrong.
It is against the law, international law, and moral decency to pick up arms and enforce onto other (through violence an death) ones belief system.
At this point such individuals are being targeted not do to their faith, but rather their actions.
Stop pause and think about that...read it again 10 times.
In other words the KKK is legal, up and until they pick up arms against others for no good reason.
You can't declare war on 'radical racist' if the radical racist haven't harmed anyone or broken any laws other than expression.
Same applies to Islam.
I true Conservative will understand this, a fake, phony Fox News, talk radio type Conservative will simply start sneezing.

Only a fake Fox News bred, talk radio bred, Conservative would blame color of skin for one not being employeedCan't stand fraudulent M/F's... First off same so called Conservatives citing black unemployment numbers under P-Obama, would be, and were the first ones under GOP President saying such 'blacks' were lazy, un motivated ect. But now under Obama they're 'victims' of his policies? And just exactly is President suppose to do, force companies to hire anyone deemed 'black'? Truth is people are unemployed for a variety of reasons, and for fake media Conservatives to look at 'color' as first and only reason why someone is unemployed smacks in the face of all logic and reason that they touted under Bush! Don't be inconsistent with me...or I'll expose your phoniness for what it is! Nothing more than electoral politics...nothing more than electoral infomercials like you hear on radio Sat/Sun mornings when they're selling vitamins.  Is this what Conservatism has come down to, nothing more than a infomercial add, where everything is scripted simply to get votes for politician who more than likely live a more 'loose' life than most 'Liberals' behind the scenes. Getting sick of this fake Conservative crap.

 Someone like myself will never be popular on social media or towards the left or right, cause I'm not locked into either side. People into politics want, need, you to be squarely locked into to a side, if not than you become a liability. In politics, truth doesn't really matter, no one cares about 'truth'...people only care about feeling like they're right in their biases. In politics people simply look for, seek out, others who will reinforce their personal biases. No one wants to be corrected, or see that they're wrong. The longer I live, the harder it is for me to believe there is, was, a God or Savior that would die for any of us. We are all so dirty, some admit it, others pretend they're clean. |

Some only seem to like Democracy when they get their way at the ballot box
Funny and sad how U.S. fights for Democracy in other nations, soldiers die, Marines die, so other nations can vote, have Democracy and share power or ruler ship.
Yet in States, U.S. citizens so divided over electoral voting results, that some chose to tear apart own elected President, demonize own President, allow others to feed own personal biases to the point it turns into hate.
So is this Democracy?...constant crying and complaining and demonizing fairly elected officials or President?
According to Fox News and talk radio hosts it is.
They seem to only like Democracy when they get their way at the ballot box.

Is this the best GOP can do for those who voted them into office? 'Upp, yep, you got me, bad bad me for sending emails'Is this what Republican voters sent GOP law makers to Washington for?, to attack Hillary Clinton over meaningless email crap that effects no one in the real world. Elected millionaires and billionaires fighting over meaningless crap like this simply to create 'got ya' moments.. It's all meaningless to common people out here struggling. We all already know people aren't perfect, that everyone lies, pretends to be more than they are. Instead of GOP doing things to actually change or reverse laws they were sent up there to do, they throw Hillary to the crowd, to their voters, as if to say.. 'Sorry voters, we can't actually do the things we promised we would when running our campaigns, but what we can do is entertain you all with tabloid 'got ya' moments against our political rivals, here, here's some meat'It's all meaningless entertainment folks, that's all politics and politicians have really become. One day maybe a few will wake up and realize they're not the ones who run the nation...but until then continue to throw around your 'liberal this, liberal that' bs, or conservative this, conservative that bs. Life is short, most of us invent our own reality anyways...why not do so in politics.

Remember you come here for common sense, not electoral political rhetoric or ratings driven talk show dribble I watched Police briefing today, and at this point, after hearing suspect claim he wasn't aiming for police, I think it just may of been a typical black on black homicide or genecidal shooting gone wrong. Black males shoot each other all the time, and it's only getting worse, like in hyper self destruct mode or something. Young thug dude is just that, a mindless, soulless thug, not a calculating militant with a cause and purpose. Seems his only purpose that night may have only been to shoot at or kill one of the protesters he had beef with earlier. Nothing is conclusive yet but during briefing it was said this is what they shared. That's just typical Operating methods for inner city males who have no value system and who settle all disputes with guns now. Blacks shoot at blacks all the time, so it's not hard for me to believe that while in moving vehicle (drive by) that he simply missed intended target. But only time will tell, must let play out in court. Whether his target was the cops or other black protesters, he's a mindless killer, and glad he got caught!

I haven't seen the story on this guy yet, but I hear exactly what you are saying. Glad he was caught as well. Now let's see how the JD handles this one.

Issues amongst inner city A-American communities go far beyond which party one votes during election seasonLately I'm hearing amongst talk show hosts like Bill Bennet  and other's, who interview political candidates who suggest that if A-Americans, at least inner city ones, were to vote them into office (Republicans) that some how their lives would get better... BS. The issues that plague many inner city, single parent household A-Americans, has nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with ethics, and casting a vote for a GOP candidate is not going to change anything for someone embracing or lacking healthy ethics or value system. Church does that, not politics. Christianity does that, not politics. Ethics derived from 'religion' does that, not politics. Politics doesn't change any ones life, all voting does, would do, is get politician elected, who would then totally forget about voter once in office. Electoral politics doesn't change any ones personal habits or belief system that got them in bad position to begin with. So it's a campaign speel for anyone to suggest that if the AA community voted Republican that some how conditions would improve in personal life, that some how young women would stop fornicating, that some how gangs would stop forming, drug dealers would magically vanish, prostitution would stop, rappers would stop using degrading lyrics in songs, Fathers would marry their hobbits mothers and raise families together again. A few blacks, or majority blacks voting Republican will not make any of that happen, just as it hasn't happened while voting Democrat. Again the issues that plague inner city A-Americans aren't electoral politics based, rather ethics or lack of ethic based issues. What I don't like about talk radio and Fox News type shows is they present a very dumbed down view of the world, people and communities. Success has nothing to do with whom you vote for, rather success has to do with wanting to succeed. And any person or peoples who wait around for politicians to make their lives better are very dense, and are the ones you see struggling.

Sorry, not your average brain dead 'Hate Obama' type of Conservatism hereAs such regardless of current charges against U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl , I'm still glad they're home and away from capturers.  Soldiers, and future military read and remember this, what I'm about to write. Unlike phony, partisan hack type of Conservatives, who only pretend to have conservative values as long as they get their way at ballot box, a true person of conscious would never abandon you, after you risked life for country and nation, simply cause you had 'mental lapse', and even worse, simply turn on you, not so much cause you're you, but rather to make President look bad. That's gross. As I true non partisan, non BS electoral Conservative/Libertarian (and whatever else), I'd never play politics with your life, never. If you're an American, you're coming home, especially if while serving. These sick minded Fox News zombies are suggesting Sgt Bowe Berghahl be 'shot'... But what if he where their own brother, son, Father, who had mental breakdown? would they still seek that same solution? Humans are sick. death to those they don't agree with, while excusing anything from those they like. The more you back up and examine man, the less likely it makes you want to believe in any type of God. To man, God is simply his own reflection in the mirror.

Pat Buchanan behaving like a ordinary common sense sane Conservative on Hannity's show
I wish more organic, non Fox News, media driven, ratings driven, Conservatives would bust out of the talk radio grip and think independently again, as Pat Buchanan is doing here.
Way to go Pat...

 Sorry but the sentencing of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is not breaking news to me, and is prime example of how the media collectively decides what viewers should watch. As a real person who exists amongst various classes of people, colors, religions, nationalities, not once ever have I ever heard a common person bring up Dzhokhar and or his trial...never! Yet the news media would have you thinking that his trial is front and center on every ones lives, when it is not, other than those directly effected by blast. Truth is no one cares out here in generalville. Why? Cause everyone already knows the guys guilty!...that's why. And common sense people don't need to wait around for months, while system employees Ivy league Lawyers ect to determine what common people already knew from day one. In most countries outside of U.S., as soon as captured he would of been dealt with, gone, hung ect....case close. But in U.S. system must drag cases like this out for years and years and years while feeding the income of those who profit off of such events. No one cares about this case anymore, at least no common people do...not cause they don't feel bad about what happened, but rather cause from day one, as soon as they were caught, seen on video doing the deed, common people knew he was guilty...and common people don't have to wait around for years and years for 'the system' to tell them what they already knew. The sentencing of Dzhokhar is no longer a news worthy story, accept to those directly effected by his deeds. But media will collectively force feed it down every ones throats, again, anyways. |

I will personally destroy the reputation of any GOP or Republican or Democrat candidate who suggests raising the retirement age to 69 or 70. Anyone who suggests that is a political hack, who obviously doesn't work a physically labor type of job. Most people who suggest raising retirement age to 69 or 70 get paid 6 figures usually for admin stuff, salaried stuff, Government office stuff, where they don't, and probably never have, actually labored in the sun for a living doing back breaking work....  It's easy for people who don't work in the sun, and who get paid on salary, to suggest that others who labor hard, who must be in good physical health, to continue to work, slave away, until 69! By that time you're practically dead. How many people are in good health at 69!! Let me find out which Candidate promotes raising retirement age and I will personally destroy their campaign. I mean can people at least not enjoy the few last remaining years of their life in freedom, without slaving away even as a senior and in bad health. Try me... I will destroy your campaign if you think those who labor should do so till age 69 with pain and arthritis. Try me...I will destroy your campaign, cause unlike you, you political hack...I'm out here amongst the real. |
