Ah, the mythical Obama apology tour. I regret not making "tour" t-shirts to sell to the resident of the bubble.




From the linked author:

“A common theme that runs through President Obama's statements is the idea the United States must atone for its past policies, whether it is America's application of the war against Islamist terrorism or its overall foreign policy. At the core of this message is the concept that the U.S. is a flawed nation that must seek redemption by apologizing for its past "sins."

On several occasions, President Obama has sought to apologize for the actions of his own country when addressing a foreign audience--including seven of the 10 apologies listed below. The President has already apologized for his country to nearly 3 billion people across Europe, the Muslim world, and the Americas.

The Obama Administration's strategy of unconditional engagement with America's enemies combined with a relentless penchant for apology-making is a dangerous recipe for failure. The overall effect of this approach has been to weaken American power on the world stage rather than strengthen it.”

----- >>Here’s number 1 in the list, done in no specific order:

1. Apology to France and Europe ("America Has Shown Arrogance")

Speech by President Obama, Rhenus Sports Arena, Strasbourg, France, April 3, 2009.[1]

“So we must be honest with ourselves. In recent years we've allowed our Alliance to drift. I know that there have been honest disagreements over policy, but we also know that there's something more that has crept into our relationship. In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”

So you think that shows that Obama doesn't like the US or "demeans" it? Interesting. Pretty much says all I need to know about your logic.

"He is a demagogue. Exploiting people's fear and ignorance for his own personal gain." - That's ObamaCare.

You don't know what demagogue means, if Trump was one, then his poll numbers would be higher. You also don't know what personal gain means, because Trump lives in places that make the Whitehouse look like a shoebox.

Yeah, yeah!
Becoming the most powerful person in the entire world DEFINITELY is in no way a "personal gain"... personal gain is SOLELY defined by the luxuriousness of your penthouse.
Sing it, champ!

I don't have a problem with it, so long as it's not an amount grossly larger than what the average person could afford.

A company like Apple giving $5000 is showing support. $1 million? That comes across more as a company buying that candidate. Fortunately, campaign laws still limit the amount corporations can throw at elections.

Even that amount can be unhealthy. The average US citizen can't afford to give that, but Comcast and AT&T do all the time and get favored over ordinary citizens all the time. And now that there are Super PACs isn't it even more opaque with individuals?
 
Seriously? You believe HC did that? I never liked HC, but I not stupid enough to drink the Fox News cool aid on this as you have.
I don't watch fox news, so I have no idea. But someone stopped the response and it was either HC or Obama. What we have here is Obama not prosecuting Clinton for Benghazi and Clinton agreeing not to prosecute Obama for his many law breaking activities. ITs time to stop politicians that think they are above the law.

well except for what came out of his mouth of course but since that changes from minute to minute. as far as the judge thing it also become muslim judges and women judges.

The people you responded do didn't refer to or imply race. Of course there's always steve knight, but he's an exception in that regard (still can't figure him out).




Again you're focused on race when others have given indications why they dislike Trump, having nothing to do with whether they're White.



You made it about their race and religion as if Jewish Americans and White Christian Americans are each singular entities. Generally I don't claim the accomplishments of others simply because we share some common ethnicity.



It's the same pattern over and over.







I guess this one could have referred strictly to Judaism rather than the race.




Infowars tends to abuse statistics.




It takes a considerable amount of time to go through these silly infographics. They're usually poorly cited, referring to long documents without indication of what section they are pointing to. The infowars one in particular is quite misleading. They use the largest percentages possible so that it sounds like a racial attribute. They don't cite the raw numbers per 100,000 people in their sample population as that would indicate that these crimes are ultimately carried out by a small subset of the overall population, even when restricted to a single race.



The people you responded (with the possible exception of steve knight if he's in there) don't seem to have a problem with White people. White people are individuals, just like people of any other race.

You don't seem to have much recent, real-world life experience.

You talk like such an idealist it comes across as foolish. Its like I said before Political Correctness = intellectual dishonesty.

People like you don't see cause and effect, only self righteousness. You have a relationship with your own ego and you have no sense of reality and solution based thinking.

For example, that video I posted about the snake and the mental condition behind people who encourage us to keep letting immigrants overrun the nations.

Can you deny thats how muslims see us? (Which is the main thesis of the simple snake analogy) The fact our parasitic enemies not just hate us but openly admit they want to destroy us and the west. Like coming from the mouth of the beast, not hiding it. Just obvious in plain view: we would kill you if we get the chance.

Not all immigrants are terrorists, but all muslim terrorists are muslim. And a majority of muslims are brainwashed to hate Americans (which is easy to do) And all we can control is knowing who is muslim or not, we can't control who is the terrorists. Logistics of reality tell us we have only two main options.

One option is to allow all Muslims in and hope we find the bad apples manually (like now). The other option is to filter most of them out and make sure none of the bad apples get through.

One solution leads to destruction, one to safety.

So, saying "not all immigrants are terrorists" is not a solution. Its a roadblock that prevents safety. Its simply a logistical problem that leads to destruction. Essentially you're saying we cant protect ourselves because it could lead to offending someone.

So what is more important. Protecting your people in your civilization? Or being correct about this "problem"

Do you understand the difference between logistical effectiveness and theoretical correctness?

In other words: when you do x... y will happen. Do we want Y, the final result to happen?

As opposed to: x is correct to do, I will do x, even knowing y will actually happen? (or not even thinking that far.)

Like I said before, the solutions to these problems are somewhere in the realm of "having to do something a little extreme" for the good of the nation (profiling by ethnic background). Thats the logistical reality and what we need for peace and safety.

Weather or not that comes across as vaguely allegorical to what Hitler or the KKK did should not factor in. A solution is a solution. (in b4 "final solution' joke)

We should do what is right, not what is "correct"

Im not sure someone with the mentally ill liberal type genetics can comprehend such a concept: that actions have real life consequences. People like that are not fit to be leaders.

If you tell me we should do what is correct, not what is best for our country, and willingly let us be destroyed, I would not want you as my leader, and I would hope the rest of the country agrees that we shouldn't let ourselves be destroyed.

All the solutions to our current chaos involve some extreme measures, thats why its ok that Trump threatens to be a little extreme, we need some extreme solutions because the USA is extremely ****** up.

"No Taxation Without Representation." A corporation is a taxpayer even if not a citizen.
That in no way gives anyone, be it a private citizen or a private company the right to buy political power. That is single handedly the thing destroying our form of government and it is the reason we are stuck choosing between Trump and Clinton as our presidential options.

We owe them money. Now we build the wall. Bill them for their part of it.

Now we owe them less money?

I dunno lol.

But it's happening...


"I dunno lol."? Wow, talk about a low information voter.

Mexican citizens and their government own about $28 billion in T-bills. Tell me again how we're going to build a wall and take those t-bills away from them. While you're at it, how will you explain that to the hundreds of countries and millions of foreigners who hold t-bills?

Trump will never be President.
We are not building a ****ing stupid wall.

Please list links to proof that either BO or HC "stopped the response" as you put it. There has been about 9 different investigations into Benghazi to date.... Do you really think if the GOP had something to nail either one with, it wouldn't have been done by now?

On and please list BO's "law breaking activities" with the actual laws broken.

I'll wait.

Indeed. Trump thinks that because he's often been able to negotiate pennies on the dollar on his debt and/or refused to pay contractors and others and had some cases dismissed that he can do that with the United States.

Let me state this clearly (not for you). A private citizen or company is NOT a country. But you know - he consults with himself - so there's really no one to argue with him.

One of the many amusing things recently is the fact that he clearly does not understand twitter at all. He was asked if he regrets anything he's posted on his account. And his reply was that what he posts isn't the problem - it's that people retweet his posts.

You don't have to be social savvy to be President. But it's not very presidential to always blame other people for simply quoting what you said. Also - the fact that he's clearly against the 1st amendment.
 
Ah yes the clowns are here.

Classic technique, make jokes about a concept to trivialize it and throw people off the trail...

Meanwhile, in Israel lol:



You realize those are 'black Jews' as Israelis call them. Not a true representations of all Jews. It's like using catholics as representatives of all Christians.

Not judging by your posts ITT, you are one of the most irate and emotional here.

Yes you have a hateful agenda.
LOL...keep on swimming, keep on swimming. There isn't any hate at all in my post. I think your obsession over Trump is rather funny actually...although sad at the same time.

You are not a self aware enough person to see it from other perspectives though.

Oh the irony. Where have you tried to see it from anyone else's perspective? I see no evidence of this in your post. Epically with things like this which make you look "out there" to say the least! A painting? Really? LOL

Im sick of all this and I cant wait to see Trump make America great!

Theres no stopping that train!

Trump fired his campaign manager. You don't do that when things are going well. The wheels are coming OFF the train. :D
