There's no dictator he thinks he can't topple with his charisma.So I keep hearing but nobody seems to be able to provide examples. When did he "appease" Russia, Iran or China or any Muslim extremists? It's like his fictitious "apology tour". No conservative can say when or where it happened or what Obama said exactly but they all swear it happened and they're outraged, OUTRAGED I tells ya, about it.
Quote:He's so fixated on the "evil" white man he thinks his mere presence on the world stage will solve all conflicts.When has he called "the white man" evil? What has he done that tells you he regards white people (or at least white males) as "evil"? Can you cite any specific examples?
Usually conservatives answer, "well, you know, it's his uh tone, yeah, his tone and stuff". I hope you can do better.
Quote:The problem is there is no centre.Sure there is. In my country, we call them "Democrats".
Quote:But it's far deeper than that. Race divisions are hardening,What makes you think so?
Quote:The economy is wrecked primarily by free trade, supported by both parties. So long as there is a huge trade deficit with China, the jobs and wealth won't come back.I won't argue there. We have no advocate for working people. You know who does advocate for working people? We call them "liberals" here in America.
Quote:Meanwhile the clock ticks, as China is furiously beavering up their military might. It's only a matter of time before they kick the USA out of Asia, and my country Australia falls. And then China will be on your doorstep too. We're all f*cked.I hope not but I suspect that our fall will be more economic than military. I don't see China swinging that far south even with an aggressive military campaign.
We do need a shift in our political discourse, one that emphasizes facts, reason and most of all, accountability. We need to stop diffusing blame by musing about "both sides" and "Washington in general" (or Sydney, depending on what country your in). Destructive or delusional political ideologies need to be called out.
We see the same lack of willingness to hold religion accountable. Islam is never to blame for the acts of Islamic extremists. The problem is that radicals are the ones who practice the teachings of their respective religion in its purest form. Show me your radicals and I'll show you what your religion teaches.
