The Conservative Who Cried "Wolf!"

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.

RE: The Conservative Who Cried "Wolf!"
Why are we only catching the Republicunts on the things they've been wrong about since Obama took office? They've been consistantly wrong far longer than that. Remember when they were claiming Bush would improve the economy when he took office in 2000? Remember when Clinton was criticized for gas prices going up to about $1.50 a gallon? Remember when blowjobs were considered an important enough political issue that we switched political parties in the white house? And remember all those weapons of mass destruction Dubya told us Iraq had? And remember how the economy couldn't possibly recover from Bushes recession while Obama was in office?

On every single one of those issues, the Republicans were dead wrong. I honestly can't think of any issue they've been right about as long as I've been alive. Hell, Bush was so bad that most Republicans are claiming he isn't a 'real' Republican. But those words always seem to come out of the mouth of politicians and pundits who agreed with all of his policies.

Seriously, voters, why are your memories so damn short? Is it really that difficult to remember 8, 12 or 16 years ago and compare the state of the nation then to what we have now?

Somehow we have gone from The Boy Who Cried Wolf to Chicken Little.

China has plenty of its own problems.

Jesus f*cking christ, I'm all the way over here in Australia, and I know these 2 are real scandals.

Start with Benghazi, the Obama f*ckwits left 4 Americans for dead all because Captain Stupid (i.e. Obama) lives in the fantasy world where he thinks that bombing Gaddafi out of the way would instantly turn all Muslims into American friends. Who the f*ck is that stupid? Really? Is anyone you know that f*cking stupid?? Obama is a first-class f*cking moron.

If you want to say 'fucking', just say 'fucking'.

Have you overdosed on Alex Jones recently? What possible reason should China have to invade anybody? Corporatists cream their pants all over the world over cheap labor and absent regulations and the dollars keep rolling into China's economy. War is bad for business.

Seems to me you're also a fan of your fellow Australian Murdoch and his media, since you also claimed Bengazi and the IRS to be a scandal. It's a Fox/Republicunt PR stunt, and I'm saying that from a European prospective, having watched and read numerous different news channels.

Because the list would be too long.

As it is, I know there are plenty of things I missed.

But I do agree with you.

You're probably right. I still wish the voters would remember their routine fuck ups when elections come up.

Sheesh, none of them apparently remembered Oct 2013 when the GOP nearly demolished our entire economy as a political stunt. I mean, that was a whole solid year ago which is ancient history to American voters, who seem to have the attention span of a cat chasing a laser dot.

And so many Republicans openly said, "Hey, let's do it again. Voters didn't hold us accountable last time" really says a lot about where their loyalties lie and how much they give a shit about this country.

What voters need to remember is to get off the fucking asses and vote.

First things first.
