Conservative Atheism

RE: Conservative Atheism

Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet."

Business especially small ones are what enables the country to grow.  He has it ass backwards, the government does not provide for businesses, business provide for the government. 
He didn't get a single jot of that backwards....who told you otherwise?  It seems as though you're exactly the sort of person he was referring to, who takes every bit of the infrastructure and history and demographics of this country for granted.  There is no one and no group in this country that sucks at the government teat harder and longer than american business. From the small to the biggest.

Quote:Every time someone mentions tax cuts, liberals scream that it only effects the rich.  Truth is the very rich don't pay a lot of taxes, they use legal means to make their money non taxable.  if they can pay someone $5.00 to legally shelter $20 they do it.  10% means very little to them.  But it does men something to small business owners, allowing them to keep more of their money will often cause the business to grow.  The more your business grows the more money you make in the same amount of time.
Good thing Obama..and literally every american politcian is super business friendly, even if they do want to tax the living piss out of the rich..who, apparently wouldn't miss it anyway?  Good to know, because we could really use a slice of the money they've grifted off our infrastructure.

Quote: There are plenty of instances where Obama not only made us look weak but undermined US foreign goals.  Setting a time table for troop removal, leaving a power vacuum causing the rise of Isis, the Iran treaty.
OH, IDK, we pulled back the people and then Drone Warlord Obama went full Skynet on their ass, so......?

Quote:As for immigration.  It is true that Obama deported a large number of illegals.  I am the first to say good job, I wish he had done more to enforce immigration law.  Illegal immigration has been on a steady decline sense 2008 (probably bad economy)  According to the US customs and border protection illegal immigration dropped 40% in Jan and Feb of 2017 March of 17 was the lowest apprehension month in 17 years..  In April of 2016 illegal immigration was up 40% (same source).  Obama allowed sanctuary cities, and did not enforce existing immigration law as he should have.  I would be willing to bet that Pres Trump will have a much higher tally of deportations than Obama.  I see the necessity of allowing immigration of political/religious refugees.  As a whole we should pick and choose who we let immigrate to the US, why should we allow someone in if they are going to become a burden on society?  
More, you think he should have done more, than the more than any other president that he did?  I'm guessing Trump will lose again, stat v stat vs Obama. 

A, no ones going to fund his ethnic cleansing.  
B, he wont serve for 8 years.

In any case, I understand where the comment came from now, at least, you've somehow attributed immigration stats to the savior of our race.  Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
