Obama Bombs

Ok, then let's talk about Obama bombs.

Obama is bombing and I absolutely hate those fucking drones. As a US citizen, I'm partially responsible for the civilian deaths caused by presidential orders. I voted for Obama in 2008 and again in 2012 knowing that Obama was going to continue to kill civilians in his ordered drone strikes. I guess I can move to Canada to clear my conscience but I'm not ready to become a hockey fan just yet.

My question to you was rhetorical in that back in 2012, there were a lot of other issues, not just the drone-inflicted civilian casualties in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Did I think Romney was some sort of pacifist who would shut off those strikes? Hell no, so the issue was a wash for me. The depredations by Republicans between 2000 and 2008, one action of which is the root cause of those drone strikes led me to choose a man who has been doing a lot of other really good things for this country. Also, the harm to it that a committed "trickle down" establishment Republican was promising to do to the people and economy of the US was a factor.

Today, Trump is talking about bringing back and exceeding the torture that Bush advocated. He's talking about carpet bombing areas of northern Iraq as though it is populated by raving hordes of anti american extremist semi-humans and targeting families of ISIS fighters. So, again, the choice of Hillary is not one that I prefer but I'll push the lever for her over that raving lunatic.
Frankly, getting carpet bombed might be preferable to regular drone strikes. At least you know when to hide once it starts. Having to have my kids out playing when silent death could drop on them at any time might piss me off even more. For me, it is a big problem is that TRUMP! is willing to commit a war of extinction when it would do nothing but make the problem worse - but it would support his polling numbers. Then, when if does get worse, he will need to ask for extraordinary powers back home to keep us all safe.

You cannot bomb an idea out of existence.

Gotcha.

Once again, I am not talking about elections or candidates. Just the fact that so many people (myself included) were sick of what was going on under Bush and now have been continued under Obama. Somehow a blind eye has been turned to what Obama is doing after all the criticism received by Bush. WE should be giving Obama just as much shit about this warmonger bullshit as WE gave to Bush.

Bombing children's hospitals by our government has to stop.
Are you suffering from dementia or something? Bush is directly responsible for the death of over a million civilians in Iraq. Not to mention torture and thousands of body bags containing US soldiers. Obama's hands are not clean but dude, you have a problem with perspective.

umm, carpet bombing is worse. But I hope we don't go down that rabbit hole.

If you are black, you BETTER VOTE FOR OBAMA!
Well, as someone who grew up in a predominately black neighborhood, in a predominately black city, in predominately black schools, and now work in predominately black neighborhoods, I can concur. Racism is alive and well. A lot of people just simply dont like white people.
I have had a gun pulled on me 3 times. Of course, I live in a majority black area so guns being pulled on people is common.
there were never a bunch of white dudes running around the jungles of Africa capturing slaves with nets.
There are problems in the black communities that cannot be blamed on anyone but those living in the black communities. It is a problem that cannot be fixed because any time you begin to address some of the real issues, racism becomes too much of an easy out to avoid the real problems.
IMO this is the NUMBER 1 problem in the poor black communities. None of the problems can even be addressed because of the political correctness.
Unlike most of the people on this site, I grew up in an all black neighborhood, went to an all black school, and live in a 70% black city. I have experienced 'reverse' racism almost every day of my life.
A friend of mine who lives in Baltimore went to a CVS. All they had left was condoms, suntan lotion, and Father's Day cards.

Uh huh. I did not think I had really incensed him with my vulgarity.

Where do these people come from? I was pretty surprised and disappointed about the weed growing community - I figured they were more progressive than this community really is.
If it makes you feel any better, you disappoint the hell out of us as well!!

Where are all the "I hate Bush people" at now?

When it is Obama dropping the bombs, they have some dumb ass excuses why it is ok...

HYPOCRITES.

The U.S. Government is made up of warmongers on both sides of the aisle. Only difference is the hypocrites who make up excuses for Obama. Obama is worse than Bush and Cheney combined. He LOVES war and LOVES being responsible for killing thousands upon thousands of people.
Lol. Obama would win a 3rd time...easy!

Bush left at 23% approval.

Not sure what you are trying to say, other than the FACT you are a 100% pure racist that has absolutely no contact at all with any black people.


2 questions WKI...

When was the last time you were inside the house owned by a black person that you were not working at?

When was the last time a black person came into your house that wasnt doing some type of work?

I already know the answers, you have never been in a black persons house on a social visit and you have never allowed a black person in your house for a social visit. You are a racist true and true.

I love when morons try to lump me into a republican category, shows just how uninformed and silly they are.
I think both parties are full of shit. It is unfortunate that others are so stupid and blind they cant see the truth.

The Republicans are going with a bigger tent these days - it includes fascists if that helps.
