I don't think occupied Palestinians have life insurance policies handed out to their families when they die in their own land - I would assume that an Israeli soldier's family gets some sort of compensation when they die in this endless conflict which was not brought about by either this generation of either side but brought about by the Great Powers who each promised 2 people the same land.
That is for sure. The Brits were masters of this. Frankly I can't find any former colony of theirs that has not suffered from that strategy.
I think it has more to do with Jew hatred and an attempt to build an unhealthy self destructive relationship with our enemies. - - - Updated - - - I'm pretty sure Obama wants Isis, Iran, Hamas and the talban to see they are on the same side.
I would be happy if this President could be on time for his " scheduled" speeches and press conferences. He could start showing the basics in common courtesy . Say what you will about either of the Bushes, both of them knew that they were temporary custodians of the Oval Office and understood and respected the Office of the Presidency.
I know what you mean. I was at a counter-demonstration in Washington against the ANSWER Coalition back in 2007 and while all our people were assembled on schedule the ANSWERniks showed up a whopping 2 1/2 hours late. We were are all standing around laughing about why anyone would want to listen to a bunch of fools about something as important our military operations overseas when they can't even do something as simple as getting a march that they had planned months in advance started on time. It's bad form and it makes you look incompetent - two things that serious people always avoid.
That is for sure. After watching this inept liar hand over 5 terrorists for a deserter, it is obvious what side Obama is on The worst part is, the lemming left that voted for him twice will continue to give him a pass no matter what he does to harm our country. Obama and Jim Jones have a lot in common
I am not going to paint Obama in the terrorists' corner. That is unfair to him and I don't think that is at all the case. He doesn't know what he's doing most of the time, but I do not believe Obama deliberately sides with the forces of evil. I voted for Obama both times and while I have been majorly disappointed with his second term, especially, I don't think he is a bad guy or deliberately aiding and abetting the enemy as some on the right want to claim. I have no doubt he loves his country, I just don't think he knows what he's doing.

I see. So you simply don't like the taste of my koolaid. Okay, but phone pretenses like partisanship are SOP for politicians. Or haven't you followed the republican primary process in the last few presidential elections? the age of the nation and its party politics has nothing to do with the inability of many partisans to grasp the concept of "cause and effect", as you seem insistent on demonstrating. Your strawman is showing. Interesting how your notion of personal responsibility in politics begins and ends with Obama and his supporters.
What a joke, when Bush said that, he was referring to nations that harbor terrorists. As far as your attempt to compare Obama divisive remarks to Bush, your links were all about his policies and not something divisive
Oh look, divisive policies and actions by republicans aren't nearly as divisive as misrepresentations of Obama's words. Seems kosher.
No you couldn't come up with reasonable response. I'm surprised you didn't mention the hateful comments from liberals when he spoke at the funeral of senator Wellstone. That should have been really divisive to you
I did come up with a reasonable response. And then you responded, by making it clear that in your opinion words(especially partisan misrepresentations of same) are more divisive and actions and policies. As for the rest of your deflection: Guess you missed Obama praising Hatch and Cotton and republican governors and even the GOP congress (vet affairs). I'm surprised those subjects of such evil approbation weren't branded "traitors and muslim sympathizers" by you and your partisan pals. See how stupid, petty and meaningless such a response is?
IMO he should've done it 55% and not done it 45%. That would've been a common sense and reasonable solution.
"Ally"? Really? This 'ally' of yours has spied on you (Jonathan Pollard), stolen your military secrets to sell on to China; their leader, Netanyahu, has publicly mocked America as an easily manipulated pushover, and you still think those leeches are allies? http://www.newsweek.com/israel-wont-stop-spying-us-249757
Are you anti-American when you bash Obama...see what I did there? You can criticise an inept leadership and a belligerent idiot without that being translated into hatred for an entire nation. Surely that isn't hard to grasp.
Except, you used the terminology, "...your ally..." which denotes the nation. Surely, that isn't hard to grasp.
Yeah, I saw what you did there. You engaged in this leftist hive mind we've heard so much about, having answered for the motivations of another poster. In so doing, you attempted to equate someone else's leader with your own, and ignored the context of the action and motivation. That isn't hard to grasp, surely? - - - Updated - - - And this. +2
You came up with total crap Jonsa, below are the poll numbers, you lose http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/e...ost-polarizing-president-ever/article/2542804 Evidence continues to mount that President Obama's legacy when he leaves office in 2017 will be best captured by the phrase “Great Divider.” For his fifth year in the Oval Office, Obama's “partisan gap” - the difference in the two major parties' approval rating of a president - is 71 points, as measured by Gallup. That nearly ties Obama with President George W. Bush's 72-point gap in his fifth year in office. http://conservativetribune.com/obama-divisive-president/ Obama's Fourth Year in Office Ties as Most Polarized Ever http://www.gallup.com/poll/160097/obama-fourth-year-office-ties-polarized-ever.aspx Obama ‘Most Divisive President In History’ And ‘Does Not Like Being President’ http://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news...in-history-and-does-not-like-being-president/
I didn't come up with total crap. You demanded I provide evidence of my claim of the divisiveness of Bush and I did. But never mind, the crap you came up with demonstrates that you and yours have a very hard time understanding the use of the superlative. I find it rather odd that this measure of divisiveness is dependent to a large degree on how effective one party's propaganda and bumperstickers are in polarizing their constituency. Once again, it seems cause and effect are completely ignored by partisan hacks. Fact remains that Republicans from day one stated this was the strategy to make him a one term president - and they executed vociferously, but alas it didn't work out as they intended. of course the tea party came to Washington all full of wanting to cooperate and compromise in order to "take back their country" and repeal everything the Obama administration accomplished. this gallup measurement has its place, and there is no doubt that it shows the extent of the partisan gap. Of course, just like every other president in assessing this polarization metric, it is as much a testament to partisan propaganda as it is presidential actions and policies. Of course given the diametrically opposed political perspectives, a partisan could make the argument that Obama must be doing a great job because he is pissing off so many republicans.
