“THAT ONE!”
“The chocolate one, with sprinkles!”
BRING. IT. TO. ME.
VOTE OR GTFO!
He’s especially sexy when he’s doing his aggressive positivity thing.
YOU! Give me your guns and much of your money. NOW. I must fund and supply my civilian police force!!
“How DARE you not kneel before my divinity?”
@...jascas_: are you talking about the Peace Corps?
Yes sir, I am. Don’t mistake me for a McCain supporter, either – I just take issue with vague and open-ended statements about having a civilian police force (with whatever name he wants to give it) that could be run almost entirely by The Dalai Obama and that can rival that of the US Military.
It’s scary shit, given he wants to “accomplish the national security objectives that [they’ve] set”. Isn’t there enough government butting into the private citizens’ lives without creating a whole new police force on top of the ones we already have?
It’s vague and open ended because it was taken out of the context of a longer speech. The peace corps are unarmed and will remain unarmed.
The theory is that spending money on doing nice things for other countries will make more friends than spending money on killing them and raping their women. THOSE WACKY DUMB-OCRATS WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT
@jascas: “The Dalai Obama” LMFAO!
I understand that his references to the police force (that’s what I’ll call it for conversation’s sake) have been in other contexts, but you can’t just say that something was taken out of context or could’ve been meant as something else when it leaves the door open for something so important as a plan to begin a separate police force that would be run by the President in whole or in majority. That’s a huge thing and I don’t feel like it’s something that should be left open like that, given the gravity of those comments.
I agree completely with the idea of spending money to “nicen-up” our country and others instead of spending it on wars, political objectives, etc etc. I just don’t think that further strengthening our government’s power over the people is going to help that. I think we should stop giving money to countries that hate us and we should begin to give it to countries that need it and like us or we should just keep our own damn money like so many other well-respected countries!
Thanks DasMaus…was trying to think of a way to express how I feel he is being viewed by the ignorants of this country who have bought into his pretty smile and nice suits almost as a religion. As a side note, those that happen to believe in everything he says because they’ve listened and given good, honest, educated thought to him are not in that group – I don’t want anyone to think that I’m calling all or even most of Obama’s constituents ignorant.
@...jascas_: I agree with you on almost all of that except that I feel pretty strongly that most constituents (his as well as McCain’s) are grossly uninformed and vote with their emotions rather than with any intelligence.
@DasMaus: Yeah, I can’t say that I think you’re wrong about that – I believe that if the public at large actually informed themselves (or were able to inform themselves, as a lot of good stuff is made up and a lot of bad stuff is covered up), there would be a drastically different political atmosphere & makeup nowadays. I wish there was a 1-year buffer for the presidency in that we elected a guy and if he didn’t show promise after 365 days, he was out and we held another election. Four years is a long time to elect a guy for just because he’s black or because he’s the next Republican to vote for.
@...jascas_: Shit we’d be having a LOT of elections.
I think you hit the nail on the head with “or were able to inform themselves”. Too many people let someone else tell them how to think, it’s easier and more convenient than doing it oneself.
