Republicans Republicans chances of winning Senate majority continue to brighten

Oh come on, it ain't that bad. Finally get to put the kibash on the socialist agenda and Islamic terrorist is no longer a dirty word

 

Well maybe we will see some progressive righties as soon as we can get Obama out in 2 years. He's like Donald Sterling now, doesn't matter if he figures out how to cure cancer no one is going to work with him. This entire election was about him even though it wasn't.

But Mancha got it, I feel fine...

 

Yes, Obama has to do what is necessary. A president can't always afford to be an ideologue. I believe what Shane is referring to is the larger wave of Liberal sentiment that says that you can't tie terrorism to Islam. To do so attacks the religion as a whole and all of the innocent, faithful, peaceful people in it. So now ISIS or Al Qaeda or whoever are now Terrorists, not Islamic Terrorists.

This debate has played out over radio, tv, and internet. Now, in all liberal arguments, one is either wrong and vilified or right and glorified. Example, Bill Maher got excommunicated from Liberalism and now the "bigot" faces being dropped from UC Berkley Commencement speech in December while Ben Affleck has reached a higher level of Liberal Consciousness.

 

I'm glad some of us are able to think past the end of their noses

 

Not sure what you're reading but she has very little chance of winning.

 

Perhaps I spoke too soon on that. Just trying to cheer a guy up.

 

You are being disingenuous. That video contains lots of references to not using the word "terror", none of them dated. All the references with the President are from the first 16 months of his administration in 2009 and 2010. He sure sounded confident and forceful, didn't he? Lol. The truth is that after he gained office, he immediately shifted the verbiage regarding terror, Islam, and the Middle East and that included written documents.

"Obama advisers who are rewriting a document spelling out the country's national security strategy plan to leave out references to "Islamic radicalism," counterterrorism officials said."

"The change is a significant shift in the National Security Strategy, a document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventative war and currently states: "The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century."

"That shift away from terrorism has been building for a year, since Obama went to Cairo, Egypt, and promised a "new beginning" in the relationship between the United States and the Muslim world. The White House believes the previous administration based that relationship entirely on fighting terror and winning the war of ideas."

And where are we today? Terrorism and islamic extremism is STILL the lense we see Muslim countries through. It matters little that only a relative handful of the populace actually commits terror. The millions of others who stand by and don't take up arms to quell their violent murdering ways is all the US needs to know. The great men and women of this country have always been willing to fight and die for the cause of freedom. Quiet muslims will not. Obama gave a nice effort to change the rhetoric, make nice, send lots of money their direction, even called isis the JV team in January. How's that working out?
