said: "Fortunately, the US military never accepted Obama as Commander in Chief, and so ignored him when he said ’Please don’t hurt my BFF Osama.’ "On that logic, the military also did not accept GWB when he said “Kill Osama”.-——-But I actually think you may be a rare American gifted with a sense of irony, as shown in your last sentence. What does it matter, they’re foreigners anyway, even the babies.
The attacks to which you refer applies to the Jackbooted Big Brother. A person soft on terror wouldn’t be using such resources to kill those he wishes to ‘protect’. Also, Big Brother, the tyranical gov’t portrayed in G. Orwell’s 1984, was fighting against pronouns. The enemy was “Them”, and “They”. And if you look at the number of Americans killed by firearms, work place accidents, and suicide caused by a lack of mental health care, you will see that many Americans also don’t care when US citizens die. However, cause them to have to pay more money for something and you’ll see them get very upset.You ask a valid question, Lichten. I wish I had rational answer.Respectfully,C.
there are real Obama Haters. There are those that never gave him a chance; McConnell who schemed to make him fail before he even took office.The whole GOP decided to trash the USA economy, stagnate jobs, but telling their cronies not to hire, To put politics over the good of the people, those who are even now in blue states that are controlled by local GOP to gerrymander districts to make it impossible for a Democrat to win, just like the house did in the last election. Quite a few more Democratic votes were cast, but were gerrymandered in such a way the GOP got it instead. (which is against an amendment to the constitution). I used to think the USA was al about fair-play. Not amongst the GOP.
Harley, facts please. I believe there were several State Dept employees killed since Carter. And don’t forget the Marines killed in Beirut under Reagan!
The dialectic is ancient. Problem – Reaction – Solution. The softer you are on terrorism (or fund it through the CIA), the more state control you can justify. Both Dems and Reps and governments around the world have done it for quite a long time. There is no contradiction.

Why choose? Your audience has never asked for logic or consistency yet.

Actually they don’t have to choose, since both views are wrong. They could at Least give him the benefit of a doubt.
