obama to Address the Nation Tomorrow...

Yaaaaay. [s]

He's either going to announce an executive order on gun control or he's going to defend muslims.

He absolutely will NOT use the words radical muslim terrorists, nor will he use the words terrorists. Today he begrudgingly said it was an "act of terror," but he did not call the couple terrorists.

Anyone besides JD and Fiona going to watch this blowhard talk?

I won't. I'll see it on the news enough without having to watch it live.

Good! The more he talks the more credibility he loses and the more people realize that the Democrats are WEAK on terrorism.

Strength and weakness in regard to 'terrorism' are determined by action, not tough talk and empty rhetoric. That being said, in what way have the Republicans shown themselves particularly 'strong on terrorism'?

I mean, actual facts, actual actions, that have proven effective, as opposed to either mere talk, or flushing our freedoms down the toilet in the name of 'security' (which is exactly what terrorism is designed to do, and which is it's short and medium range goals)?

The last GOP president took the fight to the terrorists and we had zero incidents following. This president has worked hard to "lead from behind", remove our military presence from the Middle East that created the power vacuum for ISIS, made cuts to downsize our military, cut back on our intelligence, won't call terrorism for what it is, etc. There's a palpable difference.

The real vacuum was created when FDR insisted on the break-up of the British Empire.

Or when Solomon made an alliance with the King of Egyot by marrying his daughter...

Wow, you really do live in fantasy land.

I believe it was under Reagan that OBL got hired to create AlQaeda ('Afghan Freedom Fighters') back in the 80s.

Everything follows from that.

Oh wait, under the Shrub, we liberated the previously destroyed opium fields, so that Afghan farmers could safely grow opium without Taliban interference. Opium is the source ingredient from which heroin is made, right? And the heroin trade, which has been dominated by the Afghan opium supply ever since we made sure of that, is one of the primary finance sources of da tewowisses.

Oh, wait a minute, wasn't there some kind of financial connection between the Shrub family and the bin Laden family? Yeah, there is THAT, but...

Don't get me wrong, the demoncrats are bad news on a bad day. But the GOP is nothing different.

Let's see, the GOP controlled administration put into place all the freedom-stomping procedures and rules we have now, in response to terrorism (9-11). They hate us for our freedoms, so let's get rid of the freedoms and the terrorists will be stopped, right?

And the current administration is simply using the tools given it by the previous GOP administration. And if there is a next GOP administration, it will use whatever tools are given it by the current Democrat administration.

You need to take the red pill.

What part of the part wasn't true and what part was true?

Do you ever explain anything without blowing a red, white, and blue vein?
