The Moral Equivalency President

[PoliticalChic]

5. During the celebration of the lives of five hero Policemen of Dallas.....

...the reprobate President used the occasion to find justification for the killer.


And I quote Obama:

"We’re here to honor the memory, and mourn the loss, of five fellow Americans...."


Then he began to get into his real theme...


"..... they were assigned to protect and keep orderly a peaceful protest in response to the killing of Alton Sterling of Baton Rouge and Philando Castile of Minnesota. They were upholding the constitutional rights of this country.


Not "death"....but "killing" ...as if adjudicated as such already...



".....centuries of racial discrimination -- of slavery, and subjugation, and Jim Crow -- they didn’t simply vanish with the end of lawful segregation. They didn’t just stop when Dr. King made a speech, or the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act were signed."


"...we know -- but, America, we know that bias remains. We know it."


(Yet, 65,915,796 voted for him. What a slap in their faces.)




Did the words above belong in an eulogy supposedly honoring the five assassinations???




Or....can we detect an ulterior motive in this President?

Of course I don't mean Liberals....their personal constitution forbids them from ever connecting the dots.

 

[AntonToo]

My response....very much like moi......is perfect.

It identified both of your character flaws.

Stay off the drugs lady.

The Obama Doctrine is the very opposite of this:

You are insane. His "doctrine" has consistently been very standard nuclear nonproliferation.

Soooo.....you not just stupid.....you're a liar as well???


What a surprise.


Best part....everyone knows you're lying.

Do you have any evidence that Iran has such a "bomb"?

In the future, try to use words with precision, as I do.

 

[IcebergSlim]

Your "job"?

Do elaborate!

Revealing truth.

Clearly that is the case, as you have been unable to find anything in the OP that isn't true.....


No need to explain you 'job,'....it is obvious.

There's this....

"We have the "no-ability-to-judge-reality" President.

Unfortunately, the damage he does is more than matched by a "no-ability-to-judge-reality" Democrat/Liberal electorate."


Which is complete bs....

To what "damage" are you referring?

Race relations.


You should get out more, pick up a paper once in a while.

So the inability of a dismaying percentage of Americans to accept the idea of a black POTUS (one unambiguously outperforming his Caucasian predecessor), is whose fault, exactly?

"....inability of a dismaying percentage of Americans to accept the idea of a black POTUS...:

Very weak try to switch the truth to this hoary old DNC bumper-sticker.


I'd be happy to give you a hundred reasons why Obama is an unmitigated failure....very much like you.

Say the word...and stop your slander of Americans.

I'm guessing that what you can do is regurgitate a tsunami of pablum you've been told to think by Idiotsphere media...

Are you actually insisting that there isn't a streak of racism in the opposition to Obama?

Surely you wouldn't deny that Obama has proven superior to his predecessor......right?

Now...is there some Liberal gene that prevented you from using the link I provided?

'Fraid it may destroy your current worldview....before the DNC orders some new one?

 

[PoliticalChic]

6. And, more of the speech that didn't belong, and wasn't appropriate to the occasion:



"....some suffer far more under racism’s burden, some feel to a far greater extent discrimination’s sting. Although most of us do our best to guard against it and teach our children better, none of us is entirely innocent. No institution is entirely immune. And that includes our police departments."


"....unequal treatment; when study after study shows that whites and people of color experience the criminal justice system differently, so that if you’re black you’re more likely to be pulled over or searched or arrested, more likely to get longer sentences, more likely to get the death penalty for the same crime; when mothers and fathers raise their kids right and have “the talk” about how to respond if stopped by a police officer -- “yes, sir,” “no, sir” -- but still fear that something terrible may happen when their child walks out the door,...."


"....all this takes place more than 50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, we cannot simply turn away and dismiss those in peaceful protest as troublemakers or paranoid. (Applause.) We can’t simply dismiss it as a symptom of political correctness or reverse racism. To have your experience denied like that, dismissed by those in authority, dismissed perhaps even by your white friends and coworkers and fellow church members again and again and again -- it hurts."


" As a society, we choose to underinvest in decent schools. We allow poverty to fester so that entire neighborhoods offer no prospect for gainful employment. (Applause.) We refuse to fund drug treatment and mental health programs. (Applause.) We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book -"



Sounds like he was playing to Micah Johnson...who....if Obama had a son....

...you know the rest.

This thread provided a serious question as to the motives of the man you mistakenly chose as President.

I provide his own words.....about which you haven't given an opinion.....and all you Leftists can do is prove that you are our greatest source of greenhouse gases.


This was the latest post in the thread, which you also ignored:

"....some suffer far more under racism’s burden, some feel to a far greater extent discrimination’s sting. Although most of us do our best to guard against it and teach our children better, none of us is entirely innocent. No institution is entirely immune. And that includes our police departments."

Now...focus like a laser:

What effect is he trying to provoke?

I just wanted to prove that you had no ability to think, analyze, nor conclude.


I know it wasn't necessary....but it is my guilty pleasure.

 

[PoliticalChic]

FDR was the greatest President in modern history

<since all PC threads eventually end up there, I thought I would get the ball rolling early>

And yet another dunce who is afraid to confront the clear and obvious demagoguery of Barack Hussein Obama (peace by on him.)

 

[PoliticalChic]

7. And, more of the speech that didn't belong, wasn't appropriate to the occasion.....perhaps inappropriate to any occasion....

.......Obama goes on with his attempt to foment division:


"But even those who dislike the phrase “Black Lives Matter,” surely we should be able to hear the pain of Alton Sterling’s family. (Applause.) We should -- when we hear a friend describe him by saying that “Whatever he cooked, he cooked enough for everybody,” that should sound familiar to us, that maybe he wasn’t so different than us, so that we can, yes, insist that his life matters. Just as we should hear the students and coworkers describe their affection for Philando Castile as a gentle soul -- “Mr. Rogers with dreadlocks,” they called him -- and know that his life mattered to a whole lot of people of all races, of all ages, and that we have to do what we can, without putting officers' lives at risk, but do better to prevent another life like his from being lost."



And....

"With an open heart, we can worry less about which side has been wronged,..."

WHAT????

Clearly an attempt to put his thumb on the scale of rectitude.




".... ensure no one is above the law..."

Know who he is indicting here????

Imagine....hinting that the police behave illegally at a ceremony eulogizing five assassinated policemen.
How disgusting.




Ask yourselves whether race relations have improved or devolved under this administration.



Now ask yourself whether Obama wanted race relations to improve.

 

[TooTall]

I'm doing my job....you do yours.

Your "job"?

Race relations.


You should get out more, pick up a paper once in a while.

Race relations? As in trying to claim that Trayvon Martin deserved to be shot down in cold blood because he might have done some drugs?

Trayvon was shot because he was on top of Zimmerman and beating Zimmerman's head against the sidewalk.

Lawrence Wilkerson is a contradictory figure.

Wilkerson is a career military man, who served as chief of staff for Secretary of State Colin Powell; but he has also voiced reluctance to involve American forces in foreign conflicts, and slammed the Bush administration for its handling of the Iraq War. He is also a lifelong Republican who, far from just criticizing his party, has actually gone on the warpath against it at times.

When Powell was attacked by conservatives in 2012 for endorsing Barack Obama for reelection — Mitt Romney surrogate John Sununu famously suggested that the endorsement was motivated by race — Wilkerson sprung to the defense of his former boss, saying that the Republican Party was “full of racists.”

Wilkerson stands by those assertions. In a recent conversation with Salon, the retired U.S. Army colonel renewed his criticism of the GOP and the Bush administration. He also addressed recent saber rattling by Republicans on the issue of Iran. The following interview has been lightly edited.

You have been very critical of the Republican Party. Why do you stay?

There are sane and sober people in the Republican Party. The public persona of the Republican Party has changed since the days of Abraham Lincoln and Dwight Eisenhower.

In the past you have said the Republican Party is full of racists. Do you stand by that and aren’t you afraid of a backlash?

I’m not afraid of a backlash. The GOP has scores of racists. Under Richard Nixon’s blessing, the GOP took advantage of disgruntled Democrats in the South. They are still there and their children are there. This is very much known in our party. This was a conscious strategy.

“The GOP has scores of racists”: A former Bush official condemns modern Republican orthodoxy


Then there was the party’s accommodation to and exploitation of the bigotry in its ranks. No, the majority of Republicans are not bigots. But they have certainly been enablers.....



Who was it who opposed any plausible means of dealing with the genuine problem of illegal immigration, forcing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to cower, abandon his principles — and his own immigration legislation — lest he be driven from the presidential race before it had even begun? It was not Trump. It was not even party yahoos. It was Republican Party pundits and intellectuals, trying to harness populist passions and perhaps deal a blow to any legislation for which President Obama might possibly claim even partial credit. What did Trump do but pick up where they left off, tapping the well-primed gusher of popular anger, xenophobia and, yes, bigotry that the party had already unleashed?


Then there was the Obama hatred, a racially tinged derangement syndrome that made any charge plausible and any opposition justified.

No...that is the logical conclusion in light of those comments........

What Obama did was work with the rest of the nations on the UN Security Council (and China) to negotiate am agreement regarding Iran'a nuclear program which, according to arms control experts, is sound - and obliges Iran to surrender all of its highly enriched uranium, and to either decommission or destroy a large number of centrifuges......This is the exact OPPOSITE of "giving Iran the bomb".....Again, logically, one is obliged to conclude that you and your source are lying....
