Obama clears up the name game

Useless as teats on a boar, imho.

I don't mind if they ban them, and they probably will. Just don't expect it to change anything. Rolleyes and all that.

Do you really think Muslim militants would be more pissed off if Obama uttered "Islam is our enemy"? Apparently Jeh does. If you do as well, you're just as hopeless as he is.

It's not the militants that he doesn't want to piss off. It's the billion plus who haven't been radicalized.

Whell is clinging to the ridiculous notion that der Trumpenfuhrer is actually right about something. A fool's errand.

If the religion has not matured to a point where the bulk of it's followers have enough self control to endure criticism without going postal, then perhaps they're not worthy of not pissing off.

Let's take another example:

christian terrorist + gun = dead people

This one is similar. If we remove the christian terrorist, we are left with just gun. There's no problem left to solve.


Now let's try solving the equation a different way:

islamic terrorist + gun = dead people

If we remove the gun, we are left with the islamic terrorist. This doesn't seem like as tidy of a solution, as the islamic terrorist wants to have problems for us to solve, so he will replace the gun with another variable- bomb or machete or airplane full of people. Anything he puts in that "gun" position and the equation gives the same result, dead people.

There is a fundamental error in the equations you have postulated/formulated known as not enough variables, unless it's a dumbed down Trump version.

Worthy? Worthy?

That says it all. For you, this is all about 'we're good guys, they're bad guys, and you're with us or against us.'

Look, the vast majority have as much self-control as any other bunch of people, and the reason for not pissing off the ones on the margins is not to be nice to them because they deserve it. It's to have fewer people fighting with the radicals.

And all this argument is useless, because this is not about facts and logic. Not at all. Not for one second. This is about 'SEE! Obama isn't one of us!' Which you believe, and will always believe, not matter what, with no evidence.

Except that of your eyes.

Well by all means, let's see the Common Core version....

As the vast majority of Islamic groups are not murderous, why libel the descriptor?

That would be inherently racist.

Well, no. Islam is not a race. It would be inherently bigoted though.

Nah, you do the math. Besides I am way beyond Common Core standards.
Besides this whole thread has been an exercise in you, whell and Zero justifying your vote for Trump. Why not have the balls like TJ and simply announce that you plan to vote for Trump, or does misery need approval?
