O'Reilly: Is Obama delusional?
Post a comment
Description
Yes, it's from Fox News.
However, every point brought up.
Is a legitimate point.
"Boarder Security", come on Fox catch that next time...
But yes, Obama has really failed us in the war on terror. And just as well the Democrat party itself is unfit to deal with it. You heard Bernie, and the scary part is the part of their party that fully agrees with him on it.
Moral of the story for this 2016? Vote Republican, at least they acknowledge the problem.
Ya, vote Republican unless you want Red Dawn to become a reality. You people are hilariously paranoid.
Quite laughable you say that since it wasn't our candidates who blamed global warming for terrorism. Likewise, it wasn't under Bush Crimea went into Russian hands, nor the entire mideast collapsed.
The two latter of which could've been handled far better, but weren't. As a result the entire world now blames America for the crisis today. You have any idea how many conversations Ive had about this? You should be ashamed of the Democrat party for that. Not only that but the domestic hell they've raised.
Need I mention the left in this country has brought race relations back to the 60's here? It's not even funny, this wasn't a issue during the Bush years. Now whenever a black guy gets shot, automatically the entire police department is racist. Or a simple term, like calling terrorists what they are, radical Islamists is deemed offensive. How can you fight a enemy if you can't even call them what they are?
And yet, you claim Bush was wrong, trying to dethrone Saddam, yet did the same thing with Qaddafi and then tried it with Assad, and look at the mess that's made. It's hypocrisy at it's finest what the Democrats have done. You accuse us Republicans of trying to Democratize the middle east, you're doing the exact same thing just are being more radical about it than we ever were. You didn't learn a thing from Iraq.
Hell, we've even got a proxy war with Russia in Syria now.
You just gonna go the media matters way of denial?
Oh, and to be honest about the red dawn part.
No, that's not what I'm honestly worried about.
What I'm worried about is the greatest country on Earth, the United States of America and all for which she stands, becoming a backwater political power no longer leading the world like we did in our golden days. Because some slopstick Democrats decided entitlements and political correctness was more important than first rate leadership and fiscal responsibility on a national, even global scale.
America is a unique country, and we have the capability to be a real blessing to the world in both leadership and hope, for a better future. It's just a shame so many of you no longer have the vision to see that nor the will to make it reality.
This country was built on hope for a better tomorrow and faith in it.
Not complacence and a sense of sarcasm to all that's serious...
If a million people in a country, the size of Syria, move from the countryside into urban areas due to a severe drought then no **** climate change has something to do with the following collapse of said country. Evidently you're not a fan of this idea that there are things called 'catalysts' which initiate things, such as dismantling a whole nation's army and assuming everything would be just peachy afterwards. I must thank you for informing us all that liberals have invented time travel, as I can't imagine how half of anything you psychopaths say is remotely logical. Then again, how can someone who believes in national supremacy and warmongering be rational.
Are you really this delusional that you're going to blame the mass Syrian migration on climate change, am I hearing this right? You've got problems, big problems.
Ive got a newsflash for you, SYRIA HAS BEEN IN A CIVIL WAR even since 2011. Over 250,000 people have DIED as a result of that war, their cities bombed, their families brutally murdered, Assad has even used CHEMICAL WEAPONS on them. Syria never even signed the international pact to ban the use of chemical weapons for their nations military. You want catalysts, try the rise of ISIS in Syria by Obama trying to dethrone Assad and prolonging that Civil War.
I don't like Assad, but there were far better ways to handle this...
You've given me the most whacked response yet, you need psychiatric help.
I'm not kidding, please, go see a doctor, get Jesus, YOU NEED the help...
You only further reveal your ignorance of the matter. That drought which drove a million people into urban areas primed Syria to become the hellscape it has become, prior to the civil war. Where you got this idea of sand monsters rising out of the desert and starting a civil war is beyond me, evidently the phrase "the following collapse of said country" was too confusing for you.
Hell, I don't even know why you criticize Obama as if I disagree with you; that man's got the hand of the military stuffed up his ***. If I could have everything my way, the only thing the US would be dropping into the middle east would be some sec ops forces and porn magazines. Those are their nations, invasions and bombings only feed groups like ISIS.
Sand monsters?
Dearie...

I don't know where you get this idea, that radical Islamic terrorism, is some kind of bogeyman in a conservatives closet. But you obviously don't know very much about Jihad, nor what Islam actually demands of their followers. From the way you speak, it's obvious you sincerely believe that the ideology has nothing to do with what has happened in Syria. Just because there is a drought, that doesn't mean it starts civil wars, nor fuel suicide bombings. If the people there didn't have such a stone age belief system, they'd come together and resolve this "drought" problem.
It's cute how you think you're more knowledgeable than me on this matter.
But if that's what helps you sleep at night, then I'm not one to judge.
I'll leave you at this, until Islam is reformed, the terrorism and civil wars in the mideast, will continue. That is the sad reality of the situation. Blaming a drought for a ideological problem, is a mute point.
You don't see California collapsing nor in a state of Civil War, and they are in the worst drought they've had in decades. I know, because I used to live there.
Odd, I don't remember defending Allah—pieces of random people rain upon him. No, not at all. Then again I suppose its impossible to infer anything to someone who effectively lives in another country. If you can't make a simple connection between a massive influx of then jobless people into a backwards urban environment, coupled with the chaos of that part of the world in general that evidently can easily produce a massive civil war then that's on you. I know it can be hard to consider the possibility of a whole two rather inconvenient factors interacting to produce a rather miserable outcome.
As I do fail to recall a massive migration of people to San Francisco from the countryside, the presence of an outright repressive cult, oh and that odd little matter of California being one of the largest economies on the planet. Ya, definitely, those are very similar situations. *sarcasm intensifies*
I can say one thing with some certainty, people who take their fictions too seriously ruin everything; be it a holy book or Faux News.
Odd?

The odd thing is I'm not the one blaming Climate Change for what goes on in that part of the world, that was your position. You spoke that Bernie Sanders was correct in his statement which was inherently false given the variety of other far more impacting factors that play their role in that part of the world. The biggest of which are corrupt governments and the ideology there. I don't think climate is enough to force people to pick up guns and commit terrorist acts against the United States and various other nations round the world.
Largest economy? It's also the most in DEBT state of the union.
I guess you ignored that little detail when you were looking for the best way to counter my statement in the most asinine way possible. It's also one of the most expensive places to live in, I know that from personal experience.
California does have a massive migration, from illegal immigrants pouring over our southern border, a border your president refuses to secure. And they aren't the only state experiencing it. Are you also going to ignore that? There were even people protesting and getting in scuffles over buses coming in with illegals. Just like in Europe with the Syrian refugee Crisis.
You've been living in fiction for the last 7 years, dear.
People who believe what you do has ruined this country.
Bible thumping conservatives are what built America, the history books testify to that and the fact Christianity has been the dominant faith here for over 200 years. Don't even bother arguing with that, you can't. Anyone who knows America, knows this is a dominantly Christian nation. God has, and always will be our strength. You abandon him, than don't be surprised when all you love goes straight to hell. Only now as the country turns to your corrupt ideology does it all fall apart. That's why people like me are here to do damage control and counter your far left ideology.
What gets me most about people like you is how you can be so disrespectful and mocking of a faith like Christianity knowing full well it's what built this country. What do you think you're trying to prove? I believe in fairy tales? For a book of fairy tales it's made quite a few marvelous leaders and people in this nation. Are you going to mock that too and try disputing it? How far will your warped mentality go? Here's a tip, don't want to **** me off? Show some respect to Christianity then. That's my personal faith and I take it to heart as my standard. If you gotta problem with that, then shut up. If you want to talk trash about it, at least have the common courtesy to not do it in a direct conversation with me.
I can only handle so much "liberal tolerance" before I want to puke.
Your party cries no hate, be tolerant. Than what was that about Christianity? You're being a hypocrite, and you're not the only one Ive dealt with who is like this. Progressives say one thing, do the other. All the while acting their ideology is superior. It's depressing honestly how you follow and consider people like that worthy of learning from. All it does is further convince me I'm in the right and you're not. So if you're trying to emulate your party as the good guys here, you're doing a terrible job of it. There's nothing superior about what you believe, especially when you're going to conduct yourself in such a manner as right now.
As a example of what tolerance really is, I have a problem with Islam in it's radicalism. But even then I have Muslim friends and don't let their faith alienate me from them and likewise know to show them and what they believe respect. Now, can't say the same for you now can we? I know about the "crap" posted on groups here especially that of the atheist group. I don't even want to see it, and for good reason. What you people promote is the embodiment of hatred and intolerance. All that stuff you post does is meant to spark fights and institute mockery. We don't post crap like that on the Christian group, yet you do on your atheist group. And that's disgusting. It also says a lot about the character of people in your group compared to that of the Christian group. Are you even aware of that or are you just going to ignore it?
You should be ashamed of yourself down to your core.
I'm sorry that Ive had to take such a tone, perhaps Ive gone on a rant. Not like I care at this point. Something tells me though you needed the kick before you started to understand exactly why I despise liberalism so much these days and so many others do along with me in America and elsewhere. If you sincerely believe what it is you follow is without its sins, than I can't help you. You've got to cut the denial. I know there are people who don't act right in my party and faith, and I deal with it. You however don't, for yours.
On that note...
I think Ive had enough of liberal "tolerance" for today.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Let's see... claims climate change caused Jihad as a primary instigating factor, claiming a fundamentally secular nation is Christian by virtue of an ever-diminishing Christian majority, fear of immigrants, heavily worn Christian victimhood card, claims I'm contradicting the standards of a party I'm not even part of, infers I don't hate Islamists(heavily political theocratic Muslims), thinks there's a comparison between a group based on belief and one that is based on not believing in mythology, infers the opposition is delusional if he does not believe he was created as an inherently flawed creature by the creator of the universe, and finally then presents an opportunity to say "Happy Holidays", though tempting it's not worth mimicking politically correct pansies for the sake of irony here.
Merry Kwanzaa, my fascist friend.
Yes, you did in fact back that when you said Bernie Sanders was right.
How about this, I'll be generous. I'll quote you again from earlier.
Climate change isn't to blame for the ideology. Nor is it to blame for the civil war resulting from it. How is climate change even relevant? Droughts are a common occurrence especially in that part of the world. Even with that though, it's questionable the drought even played a role at all.
Here, I have a article for you to read about it, enjoy. :-)
Euanmearns.com
I'm sure they tell you that everyday when the president says God Bless America.
Here's some statistic on how many actually affiliate with Christianity in the United States. Literally you could just google it.
Christian - 70.6%
Other Christian - 0.4%
Non-Christian faiths - 5.9%
Other Non-Christian faiths - 1.8%
Yet, on another point. What secularism there is in this country is for the sake of religious freedom as well as other unalienable rights. The separation of church and state was for a reason despite the "obvious" Christian majority in the United States of America. Ive personally seen when the church can get out of hand especially in government. So I know it's for the best. However, Ive also seen when government could get out of hand without some moral standards. So to throw God completely out of the hearts and minds of anyone who is a government official, I'd say your borderline fascist.
More like distaste at the fact illegals can so easily get into this country, especially those with criminal records. Any sovereign nation, has secure borders. That's not fear, it's common sense. I encourage you to learn the difference.
Victimhood of just Christians? No I'm honestly speaking for people of all faiths when I brought up what I did. People who believe what you do can be quite the viscous bunch when you decide you deem a particular belief system inferior to yours. I'd figure you'd have realized that when I brought up the Muslims. Apparently it didn't click, oh well...
By simply taking the positions you have, you've affiliated yourself with the political left of the United States. Because much of what you believe is in line with left beliefs. I simple pointed out what contradictions I believe I saw with you, given your stances that were thus far in line with them. If you don't believe in tolerance, then you're worse off than I thought. So it doesn't make it any better that you claim no affiliation over that one point. Of course, my impression is you said that simply so you wouldn't have to deal with the "annoyance" of being called a hypocrite.
Uh, spelling problem perhaps? Either that or you "admit" you hate them?
There's radicals, and then there's moderates. If you were a remotely intelligent person. You'd work with the moderates to help insure no more risk of radicals coming from their mosques. That requires relationships and being friendly, cooperative with those people. You know, something you've long given up on in favor of narcissism and lampooning?
One of the things our U.S. soldiers did in Iraq was work with the local communities as part of the Surge to help root out radicals and make friends with the populace. They would help us with rooting out radicals in return for our kindness and we were successful up until Obama pulled the troops out and left it to the Iraqi government. That government of which stopped working on those relationships and allowed the situation to deteriorate between the Sunni and Shia Muslims. In fact they actually encouraged it which contributed to their own downfall when ISIS invaded.
Oh come now...
I never said you were delusional if you didn't believe the faith I did. I did of course show irritation at the fact you consistently mock it in a direct conversation with me.
I'm sure it was tempting though. :-)
God Bless and be safe.

I simply say the drought made an inevitable ****** situation worse, while you say it either had zero effect or that Islam is evidently an ideology that naturally sprouts from droughts and thus finally proves Allah—pieces of people be upon him—is the one true space dictator. By all means, continue to be a neanderthal that only thinks in terms of black and white.
Conveniently leaving out the 20% "none" statistic huh, I see wut u did there. Amusing as well, that you think religion to be a necessary component of morality when the most earnest candidate for president is a Jewish Atheist. Though if "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." is so fascist to you, I must ask why you haven't move to the Vatican or Saudi Arabia yet. Clearly, you hate America.
Oh, the irony.
Evidently you don't bother to distinguish between Democrat sheeple and Liberals as I bother to distinguish between Republican sheeple and Libertarians(conservative anarchists). Democrats only support the old Republican-derived "Obamacare", a near oligarchic capitalism, and generally tolerate minorities of all variety. Liberals agree often with Libertarian non-interventionist foreign policy among other things, like drug legalization and regulation. They also generally support FDR-esq stuff such as universal healthcare and a stable regulated economy. I'm a Liberal Socialist who on top of the mentioned Liberal ideas supports things such as a maximum wage of 50x that of the lowest paid worker in a company(of course with bonuses allowed, for exemplary performance), serious antitrust laws supporting market competition by stifling monopolies, ect.
Don't you worry your little head, there's someone far more qualified dealing with that end of the deal. Samharris.org
It will forever make me pity Christians, how it is they think without a moment of hesitation, that the creator of a universe would be so lowly a creature that it would divine a species wrought with a sickness called "sin" and tell them the only way to "cure" yourself is to essentially 'obsess over my existence.'
By the wisdom of Odin and the might of Thor's hammer, I wish thee a merry Freestuffmas.
That's because there was no drought.
The disaster was government made.

Traditionally I don't bother since they don't even care to distinguish themselves. They prefer to just fire away talking points and we go at it like dancers in the Tango.
I'm a Conservative who prefers to lean independent. I believe in Free Market Capitalism. I don't believe in crony Capitalism, which is what happens when you overregulate the system and only the big corporations can survive all the charges and taxes creating monopolies (which is what we have to a degree right now). Nor do I support unregulated Capitalism which creates far worse monopolies. I believe the system needs regulation, but just enough for the little guy to make a difference in competition.
I believe more conservative principles. I don't believe in free universal healthcare because then the middle class, which has shrunk during the years, would have to pay for it. Free healthcare would cost in the trillions. Our government is already nearing 20 trillion in debt by the time Obama leaves office. Regular working class Americans who are already in debt up to their necks, would have to foot that bill for you. The government itself is already too big for its own good. They need to cut down in size and reduce spending. Budget is a disaster and both Congress & Senate have become too corrupt to effect real change.
I don't know where you get this idea the government can write a blank check and everything will be ok. That's not how it works, you either pay your debts or it comes back to haunt you. Over half the country is already on welfare, we don't need more dependency, we need work. Take off some of these regulations and taxes on corporates and they'll start coming back with jobs for us. And perhaps they'll even set up their main operations here which will be even better for the economy.
I once had a similar argument with Baron (Crazyoldteenager) about socialism. Of course the end of the conversation resulted in, Socialism doesn't work in large multicultural countries like the United States. But it actually tends to fair better in small nations with much of the same demographics. Him and me yielded to that.
I'm sure that'll help. My honest belief though is that at some point, soon they will need a reform like the Catholics had if they are going to rid themselves of more extreme teachings such as Jihad.
Well, when you give a species free will. That's a risk you have to take. He ain't to blame, rather we always had a choice. Naturally of course, humans tend to choose poorly thanks to emotions and a variety of other factors. Of course, it can be quite the entertaining soap opera. I do wonder how boring life would be without some measure of unpredictability.
Who doesn't like free stuff. But, is it as satisfying to get it unless you put some measure of real effort into acquiring it? I remember when I won first place at the obstacle course, back at a school I attended in California. 100's of other students, I beat them all. I felt, pride. To me, that was more worth it than the award itself.
