It's true though that Obama has a "tip-toe" policy about terror. Think about it. Fort Hood is a terror attack. The guy was a Muslim, he wore Muslim garb and yelled "Allah Akbar!" while committing his murders. President Obama called Fort Hood "workplace violence". Workplace violence. Think about that for a second. Workplace violence would be throwing a copy machine at a wall, not yelling out Arabic screams as you commit terrorism in the name of Islam.

He isn't stupid, he knows what he's saying. Why does he say something that flawed?



Out of curiosity, do you consider Charleston a terror attack too?

Sure, in a sort-of homegrown hate crime sort of way.

I just never really noticed until recently how eager liberals are to make sure they do their best to stress anything different than Muslim Islamic Extremism.

"Workplace violence". It was terrorism. Obama says "ISIL" while everyone else says "ISIS". Obama was asked about Islamic extremism and came back with a quip about "Christian crusaders 1,000 years ago."

It doesn't make sense. It's like he's trying to play fair with people we should be incinerating.

In Prague, he said America has “a moral responsibility to act” on arms control because only the US had “used a nuclear weapon,” as though winning a war that Japan started was shameful.

By a margin of 46 to 11, more right-wing conservatives than left-wing liberals agree that the US is the best country, according to last year’s Pew survey. In another survey, when Americans were asked to guess whether American exceptionalism was a belief of Presidents Clinton, Reagan, George W. Bush and Obama, the latter came in last, by a large margin.

Even when Obama claims to support American exceptionalism, he can’t do so without a “but.”


Screw American exceptionalism, It's a jingoistic and racist idea that acts like this nation was completely justified even in crap like Manifest Destiny or the Spanish-American wars. Your notion that we should declare some sort of war on Islam is ridiculous also. It's corrupt dictatorships like the ones in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, or Egypt freed from occupation less than a century ago and military blowback that that propel peoples towards extremist movements like the Taliban or Hezbollah. Implying that these people at home or abroad act barbaric because the Quran is stupid.

You must be new. This is Reaganfan aka Naso. A 57 year old man in a 20-something's body. Someone who adores Reagan despite never living during his terms. There's not a flag-fondling, jingoistic, chest-thumping moment he doesn't enjoy.

Nor any kind of vast generalisation he won't apply to attempt to win a point.

But on point, terrorism is not an invention of Islamtic extremists, it's a tactic. Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist, the Charlestown shooter was a terrorist ... just because it wasn't related to Islam and home-grown nut jobs doesn't make their motivations or the outcomes of their actions any "better" than the Fort Hood shooter or the hijackers. It's simplistic bull****.


I'm familiar with Reaganfan but I didn't know his jingoism was as bad as his police brutality apologism.
