“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

The absent President


As a back-bencher senator, Obama voted "present" more than he voted yay or nay. Of the 100 most powerful men in the US, shouldn't we expect more from them?

Now as President, he continues to vote "absent".....as the world burns, Obama takes another golf vacation......

-Iraq is about to fall into civil war as the terrorist group ISIS(Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), establishing a caliphate while in possession of massive amounts of high-tech military weaponry left by US troops, marches toward Baghdad.
-At Obama's invitation, tens of thousands of diseased and/or pregnant alien children flood the US southern border, establishing a serious humanitarian/refugee crisis that will overwhelm our system.
-New revelations about the VA scandal come out every day and no heads have rolled.....except those of veterans who died waiting to be seen
-If Iraq descends into chaos, a nuclear armed Iran will surely involve itself.

But Obama cannot be bothered with all this. He's got California moonbats to hit up for campaign cash for the mid-terms and his golf swing could certainly use re-tooling.

"...nuclear armed Iran...."

Really? Pretty impressive, Ed. You have inside information that no one else in the whole wide world has. Way to cultivate those secret sources, you clever dog you.

Isaac, you might be the only person on Earth who takes Iran at her word that they don't already have nuclear weapons, or is at least on the verge of it such that strategic planning must take it into account, so for practical purposes, they do.

Actually I take the word of I.A.E.A. inspectors who regularly monitor Iran, along with all the other signatories to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. (Which treaty nuclear Israel, tellingly, has NOT signed.)

A nuclear Israel, today with over 200 nuclear warheads, frightens me much more than the indistinct prospects of a nuclear Iran sometime in the by-and-by.

Can you say, "Sampson Option"? Do you even know what the Sampson Option is?

Do you even know how to spell SAMSON option?

Ed said...

The Samson option seems like a potent deterrent to me. Why shouldn't they use it if it came to that?

Clearly I did not. Thank you for correcting me, Anonymous.

"The Samson option seems like a potent deterrent to me."

You call it a deterrent, others call it blackmail. (e.g. "How psychopathic megalomaniacs blackmail the world with nuclear war.")

Or, in the words of Israeli historian, Martin van Creveld:

" "We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force…. We have the capability to take THE WORLD down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under."

Note that he says THE WORLD, that world populated by the human beings that Israelis call donkeys, cattle, and beasts, creatures infinitely inferior to themselves.
