I am not making this about Democrat versus Republican; in fact, I took interesting test and it asks several questions to determine where your beliefs fit most, e.g. I was 84% Democrat, part Republican, part Libertarian, etc.....
I mostly agree with what Hair said above. Sometimes Obama sticks his foot in his mouth, e.g., remark about Trayvon Martin could have been his son, etc. Further, he should not have called the 3 Muslim killings a hate crime until facts are known. Sometimes facts are hard to discern, but he is the President, and whoever is giving him the briefing needs to do a better job of it...so I don't agree with everything he does, but I think he has done a good job especially considering the mess our country was in when he took over. You probably all have 401 plans, maybe a few stocks, mutual funds, bonds, etc...they are doing great...I won't dwell on the good he has done, but I do think Obama care is a good thing....Some of us are not going to agree, but we do have right to state our opinion on this thread.
Logic 101.....Terrorists in the Mid East are Muslims, also known as ISIS (focus of this discussion)...Not all Muslims are terrorists. ISIS members are killing other Muslims maybe just because they don't like someone's sandals...they don't have to have much of a legitimate reason, but they profess to do this in the name of Allah and or the Islamic faith. I know little about this faith except through the actions of these extremists who terrorize other Muslims and practice the Islamic faith...We can't believe that these outcast sociopaths actually represent the Islamic faith practiced by the World's Muslims....that would be a gross generalization, like saying that the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas represents Christianity or at least the beliefs of the Baptists here in the U.S. When you are President, you have to try to think about the welfare of all the people and impact on our allies around the World....Why does the U.S. always have to be the leader of the pack. It seems I have written this before so maybe I am repeating myself....Mr. Obama has asked Congress for more money to fight ISIS, but that doesn't always mean bombing everything in sight killing innocent civilians in process. Anything involving strategy, war, etc is usually a covert operation and unless you have a top secret clearance, you ain't gonna know what is going on....The Administration made several attempts to rescue hostages over the past few years and failed. One of the reasons, was because the prisoners were constantly moved from place to place....and everyone bitches about that. I am unaware right now of what Obama said (I have been sick most of the day) to criticize Egypt....whatever it was, it was probably misunderstood by the Republican critics....I don't think dropping bombs is always the solution. There are so many terrorist cells throughout this planet that bombing one country is like swatting one fly in Kansas...Do we really want our military men and women to continue to lose their lives in a never ending fight. You will never understand the pain of war unless you have lost someone in that war...If on down the road, it is determined that we need to send troops back to Mid East to fight terrorism, so be it, but we will also have to go to Africa, and other terror occupied places...If it comes to that, I think we need specialized troops, squads, to go in to predetermined locations and do their things, paratroops, helicopters, etc...
This country was founded on freedom of religion. I don't believe in the Islamic doctrine, but the fact that some extremists/terrorists do, doesn't mean all people who share the Islamic faith are terrorists.
