Countless wars fought under the banner of Christianity and countless wars caused by schisms within Christianity as well as atrocities like the Spanish inquisition.
But they were done in the name of God and Christ so they are acceptable.

Poor Barry the real truth about him is coming out. The uninformed flock that voted for him are turning their backs on him. It is expected. Nothing left to do but undo the damage.
RE: Not a good week for the Obama administration! - username - 05-14-2013
I never voted for him. I voted for Hillary and against McCain/Palin.
That's my story at least.

Ancient history and absolutely fuck all to do with holding Muslims for years and torturing them without any charges being brought against them.
Locked up based on their religion, locked based on their race, tortured and with no actually charges being brought against them = concentration camp.
Bristled by the monarch thing, huh?
Think Spain, douchebag.
You played the institutional racism card and backed it with a historical perspective: Japanese interment.
Yes . . . history from these shores DOES come into play to illustrate your point of "Locked up based on their religion, locked based on their race, tortured . . . " as it accurately describes the plight of the Native American people.
Same shit, different day with the exception of the term "Detention Center" instead of "Reservation".
It's now the Muslims' turn in the box.
If they get released, they can franchise casinos and live happily everafter.

Some of the people locked up didn't feel anything, one way or another, about America but they sure as hell hate us now. We are hated worldwide & I don't hold that against any of them, I'd hate us too, no one likes a bully.
I could give a tinker's damn how we are viewed worldwide . . . especially by those who receive our aid and protection.
And more so to those who have benefited from the loss of life of our soldiers and allies.
If our President and his administration believe the detainees are intelligence assets and continue holding them without formal charges, that's good enough for me.
RE: Not a good week for the Obama administration! - Duchess - 05-14-2013
Intelligence assets is laughable.
This administration sucks as does the one that came before. I care about me & the people in my life, fuck everyone else. I don't give a rip about immigrants, people who can't feed their families or any other nigger out there.

Do you have a single brother?
If so . . . does he like buttermilk bars?

Are you okay with foreign groups doing the same to our military personnel? Or would you call that a war crime? You can't really have it both ways.
News Flash Tootse, the towel heads have been doing that shit for years and much worse.
One big difference, Our guys wear uniforms and swear an allegiance to our constitution. Their guys are just a bunch of assholes that think its ok to kill the guy next door just because he doesn't worship some long dead bloodthirsty desert raider and to kill their women for looking at a man.
Oh, THEY declaired the war, not us, Fuckem

I didn't mention Christianity, but your correct, the European Catholic Church murdered and pillaged their way across the world for a couple hundred years. Now its the same Europeans throwing rocks and calling US Racist.
I ddn't pay a hell of a lot in american history, but I don't recall many stories about American churches Crusading or Killing in the name of God.
Only ones I hear about that is the towel heads and the church from centuries gone by

The reason why Obama hasn't closed guantanamo is to placate dickheads like you who denigrate an entire faith based on the actions of a few fundamenallist extremists.
Where I do have a problem is when some asshole (no matter his color) decides that is his right to fuck other people over to suit his religious views.

I immensely enjoy being lectured by someone in the UK about institutional racism.
It's really not that often that hypocrisy makes for such entertainment!

We weren't lynching black people for being black up to and including the 1960s that was you.
Our society wasn't racially segregated up to and including the 1960s that was you.
Rosa Parks could have sat anywhere she liked on a bus in the UK without incident.

Rosa wasn't Irish . . . or a Wog.
And "Thank God!" . . . after the 60's . . . you realized it stopped!
Like I said, we're a young nation.
It's nice for an aged parent, like the UK, to scold us and remind us of our indigenous follies and foibles.
And hopefully post bail . . . when we need it.
RE: Not a good week for the Obama administration! - Cynical Ninja - 05-14-2013
Rosa wasn't Irish? Are you claiming that Irish people living in the UK have faced or face racial discrimination or segregation? If you are you are in fucking cloud cuckoo land AGAIN.

Yes.
My claim is that the Irish faced discrimination.
Additionally I claim what the DOJ did with the AP is akin to what Murdoch's employees did, too.

Yes, all of the paki's and muzzie's feel right at home I am sure.
And are you including the other parts of the British Empire in your 'society'? Because I am pretty sure that the Indians, colonized parts of Africa, and Hong Kong felt pretty fucking segregated under British rule.
It must be nice to pretend to be so inclusive when your society has been just as unenlightened in its fairly recent history.
I get that you are a bomb thrower, but fill in with some intellectual honesty every once in awhile.

Racism and discrimination never existed in post WW II England.
There was never a need for a Race Relations Act or a Commission for Racial Equality.
And detaining Muslims without formal charges being filed by the government . . . absolutely not!
The Irish: Top o' the heap, treasured and never profiled by the Brits.
The Irish will swear to it!

While Obama's currently getting some hard ass-kicking over foreign policy and international relations, some positive domestic financial/economic news was released today.
1. Bull: A growing sense of optimism about the U.S. economy pushed stocks to record levels Tuesday, even as the market's fear gauge flashed red.
The Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 both closed at new record highs, while the Nasdaq gained 0.7%.

2. The deficit is declining faster than predicted back in February, at least in the short term.
...the better-than-expected deficit for this year buys lawmakers more time before they have to raise the debt ceiling, which is the country's legal borrowing limit. The CBO now estimates that Congress will need to act "most likely in October or November."

Investors have also been encouraged by continued signs of improvement in the U.S. economy, said Paul Zemsky, market strategist at ING Investment Management, pointing to a report Tuesday on small business confidence.
Ever notice how the "investors" are never defined?

I read this morning that in large part due to Gov Dinah Shore raising our taxes, California has a surplus. His party is now pressuring him to spend it on programs for the poor.
Republicans! We work so you don't have to!
