George Will nails it

[The Rabbi]

George Will: President Obama's magic words and numbers - The Washington Post

The piece contains many examples showing the disconnect between Obama's universe and the one we inhabit. And the closing remark is right on the money.

....

Many of the words and numbers bandied by Obama and his administration may reflect an honest belief that the world is whatever well-intentioned people like them say about it. So, Obama’s critics should reconsider their assumption that he is cynical. It is his sincerity that is scary.

It's a relief that the majority of Americans now seem to have some grasp of how untrustworthy Obama is, but it's still frightening that so many could ever have been swept up into his magical universe to begin with. And we still have to get through 3 more years.

Sorry, but I happen to agree with the idea of staying the Hell out of Syria. Apparently George Will believes we should get involved in yet another war. I guess he hasn't learned anything.

Because staying out has been so productive so far?

Where did he say that?

Criticizing Obama's muddled policy and false claims are a far cry from saying we should get involved in a war. How is the mucking about Obama is doing saving us from war? By helping Assad strengthen his hold on power until he's killed so many people that there is no more resistance? Well, okay, but that doesn't make Obama's delusional claims about what he has accomplished any more reassuring in the context of the future health of our nation.

We've been very productive in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You understand that's not a response, right?
What should have we have done in Afghanistan? Lobbed a cruise missile and blown up an aspirin factory and declare the perpetrators of 9/11 would be brought to justice?

Laura Ingraham made George Will look like liberal today on FUX NEWS SUNDAY. It was fun to watch.

 

[rdean]

I don't want to live in the GOP's world.

Let him die. Really? Should we let you die if you get sick?

Suspicion.Do we get to check you out if we suspect you? Cool.

Every man for himself.And you're pure? Can we check your past out?

Money is king.Money is never king, but if you think that, can we check your books?

Feed the poor and they will breed. Again..................got any proof of that?

An endless military to protect us from "what"?Probably from your own injustice.

American helping American is socialism.I'd say that an American helping another American would be American. We help each other if I remember right, but if you don't see it that way, good for you, obviously you got where you are by yourself,

Education is for snobs.Really? What is YOUR level of education? 8th grade or high school?

Scientists are in it for government money.Can you prove that with a legitimate news link?

They are either afraid of it or they hate it or both. And most of the time, we don't even know what "it" is.

I call bullshit on almost all your claims. Care to back them up with real news stories?

There are also similar quotes from Michelle Bachmann and others. Easy to find with Google and Youtube.



I just look at what your leaders say. I told you before, I could never make up this stuff. I just repeat what Republicans say.

Taken out Bin Laden and al Qaeda and then came home. Was that really so easy to figure out? Obama didn't invade Pakistan. Yet he took down Bin Laden.

Why is this so difficult for Republicans to understand? And they call me stupid?

I will say that George is very, very close.

I have become convinced that very, very few of them are well-intentioned anymore.

I think there are several categories liberals fall into. Some really believe that government taking care of people is the answer. I think many of the people with that mindset are unsophisticated and have a simplistic view of life. When more and more people become poor as a result of the nanny government, it's blamed on others. It's always the same excuse. Things got worse because the right didn't cooperate and people didn't obey. (That damn free will people have) If we don't do exactly as we're told, their ideas will fall apart. And we aren't supposed to complain about things, like Obamacare, because somehow it's our fault it isn't working. With Obamacare, the middle class is suffering and the left is perfectly fine with that. I guess they figure it's our turn since we had the luxury of actually choosing our own insurance and paying for it. Now we can't choose, many of us have nothing, yet we still get to pay for other people. And it's a lot more expensive. Liberals defend that because they either believe that someone is stopping it from working or they know what's happening and they look forward to the destruction of the middle class, which is a must for socialism.

Some liberals know better, but desperately want socialism and are willing to tell whatever lies are necessary to make that happen. They are smart enough to know that historically, no people ever welcomed socialism and it needs to be pushed bit by bit while leaders claim it's for the greater good. That worked well in the past, but was much more difficult in America. Too many understand history and reject socialism because they know it doesn't work. Liberals counter logical arguments by vilifying people and convincing the less sophisticated people, especially dependents, that anyone wanting to remain a capitalist, free society is a greedy wealthy person. Liberals constantly push that myth in an attempt to minimize the voices of reason. They mock anyone who talks about freedom, liberty and personal responsibility. Carney recently claimed that freedom is just a buzzword, as if it was invented by the right. That is an example of how they attempt to dismiss those who understand what true freedom really is all about.

The liberal leaders might dream of being the next Castro. Dictators are always grossly wealthy, involved in capitalism and cherish their own freedom and liberty, even as they deny those things to the people they rule. I have heard many liberals praise the likes of Castro and other dictators. They admire them despite the way they oppressed people and ignored the suffering of their people while they enjoyed their own utopia.

Leaders who seek to dictate are narcissists, but it goes further. I honestly believe it's mental illness.

The ones who initially support them tend to be desperate and desire to be taken care of and some are "educated" but far from intelligent.

George Will is one of the few on the Right who admits to being an agnostic.

[1] "I'm a heathen. ... I'm not decisive enough to be an atheist. [COLBERT: You're an agnostic?] Yes." Interviewed on The Colbert Report, 3-Jun-2008.

Let me guess, this is supposed to make everyone who agrees with him suddenly switch to being Obamazombies, right?

They've all been backed up by real news stories on this forum already. Clean the cotton candy out of your ears and pay attention.

Really? I must have missed that, especially that let him die thing, which was a Democratic party plant. Not only could I tell be his voice, but rdean actually admitted he did it .

Will attacks Obama's Syria policy in the article. That's funny because 5 months ago he wrote this article, entitled

Obama is right on Syria

George F. Will: Obama is right on Syria - The Washington Post

How many George Will's are there?

How often will you lie? The date on that column is 2013/3/29. unless my math is worse than yours, that column is from over 11 months ago, back when Obama was dithering about how to handle Syria, not like now, when he is lying about what is actually occurring.

Yea fucktard. The Seal Team is a bunch of liars. They have no integrity. Not like Republicans. The filthiest US political party ever. Sure, the Nazi Party and the Communist Party were bad. But they caused no where near the damage the Republicans have.
