Wow, I check back a few days later and this thread has taken on a life of its own since I started it. I admit, I’ve only had time to skim the additions since my last post (#39) to this thread, but they are generally far afield of my original point. If I remember right, one poster just told me “Fuck You” -- now that was intelligent and speaks well of his depth of understanding the real issue. I was wrong to play the Muslim card in post #1 since I really don’t care what religion he is. Frankly, I don’t give a shit about his religion. He’s supposed to represent all of us, not just those that voted for him in the elections. Isn’t that taking the moral high ground? Shouldn’t he be the one to get on THAT high horse? Instead, his horse has blinders on, he’s dropped the reins and we’re heading for the rail at the far turn. That aside, I repeat post #39 -- it explains my concerns about where this nation has gone, whether it be run by liberals, conservatives, independents, communists, socialists or our current president.
#39 - The irony is Obama frequently uses the phrase “because it’s the right thing to do” to try to justify his agenda, such as open borders, free college, free health care, lower rates on student loans, etc, etc. But when it comes to stopping the current murders of innocent women, children and men, regardless of race, color, creed or religion, he forgets his own edict. I could have searched and watched the beheading videos on the net but chose not to. This time, I found and watched the incineration of a live human being and I admit, I cried for him and his family. If you haven’t seen it, your comments here lack support because you don’t know what they endured and what we’re up against. If you have seen it and can still defend Obama’s inaction, I feel sorry for you.
It is time to end the censorship of the ISIS murder videos on national TV. Americans can no longer choose to divert their eyes from the horror, hoping it will magically go away. Censorship promotes ignorance and ignorance allows the atrocities to continue and attain new heights of depravity. Most of us have seen the shocking photos and the films of the Holocaust. Some may dismiss them as surreal acts committed by monsters from the past. Yet, had we seen those images when the Nazis were torturing and murdering innocents, we might have acted sooner. Enough is enough. I believe we as a people are better than that. I believe God is watching and waiting, again.

Here's an article from your beloved Fox News where they pontificate, because of his attitude towards the war on terror, if he's becoming more like Bush.

Here's another article detailing how targeted killings of terrorist have actually increased under Obama versus Bush. Instead of putting them in CIA prisons, like Bush, Obama has chosen to just kill them outright.

So what the fuck are you actually talking about? He's not doing anything? You must be nuts.
