So the drooling Marxist troglodytes at the NYT are impressed that a witless senior at Columbia University, who never had an original thought in his life, wrote an opinion typical of a clueless freshman in high school.
Why am I not surprised.
NYT scribblers follow a pattern:
See Spot!
See Spot run!!!
Run, Spot, run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, hold on Obambi. It's only twisted logic when you CAN'T see the big picture. Damn, the international world will cut off your cohones and stick them in your mouth while you die if they had a chance to pick another countries pockets and justify it by saying you are the great satan when most don't even realize they're doing satan's work. Being an idiot in college is fine as long as YOU are not set in your ideaologies but crimeny, this is the real world.
Disarming while we have two wars going, and North Korea firing off missiles, Iran killing their own people for a nuke, Chinese killing over 20,000 civilians to crush the Tamil Tigers...yeah, and that's not even Africa or, Russia champing at the bit to get into the ME, or fifty other nations on the verge of collapse. Until Jesus returns, arm to the teeth.
Good points, Karliner. Well said indeed.
Carter and the Democrat Congress in the Seventies were bad from both the perspectives of keeping us safe AND maintaining the military, but there were still enough real Americans in that body to do no worse than to let the military atrophy through neglect. As for keeping us safe, Carter set the stage by stabbing the Shah in the back and projecting profound weakness to the Soviets. As fossilized as their leadership was, they could still spot weakness and indecision with their beady pig-like eyes.
Barack Obama is going to do more damage in both arenas. I am convinced he is bent on destroying our economy for a variety of reasons, and one of the main ones is to make us incapable of supporting a military. Basically, he wants to put our military back in the condition it was in in from 1920-1937. He also is going to tear the military down from within through his policies which are sure to demoralize the members of the military which is bound to result in worse discipline.
When I read this article written by Barack Obama in college, I was struck, not only by the insipid, syrupy, idealistic viewpoint that can only be inspired by a combination of youth and sheer ignorance, but by the overt socialistic and Marxist tones. Basically, a snotty nosed college kid who has taken some courses and been lectured to by Ivory Tower types, and now thinks he understands the world and everything in it.
Like many liberals, his understanding of the military, the people who serve in it, the conflicts they fight in and the situations they face in warfare are shaped and encompassed by Hollywood.
And he has not changed one iota since he wrote it. This thing he wrote as an overstuffed adolescent accurately reflects his views today.
This person is now the President of the United States. How this man got into that office, I am at a loss to comprehend. I never, ever thought we would elect a person like that.
One more thing-ever notice how the Marxists, Communists and Socialists have this fetish about acronyms to describe organizations? This pathetic article of his is full of them.
Whoops! And thanks Ernest!
Once upon a time slavery was mainstream.
Mainstream opinion said that the earth was flat.
Bleeding patients with leeches was mainstream.
What’s so great about being “mainstream,” anyway?
Actually, I never thought about it before. Thanks for the insight. obama at the wheel is like watching a very inexperienced LT try and manage his troops. He should just STFU and sit the -- down and listen to the sarges...whoops sorry about the acronym but I'm pretty sure this one is pure American.
LOL...that has to be American in origin...
;’)
People feel asleep.
They became fat and lazy and full of themselves.
He was BORN and RAISED in Indonesia. He saw America as TOO WEALTHY and a MILITARY BULLEY. In his eyes we NEVER GAVBE ENOUGH.
He is going to CHANGE that. He’s not interested in redistributing our welath in America. His plan is to REDISTRIBUTE our WEALTH TO OTHER COUNTRIES and bring us DOWN to their level as he raisees THEM UP - at our expense. Then life will be “fair” - America was put in its place. He HATES AMERICA. He is a RACIST.
WAKE UP!
Do you hear anyone that counts complaining about this or objecting to it? That is how he will do it. People are ASLEEP.
