Free Republic

Then by all means, what is your suggestion?

You seem to be under the mistaken idea that this video and the movement is limited to the United States. It’s not. It’s world wide. The benefit of this video is that a cold-blooded MAD MAN will no longer be able to travel outside of Africa because this awareness is being made world wide. Uganda is only one part of it. The real goal here is awareness. And no one has to pay a dime for that.

Well, Obama is still President,last time I checked, so that takes away our right to criticize ANYONE for having ineffective leadership. And keep in mind, if anything were to happen to Obama, that would leave us with Joe Biden leading the show. The only ones celebrating that would be Comedy Central and Saturday Night Live.

You write:

“Of course, we know why.”

Uh... thanks for sharing.

I think this is as much about awareness as anything, and that part is free.

Nobody is suggesting we invade Uganda. He’s probably not in that country any longer. The point is to spread the awareness all over the world so no matter where he goes to try to hide, he will be recognized, seized and brought to trial (or executed).

Is noted in the original article, We DO urge all to vet things on their own... and to share that info as it is uncovered.

Not sure what you mean when you right “As most people know by now... Mr. Kony is no longer a real threat.”

That’s just plain ridiculous. Just because he is out of Uganda and slithered under some rock elsewhere in Africa doesn’t mean he doesn’t pose a threat. He is a mad man ON THE RUN. That probably makes him more dangerous than ever. Talk about checking your FACTS before posting...

I don’t think this is about the name of his army. It’s about what he has done to children for over 20 years. If your house was on fire, would you stop the firemen to first establish if their motive was to put out the fire or roast marshmallows?

This isn’t about lefties or righties. It’s about awareness, and an invitation to those who would like to be part of the solution. That’s OK, I’ll put you down as more interested in the secret agenda and let it go at that.

I agree, but no-one is asking us to “go bankrupt.” This is more about creating awareness, and that part is free. You don’t have to donate to IC to tell the world that there is a madman Africa. Regardless of who spreads awareness, this guy needs to go.

Two points in response:

1.) The article clearly states we should all vet things ourselves and not depend on others to do so for them.

2.) As noted in a reply to the link you provided: “I think people are ignoring the fact that half of what IC does is create awareness, and that part is free. You don’t have to donate to IC to tell the world that there is a man acting like Hitler in the middle of Africa. Regardless of who spreads awareness, this guy needs to go. Critics are missing the forest for the trees.”

Sorry it couldn’t have been more about you. Perhaps next time.

And then there’s this: http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/03/07/guest_post_joseph_kony_is_not_in_uganda_and_other_complicated_things

As I mentioned in the post, we must all do our own vetting. I don’t question, for a moment that the movie has its share of fact-stretching, but it doesn’t lessen the horror faced by Jacob and the others.

However this turns out, it still stands that the use of the social media is the most powerful tool out there... for good or evil. It just means that it’s even more necessary than ever to vet everything we see or read.

If I’m not mistaken, that critical race theory is simply Locate Kyle Busch and run him into the wall. But hey, I could be wrong on that. But that was Jeff Gordon’s advice.

Not debating? Sounds like you are stating an opinion, annointing it as the truth and don’t wish to have to defend it.

The way our society works is that when crimes are committed, the police respond, NOT the public. That’s what has always separated the United States from 3rd world countries where they employ the “Might Makes Right” scenario... which is exactly what the rioters are trying to inflict upon the locals in the communities they ravage.

To disqualify the police from being part of the solution, would be to cave to the rule of the rioters.

If the police are outnumbered, then it’s time to call in the National Guard. That doesn’t “make the citizens the enemy” as you claim. The enemy is still the rioters. And the required solution is still the same: Stop them at all costs. THEY are breaking down society and the DECENT, LAW ABIDING CITIZENS deserve no less than protection.It’s been done before. And it works.

The one thing you NEVER do is capitulate with law-breakers or you have given up your freedom from intimidation and the looters will only become more emboldened.

I do believe that business owners have a right to defend their stores from looters and I believe that a well-armed proprietor is one who stands a good chance of defending his property. I believe individials should be allowed to arm themselves so they can fight back from home invasions.

But I don’t think you can leave it to locals to be their own vigilante patrols, especially when other law-enforcement is available. Otherwise, that would lead to anarchy.

The previous is MY statement of opinion. I am not annointing it to be the truth and welcome debate.

You may be right... it might just be the catalyst that gives them what THEY see as the right to loot, plunder and rob whatever they want... and feel justified in doing so.

Yes, lst’s just hope the government hasn’t sold all of it’s high-powered weapons to the drug cartels in Mexico or else the rest of us looking to buy our first gun are going to be screwed.

I’ll be happy to stand corrected, but can you cite for me where the qualifications are clearly stated? You may well be right. What I might have defined is simply “American Citizenship” and NOT “Natural Born.” If I’m incorrect, please cite your source for the edification of all of us (myself included). Thanks.

That’s what I thought when I first saw it, then I saw where it says (at the bottom) that it’s a “True Copy.” I’m not sure what, exactly, that means.

If it’s a newly printed copy, that MIGHT explain the newness and crispness of the paper. But then how did they get the original signatures printed on the new form? I want to believe this is a legitimate document, but there may be some who notice the crispness of this paper which is allgedly 50 years old. Stay tuned... birthers may not be ready to let this go yet.

I disagree. As much as I don’t like Obama or what he stands for, the fact remains the COLB (certificate of live birth) IS legal for establishing his credentials as being a natural born citizen.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Trump has just imploded. He made a big mistake the other day when he announced boldly, “You won’t BELIEVE what my investigators have found!” When a reporter grilled him about that today, Trump had to do the backstroke. He avoided answering the question, and when pushed further, he said he’d answered the question, then ended the press conference.

Trump is dead in the water as a viable candidate. He was caught hyping something he cannot now produce. The American Voter has little regard for someone who’s caught trying to bullshit them like this. His credibility is now, in all likelihood, shot. It will be interesting to see if this negatively affects the ratings of his Apprentice show...

You write: “Did you have an opinion of the subject of the OP? (what was this sideshow today, designed to distract from?)”

My answer: My guess is that it will be something significant news about the economy. It will probably be in response to people who are demanding the transparency that Obama promised (and has yet to deliver). Bernanke (who is now on the defensive) will be trying to calm our fears.

You Write: “Meanwhile, how about all those other things Obama has been hiding?...”

Like what, specifically?

There is NO requirement that EITHER parent be born in the USA.

What do you think all the BORDER BABYS are all about? As long as the baby is Born in the USA (Cue Bruce Springsteen), the CHILD is a natural born citizen. It’s been that way since the Constitution was written.
