They don’t hate ‘our freedoms.’ They hate that we’ve betrayed our ideals in their own countries — for oil.

Kennedy is a certifiable lunatic. He should be institutionalized for his protection.

They don’t want us in Syria because Obama has mucked up everything he’s touched.

Why would anyone listen to this guy.
Even if you agreed with his politics, the man is certifiable.

I don’t want us in Syria either ... it’s their own damn Islamic religious civil war. There is no ‘side’ to root for in an Islamic religious civil war ... unless one is Muslim.

Obama said he wanted to go into Syria to depose Assad. When the Russians said they would hand Assad his hat, and set him on the bench, Obama said NO. The only reason I can ascertain why Syria is the NWO needs the churn. They need the instability the killing and dying, the stories of death and destruction because it keeps citizens off balance. The PTB are planning a total world takeover, and they are damned close to it. All we need is total war, a populace that cries out for help from above.....from government not God, and BAM. No more pesky government by the people, anywhere.

Uh... because they don't trust Obama? As we used to say when I was a young man in the Navy, Obama's as "fup duck" as a soup sandwich. He has the reverse King Midas' touch. Everything he meddles in ends up in worse shape than it was before.

They hate because it’s a pillar of their way of life.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr sez, eh? We've betrayed our values? How about that? How about Cape Wind? How about a widespread family pattern of using women as dumpsters?
