Goldberg On Obama And Radical Islam

This is helpful:

What Obama Actually Thinks About Radical Islam

The president does not suffer illusions about the pathologies afflicting the broader Muslim world.

However, he does suffer from other illusions, as Mr. Goldberg explains. I especially like this:

None of this is meant to be an argument that Obama does enough, or does enough of the right things, in the struggle against ISIS. I could (and will!) write a critique of the administration’s tactical approach, particularly as it relates to Syria. And Obama could bring more emotional intelligence to bear on this problem: He is eloquent in condemning the fearmongers, but he sometimes fails to acknowledge the legitimate fears of non-racist, non-paranoid Americans who would prefer not to be killed by terrorists acting in the name of Islam. The United States is under intermittent attack from an organization called the Islamic State, which, as Graeme Wood has pointed out in this magazine, represents one, extreme, branch of Islam. There is no point in trying to convince Americans that what is happening is not happening. But neither is there a point in encouraging hysteria and division.

Yeah, well, as Mr. Goldberg explained in an earlier piece, the guy with full time Secret Service protection has decided ISIS is not an existential threat so the rest of us ought to just hero up and shut up.

I'd rather read something by the professional wrestler Goldberg. It couldn't be less insightful and would surely be more entertaining.

[GUS]

Blah blah blah blah Mr Obama is blah blah blah, but later I will explain my ELITE genius blah blah blah.

Obama is a mental midget with SEVERE pschological and emotional Daddy Moose Limb issues.

[daddy]

The president does not suffer illusions about the pathologies afflicting the broader Muslim world.
False.

Obama could bring more emotional intelligence to bear on this problem:
What the hell does that mean?

He is eloquent in condemning the fear mongers"
False.

he sometimes fails to acknowledge the legitimate fears of non-racist, non-paranoid Americans who would prefer not to be killed by terrorists acting in the name of Islam.

False. He always fails to acknowledge that.

There is no point in trying to convince Americans that what is happening is not happening.
That is what Obama tries to do each and every day.

But neither is there a point in encouraging hysteria and division.
All Obama does is encourage division.

Sorry TM,

From the little I read I thought this was written by Rube Goldberg.

[Captain Hate]

Obama could bring more emotional intelligence to bear on this problem:
What the hell does that mean?

At the risk of trying to figure out what an idiot intended to say, I think it means he does an obviously poor job of pretending to care about the victims and isn't fooling people who he should be smart enough to get over on.

[Man Tran]

Thanks everyone for the BD wishes. We are having a small dinner party in a few minutes. Nothing as fancy as you guys normally brag on. :)

Thanks for the kind comments about our house project. It sits up on live rock enough to ignore the globull warming, but if the balloon goes up on the Cascadia fault, it might be touch and go on the tsunami wave height.

[boris]

"He is eloquent in condemning the fearmongers, but he sometimes fails to acknowledge the legitimate fears of non-racist, non-paranoid Americans ..."

Wonder if Goldberg ever read Catch 22?

Once a US city is dirty bombed or nuked it will become clear the "legitimate fears of non-racist, non-paranoid Americans" were hopelessly naive and it was the "fearmongers" who were sane.

Unfortunately by then it will be too late for sanity. The people whose illusions allowed that to happen will switch on a dime to exploit the rage. They'll have to, their survival will depend on it. In all likelihood they will remain true to form and make things even worse.

re: Former Danish PM: Europe can take a million refugees (narciso's 3:40 post)

"There is room in Europe for a million people. There is room in Europe to look after a million people and what we just have to think about all the time is that these people are fleeing from the most dreadful war we have seen in our neighbourhood for many, many countries [sic]. Of course there is room,” she said.

I think I see the problem with the former Danish PM. She is such a one-worlder/internationalist, she *actually* believes that Syria is Denmark's neighbor.

She doesn't appear to draw any distinctions between Northern European, Caucasian, Christian Denmark, and the Middle Eastern, Arabic, Islamic Syria. Apparently, being separated by the Mediterranean Sea and nearly 2,000 miles doesn't put you in different neighborhoods.

[derwill]

Goldberg is just trying to keep the Big Lie alive. Trouble is, that is getting harder to do as the jihadist attacks keep piling up all over the place. Then there is that inconvenient Mr. Trump, who insists upon shining a yuge spotlight of truth and reality onto things. You can blame it on the gun today, but what happens tomorrow when the next guy uses a bomb?

Even with the Gulag and the purges, the Soviet Union couldn't keep the Big Lie going indefinitely. Then there's Venezuela, another Big Lie that ultimately, and predictably, hit the cold hard wall of reality. It started with having to use newspapers and rags for toilet paper, and the next thing you know they're hunting down dogs in the streets for food.

[Frau Steingehirn]

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Godfrey Daniel;
It's like having a conversation with psychopaths.
There was a time when Dems and libs were at least sane.
Now, their frame of reference has become so skewed and their starting point so far from reality that the beginning of any conversation is a string of unreal fantasies, projections and lies and attribution of dishonesty, racism, war mongering and every other evil motive possible to the opposition.

Then when a Republican responds with some milquetoast pabulum they go off on him as unreasonable to further manipulate him into acquiescence and silence.
There is no point in even talking to progs. They need to be bulldozed at all times and in all ways.
It would be some gigantic moral victory just to get the dumb bastards to finally admit the people killing us are muslims for Pete's sake but even after 9/11, Iran, the Taliban, AQ, ISIS, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Somalia, Libyia, Syria, Sudan, Boko Haram, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, Hamas, Yemen, Pakistan, Chechnya, a hundred attacks on Americans by guys shouting "allahu akbar" and more, that is still too much to ask.

Trump, rather than being a hyperbolic beast should be the minimal standard of how abusively one should respond to these suicidal psychos.

Our forefathers were shooting red coat bastards a hell of a lot more benign than these nutcake Marcusian morons because they saw where things were headed. We're heading to a very much worse place and our present "leaders" can't even get worked up over our country, our constitution and our heritage being stolen right out from under us.

What can you do with a group of people so benighted and so authoritarian and so hostile to the American project that they not only can't even say the name of the enemy killing us, all they can think to do in response is to attack us themselves by rolling up a few more of our rights, other than shoot them?
They're no more subject to reason than Napoleon the Pig, and even less benevolent.

[GUS]

Great post Ig, I've been SAYING THAT for 9 years.

It's called...THE FULL COMMIE. The left became unhinged when they had FULL POWER. I saw it coming and coined the term THE FULL COMMIE. More accurately these NUTS should be called FASCISTS. No lib should EVER have power. Not even a BABY SITTER. They are unstable mentally.

Lost at Sea
​The incredible story of Bill Durden, who survived 20 hours treading water in the Gulf of Mexico

...Durden was on a roll. He'd just caught two good-sized groupers and tossed his line back into the water when he felt it snag on the bottom of his boat. The engine, he realized, wasn't in neutral. Durden gave the rod a good tug. It yanked him right back, pulling him straight out of his flip flops, off the back of the boat, and into the Gulf of Mexico—25 miles from shore...

...The gravity of his predicament hit the 60 year old Fedex Pilot immediately. "I was like, 'This is a bad, bad situation,'" he says.

In other offbeat news, a Financial guy writing for something called "The Street", wrote an article recently suggesting my boss Fred Smith should be Trump's VP: Why Donald Trump Should Pick FedEx CEO Fred Smith as His VP Choice
'Trump-Smith: We Deliver' has a nice ring to it, but that's not the only reason Donald Trump should tap FedEx CEO Fred Smith for vice president.

It won't happen of course, but of interest is that it just made the Airline threads today, so if you care to read what the Peanut Gallery thinks about Fred as Veep, here's the link: Fred Smith for VP? (Trump/Smith?)

To TC's claim the Bloomberg poll is not an outlier, the gap is 4 points and 50% higher than the next highest poll within one week of it.
The only other Bloomberg poll RCP lists was in March which was 6 points and also 50% higher than the next highest poll within a week of it.
In both instances it was more than twice the RCP avg.
Sounds like an outlier to me.

Daddy, even in Milwaukee, the LIBTARD EPA FASCIST rules make me laugh.
Requiring a toilet, a SHITTER, to function on 1 gallon or whatever MORONIC LIBTARDIC number imposed is COMICAL.
The water in Milwaukee's toilets goes DIRECTLY back to it's source. Lake Michigan. You could flush with 50 gallons and no water would be lost.
Furthermore, WATER is a relatively limited commodity. All water on this planet is RECYCLED.
All H20 is recycled ALWAYS. The statements I just made are irrefutable. Water is not gained or lost MANKINDS use. In fact MAN.......CANNOT alter the amount of water on earth. The hilarity is in CREDENTIALED FUKWADS believing that their EMOTIONAL FANTASIES about ECOLOGY are REAL and TRUE.

The Richard Fernandez 8:22 link of MM's is excellent.

The developments that Megyn Kelly describes doesn't make the security situation hopeless. It has been hopeless for some time. Yet the tragedy was entirely self-inflicted. A national security team of ex-novelists and campaign drivers sort of fell into it. The same crew that gave you the Arab Spring, the Reset and Benghazi now give you ... politicians in blind pursuit of virtue signalling simply ran over the cliff.

That's not exactly saying they're stupid. Incompetent yes, but not for lack of intelligence or knowledge or information.

It derives from their toxic worldview.

Unfortunately the poison is not contained on the left. There is more than enough of it to destroy civilization on both sides.

"They haven't done anything to stop the expansion of government. They haven't done anything to work toward the balancing of the budget. They have gutted the military and they've done nothing to protect the cultural values of this country. So I'm really tired of the Republican establishment coming out and shooting their mouths off and talking about how we need to comport with them. That's not the way this works.

If Hillary is elected and the email gate thing is swept under the rug, but the Russians have a bunch of killer emails that she deleted that would sink her we would have the most easily blackmailed president since JFK was sleeping with that East German broad.

If Islam is Religion of Violence So is Chritsitanity.
Some vapid NYT fool.
Ignorant beyond words.

Ig, that's true, except why would the Russians need to bother with blackmail? Obama and Hillary are already doing everything in their power to reduce America's influence in the world, wreck our alliances, weaken our military and impoverish our citizenry.

What more could Putin possibly want from her in the White House than she and Obama have already given him?

I am sadly beginning to doubt this line in Iggy's 9:25 since the window is closing rapidly for making any difference and avoiding the disaster that would be Madame President: "...there are high-ranking spies who are perfectly willing to leak the sordid details of EmailGate to the media if the president pulls a Dick Nixon and tries to subvert our Constitution to protect himself and his designated successor..."

Ig @ 9:34

A smart opposition party would be putting together all these articles, all these quotes, and making ads with them.

"THIS is what the media thinks of the average American citizen! THIS is what Obama and Hillary and the Democrats think of you! They despise you, they despise your values, they despise your lifestyle and every choice you make, they despise your church and your God!"

This is what I like about Trump operating in a target-rich environment: his operatives can anticipate the playbook employed by the left . . . and then PUNISH them for employing a particularly bogus strategy.

This Gay Gadsden Flag (rainbow Don't Tread on Me)? Brilliant. The left-wing has cynically tried to make the terrorist attack about guns, thereby opening themselves up for a devastating attack within their identity-politics coalition that peels off some LGBT support.

It's a methodical divide-and-conquer strategy that not only brings confusion to the left-wing but makes them vulnerable whatever cynical approach they take. Trump said he was going to change the electoral map and he is well on his way to doing just that.

Except, of course, that she does not require anyone to blackmail her in order to betray us.

Lord knows what Obama has done behind the scenes.
I imagine the Chinese have our launch codes.

The real crisis is that she has the support that she has. It is all really quite out on the open. If anyone here had done 1 thousandth of what she has done they would be in jail for the rest of their lives.

Again, the truly egregious thing here is the open bribery and influence peddling through the Clinton Foundation, along with the so called "speaker fees" to both her and her husband.

That she is evens standing for election, let alone has a serious chance of winning shows us that a substantial part of the electorate has lost not only any mental or moral bearings that we would expect out of any normal adult, but are wholly detached from reality itself. Her supported are morally and intellectually depraved--there is little other way to put it. It is doubtful that this can be remedied, but if it can be then one fears that it will take great national hardship to do so.

Beyond that, the email scandal shows how fundamentally incompetent and deeply narcissist and solipsism she is.

Yes, the national security angle, and the competency issues are frightening, but what is truly frightening is the broad and enthusiastic acceptance of outright corruption.
