Roger L. Simon:
I am not going to blame Barack Obama entirely for what happened in Paris Friday – but mostly. And that’s not just because he famously called ISIS the jayvee team, when they are now unequivocally the New York Yankees or the Manchester United of terror, repellent as that analogy may be (he started it).
But what is clear from the carnage at the Bataclan Theatre and elsewhere in Paris that we will be studying for weeks or months to come is that the West has no leader in our evident civilizational war – no Churchill, no Roosevelt, no DeGaulle, not even a George W. Bush. It’s certainly not Barack Obama, a ludicrous man who thinks the world’s greatest problem is climate change in the face of Islamic terror. This is the same man who oversaw, indeed instigated, a large scale American démarche for the first time since World War II.
And look what happened. Well, we all know. We are living at a time when the Islamic world is having a nervous breakdown, actually more like a violent psychotic break, in its encounter with modernity and is determined to bring us all down with it.
Something must be done, but by whom? (As I write this, Paris is under mandatory curfew, the nation’s borders sealed. Are we next?) America, once the country everyone turned to, needs someone serious at its helm never more than now. The world needs it. But who is it?
@Redteam: I think calling the POTUS a ” terrorist”is grounds for dismissal. I didn’t wear a uniform so citizens could do that.
@rich wheeler:
Actually, yes, you did.
@rich wheeler:
Where did I accuse you of lying? Quote me, precisely. Don’t make it up or reword what I said. Where did I say you lied, precisely.
The fact that you, a liberal, creates a benchmark for what you consider to be an appropriate “conservative” is laughable. The fact that you have a comparison test for conservatives is also laughable. Once again, as a liberal, you have litmus tests that you apply to conservatives that conservatives do not apply to liberals, and you can’t seem to debate without dragging others into what is basically a one-on-one debate.
@retire05O.K. : POST #24 you said “I HAVE FOUND YOU TO BE LESS THAN TRUSTWORTHY.”
POST #31 you said “Do you really want me to spend time Cataloging The Falsities that you spouted off about.”
You also said “I have no use for those who lie.” Agree
Therefore—If you promise to stop telling lies about me I promise to stop telling the truth about you. Is that a deal.?
@rich wheeler:
OK, how is that accusing you of lying?
Do you not know the difference between spouting falsities (perhaps out of being poorly informed or just plain stupid) and willfully lying?
I said I have no use for “those” who lie. Plural. Not singular. Obviously you counted yourself among them if you now have your Hanes in such a wad.
So, you want a lie that you told? You said I accused you of lying. That, in itself, is a lie. I accused you of spouting falsities. Whether that was willful, knowing what you were spouting was a falsity (which turns the falsity into a lie) I cannot know.
What I do know is that you spout falsities and then, when question on it and ask to back up the falsity, you run and hide and refuse to deal with the comment you made.
@retire05 Lying is an antonym for trustworthy.: I am glad to hear you believe you have not accused me of lying. lol
Happy to debate you one on one anytime. That darn RT keeps jumping in the ring.to be your tag team partner.
@Richard Wheeler:
As are these which some of I could easily apply to you:
Antonyms for trustworthy: shifty, baseless, hazardous, slippery, mendacious, fictitious, apocryphal, dishonest, fishy, untruthful, suspect, uncertain, fickle, Doubtable, untried, unfaithful, false, questionable, treacherous, unsound, debatable, disloyal, unconfirmed, inconstant, deceitful, counterfeit, irresponsible, untrusty, dodgy, recreant, untrue, spurious, devious, fly-by-night, fabulous, perfidious, unsafe, undependable, problematic, untrustworthy, traitorous, exploded, risky, unauthorized, shady, unreliable, doubtful, shaky, lying, disputed, faithless, dubious, disputable, tricky. –

But you have not retracted your accusation that I did. Why is that?
That doesn’t eliminate the fact that you will run from questions when you find the answers inconvenient.
I am only responsible for myself. If you have an issue with RT giving his two cents worth on one of your comments (certainly his purview under the First Amendment and the moderators of this website), then take it up with him and cease calling him my “tag team partner” which, I suspect, you do for nefarious reasons.
@retire05: I said you may believe you did not call me a liar. Obviously you did.—lying antonym for trustworthy.
“”RT’S two cents worth” You’re over valuing his input. I call him your tag team partner because that is exactly what he is–sure he’ll show up shortly—“nefarious reasons” lol
o5 If you promise to stop telling lies about me I promise to stop telling the truth about you.
@Richard Wheeler:
Where? What post?
Among the other 50+ antonyms, some of which would easily apply to you.
That’s your opinion. Others may not only enjoy what he posts, but agree with him.
And if he does, I’m sure you’ll object claiming he’s tag teaming, just as you seem to think that you have the right to tell others they are “out of line” or something similar. Odd how you left wingers think you have the right to tell people what, and when, they should, or should not, post.
Maybe you should stop painting.
@rich wheeler:
RW are you actually claiming that American military men that fight for their country are not fighting for the right to have an opinion? First the definition of ‘terrorist’ might mean different things to different people. As I said, in my opinion, Obama is a terrorist enabler, that might also mean something different for you and me.
But if someone is going to have a political blog and they have to kowtow to the socialists/liberals, then it wouldn’t be much of a blog. You will note that there is one helluva of lot of leftwing blogs that will not let conservatives state opinions on them, but most conservative blogs will.
@rich wheeler:
RW, I haven’t seen anyone telling lies about you. It’s not their fault if you choose to run with the rainbow crowd.
@Redteam: In my Marine Corps you can’t call the POTUS a terrorist. Well you can, but you won’t be a Marine for long.
@Richard Wheeler: Do you seriously think most members of the Marine Corps are Obama lovers? It has always been the policy that military in uniform do not discuss politics. I personally do not know any current active military that are on FA discussing politics.
What I’m concerned about is your feeling or statement that the US military are not the primary defenders of liberty in America. When it gets to the point that we can not state our personal feelings in public, then we won’t be needing the military any longer.
Just curious, do you disagree that Obama is a terrorist enabler? If he’s not the one that is doing it, who is in charge?
@Redteam: I’ve said before I’m less than one mile from the north.gate of Camp Pendleton. The Marines are trained and ready to go.–wherever they are needed. They’re politics are not relevant. They support their CIC.
Eliminate Isis with extreme prejudice—Bombs away–boots on the ground as needed—get all defenders of freedom involved. Closely screen all refugees.
@Richard Wheeler:
Still waiting.
@retire05: Lets clarify. In #57 we agreed that liar is one of the antonyms for trustworthy. In #24 you stated “I have found you to be less than trustworthy.”-In that statement were you calling me a liar ? Yes or no? Only you know the answer to that. Really pretty simple.
@Rich wheeler:
As are 50 plus other words antonyms for trustworthy. I did not agree it was only “liar”.
In that statement I was saying I have found you less than trustworthy. Do you have trouble with basic English?
And why are you wanting me to answer a question when you are constantly refusing to answer questions from others, including me? Double standard much?
You claimed I called you a liar when I never said that. So who is really the liar about what I said?
@retire05:
O.K. then–it’s a deal.
If you promise to stop telling lies about me I promise to stop telling the truth about you.
@Richard Wheeler:
No deal until you retract your claim that I called you a liar.
And how do you know any “truth” about me except for what you have concocted in your own mind? You don’t know me, have never met me and know nothing about me except your own biases.
@retire05: You called me “less than trustworthy.” Antonym for trustworthy is liar. Nuf said.
Over the years you have told us much about you…
@Richard Wheeler:
Where did I use the words “liar”, “lying” or “lie?” I didn’t. You just don’t seem to have the moral backbone to admit there are over 50 other antonyms for “trustworthy” or that it was you who lied when you claimed I said you did.
Of course. You continue to show that you cannot admit your own falsities.
As have you, RW. But do I really know you? Absolutely not. You may be a stellar fellow, but nothing you have ever said on this blog would indicate that.
You lied when you claimed I said you lied. I did not and now you don’t have the spine to admit that. How sad.
@retire05: May I remind you on post #31 you said “do you really want me to spend the time cataloging the Falsities that you spouted off about.” synonym for falsity– untruth, lie.
Stop digging 05
You’ll recall I said “take your time” and not surprisingly, you’ve come up with nothing.
@Richard Wheeler:
Are you claiming you have never spouted off a falsity? Really? You really want to stick with that?
Why do you refuse to admit you lied when you said I called you a liar?
@Richard Wheeler:
while you may be describing Marines, that has nothing to do with Obozo. He would not want to elimante ISIS under any conditions.
