Do you,........ ahh,.... spend a lot of time looking at Breitbart.com?
Apparently you don't remember the death threats against Mr.Obama and family......Rush Limbaugh and his "Moo-chelle and her pickaninnies" schtick.........The cartoons of the White House surrounded by a watermelon patch........ Of course, the " birther" groups and how Mr. Obama insisted on getting sworn in on the Koran instead of the Bible..........Sen.. Mitch McConnell's remark about how they were going to do everything in Congress's power to insure Obama would be a one-term president?........ and their subsequent stonewalling of just about every piece of legislation Mr. Obama proposed?
Or....... how about this? We're both truck drivers, we both get to wander into the back door/loading dock of hundreds of businesses in a years' time. And....... since we're truck drivers, no one expects much out of us in the way of controversial political discourse............Tell me truthfully, how many times a week did you hear someone say: " I hate that n#&$@& in the White House"?
I know I heard it at least once a week for eight years.........
Mr. Obama ......... and his family,........handled the virulent and latent racism rampant in this country with class , taste and intelligence. Most of the stuff you posted can be taken right off Breitbart or Limbaugh. Mr.Obama was handed an economy in free fall, due to Wall Street's running rampant through the real estate finance market. I think he did a fine job.
And now it appears that the campaign promise to "repeal Obamacare" is going to take a long, long time, because apparently those that are on " Obamacare" .....kind of like it.
What about "Lock her Up"? ........ That's not getting done either.......
Did Mr.Trump use emotion and outrage to get elected,........Instead of good old reliable facts?
By the way, Islamic religion does not teach hate or killing.
Maybe you should read the words of that famous Middle Eastern philosopher Yehoshua bin Yusef.......
Especially his Sermon on the Mount.
The one thing that has "stuck in my craw" was your absolute opinion that "Islamic religion does not teach hate or killing"
If you have an open mind and are not afraid to change your mind when confronted with a truthful opposing view, backed up with facts, look up and read this site showing 109 verses from the Quran and other Muslim documents in their actual form ( translated to English) then dissected as to meaning. If you dare, go to:
www.thereligionofpeace.com on your computer - then key QURAN - after the next widow appears, key "Verses of Violence". There will appear 109 verses directly from the Quran and other Muslim texts that encourage or order loyal Muslims to commit "in the name of Allah" every violent crime against humanity imaginable.
For some reason just keying into the web site shown on this post or any other post will not work anymore. Don't know why.
IF you have an open mind - you will see how wrong you are about "Islamic religion does not teach hate or killing".
It's true the Bible has many verses containing violence, but that was in the past. The Bible does not condone it or encourage it at the present day. The Quran does - nothing has changed since Mohammad wrote it in the 5th and 6th century AD. The strict teachings and expectations of a faithful Muslim are the same today as they were in the 6th century AD.
Christianity has in the past, sanctioned and carried out killings in the name of religion, such as The Inquisition, The Crusades and the Witch Hunting. Those sad days were wrong and are long gone, while the violence ordered in the Quran is still very much a reality. One Muslim sect killing Muslims of a different sect that does not believe in the strict version of the Quran is a common everyday occurance as is the open order given by Mohammad, in the Quran to kill or convert all non-believers of Islam everywhere. That is now happening in places all over the world, slowly but methodically, according to the Quran.
You claim you have read the Quran (and apparently have one handy), so look up the verses on the list from the site I gave.
www.thereligionofpeace.com Compare to see if the wording is the same. I don't expect anybody to just take my word for anything I say - look it up for yourself.
I always do in order to separate the truth from BS or outright lies. NOTE: I just tried the "religion of peace site". It worked now, so just click on the above "highlighted" site.
I know nothing about you. I don't know your skin color (it doesn't matter to me). I don't know your religious beliefs (that don't matter to me either). All I DO know is that you are a hard-core Democrat (that's OK too, because I used to be one before I woke up to what was happening to the party after the draft dodging, pot smoking, hippie, war protesting days when the troops were being spit on and called "baby killers" by punks calling themselves Democrats. That bothered the hell out of me, since I was military during those days in the 60's, but I stuck with the Dem party until after McGovern, after Jimmy Carter and even voted for Mondale over Reagan. After I saw real class and leadership by President Reagan, I never voted Democrat again and have never regretted it. The last 8 years of Obama and now the stupidity, the childish actions, the violence committed by punks claiming to be Americans while burning the flag I fought under, screaming "Kill Trump" "Trump is a (⊙▃⊙)" and all the while being encouraged to do more of it by Democrats now in office has convinced me that I did the right thing by leaving the Democratic Party in the 80's.
As a Teamster, I've seen nothing the Democrats have done for our particular part of the Teamsters, except damage it by allowing ERISA to pass in Dec 2014. That was a slap in the face of the many members that contributed so much to the Dems in the DRIVE PAC (since I knew over 90% of the money went to Dems, I never contributed a dime).
There is so much to disagree with in your supportive posts of Obama, his term in office(and how he got there), his wife and the Democratic Party ever since the Carter days and the "Bubba" Clinton days (selling us out with NAFTA) and now Hillary's corruption in the "pay for play" Clinton Foundation - I just don't have the time or the space to list it all. Since you are so entrenched in you beliefs, it would most likely be a huge waste of time anyhow.
One last comment, then I'm out of here (and won't return) I did not and do not like your assumption that I am a ⓇⒶⒸⒾⓈⓉ because I consider Obama to be the worst and most divisive President in American history (the racial divide now is the worst I've seen in my lifetime). That "name calling" is a typical response by a closed minded Democrat that I despise. The Democrat "game plan" is to just refuse to consider the facts as they are, of what Obama has done and has NOT done to this country, just go directly to the "race card" to embarrass or intimidate anyone that disagrees. Use PC - political correctness and the "Un-American" or "un-constitutional" stance to put down a political opponent. Talk loud and talk over those that disagree. The Dems and the liberal blacks have found that usually works to shut somebody up or to get their way on any issue.
The thing that Democrat elites don't want to talk about is the fact that Obama has done the
most damage to the blacks in this country, by allowing millions of "illegals" into this country who compete with low income blacks for the same jobs. The "illegals" are usually the ones that get hired, willing to work for lower pay and no benefits. The shady employers know illegals will not file any wage discrimination or minimum wage complaints because the "illegals" fear the INS and they know there will be no verification required for legal citizenship status while Obama is in office.
I have probably worked with, lived among and been friends with more black co-workers, shipmates and families that you have ever even MET, so your assumption that I am a ⓇⒶⒸⒾⓈⓉ, simply because of my opinion of the damage Obama has done to this country, pisses me off.
We are all products of our environment, our upbringing and our life's experiences. Apparently, your's is and has been mostly bad and/or negative, while mine is positive and always hopeful of change for the better - both in politics and in life.
He owes nothing to no one except those of us who gave him that job. What's really pissing people off is that he is doing what he campaigned on and he is undoing much of what the Bammer did. Those 25+ year olds who still live at mommy's and have not prospects or desire to get out are upset because their teet is being shut off. No free college, etc. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why they want to burden us with refugees. There are several versions of this video but I think that the meat of the material is all the same.
