Your thoughts ???????

Might I add....the so called coming together of world leaders marching in unison was a great symbolic gesture. Yet I am worried that that's all it was....a symbolic "gesture". I find it ironic that the Palestinian leader was there in a march against exactly what he supports, which is terrorist attacks against Israel!

Did anyone here reading this see on TV the elaborate and well made tunnels that the terrorists would use to cross into Israel? Well that took a great deal of man power, money and materials. The Palestinian people cry out that they are being left in poverty, stripped of dignity. Yet turn a blind eye to the fact that all that concrete and manpower could of been building an infrastructure for those very people!

I don't mean to get into Middle East politics but rather using that as an example of why I think all this is just leaders seeking to score brownie points....like when a white cop shoots a black person, that's the only time we see Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. If racism ended today those guys would be out of a job. When a black person saves or helps a white person, or when a white person helps a black person.....where the hell are they praising that? So it is with political leaders...they are the fricken bottom feeders really. Power corrupts them, so many of them will sell their soul to get that position or seat yet when it comes time to act and fulfill their campaign promises suddenly they get amnesia. So what happens is people, the common everyday folk, get pissed off and feel that their vote was wasted so why bother voting at all!

It seems so pointless many times to even get upset at politicians, for the lies they boldly tell you while looking you in the eye, for the crimes they commit and never get brought up on charges. How many of us would get away with contempt of congress, let alone a local court? Yet Lois Lerner did. Eric Holder, caught in a lie, contempt of congress and nothing happens!!

Would you or I get that type of pass? Hell no! Why? Because we are just the common peasant who must be made known just where our place is in society.

Lois Lerner, even though she is a liar and betrayed her oath to be "fair" in her duties, is going to get a big hefty retirement deal paid for by us for the rest of her life. Somehow the common people got screwed twice on that deal.

So let's not get all dazzled by this march because a week from now it's most likely business as usual.

Oh please, they're making much ado about nothing - our Ambassador WAS at the march: 'The United States is represented at the march by Ambassador Hartley.'

Isn't that the job of our ambassadors? To represent us overseas?

From Wikipedia: An ambassador is an official envoy, especially a highest ranking diplomat who represents a state and is usually accredited to another sovereign state, or to an international organization as the resident representative of their own government

Sorry, but I don't see how we snubed France on this one.

So we send an "ambassador" when other countries send PM's, Presidents, etc? This excuse doesn't cut it for me. My guess is there were no tee times available in Paris that day.

Problems have a start, a beginning. Too often problems are recognized and dealt with when it reaches "C" or "E" level so we go back one or two and try to deal with it. It usually fails because the problem, or rather the solution, will only be dealt with and corrected when "A" or the starting point is found.

For example, we here in the United States have an immigration problem. Our borders are not very secure realistically. So instead of dealing with the border issue with the laws we already have we believe that either adding or ignoring them will solve the problem.

It is against the law to cross into America yet we actually welcome people in. We allow them to live here, work here, get an ID and soon they will vote. If they are captured they are rarely sent back. The defenders of these illegal aliens will say they are doing the work that American kids will not do. They are correct. Hence another problem, why do American kids not take on these types of jobs? Produce pickers, bus boys, construction and so on? Answer: They are seen as jobs beneath an American in the eyes of the majority of young people. Any girl who follows the Kardashians will by no means ever dig up weeds and spread out manure. After all Kim Kardashian is not a singer, an actor, never served time in the military, congress, senate....(has she ever had a 9-5 job even?) yet she is rich and famous and idolized by many young women. The majority of young men have been wussified by an over zealous nanny state where dodge ball, kick ball, tag and countless other school yard games are now banned because it may lead to one child being "bullied"! The minority now control the majority.

No longer does a young man bus tables for a few years, maybe work his way up to waiter, then head waiter, then possible manager because that requires time and commitment and we have sadly raised more than one generation on a "I want my french fries NOW!" mindset.

Boy - "I don't want a job cleaning off tables!"

T.V. Exec - "How about if we give you a reality show where you bus tables and it's all about you?"

Boy - "I'll do it!"

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.....and all other social media crap has basically raised this last and new generation and we are about to see just what a world run by bunch of narcissistic ass-hats looks like, and it will not be pretty I am sure. Why? Because it's all about "me"! I deleted my Facebook years ago because I was getting stupid stuff about when and where people are eating, when they feed their cat, selfie pictures of them in the hallway, in the car, out of the car, just waking up.....how damn stupid!

So what does that long intro have to do with what just happened? Glad you asked.

To Obama he and his admin will not use the words "Islamic" and "Terrorist" in the same sentence because in their world view, in their small and limited world view (agenda is a better word) they defeated that. It's over and done. Now there are people, isolated wacky people, who are committing violence not in the name of Islam but rather using Islam as a way to defend their evil acts. These evil people have "hi-jacked" the "peaceful religion of Islam" and muddy its good name.

Eric Holder and his goons see more of a threat from "homegrown" terrorists such as Tea Party members, Christian organizations that declare xxxxsexuality wrong, Boy Scouts of America and lawful gun owners as more of a threat to government than Jihadists. Notice the threat is perceived as one against "government" and not really so much the people or society?

So when a bunch of world leaders gather to speak out against Islamic terrorism and to declare war on these people the Obama admin wants no part of that because to them they defeated that long ago. To send troops back and fight ISIS would then mean that Obama was.......WRONG! And his personality disorders will not allow that....and of course Valerie Jarrett would not allow that either.

Has this President ever taken responsibility for something gone really bad?

So the solution to the problem? We would have to go back years and grasp that when we started to see Absolute Truth as more of a plural truth, in that what's true for you may not be true for me, is when we start to see a crumbling of our morals. If the structure of America traditions can be chipped away at slowly, then we will be none the wiser. How does one boil a frog? One just raises the temp very slowly and before the frog realizes it he has been cooked alive. So it is with the removal of what made America America. Just slowly remove this, add this and before we know it we have been fully stripped of our rights as a free America.

We, as America, once stood for something. We were the one place everyone wanted to come and where everyone should have the right to come to LEGALLY! Sadly we have a President who has a world view where America was the worlds bully. She was too exceptional and this made us look bad, it made others hate America. So in his "spread the wealth" mentality he would lower America to the levels of the rest of the world. This goes against all logic. Instead of saying to the world...."Hey you all suck, so how about we all suck together?!" Why not say, "America is exceptional. Let us raise you to that level also!"

In school, little Timmy studied all week for the spelling test. He aces it and gets an "A" plus a ribbon. Timmy's class mate Johnny did not study. He didn't get one right and he got an "F" and no ribbon. Timmy's paper is stapled up on the board for all to see.

That scenario would take place years ago but not in a school led by today's progressive nut wacks.

Timmy would study his heart out, ace the test but wait.....it's no longer called a "test". Little Johnny was up every night playing games and he failed the so-called "test". Timmy AND Johnny both get ribbons because while Timmy aced it at least Johnny tried and that's what counts. There are no winners or losers because everyone is equal! There are no longer "boys" and "girls" because that will give some warped individual a "complex" about their sexuality because today Carl "feels" like Carla! Heaven forbid we offend Carl....or Carla. There is no absolute....only now neutrality.

So if we have a leader who looks at a cloud and says, "Gee what a wonderful marshmallow that is" and no one can correct him. We have a problem.

You are on a roll homeboy. Preach!!
 
This country has had these issues (immigration, terrorists, welfare cheats) before Obama and they will be around with the next president. There will be someone new to blame.

Yes that correct. The person doing thier job, did it. End of story. If you guys insist on making a big deal over nothing then so be it. No sweat off my back.

Real politics is done behind closed doors, what ever is done in the eyes of the public is merely a gesture to appease the public demand.

Agreed. But in my mind and in this circumstance, POTUS was a necessary addition to this march. Even if it was just eyeball appeal.

Why is there no outrage from the Muslim community when crap like this happens. Their silence speaks volumes
Click to expand...

Because of fear. The question has been asked, "Is there such a thing as a moderate Muslim?" If one takes a look at "radical christians" and those who bombed abortion clinics it was proper for other Christians to speak out against that evil and condemn those horrible actions. Reason being is the radical Christian extremist was not seeking to kill anyone and everyone who did not agree with his or her warped interpretation of Scripture.

Now for a moderate Muslim to stand up and wholly rebuke and condemn these Islamic extremists he or she is putting a target on themselves and their families. Why? Well because these Islamic terrorists want to kill all people, Muslim and infidel, who disagree with their warped 8th century world view.

A Mormon can speak out against another Mormon, Buddhist against Buddhist, Catholic against Catholic without the fear of retalliation. Now if everyone turned against these terrorists, especially their host countries, then perhaps we can eradicate the cancer.

Sadly Bunky this is very true, yet it does not make it right. Illegal immigration can be stopped only when the laws on the books now are followed. As I stated earlier with "problems" having a starting point and rarely does the starting point get the needed attention it deserved to remedy the problem. In regards to immigration is starts with the country in question. If the government of that country is corrupt and evil people are in power then why stay there? I do not blame these people wanting to get to America to work, for a better life. So let's say Mexico for instances pushes hard on the cartels. Breaks those rings up, seizes the money and property and start to rebuild.

In regards to welfare, it's a broken system so abolish it. What was meant to help people out of a hole has become a crutch...a way of life. The majority of people on welfare have no shame and it does not bother them. In our politically correct society now welfare people get a neat little "card" that looks like a debit card. This way they won't feel bad because now no one knows they are on food stamps and such. My wife and I had to go on welfare many moons ago and it killed me....I hated it and felt embarrassed because it looked like I could not care for my family. So it drove me to get off of it ASAP! Within 2 months we no longer needed it. That's how it should be used.

If an unmarried women can get more assistance then why get married? She will just live with her boyfriend and they will spit kids out because they get more assictance. He works under the table and she does also. Their kids grow up with no traditional family structure and they groom their kids to be dependant on government assistance, thus a new generation is raised holding out their hands waiting for the mailman to bring their check.

No President can fix these problems because they do not see, admit or recognize there even is a problem to begin with!!
