Well being a countrymen myself I take that personal. You do not know me. I'm not hateful and far from ignorant. But yes. If Trump pulls off his agenda. Mark my words.
If Trump pulls off his agenda he would probably go down as one of the greatest presidents of all time.
However, the writing is spray painting on the wall in giant 50 ft block letters that Trump is worse than a conman, Trump is a narcissistic delusional egomaniac who has turned the Office of the WhiteHouse into Reality TV. If you look at my posts back in November and December I was adamant about giving Trump a chance. I often argued that it does not matter what Trump has done in the past, that he gets a clean slate and we should only judge him based on his actions once he is in office.
So, all of my judgements are based on his latest 2 months, and they are just quite frankly disgraceful.
Prior Secretaries of Energy all had advanced degrees, PhD's, vast years of related experience: Trump goes with Rick Perry????
Trump appoints his daughter to an unnamed White House position and gives her TOP SECRET Clearance
Trump alienates our allies...
I'm going to stop there, I could literally make a list pages long and it's only been 60 days for crying out loud.
The comment was for the Americans who will glom onto this incident and gleefully use it as "proof" that Muslims are all evil terrorists.
The travel ban was never about keeping anyone safe, nor would it ever achieve that.
The sad truth is, the larger the group of human beings you are dealing with, apparently the lower the collective IQ.
For some reason, logical fallacies and conman games and convoluted logic etc etc seem to be incredibly effective when applied to large groups of people.
I think that we human beings don't have brains capable of understanding large numbers or big concepts.
We toss around arguments like "Muslims are bad and want to harm us" while simultaneously forgetting that Millions of Muslims live in Western countries and could easily bring those countries to a halt with acts of terror. Imagine what would happen if just 1% of Muslims in each Western Country committed a terrorist act "only" once a year. In the US, that would equate to 30,000 acts of terrorism per year.
GIven that you can download a bomb recipe from the internet based on common household items... they could easily bring the country to a halt. So why don't they? What logical fallacy do we use to blind ourselves to obvious holes in our arguments that Muslims are bad people???
I meant that we were not scared. We did not live in terror. Consequently the terrorism did not work.
I do like this post.
thanks to the advent of the 24hour news cycle, we give terrorists what they want. We feed into the hype or worse, we take random acts by loons and turn them into some global terrorist conspiracy.
Back in the 70s and 80s and 90s, when some loon did something looney we didn't combine it all into some grand master plan to destroy the West. I mean, if Muslims are so bad, then why haven't they always been trying to destroy the West? Why haven't they been fighting in the trenches of guerrilla warfare in our western countries for the last 50 or 60 years?
All of this "Terror" crap is just a control mechanism that politicians use to control us and that the MSM uses to sell newspapers and screen time and advertising space.
During the Cold War, it made sense to spend so much on the military. Two great nations with awesome Militaries held knives to each other's throat. ANd yet, now we spend more when there isn't the threat of global war???
I'm not saying we get rid of the military. I'm just saying that logically, it doesn't make sense for it to be so big. More money should be pumped into Intelligence and Counter Terrorism and Black Ops type stuff. Less should be spent on conventional military. And By Less, I still mean we maintain the largest military, ironically, we can still have the largest military force on the planet even if we cut by 25% which is very telling.
Lastly, I feel if we want to really defeat terrorism, instead of bombs we should be dropping I-phones and and I-macs and CD's of Miley Cirus and Taylor Swift and pumping in free-wi...
