    No, it's sad truth that you actually think that. What in his history, has shown he'd do that? What president's history has shown he'd do that? I know we love going to websites or listening to radio shows that back our views, but seriously, maybe it's time to have a reality check.

    I thought that Bush was (and is) a complete idiot, but even with my dislike of the man I wouldn't say something stupid about him like that. Dude, take off the blinders.

    I just fact checked because IF he said it, it would've been HUGE news. Like, all day, and of all posters, he wouldn't have been the one who posted it. Plus, it'd out of character for Obama. If anything, the people who voted for him wish he showed that much balls.

    Yeah, those are on par with him talking to a world leader and calling him a jackass and dick.

    You honestly think those are on the same level?

    It must be difficult to grasp and those straws.

    It goes to show the nature of the echo chambers. The left believes in some caricature of W that is based on a cartoon like character built up by talking bullshit about him. The right believes Obama is a Muslim born in Africa, talking bullshit about him.

    Has anyone on this board said the President is a Muslim or born in Africa in say, the last year or two? I don't read all the threads, but I don't recall much of that at all.

    That's funny, because it's from Obama's own biographical account from the '80s. That is from a bio that his agent "approved", so stop spreading lies.

    I think he was born in the USA. I also think he claimed he wasn't born in the USA to get foreign student aid and acceptance to the school while at Occidental and Harvard. Columbia, well, I'm not sure he ever set foot on campus. He's a fraud, and he's an American.

    My niece 'graduated' from Duke, yet only was on campus for two semesters. Money talks, bullshit walks. Who paid for Barry?

    14 Principled Anti-War Celebrities We Fear May Have Been Kidnapped

    Pechoras hit airplanes. Iskanders sink ships. They are controlled by the Syrian military, not Russian. That will increase their use. Russia would be more reserved, and Syria more desperate, since it's Syria's ass on the line, not Russia's. Russia warned NATO what would happen if they sent Patriots.

    The last time the U.S. fought a country with a foreign benefactor was Vietnam. Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan in the 2000s, Iraq again, Libya...no superpower helping them...no air force...easy police actions compared to the new Syria War.

    Unless you include the CIA's low-key resistances in the 80s, in Afghanistan and Central America. Those weren't intense wars.

    Yeah, because what you're talking about has anything to do with what I said.


    Questioning the birth place of the president, and implying their religion (which R's always try to say doesn't matter to them) is one that most Americans know little about is exactly the same as what you said.

    I see you have been called on your LIE already.

    Just wanted to pile on that your statement is garbage.

    "The Right" collectively do not believe what you claim they do.
