As Americans and the country that claims to be leader of the free world I believe it is our foremost duty to be better than our enemies. To treat all human beings with respect. To treat them all the way we would like our own combatants treated. I do fault Obama for ordering so many drone strikes that cost civilian lives. It's one of his major weaknesses. The major weaknesses of both of our major political parties.
Legal or not, torture is wrong. As soon as we start treating others as less than human, we become a little less human ourselves. --- This isn't funny Dean, the voice says I'm almost out of minutes! ~Alexandra ... Copied to Clipboard!

Inviso posted...UInstinctGogeta posted...Inviso posted...Jakyl25 posted...Corrik posted... I'm just saying... You're someone who believes in being tough on radical Islamic terrorists, right? Maybe we, as a nation, shouldn't be making showy gestures designed to highlight just how shittily we want to treat one of the largest religions in the world, either by instituting an Islamaphobic travel ban, or by reneging on a deal with Iran for no real benefit to America, or by spitting in the face of Palestine by casually moving our embassy with little regard for the actual implications of such a move. Keep in mind, I'm not saying the crazy hard-liners that are all "Death to America" are ever going to be swayed in our favor. They're conservatives, and we all know how stubborn religious conservatives are. But maybe just maybe we shouldn't feed into their "Death to America" narrative via constant shitting on the entire group, thus giving reason for neutral Muslims who grew up in a globalizing world to take the violent assholes more seriously. --- Touch fuzzy.

"The Palestinians need a state that is contiguous and cohesive, and that allows them to prosper but any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel's identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognised and defensible borders.

Pulling out at this point does little to help America other than allowing Iran to restart their nuclear program in the knowledge that America's president hates them.

I do not think single payer healthcare is our government's "responsibility" to provide, but I do agree with going to that method as the best for our country. The importance is to offer equally to everyone. Just like living stipends. They are fine if EVERYONE receives them.

Just pointing this out from one year ago today:
5/16/2017 FIVETHIRTYEIGHT - Even The Biggest Scandals Cant Kill Party Loyalty Overall, though, the lesson from history is simple. In the wake of Comeys firing, Democrats are encouraging Republicans to put country over party. In making this call, they are essentially asking congressional Republicans to do something politicians historically have not: push for punishments and the potential removal of a president from their own party. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/even-the-biggest-scandals-cant-kill-party-loyalty/ One year later and it's still true: it's on America to vote for how they want impeachment hearings to go, not just count on the President's party to turn on the President. --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq ...
