LOL

And how do you do that?

Tell Huma that "the committe" has decided you gotta go.....here's your plane ticket?

It is easy to talk tough, but I would really like to know how Romney would get rid of "undesirable" Muslims.

What kinds of new laws is he going to enact to make that possible? What are the guidelines going to be?

Probably not a whole lot, but maybe just maybe, he will cut off the money that this administration gives to those not worthy of another dollar from the USA.............

Of Obama, Christians and crucifixions

Elibiary (above right) was later exposed by investigative journalist Patrick Poole as having copied sensitive documents from the database to give to media outlets for the purpose of advancing allegations of Islamophobia.
There are others, but it should be clear by these examples that the Muslim Brotherhood is firmly rooted within all departments under Barack Hussein Obama. Given the known objectives of the Muslim Brotherhood, their influence on domestic and foreign policy should not be difficult to accept.
As far as Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood goes, Obama announced his intention to bypass congress and provide $1.5 billion in American taxpayer funded aid to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. While it is true congress approved the financial aid with the stipulation that the U.S. State Department signed off on the deal, Obama stated that he would act outside of congress. In other words, the check was as good as written. The Clinton State Department has raised little objection despite the ruthless persecution by Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Based on the limited facts presented above, and there are many more untold, it should be clear who and what is behind Arab Spring, and the motives of the same. If Obama and his cabal of sycophants continue to promote Arab Spring as a success and tolerate the persecution of Christians, it should be clear what’s in store for the Christians and Jews of America.
The time for Christians and Jews in America and throughout the West to speak up is now. To quote Thomas Mann, “Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.”

Critics slam Obama's handling of Arab Spring - Washington Times


During the Arab Spring last year, President Obama pledged full U.S. support to those who risked their lives to reform dictatorial regimes across the Middle East. Now, the administration has closed the U.S. Embassy in Syria as government forces slaughter civilians and is grappling with the Egyptian military’s plan to hold trials for Americans accused of meddling in its internal affairs.
“On multiple fronts, the administration is playing catch-up to these situations,” said Robert Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “One lesson is the need for clarity. In Egypt, we were not clear enough with the military men early on. We have overplayed the principle that the new leaders were elected democratically and therefore we have to respect their wishes.

This is pretty silly.

"Standing with the Arab Spring" is not a basis for a women to vote for or against an American politician. That's really grasping at straws.

Furthermore, American support to entities in the Middle East is nothing new at all, and it's happened under Republican as well as Democratic administrations. America has given tons of support to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. America gave support to Bin Laden for a long time when it was politically expedient against the Soviets. Heck, we're supporting some questionable characters in Iraq and Afghanistan now.

And that leads to the critical point: American support of entities in the Middle East revolves around perceived political/diplomatic advantage. Politics makes strange bedfellows, and that applies to conservatives as well as liberals. The USA's involvement behind the scenes in the Arab Spring is a calculated risk. They know that they don't like the current totalitarian regimes; they're hoping that they can roll the dice and change the power structure into something that they can presumably better manipulate into something more amenable to American international interests. Not saying that it will ultimately work, but that's how it works - not some notion of whether or not Obama wants women to be subjugated by Arabs.

Finally, the fact that Obama has pursued a much more aggressive campaign against Islamic terrorists than Republicans ever did easily deflates the whole "Obama is siding the the enemy" BS. It just doesn't fly. More high-value terrorists have been killed in ballsy attacks than ever occurred under Bush.

So all told, what does all of this have to do with the vote of American women? Nothing much.

Yep, just keeping evidencing your own ignorance.

So how much money would you have us spend imposing democracy on other countries? We can't do it all for them. You'd think that our last couple of wars would have illustrated that for you quite clearly.

Woah woah woah. Geopolitics and history have no place in this thread.

If anyone wants Sharia law in this country, it's the Right-wing with their darlings like Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and the rest of those NO-choice idiots. The anti-gay and anti-choice measures they always try to push forward are clearly signs that they want a Christian Sharia Law in America.

This is why I'm a Libertarian...I can't support Democrats and their Paternalism, and I certainly can't support the hypocrisy and insanity of the Republicans.

What part of this did I not understand? The poster didn't say anything about some conspiracy about using Sharia law to put fear in people. They said that Republicans wanted a Christian Sharia Law in America. And I don't know what you are talking about with the "sweetie thing". I gues you think I'm someone else. But if your only arguements is to misinterpret the comment that I was commenting on and pretend that I'm another poster, then I've already wasted my time returning a comment to you.
