Disagreeing with Obama does not equal "hate" Old Guard.
Complaining about him in a thread about Sweden and crying about what his wife wears is hate.

I don't think Obama is handling it in our country. We have several national security agencies and local police and law enforcement agencies for that. Regardless this is a thread about something in Sweden, not the United States. I also strongly believe this is not done by ISIS.

I have no problem with that. But blaming the US president for what is happening in Sweden is pretty pathetic.

A lot of people voted for him. The slogan was "Hope" and he won. I am not surprised that people who were suckered in feel bad about it.

Don't worry, I don't HATE Obama, but I do not want him in the White House anymore.
Well he is there, you voted for him. The world does not revolve around you.

Wasn't healthcare his platform? Also I do not see him creating the divide, I see people like you adding to it.
Frankly the President has very limited power in the US. He cannot magically make the economy better nor can he stop terrorism....especially in SWEDEN!

They just arrested a suspected terrorist at one of the refugee shelters in Sweden. I don't think it will be the last as they are still looking for others suspected in a terror plot. Sweden is on high alert.
Changing my opinion won't change the facts. The facts being that we and 1/2 the world now have to adjust to yearly terrorist planned attacks. Forgive me for not wanting to.
Using death numbers to justify ignoring this problem doesn't fly with me either. When Mr. Prez states it's only 42 lives and compared to car accidents or gang shootings "it's really not that many" it makes my skin crawl.
What kind of leader demeans the lives of resent terrorist victims? Oh, at least it's only #? No biggie? Really?
No thanks. My opinion stands, it's mine and I'll keep it. You can go hump someone else's leg now.
Uh, let's compare the deaths by terrorists compared to death by fellow citizens. Why aren't you more concerned about the amount of violence done by citizens? You realize, based solely on the #'s, that you are more likely to die by a fellow citizen than by some terrorist group, right? Why aren't you concerned about it?

When you figure that out you may be happier.
Great post.

Let's compare deaths by shooting to deaths on the motorway.
Why aren't you more concerned by the amount of violence done on roadways? You realize, based solely on the #'s, that you are more likely to die in a car than by some gun-toting lunatic, right? Why aren't you concerned about it?
There is an easy answer for that, of course, just like there's an easy answer for your questions: Terrorism scares the person you were speaking more than road accidents and more than random gun-violence. He feels like there is something he can do about terrorism compared to acts of random violence.
If I were to guess, I would say you are less likely to encourage something be done about radical terrorism because you're afraid it will result in violence against a largely innocent minority group. If I were to guess, I would say he's less likely to encourage something be done about random gun violence because he's afraid it will result in tyranny and the stripping away of freedoms.
If you feel he's wrong about -this particular issue-, then explain to him why he's wrong -on this particular issue- and provide alternative solutions that are better than his. Saying there are other things which are more dangerous is a double-edged sword that can just as easily be used against you and is just as likely to change your mind as my redirection to car deaths was to change yours.
I did a search on your previous posts and am guessing you aren't likely to say, "You're right. Why was I wasting time on random gun violence when car deaths are far more pressing? Let's ban cars!", but feel free to tell me I'm wrong and I will dutifully feel silly.
LMAO! Very funny thefragile, very funny. ha ha Have fun with your buddies.
What's so funny about it? Why aren't you concerned about the level of violence in this country?
