We need to spend money on military now more then ever before.
With Russia growing its military thanks for Clinton and all the other nuts we need more not less.
How about stopping welfare and built us even a more powerful, larger, top notch military.
Obama even wants to disarm us from our own protection.

How stupid is this freak?

MUSLIM OBAMA SAYS IN HIS BOOK HE’S ON THE SIDE OF MUSLIMS - FACT, not opinion. From Obama's own book:

“In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans … have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging,” he laments. “I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

That is what Barack Obama wrote in his book, “Audacity of Hope.”

I didn't write it - Obama did. Obama wants to side with Muslims if there is a terror attack. That is because Obama sided with Odinga, a Islamic candidate in Kenya, and because Obama was raised in Islam and then became a "Christian" for political reasons.


I do NOT see why people are denying that Obama was saying that he will stand with Muslims (not Christians, not Jews, not Hindus, not anyone else, not Americans), if there is another terror attack - what Obama calls a "shift in political winds in an ugly direction" after "9/11".

Typical loon idea when we need our military to be large, strong and fully ready this loon wants to cut it down.
Sure he will stand with muslims, fact is he will be their inside man.
Obama has stated that he will methodically dismantel the US armed forces in a time when Russia, Iran and China are all INCREASING their military strength.

Watch Obama himself:
YouTube - Obama Will: Gut Our Military, "Deep Cuts"

In this vide, Obama says he will eliminate Nuclear Weapons, in a time when Iran and Russia are building up a nuke arsenal.... how does it make any sense to weaken the US military in a time when our enemies are streghthening their militaries?!?!

Obama.... not ready.

The title of the thread is not a lie. It is in Obama's own book - Obama will side with Muslims:

Once again, I quote:

“In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans … have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging,” he laments. “I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

When Russia is invading other countries, trying to return to the old Soviet Republic, China is improving its aging military, when North Korea is still helping Syria to build nuclear weapons, and Iran is threatening WW III.... WHY WOULD OBAMA WANT TO DISMANTLE THE US MILITARY?!?!?!

Obama's words speak for themselves:
YouTube - Obama Will: Gut Our Military, "Deep Cuts"

THis shows Obama doesn't get. A Commander-in-Chief (President) should understand the growing world threat.

Obama doesn't get the threat. He says Iran is a tiny country, not a threat to the US. He says Ruissia and Georgia are in "equal terms as to blame" for the Russian invasion.

Obama is not ready.

Fun2Day, do you agree with the WWII Japanese interment camps?

How about pograms against the Jewish in Europe at the turn of the century?

And the Communist witch hunts during the unfortunately McCarthy era?

You understand the principle behind not demonizing everyone from a particular group because trouble and devastation came from another, very specific, very extremist bunch who have a particular geographical background in common, or a particular skin tone or way of dress or religion?

If an American strapped a bomb to his chest and detonated himself on London Bridge, and you were vacationing in England at the time, would you be okay with being arrested? Oh, excuse me. Detained and questioned?

Welfare? Your candidates love welfare!! Alaska get's money from Oil companies, and Senator McCain is a deregulator who's watched the Economy flow past him for years into the current system we the taxpayers are bailing out.

Half of the posts in this thread are off topic. More un-sourced slander MOD CUT. Do you have a page number in the Senator's book so we can read the passage for ourselves?

The thread is off it's own topic. The title of this thread should be 'I'm going to post something that doesn't have anything to do with the title of this thread'

MOD CUT

John McCain’s own budget plan - the one that he claims will reform Washington – opposes the Future Combat System and claims he would cut $160 billion in spending . McCain’s plan submitted in July 2008 to the Washington Post specifically claims that balancing the budget “requires slowing outlay growth to 2.4 percent. The roughly $470 billion dollars (by 2013) in slower spending growth come from reduced deployments abroad ($150 billion; consistent with success in Iraq/Afghanistan that permits deployments to be cut by half -- hopefully more), slower discretionary spending in non-defense and Pentagon procurements ($160 billion; there are lots of procurements -- airborne laser, Globemaster, Future Combat System -- that should be ended and the entire Pentagon budget should be scrubbed).” In fact, Senator McCain has long been an opponent of the Future Combat System. [Washington Post, 7/14/08. The Hill, 4/05/05]
