“Prior to yesterday. I would bet dollars to donuts that 95% of Americans couldn’t have told you what Aleppo is.”
I don’t expect the candidates to know every single city in the world of significance, nor every single leader of every tiny craphole country, but I expect them to at least know as much about foreign affairs as I do.
Gary Johnson thinks Boko Haram are the guys who recorded “A Whiter Shade of Pale.”
While I disagree with Johnson and would never vote for him because of his embrace of BLM, TPP, and open borders, this is exactly what is wrong with our government.
I do not want a president who knows every damn dirka dirka muhammed jihad prince, city, and term. The precise problem is people who claim they are steeped in the dune coon jibber jabber. An America president should know OUR country, OUR constitution, OUR needs.
If they are firm in that, then it doesn’t matter about Alleppo.
Johnson was very clear and expressed that Syrian rebels and isis were interbred.
All the fainting couch and pearl clutching over Allepo is an establishment parlor game. I see nothing that should interest an American president there.
Why would a Libertarian care? They are Isolationists. He plans to cut Defense spending.
This. I am a news junky as most of us are so we know what/where Aleppo is, but the vast majority of Americans don’t care nor do we want to be involved in Syria.
He feels shame since Harambe would have given a better answer.
I spend all day every day following world events and politics and I couldn’t have told you what Aleppo is.
Great
“He isn’t running for President of Syria”
Exactly. I remember when we went weeks and months without hearing anything about the middle east. That’s what we need, is to lose interest in that part of the world. I’m sick of the news being all Islamic crap, 24/7.
Its almost refreshing to see someone doesn’t live and breathe arab crap all day.
“a) It was MSNBC, so who saw it “
They played the crap out of it on CNN this morning.
“What is a leppo?” Oh c’mon, everyone knows that’s someone who has leprosy.
After years of jumping up and down in protest every time Bill Maher claimed to be a "libertarian," the Libertarian Party actually nominated a guy who is, essentially Bill Maher: a liberal who wants to smoke dope and not got to jail. That's the extent of his "libertarianism."
He doesn't believe in the Bill of Rights, he doesn't believe in RKBA, doesn't believe in Due Process, thinks the Civil Rights Act trumps the Constitution, thinks foreign treaties trump the Constitution, thinks the UN is a great institution, believes illegals should have access to generous social welfare programs, and on, and on, and on.
None of those positions is anything that ANY libertarian supports. Even the people at Cato have pretty much disavowed him. Their executive director recently said: "Social liberal and fiscal conservative, isn't my definition of libertarian." But Johnson isn't even a fiscal conservative. He's a liberal, a fool, and a wanker. But he does have some name recognition, which is what the LP is terribly desperate for.
Then tell us why Alleppo matters at all? the Syrian government bombs rebels there. The media gives us sad sad stories about people who are making dirt stew and why mean ol’ Assad should stop bombing the rebels as they study Jefferson and Madison.
Beyond that, Applepopo just doesn’t matter at all, tactically, politically, or anything.
You may be right that 95% of Americans couldn’t tell you what Aleppo was. However, 95% of Americans aren’t their party’s nominee for President. This guy has smoked one to many Marijuana Cigarettes. He’s Toast !
I admit to GIB Aleppo.
GIB: google it bitch
But now I am a bit more informed.
This could just be another GOTCHA! by the idiotic, biased, loathsome”press.” Just like when they asked Trump about the “triad.” Some might argue that he should have known what the term meant, but I would be pretty sure that 95% of Americans did not know what the term meant. The moderator (”interrogator” when it comes to the press with conservatives) should never use cryptic or little-known descriptions. An explanation of the subject would serve much better.
And for all those libtards still at FR....’plain that
“a) It was MSNBC, so who saw it
b) It was Johnson, so who was watching except his diehard supporters
c) Most of his supporters probably didn’t know what a leppo was, either.”
Still struggling with how social media works I see . . .
And open the borders, and ‘fix’ obozozcare, and control guns, and do everything else Hillary would do
The libertarian movement has been taken over by potheads and pacifists.
