GOP takeover of Congress would mean 'hand-to-hand combat,' Obama warns

Reporting from Washington — A Republican majority in Congress would mean "hand-to-hand combat" on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy, President Obama warned Thursday.

Speaking on Michael Baisden's syndicated radio show, Obama also made a direct appeal to African Americans about the importance of the November vote, even though he's not on the ballot himself.

"The reason we won [in 2008] is because young people, African Americans, Latinos -- people who traditionally don't vote in high numbers -- voted in record numbers. We've got to have that same kind of turnout in this election," he said. "If we think that we can just vote one time, then we have a nice party at Obama's inauguration, and then we can kind of sit back and suddenly everything's going to change – that's just not how it works."

I’ll take you literally, big streetfighter President Jackass.

Which party likely has more military veterans?

And which party is more likely to wipe the floor with the other?

Don’t threaten combat unless you are sure you are going to win.

This clown sure likes to paint pictures of violence. To bad he is a sissy.

Where is my hart? Must have missed that organ in anatomy class. I truly hate him and the democrat party and I don’t care about anybody else’s opinion on hate and sin. I hate him and his party for what they are doing to destroy the Constitution and the Republic and I hate him as a truly dangerous, degenerate and evil Nazi POS who hates our country and Americans in general. Yes, hatred is the correct term.

>HATE is a sin.

Incorrect.
Amos 5:15 — Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
Proverbs 8:13 — To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
Psalm 97:10 — Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Zechariah 8:16-17 — These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; do not plot evil against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this,” declares the LORD.

And if you’re one of those who think that the Old Testament is less relevant, here’s a New Testament verse that says the same:
Romans 12:9 — Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Hand-to-hand combat with liberals?

In the words of GWB, "Bring it on!"

There is the logical, emotional, spiritual and physical dimension.

Over and over, I have told and told and told people that once you resort to physical violence in an argument, you’ve lost your point. This is assuming I am not talking about actual war, which is a different matter.

It’s a tough concept to get my arms around the idea that a sitting President believes in setting the entire country up for this, politically or not. Just to speak of it.

I BIND YOU, Satan and all your demons, from putting this idea and spirit of civil strife out there among the people here in America. God Almighty, please turn Your Wrath from this country. We have all fallen so short of Your Glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

There’ll be hand to hand combat if the GOP doesn’t take over the Congress.

Well, that was an educated response - but I fall back on my training.

The emotion of “hate” - the dislike of someone so intense that you would kill them on sight - is a sin.

Who told you to hate was a sin?
‘Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with a perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. (Ps.139:21-22)

You are spot on!

I was going to write these exact (nearly) thoughts and read your post.

Much better than I could have ever typed and dead accurate.

My friends, neighbors, and I are getting ready for the battle ahead. Not only will it be a doozy but will decide the fate of our Nation.
