Lyndon Johnson said we were in VEET-naam to “win the hearts and minds of the people”.

COL George S. Patton said, “Grab them by the balls. The hearts and minds will follow.”

“Truly the Neville Chamberlain of our time.”

Chamberlain was mistaken and somewhat naive in his hopes for peace. Obama is deliberate in his withdrawal from active response to threat. He is not mistaken, he is purposefully putting his narcissistic legacy over the safety and freedom of America.

“Not a fair comparison, Neville Chamberlain loved his country, and deep down knew war with Nazi Germany was inevitable, but that Britain was nowhere near close to being ready for war in 1938.”

That is true. And when Churchill became PM he kept Chamberlain in his Cabinet.

That’s weird, because I thought we defeated the Nazis by KILLING them and BREAKING all their stuff.

I wonder what one of Obama’s Beer Summits would have done?

Well, my take: they’re just like liberals. You must first get their attention and get them to listen. And that is something that they will never, ever be willing to do.

He’s not the dumbest man to ever hold the office. He’s actually smart and devious enough to know his audience and how incredibly DUMB they are. Democrat politicians are smart enough to know how to manipulate their ignorant, pathetic base.

Of course the biggest problem with that statement is that 0bama has pretty much the same idea as ISIS.

Then why not simply disband the armed forces and pull out your pen, to write your tomes?

Oh, the left has been working diligently toward the first part.

No, Chamberlain was just naive and not out to destroy his nation.

No, it clearly explains why the Republicans lost to Comrade Obama and his Marxist campaigns in 2008 and 2014. THe reds out-thought the Romneyites and their weak sister political advisors like Karl Rove.

I’m thinking MOAB.

If you see an ISIS Flag, drop the Bomb. Just don’t mix it up the Dildo Flag they flew at the Gay Pride Parade.

Then again... LOL

that’s not what is happening in Obama’s America. Force is needed to push Obama’s “better idea”

“This challenge of countering violent extremism is not simply a military effort,” the president said. “Ideologies are not defeated with guns but better ideas and more attracting and more compelling vision.”

He’s Harfing!

Many Islamist who end up terrorists came from rich families who could afford to send them overseas to Leftist Universities
