I remember early on in the Obama administration, Obama was so proud of himself as he banned “torture” and banned waterboarding, saying we need to live up to our values and all that. Which ties in with how he says we will defeat terror by the example of our ideals, etc.
I hope this comes up in political debates. Are people like ISIS really inspired if they see us live up to some lofty ideal??? Will this really create within them a compassion, and a love of humanity which will stop them from killing us??? Really?? Let’s have that debate.
We are having that debate right now. It is why the establishment just as much as the Dems are shaking in their boots at the possibility of a Trump presidency. Do you think Donald Trump will continue to get our soldiers killed and maimed with the outrageous ROE they are suffering under because of Obama? Hell NO! I can put up with his little warts because he is a PATRIOT! His HEART is in the RIGHT PLACE!
When I think of Obama, even Neville Chamberlain seems acceptable.
