If the US wants to get rid of Assad I'd like to hear what their follow-up plan is. Until they have that I will assume the US strategy is full of hot air. That no one has provided a feasible "day after" plan for the ousting of Assad makes me think there isn't one.
History will sooner or later sweep the European Union away without mercy.

I think it's going to be a pretty ironic if Russia keeps pushing intervention in the Middle East and becomes a priority target of ISIS over us.

Doesn't Russia have their own reasons to fight terrorist groups in the region? A large part of their heroin problem is because the terrorist groups flood it into Russia correct?

i don't recall the points about it; iirc they believe the climate change is going to cause more and bigger hurricanes on average, though obviously it says little about any individual case. not sure if the effects of that have hit yet, or if it's just estimates on the future.

not entirely sure what your other remarks are about, don't entirely understand what the drudge nonsense is, so just ignoring that issue.

A guy whose website gets a billion views a month is saying that the government is conspiring to exaggerate the strength of a natural disaster to make people think climate change is real. Hopefully no one will buy into it and not evacuate.

I think the staunch individualism ingrained in the older generations is partly to blame for that. There is this myth out there that your personal opinion is just as valid a position as anyone else's, no matter if they are more knowledgeable on the subject matter or not. Similarly, this is also why on social issues the older generations tend to hold the views they do while millennials and younger prefer a more communal outlook than an individualist one, so they tend to be very progressive on social issues.

There are some extremely high quality "Obama is soft on terrorists, we need a stone cold killer like Putin to put fear in their hearts" memes out there. They claim that Putin had a captured terrorist dismembered in the 90s and no Muslim has attacked since. I guess Beslan and the Moscow Theatre attacks didn't happen in the minds of the Putin worshipping right. Although he does get a lot of "don't give a fuck, will not negotiate with terrorists" cred for the way he filled the theatre with poison gas, killed all the hostages before the terrorists could and then ordered special forces to assault. He took away all their leverage so they couldn't threaten anyone and could only die. But even so, I think I'll stick with weak Obama.

The Obama administration has taken out quite a lot of terrorists, they just don't happen to make a giant spectacle out of it.

A statewide prayer initiative focusing on the oil fields and beleaguered energy industry will culminate Oct. 13 with an annual breakfast in downtown Oklahoma City.

The Rev. Tom Beddow of Ada, coordinator of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma's Oil Patch Chaplains ministry, said he would like to see similar gatherings around the state as people pray for individuals affected by current economic woes, with the energy industry at the center.

“The oil field is hurting right now,” he said.

“We're asking churches all over Oklahoma to open their doors, put on a pot of coffee and pray for the oil field, and not only for the oil field but the state, because the economy of our state is so connected to the oil field.”

Jeff Hubbard, with Oilfield Christian Fellowship- Oklahoma City, agreed.

“We have a saying: The oil field trickles down to everyone,” he said.

Hubbard said Gov. Mary Fallin has proclaimed Oct. 13 as Oilfield Prayer Day to raise awareness about the initiative.

Every time someone say the Democrats are going to the right, I think "fuck if we can get the Republicans somewhere close to the center, I'll take it." Fucking look at that shit.

I honestly blame the democrats shifting more and more to the right for the GOP's problems. The dems are appealing more and more to moderate and liberal conservatives while leaving the gop nothing but the crazies left to vote for them.

seems like an odd thing to blame someone for.
shoudln't the GOP be able to do a better job of appealing to conservatives than the liberal party?

also, talking about liberal conservatives sounds rather odd for american parlance.
