Now i'm really scared. I knew there was something wrong about Obama. I mean, 9 / 11 was maybe a conspiracy to start the Iraq war then to make people hate Bush and the republicans and finally to have a communist in disguise elected ?

Now I just feel more anti Mccain because this sort of outrageous slander reminds me of his current campaign.


Well, almost everything said about Obama that is bad is considered crazy by Obama believers.

You do realize it is called bias and is perfectly human. I might be scared if we have a cycle without this sort of shit. It would be nice but I much prefer humanity to sanity that would provide. (never thought I would say that)

Well, actually, I've spent some time correcting truthers on some obvious flaws, like they point to the tower falling and time it without realizing that the dust makes it impossible to see when the actual building hits the ground.

A national police force as large as the army is not a conspiracy, its in an actual fricken speech. It would at the very least be extremely expensive.

At the most, with other things including, it hints at some scary possibilities. But I only included that since you made the comparison. It could happen. Its happened before. WHO KNOWS. McCain could do it!

Even conservative blogs have acknowledged that he didn't mean a national police force (and he didn't say it either.) He said 'civilian national security force' and in political terms, national security is an extremely vague term meaning essentially anything that improves your country. It's a somewhat statist view of geopolitics but it's much less hardline than everyone before him, which is refreshing. He's really just talking about soft power and diplomacy.

The speech is right here.


If you actually watch it (I doubt you will, but others might) it's clear he's talking about civilian activism. Right before the statement, he talks about expanding AmeriCorps/PeaceCorps/etc. and right after he talks about increasing the number of foreign service officers, etc.

Here's a good article on it.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/04/magazine/04obama-t.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1&hp&oref=slogin&oref=login

Unless you're a major hawk, it's difficult not to appreciate his stance. Like the article says, the majority of foreign policy experts (actual analysts/academics, not TV personalities) are in his camp. I'm pretty sure the rest of the world is glad that he's talking diplomacy first.

I actually hadn't read it before, but the way he talks about Kennan and others makes me <3 him so much more.

evandi, I wish wholeheartedly that you suffer immensely. I hope you somehow get dissabled, burned, or horrificly disfigured. I would hope that some evils befall you that effects you emotionally, but it appears you have no soul or conscience to speak of.

Making a vague comparison with an incredibly weak symantic relationship in order to get attention and troll in a thread shows your lack of maturity. Do you really need attention that bad?

Edit* Please do the world a favor and kill yourself you pathetic waste of life.

That is the speech, and quite possibly the very youtube video, I got that from.

I don't want to listen to the whole thing, but I believe he says that it is to be as large and well founded as the military.

That implies quite a huge army inside our borders for some reason.

What reason? I have no idea. It honestly on paper sounds a lot like the SS right?

It sounds exactly like the SS in so far as that small amount of detail given.

The nytimes is not a conservative blog. They defend him and blast Palin at every chance they get. They are almost as partisan as daily kos.

This wasn't my original argument. I just threw this out there when someone jokingly compared Obama to Stalin.

Yeah, but I owe him some credit because I wouldn't have found this Obama Soft Power article without him. It's making me appreciate Obama's FP stance even more. Savio, you should read it.

Right. You ignore people who disagree with your political views. You don't debate them.

You hide in a bubble and only listen to like-minded people.

You brought up a comparison asking me if Obama was like stalin. Obviously Stalin and Hitler had similar characteristics. If I point out that he is like Hitler he is also like Stalin. But I was not seriously making a point, just merely bringing something up.

EDIT: Whoops. I mean YOU brought up the comparison, not SOMEONE

I said that at the very LEAST, it would cost a whole lot of money.

But he uses the term National Security which implies more than Americorps. It could have been meant as something in addition to what he already brought up.
