It actually started before that. In 1937, Obama met with Neville Chamberlain and convinced him that we needed to appease the Nazis and ISIS so that they would leave us alone. Then, in 1941,he stood on an aircraft carrier and proclaimed "Mission Accomplished." The next day, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Obama tried to tax and spend his way out of the war, allowing the Nazis (National Socialists) and their Soviet (United Soviet Socialist RepublicDemocrat) allies to conquer most of Europe. Then, in 1945, we elected Ronald Reagan, who told Hitler to "tear down" the Berlin Wall, which Hitler and Stalin had built around Berlin. Everybody mocked him, but because Reagan was a manly conservative, Hitler immediately killed himself and Stalin dismantled the Soviet Union.

Then Reagan personally carried two nuclear weapons to Japan and blew up Hiroshima and Nagasaki while shouting "Ebola Gay" (referring, of course, to Obama's use of Ebola and gay rights to distract people from his failures). Everybody stood up and clapped because Reagan had restored peace to the world. Unfortunately, Obama had already fled to Kenya and was in the process of founding ISIS.

And that Ronald Reagan's name was Albert Einstein.

I can't think of a better way to phrase it, but there's only ever been one Senate. It's a continuous body, unlike the House. Every cycle it's part of the 44th or whatever Congress, but that's still not the same label.

The "Obama won't say 'Islam'!!" meme that the right is having fun with right now reminds me of when people say, "Well, you know, blacks commit crimes at a higher rate." So what? What am I supposed to do with that information? What can I do with that information besides, I dunno, be racist? The odds of any given black person mugging me or any given muslim bombing me are super loving low, so I don't see why I should prejudge every member of those groups I meet. Are they suggesting we just... get rid of Islam, or Blackness, for those things cause crimes? Do these people think anything through for more than half a second?

I am also pretty sure that it's one of those memes we don't have to get too worked up about it because it is convincing NOBODY in the middle of anything but republican bigotry. People aren't idiots. They know Obama kills the poo poo out of Islamic terrorists constantly, and don't really care what words he uses to describe it.

I wrote, and then deleted, a long rant I was going to post before thinking better of it since this thread has enough angry reactions to DbD as it is (the battle of tours was over three centuries before the start of the First Crusade).

Yeah I just looked it up and he's talking about the early Reconquista. Which involved Muslim Moors, not Middle Eastern Muslims. gently caress. also Tours is like 250km from Paris. That's not even remotely "Near Paris" in a modern mentality with rapid transit!

Like I said, long angry rant. Not the right Muslims (indeed ones considered schismatics by the ruling Caliphate back in the Middle East if I remember right), not even close to the right time, not near Paris at all. But repetitive angry ranting makes this thread worse, so I abstained.
