JT Jag posted:What are the Dakotas doing right? Low population density and lower than the national average African-American population. I wouldn't call the latter "doing right," in as much as routine gun violence in America is mostly concentrated within African American communities of concentrated poverty. If you look at Chicago's crime stats and remove all the gun violence which occurs in communities of concentrated poverty, Chicago is one of the top 5 safest cities in America.

Radbot posted:Please explain how you'd implement "militant secularism", tia You undermine hawks and MIC lobbyists by getting the US/Russia/China to destroy Daesh with hydrogen/neutron weapons. Force all ME nations to come to the table and share peaceful nuclear technology/talent. The President gives a speech explaining that America's greatest strength has been science and secularity. Europe drove out Jewish physicists and psychoanalyists because of backwards thinking - the USA took them in. Instead of executing or enslaving Nazi rocket engineers we made them citizens and went to the moon. E=MC^2 is more real, true, and powerful than any words in a holy book.

The point is that saying "radical islamic terrorists" doesn't magically do anything and the policies proposed by the Republicans would, if anything, only inflame an already delicate situation. This is what I was talking about earlier when I called Ted Cruz a fuckwit policy debater and you're more or less proving a good example of it.

euphronius posted:"Obama isn't doing anything" is a media invention. It's hilarious the knots these right wing morons twist themselves into try and make some wierd point. Obama is both, "weak on terrorism and won't do anything" but is also preparing the FEMA Army to take all of your guns and deliver your mandatory AIDS injections...

The us can't unilaterally tucking take over and mulch Isis for two good reasons: 1. It would be horrifically expensive and long occupation that would be much better done multilaterally. 2. You got to get Russia on board.

Joementum posted:The amendment fails 47-52. To bad. NH and much of the Northeast is in the middle of heroin/opioid overdose crisis. The number of overdosed patients arriving in emergency rooms has doubled from last year in NH and the governor has called for a special session of the General Assembly to handle it. A member of my town zoning board was arrested last year for reselling prescription pills and there's been a lot of overdoses this year. But of course we cut our police's community outreach program.

TheDisreputableDog posted:Let's not provoke ISIS because they might... hate us more? It's not about "provoking ISIS" it's about painting Islam, and it's 1.3 billion followers world wide in a dumb poo poo light, idiot. Like saying "radical islamic terrorist" doesn't magically make oyur policy towards them change. It's just a dumb rear end talking point the right has came up with because they don't or can't admit that Obama is bombing the absolute gently caress out of them. In the days leading up to Paris, there had been something like 8000 total airstrikes flown in ISIS airspace over the last year, roughly 7000 of those were ours. We're confronting them at ever turn and engaged in a widespread campaign against them. In short, you're being a disingenuous, idiotic, no-information or a troll.

"Radical Islamic Terrorists" mainly exists because it lets the Islam stand out for those itching for the 10th Crusades, while the other parts soften enough that it can be claimed it's not on Islam itself. It's completely meaningless red meat for the base.
