80% of the people believe in outlawing all abortions? Really? Can't even come up with a mildly plausible statistic? The only people I know who are pro-life are middle aged white dudes that I wouldn't talk to if they weren't family. Almost everyone else I know is pro-choice. I do live I a college town so maybe that's why, but... 80%?

I don't think people should get abortions because they're bored, but I think it should be legal, even if they have dumb reasons. Once you start making little rules on what reasons are good and which ones aren't, you've established that it's okay to start making those decisions for other people.

Dr. Arbitrary posted:I don't think people should get abortions because they're bored, but I think it should be legal, even if they have dumb reasons. The whole "for any reason" justification feeds into the myth of women who don't use any form of birth control, have sex regularly and gets regular abortions to deal with the consequences, so they are getting away with being sluts scot-free! Of course the fact that having a major medical procedure so frequently would be punishment enough, both financially and physically, for these women doesn't enter into their line of thinking. So, yeah, I agree that there is too much red tape surrounding the availability of abortions, but saying that you support abortions "for any reason" just feeds into their fear-mongering.

Some of it probably stems from the fact that everyone, even the international community, threw way too much love at him just for getting elected the first time. The world was just tired of Bush and the GOP and everyone got a little too happy, which made the right wing nuts retract into their shell even further. Seriously, even the Nobel committee through a Peace Prize at him for "Getting Elected". It's odd what will and will not stick in the minds of someone that extreme and stubborn, especially if it lets them build a "better" strawman opponent to mock.

To be fair, the fact that he hadn't murdered anybody at the time of the award puts him head and shoulders above some other winners. Of course, LL101 criticizes Obama for not wanting to go to war enough (except when he does, and then he's a warmongering dictator).

It evaporated extremely quickly, but for a few months there, he could basically do no wrong. People were so loving sick of George W. Bush that whoever won the Democratic nomination was pretty much guaranteed near-universal global support for a brief period after winning the election, solely on the grounds of not being Bush.

As a non American I was quite excited to see a black dude win too. There was a genuine feeling that maybe, just maybe, America would go "Hey, if they'll vote for a black dude just to keep a messed up white dude out of office maybe we should probably look in the mirror". Instead, we got what amounts to GWB in blackface and a doubling down on the derp.

As you're non-American, I'll give you a pass for referring to a black man as wearing blackface. It's hard for me to imagine a situation where it would be anything but offensive, and this definitely does not qualify as an appropriate one.

It's exactly this. I called Obama a center-right corporate apologist the other day and my friend tried to tell me that he was the most communist person on the planet. I told him he wouldn't recognize communism if it came to America and liberated the means of production. Seriously, this country has such a rightward slant that anybody to the left of Richard Nixon is a pinko. Ninja edit: Then he tried to tell me that Democrats only care about the big corporations. I couldn't even respond to that.

It's pretty hilarious when you break it down in terms of equivalence: Why won't the commander in chief of the military pay respect to the lowest rung on the ladder (I know that they aren't E-1s or whatever)? What an arrogant BASTARD!! Why won't the CEO of McDonalds pay respect to the cashier jockey making minimum wage? He's the CEO, he has more important things to do than deal with wage slaves.

If any of the military personnel assigned to the White House ever feel like they're not getting enough respect from the Commander in Chief, they should definitely put in a request to transfer. There are no shortage of Marines, Sailors, Soldiers and Airmen who would jump at the chance to hold an umbrella or open a door for the President.

Fair enough, I can certainly understand how people who live outside America don't see much effect, especially if they're in a country where we use drones for spying and assassination. But at least Obama hasn't dragged his allies into invading the wrong country and staying there for 5 years out of pride. Maybe you have a different opinion, but to me it seems like Obama has returned the US to our usual bad policies rather than George W's colossally horrible ones. Of course, my conservative family are Limbaugh lovers, so this Thanksgiving I get to hear about how Obama is a big weenie who won't defend America and is busy surrendering all over the world

Obama may not be pushing some of the stupid stuff Bush did (Social Security privatization) but he's happily continuing a large number of Bush's policies while pushing into scary new territory (his war on whistleblowers/drone attacks in Yemen)

If you're a civilian, even if you're the Commander-in-Chief, you don't have to return a salute given to you, and it's no disrespect not to. Tradition is only Presidents that have served in the military return salutes given to them by members of the armed forces, and Presidents that have never served do not; I believe that Obama's actually gone on record as saying that he specifically doesn't return salutes because he feels that, having never served, he hasn't earned the right to.
