PROBLEM: Comment: That's funny, with Obama snubbing Israel? As usual, you've got it backwards. Just like the Jews who voted for Obama in 2008. When speaking today; TEL AVIV Dec 30, 2016—Israel’s political shift to the right and growing support for building settlements made it easier for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to respond sharply to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s parting peace-plan speech, but some here are concerned he is counting too heavily on a friendlier U.S. in a Trump presidency...Welcome to Reality, brought to you from Obama?

“You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling.” General "Mad Dog" Mattis

PROBLEM: Comment: If liberals are so concerned about slavery they should protest in the middle east, china, southeast asia and the african continent.  There is plenty of slavery going on there right now.  But, they won't go because they are cowards who's goal it is to destroy America and everything it stands for.  Let me remind the liberal nitwits that it was America who led the world in the elimination of slavery.  First vermont in 1777.  Then The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807.  1862 - U.S. President Abraham Lincoln proclaims emancipation of slaves with effect from January 1, 1863; 13th Amendment of U.S. Constitution follows in 1865 banning slavery.

Non-threat
