Even the language is rediculously archaic.  "#1 Geopolitical Enemy?"  It's Early Reagan Manichaeism. 

[Ed Anger]

I see spellus getting his slavic marching orders from DG. I'm on to you two.

[Queequeg]

My Russian is shitty enough right now that it'd take 20 minutes for me to decode them.

[CountDeMoney]

Who's our #1 geopolitical enemy, considering both power and ferocity?  Whether Russia is #1 is debatable, but it being in the top 2 isn't.

China.  Russia is more obstructionist than tangible threat.  They've become what the Chinese were 20 years ago: a pain in the ass in the Security Council, nothing more.*






*Unless, of course, you're a former member of the Soviet Union.

I can't believe GOPtards are running with the "you didn't build this" remark - to anyone who saw the speech, it's obvious what he meant (i.e. that roads, infrastructure etc. which helps businesses wasn't built by the business owners). Can't they really latch on to something remotely true?

What are you talking about? Business owners pay taxes, which are used among other things to build infrastructure.
Therefore we all built that, including the business owners.

Besides, in the speech it was clear to me that he didn;t meant the infrastructures, but the business itself. He was clearing saying that success didn't belong to the business owners.

It was truly ridicoulus.

You're confused, Siege.  Leave English grammar to English-speakers.

Well, nukes aside, no one can threaten us, so obstructionists move to the top of the pile.  Russia has shown time and again that no piece of shit is too distasteful to support, if it means sticking it to US.  The only exception is Qaddafi, and that was only because Vlad was busy taking a difficult shit when Medvedev got called up by the coalition.

[Razgovory]

Obama has only worked in the public sector, and as thus highly suspectible of just not having a clue about the real world

Funny, you could say the same thing about the Private sector.

I don't think anybody says that.

Well perhaps not on the Reservation where you live.

Six of one, half dozen of the other.  The Chinese will fuck with us whenever it serves their interests, whereas the Russians seem to have decided to just fuck with us on everything even when it doesn't serve any of their interests.  The problem is that it serves China's interests (or, rather, the interests of China's rulers) to fuck with us on pretty much everything.

So you have a Presidential Candidate who believes that Magical Jews came over in an almond-shaped boat in 600 BCE and colonized Central America without leaving a trace and that a randomly chosen Utah octogenarian talks to God, and he's the one with a clue about the "real world" because he worked in the private sector 15 years ago?  Even if you ignore the Mormonism (which is stupid, cause it's  toxic) this is the man who said that Russia is our #1 geopolitical enemy and would outsource our Mid-East Policy to Avigdor Lieberman.  He doesn't have a rat's cunthair of a clue about the "real world".

Tribalism Just because I voiced a concern regarding Obama, it doesn't automatically mean that I kiss the ground that creepy robot mormon walks on.

In America, it is one or the other. This isn't a European system where you have a dozen candidates. This is the Greens and the Blues. Simple as that. It's a line Tamas. The best you can do is stand on it and be undecided but once you step to one person's side you are by definition opposed to the other.

[Admiral Yi]

You're confused, Siege.  Leave English grammar to English-speakers.

Just because your guy ad-libbed and fucked up his line is not good cause to insult Seeb.  And if you're going to anyway, it would help if the insults made sense.

Well, technically, you don't even vote on the candidate do you? You vote on which guy in your area will get to vote on the candidate.
