I'm really struck by the vicious attacks on the President of the United States in this forum. I sure as hell hope you have taught your children and grandchildren to be a little more respectful. It is no wonder that our police officers get no respect from young adults today if this is what they see from the adults in their lives. I can only assume some of you were breast fed and weened too early to have that much hate. The drumbeat critizing this president for not sending more troups into the middle east is not at all logical. I've seen my share of Wounded Warriors coming home without arms, legs, not able to feed themselves, or worse. I can explain the President's strategy so even this group should understand it. Wait I take that back.

First I see nothing anywhere close to vicious about any attacks on the President.

I might add that I oppose, and have opposed almost all of this Presidents policies and would not criticize him in the manner being done by some.

Having said that however, your alluding to my children and grandchildren and having respect for police officers.

It is difficult to respond to a poster who thinks that the disrespect paid to police officers has anything in anyway with disrespect for this President. To me, you comment is so uncalled for, so inaccurate and frankly so insincere, it it were not so offensive it should be ignored. FRANKLY, had our current administration pushed the family principles stronger than the other issues he decided to put in the forefront, we would be much better off now.

Your post was an attempt to once again try and take the high road in a devious manner. It is exactly like...if you are against the treaty with Iran you are for war....if you oppose the ACA you want no health care for the poor....if you find things like Ferguson offensive then you must be racist and so on.

The drumbeat you refer to is not what you describe at all. It is a drumbeat to do anything. We have been told for over 3 years about a coalition, which obviously did not/does not exist. People are scared; that may not resonate with you but it is a real thing that needs to be addressed. Why has our President not taken to the airways to speak to us about what is happening without the core of the message being "those stupid terrorists, dumb, politics only Republicans"...how about talking to the American people without the political drivel.

I understand that an ally has been attacked. I understand that the message from the administration is different depending on whom is talking. I understand that the President seems more obsessed as you appear to be with what is said about him before the security of the country.

Listen, I know what he thinks is right. I honestly do. I, nor anyone has criticized him strongly on this issue until Paris.

If you feel all comfortable with HOW the vetting is going (we have already lost track of some of them) and what the process exactly is; if you feel comfortable when Ben Rhodes tells you it cannot happen here, but others in the same administration say it can and will, so be it. Everyone is either not as comfortable.

And your ludicrious statement about respect not being shown because someone shows disrespect for this President is just so naive and centered on what appears to be idolization of your party and President Obama.

Dear Guest: You are spot on. This poster uses "vicious attacks" when what posters have advanced are "honest criticisms" of this incompetent leader of the free world.

Perhaps this poster should be reminded that the progressive have did and continue to advance vicious attacks against George Bush and Dick Cheney demanding they be tried for war crimes and other such vicious lies.

As to to disrespect for police officers the only people I see protesting police are progressives, Black Lives Matter, LGBT crowd and yes Obama

Personal Best Regards:

You are entitled to your opinion, like anyone else. I teach my children and grandchildren that this president is NOT indicative of a normal presidency. I tell them to respect the police, military, religious clergy and adults, etc. Your lame attempt to criticize the majority for not respecting the president is pathetic. Your liberal use of the term "hate" where it does not fit the definition is also ridiculous. Yes, I have no respect for this weak and divisive president, that has temper tantrums like a petulant child when the world doesn't bow in adoration of his presence. You say you seen your "share" (??) of wounded warriors, but it's obvious that you haven't served to see them wounded or killed in action. When you do, then come back and you will qualify to speak of them. Until then, you too can bow to them and praise them for keeping your country safe for you. This is MY opinion, which I have EARNED the right to make my comments. So, if you don't like the way someone speaks about your messiah in D.C. then maybe you should investigate why the majority feels this way. Maybe you will learn something. I pity you and your type.

"The drumbeat critizing this president for not sending more troups into the middle east is not at all logical."

"PRESSED ABOUT his strategy for fighting the Islamic State, a petulant-sounding President Obama insisted Monday, as he has before, that his critics have offered no concrete alternatives for action in Syria and Iraq, other than putting “large numbers of U.S. troops on the ground.” This claim was faulty in two respects. First, few if any White House critics are proposing a U.S. ground operation on the scale of the previous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. At the same time, military experts both within and outside the administration have proposed more modest measures that could significantly increase the pressure on the Islamic State if the president were to adopt them."

If you needed a one word descriptor of Obama. ...:thumbup:

The poster doth protest too much methinks. I can't remember who said that Shakespeare or Sean Hannity. Apparently the comment on breast feeding struck a nerve. I was just using it as an ice breaker I really don't know or care if you were breast fed and when you were weened. The observation regarding the disrespect for the office of the President is correct and will hurt country for years to come, in my opinion. As far you bristling up about the role-modeling disrespect for our children and grandchildren, if you don't see what is happening in this country disregard it as it wasn't aimmed at you. In reference to our role in the middle east we will have to disagree there also. We have been over there 13 years, have not paid 1 red copper choosing instead to pass the entire cost onto those children and grand-children mentioned earlier, and again we've lost too many young men and women to that ill conceived effort. When you find yourself in a hole the first thing you do is stop digging. That concept escapes many. I think this President understands that.

:1rotfl::1rotfl:....sorry, but really?? No disrespect meant, but that is naive.

Perhaps one too many rotfl's. BTW it has been replaced by haha. But with a 178 I don't need to remind you

You all seem to have forgotten that ISIS is merely the JV team......

let us all hope and pray the varsity or pro team never shows up.

There just are no more adequate words left to describe his inept and incometence. As for his followers and supporters.....in the spirirt of remaining civil....no comment.

To circumvent dealing with the varsity team, all we need is 57 nukes. Or, if that is too extreme, we could air drop hogs, the other white meat. That would make a lot of pig farmers happy, and scare the bejeebers out of the Muslims. :D

Are you not getting tired of using the JV comment Fox news has mentioned for 343 days in a row. Jesus get some new material!
