"Foreign" support for Obama
-
Maybe Steve could tell us what the benefit of having the English people strongly disapprove of our government is.
Or what the benefit of having the Iranian people strongly disapprove of our government is.
Or what the benefit of having the Pakistani people strongly disapprove of our government is.
Or any country.

they are so jealous of our freedoms
Who is "they," exactly?
Western Europe? The UK? That Amsterdam sure is one sorry, locked-down police state!
As an aside, why is it the dudes who scream "freedom!" the loudest are always first in line to vote down other folks' freedoms?

I've always said that we are all hypocrites and that we simply choose what to be hypocritical about. FWIW, some on the board cannot come to grips with this.
I guess it is like those who scream about 'close minded' individuals being the most intolerant posters on this board.

Say what you will, John, but me, I'm only intolerant of intolerance. Really. And racism, stupidity, and homophobia, etc., wrapped up and topped off with a shiny bow presented here, in this very forum, as "politics." This shit isn't politics, it's hate. We both know that.
For instance, what's the purpose of this thread started by, you guessed it, KKKal? (see cal, I can fart around with names too!!!!!!).

most people don't like smears, lies, and coooked-up controversies, and it's showing in the polls because one campaign and it's supporters have been completely ridiculous about it. The only place for such inane nonsense is the National Enquirer- Right Wing Edition.
However, by being so blatantly stupid, these people have actually HURT their cause this election season. It would be kind of like the boy who cried wolf, if the boy was a Retarded zombie who cried about dragons, monsters, Kraken, Nessie, godzilla, armageddon, buddha, and Marvin the Martian at least several times a day.

Gosh Heck you must be right.
I guess the US should be more accommodating toward Iran and Pakistan.
Hey, we could send them nukes or look the other way (or even help) when they invade Israel.
They'd like us then right?
Sounds good to me.

Answer the question. No one said anything about accommodating hostile nations. No one said anything about giving them nukes. You're changing the subject and arguing with a phantom. Again.
You're an adult. Stop.
You wanted to know if it's a good thing that foreigners overwhelmingly approve of Obama's election. I said of course it helps to have the foreign populations view America and its government in a positive light because it makes it easier to implement our policies, and to get international cooperation. This is hardly controversial.
So I asked you: tell me how it benefits America to have the English population, or the Iranian Population, or anyone else's population overwhelmingly opposed to the American government.

You wanted to know if it's a good thing that foreigners [actually I specify competitors and enemies] overwhelmingly approve of Obama's election.
Adult? Changing the subject?
Looks like you're changing the subject and going with the old snow job.
Competiors and enemies like you better IF you play ball OR don't interfere with what they want to do OR you're weak and not much of a threat.
Pick any enemy' date=' tell me why they're enemies of the US.
And tell me why they might like us better.
Just make something up if you need to.

Steve' date=' you blew this argument many posts ago... but I suspect you know that.[b']I realize you can't read with your nose in Heck's butt but go back to the original post.
Read the first line."competitors and enemies"
So why would Chavez and Co. like or not like a candidate?
A few reasons if you have em.

The polls taken worldwide that favored Obama so much (like U.S. high schoolers and elementary schoolers) were NOT polls of "evil dictators." They were people.But that is what I asked, though I know you and the elemntqary schoolers are on the same page.
BTW, most of "our" enemies are enemies of the Bush administration because of the hubris and non-diplomacy. He was loathed worldwide. Chavez doesn't know you or me and doesn't hate us. He hates the Bush Administration.
So Chavez is OK?
I wonder if you can comprehend that Heck and I like and respect each other... and that you haven't earned that?
Earned?
I suppose not if "earning" is blind hatred of W and drooling shivering becoming incontinent over Obama.
I suppose that's one honor I'll have to live without.
BTW, Florida GOP robo-calls are hitting with this same faulty logic: If Castro likes Obama, it's because he looks forward to invading and crushing us. Not because he thinks we could coexist more peacefully.
We can "coexist" with anyone we don't defy.
If that's your goal.
You've also started with the broken logic that everybody who disagrees with the U.S. government is evil and malicious. I haven't bought off on that since I was about 9.
No I don't guess you have.
You seem to identify with the enemies.
Stockhom Syndrome light?
Like wearing a Squeeler hat in Cleveland.

Again, why do you think it's better for the English population, or the Iranian population, to have a negative view of the American government?
Can you answer me that? You're changing the subject with every post.

"So when other countries' date=' competitors or actual enemies, support Obama why is that good?"So that was your original question... meaning the rest of the world, right?
[b']Meaning out enemies and competitors.[/b]
And your assertion isn't that the world actually LIKES Obama... but that they look forward to kicking his skinny ass?
Yes Shep.
That's exactly what I think.
Weakening the US strenghtens the enemy.
Hezbolla is happy today.
Why is that?
Do you and Heck think it's because they will be able to come to the white house picnic?
