"Cameron Schools Obama"

Clip is too long. You have to provide a summary. However, assuming this is about ISIS, Cameron wore a dark suit and talked tough and this accomplished what exactly?

Lazy ass runners have no place on this forum. Too lazy to take ten minutes to listen to something? Ok, maybe not lazy, but perhaps A.D.D. Anyway, Cameron was talking about how assimilation into British society and being a contributing part of its culture and values is not an option, but a DUTY. The problem with British society is that, like the United States, they have allowed themselves to be too P.C., promoting and encouraging bowing foreign cultures to rise within their traditional culture and contaminating it. When you have people from third-world countries fleeing their own destructive cultures and coming to better cultures, there ought to be assimilation, not Balkanization. 10% of England is now Muslim, with the most popular name in England now being Muhammed. All Muslims are not bad, but Islam is obviously a religion more prone to extremism and radicalism than any other. This is why you have young men in Great Britain and America who convert to Islam and actually believe that their god wants them to decapitate you simply because you won't convert. And these same radical converts are joining the ISIS terrorists to fight against Western society. These Western Islamic converts hold British and U.S. passports, so some of them will join terrorist groups and later come back into Western society and engage in acts of terrorism like 9-11. Levin believes, and I agree, that anyone who joins a terrorist group should lose his or her British or U.S. citizenship. I hope that is a good enough summary for any other lazy asses who can't take the time to educate themselves. I suppose I should instead talk about how this or that female runner is "hot." That would obviously be of more interest. Anyway, I really don't want to put too much political stuff on a running forum. I think all political stuff should be banned on LetsRun.com, but with all the political garbage and totally ignorant liberal crap that's on this forum every day, it's hard for more intelligent people not to want to take a crack at trying to educate the ignorant. Enough said.

See, now there's an intelligent liberal comment. Let's have some more of those, people!

Just letting it out. He thinks he is the spokesperson for jewish people and claims that jewish principles are predisposed to conservatism, which is just untrue

Actually, he repeatedly says that he is NOT the spokesperson for Jewish people, but he also says that any Jew who would vote for Obama--who obviously hates Israel--is an ignorant schmuck.

yeah obama obviously hates Israel but yet continues to fund it etc.....what world is he in

The republicans unquestioned loyalty to Israel is not impressive to most jews.

Better cultures? I was thinking about responding to your post seriously, but this sentence helped me decide that I'd be better off laying here on the couch and scratching myself. BTW, are you an example of a product of a "better" culture?

Lol mark levin. When will you people realize rwnj radio is the same as pro wrestling?

You deny that American (U.S.) culture is better than all the cultures in all the other countries where people leave their homeland to come here? They must all be totally nuts, right?

Shawn what are your views on drug legalization, foreign policy, abortion, gay marriage, immigration and police?

Just trying to see if you support freedom or are a total gop shill

This is one of the more obvious troll attempts in LR history. And that's saying something (not a good something....)

But, there are actual idiots out there who think this way so I'll bite.

You do realize that most - if not all - countries have immigrants, right? And that the number they have is a function of lots and lots of things, including, most importantly, the wealth of the nation compared to the wealth of its neighbors.

And because you're a troll, you probably also realize that, regardless of immigration policy, cultures change, and if immigrants - even legal ones - reside in a country they affect the culture of that country, regardless of how 'PC' (what are you from the 80s or something - who the heck used the term PC besides the lunatic right these days??).

You also realize that the UK - and the US - have been polyglot for decades now. Even if you think that their culture, whatever the heck that is, is 'superior' (you don't say what you mean by that.. is it a linear ordering? What are your criteria??), it's far from homogenous. Is the culture of the US south the same as the culture of San Francisco??

Conservatives could do with a course in critical thinking. Of course, historically, they've tried to do away with those:

I would argue that the wealth of a country is brought about, in least at part, by its culture.

At the risk of boring others, I'll answer that. But I don't plan on camping out on this thread more than I have in order to educate the uneducatable, and I don't plan on taking all day every day defending plain, logical, Constitutional positions.

First of all, the GOP is almost as worthless as the Dems right now. The Bush Administration was pretty bad, in my opinion, although the current administration is much worse in so many ways. I am a conservative, not a "RINO."

Drug legalization: I'm not for it. While I do believe in States Rights, I've seen too many people damaged or killed by drugs. Increasing the supply and access through legalization will only increase the problem. You can argue that legalizing all drugs will take profits from drug traffickers, which might be true, but it's morally wrong to dispense poison, even to peoples stupid enough to take it.

Foreign policy: Peace through strength. Be so strong that they won't mess with you. And if they do, go in, stomp the cockroaches, and leave. However, I don't think we should be engaged in "regime change," removing tyrants and leaving chaos. Some animals really need a zookeeper. People who are determined to live in the dark ages don't want democracy or a Constitutional republic, there is no such thing as the "Arab spring," and unless there is widespread genocide going on as prior and during WWII, we can't risk our blood or waste our treasure for people who aren't worth it. Let them have their own revolution. We had ours. As for ISIS, bomb the bleep out of them because they truly are animals who need exterminating. We took away their evil dictator who kept the animals in a cage, and now the animals are loose, killing our citizens and decapitating little children.

Abortion: you didn't use protection and you got knocked up. Ok, fine, everyone makes mistakes. But in my opinion, once that zygote develops a head, arms and legs, and a beating heart, it's human. Raise and care for your mistake, or put the baby up for adoption. Killing human beings for convenience is terrible. Pregnancy caused by ape or incest . . . well, I make an exception there. Strict anti-abortionists won't.

Gay marriage: I don't care. If you fools want to go through divorce, crazy alimony laws, child support issues (adopted children for example), etc., go ahead and get married. Fools.

Immigration: Build the fence. Shut it down. In 2006, legislation was passed, but neither party has funded it. It would be a lot cheaper to build the fence than what's going on now. If you broke our law and came into the country illegally, you should at the very least go to the very back of the line. If you broke other laws while here illegally, automatic and permanent deportation. My wife came to America the legal way. Lots of red tape and waiting, and she became a U.S. citizen. Neither political party is serious about shutting down the border, despite what the worthless GOP says. If you're here illegally or thinking about coming here illegally, know this: you will get absolutely no benefits or a job. No "sanctuary cities" breaking federal law while states like Arizona that want to enforce federal law aren't allowed to do so. No U.S. driver's licenses, no school for illegals, no outrageous in-state tuition, no free healthcare except in a true emergency, no EBT cards, no government housing. I'm tired of paying for all this crap, and many of you are, as well.

Police: The vast majority are honorable people, and thank God for them. You may have run across the occasional jerk or even racist cop, but most of them are good people doing a job that most of you wouldn't want to do. They just want to do the job well and go home when it's done. Love them and respect them. And here's Chris Rock with some advice for those of you who have run-ins with the cops:

Correction: I DON'T think we should be involved in "regime change."

I will begin by stating that I am an English citizen of Jewish heritage. I am secular and I am not a huge fan of Israel.

I find it rather funny that anyone would think what Cameron said is some sort of rebuke of Obama. First of all, there is nothing remarkably different between the relative policies of the United States and Great Britain with regard to immigration and assimilation that have any bearing on Cameron's ridiculous statement. This is pure posturing on Cameron's part. Second of all, the implied policy recommendations that Cameron seems to recommend would do nothing to enhance the challenging job that law enforcement face in trying to stop terrorist attacks.

The solution to terrorism, religious-based violence, imperialism, nationalism are long-term challenges, and vague political posturing offers zero help. Barak Obama faces a very tough job, but his circumspection--when compared with Cameron shooting off his mouth--look rather wise to this Englishman.

thanks for answering. LOL at your "I am not really a Republican, but I support 99% of their platform and positions."

And nice job on the Bush/Iraq critiques. I am realllly sure you felt this way leading up to the war. In reality, you probably argued relentlessly for the war, and defended Bush against most criticisms. But now you are one of the dishonest

"I never really liked Bush or the Iraq invasion" Republican BS'rs.

In conclusion, you are a typical, boring, 100% republican douchebag. Own it 'bro, don't be a liar and pretend you are something else.

You mean in how to cause a double dip recession by austerity measures? That's about the only thing that David Cameron could teach Obama.

David Cameron displays the way in with Britain is becoming less and less relevant in the world. This is a man who has yet to apologize for taking a holiday in South Africa while Nelson Mandela languished in prison.
