Discussion for article #242918
In response to TPM reader, BF:
In other words, maintain a permanent war footing with no temporary respite, because your strategy will not stop suicide bombings by radicalized citizens in Paris, Beirut, et al.
I don’t agree with staying, but we should strive to enact a calming of emotions to neutralize calls to arms.

This particular morning I don’t care to type out and make the folks here read the vile and foul words I would need to describe this person accurately. But that could change.

You notice this putative Presidential candidate doesn’t trouble to spell out what he means by “war.” He’s entirely unserious about the most serious thing a President can do. And there’s simply no acknowledgement of what I’m absolutely sure he knows as well as anyone—American troops in the Mideast is what they want. I am not young and I have never seen such sickening cynicism. If he doesn’t literally worship Satan he might as well, because that’s about where he sits morally.

Most Bible-thumping backseat-warmongers would LOVE to send someone else’s children to fight and shed their blood in the name of GOD. Make NO MISTAKE it’s Huck’s Bible tongue that’s wagging for a prophecy fulfillment.

Being low, low, low in the Presidential polls, Huckabee proves that desperate people do (and say) desperate things!

Good thinking responding on another thread, being we can’t on Josh’s posts from other readers. I for the life of me can not understand why he posted that tripe.

Totally. I would like to see a prominent Democrat come out with a statement exactly along those lines - “Republicans And ISIS Agree - We Should Send More Troops to the Middle East”. This kind of flame-throwing used to be frowned upon in the quaint days before a black guy was in the White House, but would work perfectly here. Of course, it would require Dems wit Spines to get past the initial outrage (including the media) but after a few days of sticking to their guns, I think the public would be truly educated on this. It’s a shame but a lot of people fall for the “hate us for our freedom” bullshit.

Great, what does that mean? France is not going to have a ground war against them. At least not that I know about. The US just going to start bombing them harder?
Légion Etrangère anyone?
“If you bought a five-pound bag of peanuts and there were about ten peanuts that were deadly poisonous, would you feed them to your kids?” he said. "The answer is no.”
But if you had a million guns in America, and about hundreds of them were deadly accidental, would you have one in the house with your kids? and I’m guessing his answer to that is YES.

Isn’t war declared by Congress? The GOP-controlled Congress?

Yet he has no concern for our own citizens that are in “war zones” every day here in the U.S.A. because we can not pass gun safety legislation due to our own home grown organization the NRA.

Or, if you knew that 100 Americans die EVERY DAY on US highways, would you let your kid drive? Or, if 430 Americans die EVERY DAY from lung cancer, would you ban cigarettes?
