Conquer Club

What do you guys think? Shouldn't conservatives write a thank you note to President Obama thanking him for finally getting Bin Laden, instead of lazily saying he doesn't matter anymore and that he's irrelevant as Bush did?

I think Obama wrote enough thank you notes to himself for all of us.

I don't know about red-state conservatives, but I'll continue to thank Obama for wire-tapping my phone and possibly spying on me while showering with his super high res satellite cameras.

Damn pervert.

-TG

He sat and watched the guys who did get Bin Laden on TV.

I'll give him credit for calling out the politicians in Congress for delaying any resolution to the Fiscal Cliff. Aside from that, he's on par with Romney, in my view.

THANK YOU OBAMA FOR THE 6 TRILLION YOU ADDED TO THE DEBT
THANK YOU OBAMA FOR NOT SENDING HELP TO BENGHAZI WHEN THEY ASKED FOR IT
THANK YOU OBAMA FOR RAISING MY TAXES WHEN YOU SAID ONLY THOSE MAKING $250,000 OR MORE WOULD PAY MORE TAXES (I MAKE UNDER $100,000)
THANK YOU OBAMA FOR BLAMING BUSH AND THE REPUBLICANS FOR EVERYTHING AND YOURSELF FOR NOTHING
THANK YOU OBAMA FOR INSISTING THE FISCAL CLIFF DEAL WOULD NOT ADDRESS WASHINGTON'S OUT OF CONTROL SPENDING
THANK YOU OBAMA FOR COSTING TAX PAYERS 4 MILLION SO YOU COULD FLY BACK TO HAWAII WHILE WE ALL WENT OFF TO PAY OUR NEW TAXES
THANK YOU OBAMA FOR SCREWING OUR COUNTRY TO THE POINT THAT IT MAY NEVER RETURN TO WHAT IT WAS
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
THANK YOU




GOOD ENOUGH FOR YA?

BTW Obama didn't get Bin Laden, the SEALS did!

And the President doesn't set the budget; Congress does. (When they get around to it.)

Read a book on the raid man. The mastermind, Admiral McRaven, actually adjusted his plan because of questions Obama asked. McRaven is a special character too, because instead of getting blustery and thinking his plan is the same thing as his ego (the way most high ranking military men are), he thought it all through. It was Obama's idea to send the extra Chinook to refuel the choppers, which turned out to be how they all got out after the one Blackhawk crashed.

Also, it was Obama's idea to have the 101st Airborne standing by in Afghanistan in case Seal Team 6 needed to fight their way out. Everything else was McRaven and the operators.

Fact is, this site is so toxic when it comes to politics, you guys can't even think (well maybe not you MTG), "Holy Shit, America rules and our Commander-In-Chief did a damn good job".

Here's a fun fact: Obama gave McRaven a gold-plated tape measure as a gift congratulating him after the raid. Why? Because after they got Bin Laden's body on an aircraft carrier, they realized they didn't have anything to measure him with to help confirm the identity. So a six foot man laid down next to the corpse, and then they could show that the body was indeed 6'5".


Lastly, Bin Laden was definitely not irrelevant as the previous administration said. It's obvious that was their way of covering up the fact that we weren't finding him. Bin Laden was still directing his underlings with letters almost daily.

Keep in mind, too, that we may not have developed the techniques and raids to stay inside the terrorist's information cycle to carry out the Abbottabad raid had it not been for the crucible of doing the same things in Iraq for years. Sure people can say we might have done it, but it's an impossible egg to unscramble now. Fact is, Seal Team 6 got so awesome because of Iraq, primarily, and there's no telling where else that experience may have come.

What? Read a book? Whatever, pimpdave. I'll invent what I want, and it becomes truth. Watch:


You're completely wrong. They never got Osama bin Laden--only some lackey of his, who happened to be tall. Since the mission failed, they dumped the body overboard, so that no one could refute their claim. Everyone on deck who got a glimpse of the body really couldn't tell the difference between the lackey and Osama bin Laden. OBL simply died some years ago due to natural causes (recall he was on a dialysis machine for years). Since the ending of OBL was so undramatic and since Obama needed a dramatic show to increase votes, we sat back and enjoyed an elaborate raid to satisfy our desire for justice and to reaffirm our belief in the anti-terrorism, child-killing campaign of the US.

As a right-wing conservative, pro-war and pro-business, I would like to thank the president for...

- Continuing to prosecute two wars.
- Starting U.S. participation in various additional wars.
- Increasing the number of unmanned drone attacks, killing more "innocent civilians" (hahaha... innocent... like anyone living in Arabia is innocent).
- Increasing domestic espionage.
- Not raising taxes on corporations, while retaining various corporate tax benefits.
- Providing new corporate tax benefits.
- Providing taxpayer dollars to banks and other industries.

Thanks President Obama! You are one of the best Republican presidents we've ever had!

Oh yeah, actually, that's a myth, one that Bin Laden himself hated and refuted in interviews prior to 9/11. Dude never needed dialysis. But it dogged him forever, sort of like the "Obama was born in Kenya" or "Richard Gere stuff gerbils up his butt" thing.

Webster Tarpley wrote a book about how OBL still works for the CIA, and the 9/11 incident was the product of CIA-Pentagon/Shadow State collusion.

Oh, if it was in a book that means it must be true.

Right, so does this mean that your claims in your post are false?

No. What are you saying?

pimpdave wrote:No. What are you saying?

pimpdave, how can we trust books when the TPDS has a clandestine printing press which inserts its radical propaganda within seemingly innocent articles and books?

Is this news to you? I thought you guys at the anti-TPDS HQ were on the up-and-up.

Yeah come ON PD!

I posted this before, I know, but it's so on-point.

Wow, that got a nerve. All I said was that Seal Team 6 got him. Which, considering they're the ones that raided OBL's house and shot him dead there, along with neutralizing any other threats, yeah, they did the leg work. Obama watched it unfold. I never said he didn't have anything to do with the planning (though sounds like he was just asking questions and leaving the actual planning to the Admiral).

But seriously, the guy has been more or less on par with politicians like Romney, and even Bush.

Fact is, this site is so toxic when it comes to politics, you guys can't even think (well maybe not you MTG), "Holy Shit, America rules and our Commander-In-Chief did a damn good job".

I just don't fall in line and blindly follow a guy for one thing. Fact is, he was better than Romney, which all things considered, is not good. Did Obama help out with the overall planning? Sure. I'll give him credit for that. I also give him credit for calling out the scumbag politicians that kept delaying the Fiscal Cliff. But otherwise, his overall policies are not much different than previous administrations.

Here's a fun fact: Obama gave McRaven a gold-plated tape measure as a gift congratulating him after the raid. Why?

Okay. Nice fact. But not really on topic.

Lastly, Bin Laden was definitely not irrelevant as the previous administration said. It's obvious that was their way of covering up the fact that we weren't finding him. Bin Laden was still directing his underlings with letters almost daily.

Never said he was irrelevant. Not sure where that came from.

Keep in mind, too, that we may not have developed the techniques and raids to stay inside the terrorist's information cycle to carry out the Abbottabad raid had it not been for the crucible of doing the same things in Iraq for years. Sure people can say we might have done it, but it's an impossible egg to unscramble now. Fact is, Seal Team 6 got so awesome because of Iraq, primarily, and there's no telling where else that experience may have come.

And once again, where did I say that Seal Team 6 wasn't awesome? They did their job, and did very well, depsite losing a chopper. They're badass. Just because I'm not a fan of Obama, does not mean I don't fervently support the armed forces. I have relatives and friends in about every branch.

Well, we fact check everything, and according to our reliable, anonymous sources, the Tea Party and their Death Squads have not yet infiltrated the military in a capacity to control it. Sure, many of them enlist to get trained in how to better kill people they disagree with, but none manage to rise up to a rank significant enough to carry out the sort of high-concept treason/terrorism that the Tea Party is known for.

Branding is very important to them. Which is why it's odd that they prefer shooting up movie theaters to military strikes, but hey, I don't understand their evil, I just report it.

The amount of Americans who appreciate the works of the Anti Tea Party Death Squad Task Force Headquarters is far greater than the Americans who died at the Battle of Stalingrad.
