Once Obama was denied by Congress is when your tune changed. You are such a partisan hack!

Most awesome post is awesome

So the real story here is now the absolute denial the GOP base is in. Delusional doesn't even begin to describe it.

What the actual Fsck?

Alt-fact generator: denial, and river in egypt, which wasn't on the Muslim ban list, so it's cool.

Seems like pcgeek is a great example of the tribalism that I was talking about.

Obama did nothing. Time for a change.

I personally think the US should have acted then and maybe things would be better now.
I do not think that the numbers posted in the OP mean anything like what is implied.

You seem to forget Obama went to Congress for a new AUMF so he could act and Republicans refused.

of course, the numbers posted mean exactly what is implied, it's so obvious that even you know it.

OK, If you say so it must be true.

Any chance we can get a comment from you about your sudden change of heart on the issue?

I was just about to search this same thing. Glad someone beat me to it. I love when hypocritical partisan hacks have their own bullshit thrown back in their face.

5 years after those threads, we are STILL stuck In Iraq and Afghanistan.
I don't see how we can fight all these wars at once. We don't have a massive standing army, and nobody is going to vote for a draft. And lord knows Donnie isn't able to win anything.

Abandoning ones own morality for the sake of party seems to be a common characteristic of the right. That's how Trump got elected.

What happened in those four years that changed their minds so dramatically?

10-fold less tragic, war-crime murder = more cause for silly bombing!

Guys, there's something called a "search engine" on this board. You can avoid further humiliation by taking that into consideration before you flap your gums.

Today will be remembered as the day that ivwshane OWNED the internet. You sir have entered the pantheon.......

This post probably illustrates a greater truth. I imagine if you ask all the Republicans who support intervention now what they thought four years ago, they will respond exactly like PCGEEK did. They will misremember and state that actually they did support intervention back then.

Bottom line, kudos to the majority of Democrats for opposing in both instances. Shame on the Republicans for putting political party before national interests.

More importantly (you would think) would be that these people don't seem interested in reflecting on why they have changed their opinions so radically despite no significant change in the situation other than what party controls the presidency. They routinely call others liars, hacks, etc and don't seem to notice that they're doing everything they accuse other people of. It's not like this is an isolated case either.

People are weird, they prize tribal identity over facts, I imagine that's what's happening in this case. The question I have now though is why tribal identity is so much stronger among conservatives than among liberals?

[trenchfoot]

For many conservatives (not pcgeek specifically) their primary reason for being from that side of the aisle makes being hypocritical a "yeah, so what?" kind of deal. There's no shame in it, there's no pause for reflection. It's either accepting the fact that being hypocritical is part and parcel of being conservative in thought and action, or not being a conservative at all. Example: Obamacare is a despicable attack on the principle of free choice but the Affordable Care Act and its model Romneycare is good and must not be repealed/replaced. Or, the infamous Southern Strategy, Bush 43 agreeing with the Iraqi gov't to leave Iraq is OK, but Obama following through on that agreement is bad, the gov't should stay out of our lives but don't you dare take away my social security, medicare and on and on and on.

Being conservative is not so much having to be hypocritical to tow the party line, being hypocritical is inconsequential. It's a minor inconvenience that has no bearing on how things should be handled or looked upon. If it's good for the Party, then what's the big deal about it? If it wins elections being that way, then really, what's the problem?

It's acceptable. It's OK. The only thing that matters is that their party stays in power, in control of things so that they can feel safe and secure in this knowledge no matter how badly they get affected by the loyalty they place in the party.

 

[repoman0]

I wonder if pcgeek is off on a retreat reflecting and contemplating his existence, wondering why his view of the world is dictated entirely by political party and the views of others rather than his own independent thought.
