Nanker Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Nyt will label it the most successful foreign policy ever. He'll get another Nobel, this time for poetry.
B-Man Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 The Sound and the Fury — and the Tweet :Outrage over Boko Haram may be grounded in identity politics, but it’s not hypocrisy.By Charles Krauthammer Mass schoolgirl kidnapping in Nigeria — to tweet or not to tweet? Is hashtagging one’s indignation about some outrage abroad an exercise in moral narcissism or a worthy new way of standing up to bad guys? The answer seems rather simple. It depends on whether you have the power to do something about the outrage in question. If you do, as in the case of the Obama administration watching Russia’s slow-motion dismemberment of Ukraine, it’s simply embarrassing when the State Department spokeswoman tweets the hashtag #UnitedForUkraine. That is nothing but preening, a visual recapitulation of her boss’s rhetorical fatuousness when he sternly warns that if the rape of this U.S. friend continues, we are prepared to consider standing together with the “international community” to decry such indecorous behavior — or some such. When a superpower, with multiple means at its disposal, reverts to rhetorical emptiness and hashtag activism, it has betrayed both its impotence and its indifference. But if you’re an individual citizen without power, if you lack access to media, drones, or special forces, then hashtagging your solidarity with the aggrieved is a fine gesture and perhaps even more. The mass tweet is, after all, just the cyber equivalent of the mass petition. And people don’t sneer at petitions. Historically, they’ve been a way for individuals, famous or anonymous, to make their views known and, by weight of number, influence authorities who, in democratic societies, might respond to such expressions of popular sentiment. The hashtag campaign for the Nigerian girls — originated in Nigeria by Nigerians — was meant to do exactly that: pressure the Nigerian government to more seriously respond to the kidnapping. It has already had this effect. And attention from abroad has helped magnify the pressure. {snip} The identity of the victims here — young, black, and female — undoubtedly helps explain the worldwide reaction. Two months earlier, Boko Haram had raided a Christian school and, after segregating the boys, brutally murdered 59 of them. That elicited no hashtag campaign against Boko Haram. Nor was there any through the previous years of Boko Haram depredations — razing Christian churches, burning schools, killing infidels of all ages. Nonetheless, selective outrage is not necessarily hypocrisy. There are a million good causes in the world, and one cannot be devoted to all of them. People naturally gravitate to those closest to their heart. Thus last week’s unlikely sight: a group of congresswomen holding a news conference demanding immediate U.S. action — including the possible use of drones — against Boko Haram. .
B-Large Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Considering the White House did EXACTLY nothing for three weeks, I'm not so sure they explored any avenues. In fact, by their own admissions, they didn't. It was just another terrorist attack (ref. statements by State on 5/5, when they said there was no aid provided outside the established anti-terrorism assistance we've been providing against Boko Haram)...unlike the concurrent Abuja bombings, which they at least condemned (albeit did not twit). I already don't like you. Someone tell this retard what that means... Is the answer Suprize Bhut Seks?
Koko78 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Is the answer Suprize Bhut Seks? Maybe, but I do think it involves someone being made the others new B word.
B-Large Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Maybe, but I do think it involves someone being made the others new B word. Like in Federal "Pound me in the Ass" Prison?
Koko78 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Wouldn't that be "pound-you-in-the-ass-prison"? Unless, of course, the judge is into that sort of thing. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

I admire you wanting to dig into the syntax here, or maybe its semantics..... in the end who cares which it is.... the Judge wants Bhut Seks, or want to Will Buht Seks on someone, and that is just solid intepretation of the law in my book.

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Who is michelle directing it exactly? She's the wife of the most powerful man in the world. Shouldn't she mention it to him over dinner? The fact that even a low level loser like yourself is talking about it should clue even you into what she is try to do. You'd think you wouldn't need that explained but you are meazza

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 So she's targeting low-level losers? Good policy... Targeting? No she's just putting it out there and your little groupie saw it. The very idea that you Conservatives are all upset about this shows just how disgusting low you people are.
