Lebanese citizens could find the time to protest the US, and chant “Death to America”,

(BTW, that is nearly one in every eight people in the country)
Then we should help their self esteem and stop giving them those dollars tainted by coming from the “great Satan”.

According to wikipedia, Lebanon receives $400 million or more dollars from the US, second only to Israel. Other sources place that number lower at only $200 million. Either way, it should stop.

I am sure that the 1 in eight people in Lebanon who hate America would not want to continue to receive those dollars.

Cut ’em off. We really don’t have the money anyway.

I mean, according to Hamas, we should hold the countries where offensive material originates as responsible for that offensive material….

Since THIS was Palestinian, we can carpet bomb Palestine?

I mean, I find THIS offensive.

And THIS.

And this.

So can we trash their embassy and destroy the countries? Maybe make some green glass? It’d make exploiting the oil so much easier…..

I find their stuff very offensive. And I’m not even Jewish.

The bodies of liberals and artists here is the US would be stacked like cordwood.

You have stuff like this, and this.

Which should lead to riots and violence and maybe even deaths….

But it don’t happen here.

And it is interesting how the muslims demand respect for their book, and their prophet, and their beliefs. But will not show the same respect for anyone else’s.

SO the WON can’t find time to meet with the leader of the one country in the middle east that is actually friendly to the US….He’s too busy

BUT the stupid fucker CAN find the time to meet with the leader of Egypt, that member of the Muslim Brotherhood…. Mohammed Morsi.

Sure, lets spit in the eye of our only friends in the area. Insult our allies. That’ll increase the level of security for this country. I bet it makes the unwashed muslim masses like the US immediately….

Stupid fucker. Putting his hopes of a muslim revival first and the security of the country second. Violating his oath.

Barry seriously needs his ass kicked. Hard.

History does not record anywhere a religion that has any rational
basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to
the unknown without help.

Like I said before, we NEED a choice in our voting.

NOTA.

Bet that would win more often than not.

And it’d do more to fix things than anything else we have tried.

So now the embassy in Yemen has been attacked.

Several points

1.  These protests are not spontaneous. They are planned. And organized. And professionally executed.

B.  The date is not coincidental. It was not about a movie.

III. The mobs are being used by the powers that be. Mostly they don’t care if someone is hurt or killed.
       Theirs OR ours.

4. IF the attacks carried out at the embassy in Egypt had been “dealt with” properly at the start, then the
    ambassador and Marines in Libya would likely still be alive, and not dragged lifelessly through the streets.

E. The leadership shown here is reminiscent of the Carter administration. Just sayin’.

VI. The host countries leaders are allowing this to happen, which suggests that they are sympathetic to
     whoever is stirring up the crowds. This means the governments we are supporting are NOT our friends.
      They each have the means to police their people accordingly, and have chosen not to.

7. Bullets and Fire are your friends when a mob attacks the walls of your embassy. Should have been used
     early and often as a lesson the those following. Brutal, but effective. And it is not like it would generate
     more hate towards the US. Allowing your embassy (or consulate)(legally, the soil of the US) to be
     attacked and the US flag to be burned with no dead protesters is a travesty. It shows weakness.What
     were the ROE for the Marine guards?

H. This shows that despite the significant amounts of foreign aid cash (which we didn’t have, and couldn’t
    afford, but sent anyway) we have sent to these countries, we have not purchased one dimes worth of
    goodwill. We should stop all foreign aid immediately. To each of the countries. If nothing else it sends a
    message that we will not be fucked with, and the other remaining countries will understand and stop such
    protests or pay the price.

IX. We should immediately pull all personnel out of the countries so far affected, and, if the mob continues to
       loot the building(s) and compound, destroy them with no notice other than that it might happen rockets,
       demolition, it doesn’t matter how. If we kill some looters, well, so be it. Animals learn the lessons taught
        with the most force better…Same with these people. We should also kick their diplomatic personnel out  
        of the US with about 4 hours notice. Just tell them to leave. And enforce it. With force if necessary.

10. By allowing this to happen with no repercussions, the leadership in our government weakens the US in
      the eyes of every other country. Apologizing and understanding don’t work with these people. A firm fist
      does. We should use one.  Understanding and such might work well in educated and peaceful groups of
      “intellectuals”….. it won’t there.And the Diplomats had better learn that lesson quickly, before they allow
       any additional damage to be done.

ETA: At least Obama and his people haven’t apologized for this….yet.

ETA2: Murphy and I agree

I suggested that Romney should have said he would cut back the EPA.

But he didn’t. He didn’t even mention it.

If he’d promise to do so, He’d get the vote of each and every business owner. Stop the EPA. Abolish it, in fact.

Of course, the EPA is just the precedent setter. Many other agencies use the same tactics and methods to strangle businesses and freedom.

Until we stop these behemoths and cut back their power, our economy will never rebound.

This will impact our economy worse that the 9/11 attacks. Seriously

Once the US dollar is no longer the currency used to trade in fungibles like oil, then it’s primacy begins to fade. If another currency becomes the standard for such trades, We. Are. Screwed.

We are headed to a place where the dollar will be worth less every day, like the Italian Lira or the Zimbabwean dollar.

Can you blame anyone for not wanting to hold or trade in dollars anymore? “Quantatative Easing” has devalued it significantly in such a sort time. Deficit spending has done even more.

This is, I fear, the death knell for the US dollar. And by extension, for the US economy.
