‘You Bet Your Ass’ I’ll Bring It Back

Monday night in Columbus, OH, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump doubled down on his vow that he will bring back waterboarding if elected president.

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Trump first said he would bring back waterboarding.

Trump said, “This morning, they asked me a question. Would you approve waterboarding? Would I approve waterboarding? Would I approve waterboarding? Well let me ask you a question. On the other side they chop off our young people’s heads and they put them on a stick. On the other side, they build these iron cages and they put 20 people in them. They drop them into the ocean for 15 minutes and pull them up 15 minutes later. Would I approve waterboarding? You bet your ass I’d approve it.”

This will hurt him. I don't agree with waterboarding. Not because I care about what's happening to some terrorist, but because torture doesn't work for the most part. Only the weak will actually tell you the truth. Whocares what they have to say? They don't know anything. The ones you want info out of are going to tell you everything and anything EXCEPT the truth.

While you may be right on the subject, but with that aside, I'm not so sure it will hurt him. The masses are tired of terrorism and leaders being soft. That's how Trump got to where he's at now, by talking smack about all of the things that folks are tired and pissed at. That doesn't mean he can snap his fingers and make things happen, but he IS reaching people. Perhaps some things he wants won't come to fruition, but it's better than just bending over and taking it in the ass.

As for not caring what they have to say. Well, I'm all for just making them and all their friends completely disappear. Eradicated. Eliminated. Got no problem there either.

AS MY DEPARTED UNCLE USED TO SAY, "KILL THE BASTARDS FIRST--GET THEM TO TALK LATER"!
And of course he thought it was funny, but in a case like this I think it insures the sonbitches do not kill in the future-- which is the primary goal. --Tyr

The thing is, I don't like people who talk smack. And so far, that's all he's done. It won't hurt him with those in his camp, I agree with that. But that is completely emotion based thinking. He's appealing to the pissed off. But THAT is his ONLY appeal. He's writing a bunch of checks he can't cash. Everyone's so keen on these "outsiders" but they'll get over once they get to DC about like the last outsider did -- Jimmy Carter.

The left is too obvious. What's their fall-back position? Blame it on Bush. They don't have any other argument. My argument is systematic torture doesn't work. If it did, I'd be all for it. It never has.

You apparently don't look; It's either for you to be ignorant that way. I expect BO to crap on the Constitution, I don't expect a Republican to crap on it and I less expect someone who claims to hold the Constitution in high regard to stand up and praise him for it.

Your ignorance is astounding. I don't tar and feather Trump, he does it to himself. He is a joke of a candidate. It does no good to beat Hillary when "winning" puts conservatives and conservatism in a bad light. He'll advance the conservative cause just about as well as Hoover IMO.

Net result: you are far LESS critical of a Leftie doing what you claim to oppose - and regardless of the period that's involved. Where Trump is involved, and this only in terms of what he ADVOCATES, not what he's already DONE, suddenly, you're a lot more vocal about it.

'Funny', that ... eh ?

I'm critical of anyone who craps on the Constitution; I just don't feel the need to rant like a loon, if that works for you have at it. Nevertheless if trump is advocating to crap on the Constitution before he's even elected then that gives me no confidence if he were actually in power.

Not where Obama's concerned, certainly. Oh, and I understand that Obama's Presidency has been characterised by his 'less than perfect' respect for Constitutional limitations ... can you show us what willingness you've shown to offer ANY comments offering opposition ?

Is there something about Trump which suddenly ceases to qualify you 'as a loon' when you're inspired to speak out ? Do you, in your judgement, qualify AS one, if you speak out about Obama, but suddenly NOT if Trump is involved ?


Nevertheless if trump is advocating to crap on the Constitution before he's even elected then that gives me no confidence if he were actually in power.

So, you claim he's merely advocating to 'crap on the Constitution'. Not that he's done so.

Come on, FJ, speak up. Don't you want to show your greater willingness to support Obama, over Trump ... ?

I'm not sure Trump has stated anything out there that he was 100% going to do outside of the constitution. Many infer that from what he says though. Saying he is crapping on the COTUS because he would bring back waterboarding isn't really honest. Same as some who say he brought up the idea of a muslim database.

Because it's psychological warfare. Their intent is to offend and outrage us. And thanks to the media, they're winning that battle. Our media is not just an enemy to the right, but an enemy to EVERYONE. Because people believe them without researching the topic further when we have more tools to do so now than we ever did. Just as Ho Chi Minh did, they use the media to get the left in an uproar and tie our hands behind our backs here at home before we ever get over there.

They don't have the means nor manpower to conduct a conventional war. Unless, as is happening now, Obama sticks his head in the sand and makes blunder after blunder decisions. The left has been crying about Bush going into Iraq for over a decade but the fact is, Obama pulling out our troops was more disastrous. HE created ISIS.

Anyway, they aren't weak. They're winning.

Tyr says it best in pointing out (I'm paraphrasing) how much more effort you put into attacking a Republican .. at the drop of a hat. Where Obama's concerned ... if you can be moved to offer it, you offer just The Mantra.

Never underestimate your enemy. You might not like their strategy, tactics nor reasons, but underestimating their effect is losing half the battle. I never saw anyone over there that looked all that weak. They're waging the war they can wage. One, they are outraging us by attacking soft targets. Two, they cannot wage a conventional war IF we actually oppose them with military force. Obama's jacked that last one up.

Something no one wants to get is we have to wage war at their level, not ours, but the leftwingnuts here want to have all these stupid rules. The US military could kick their asses back to the Stone Age (oh yeah, they're stilling in it) in 90 days if idiot boy would just turn it loose.

True but only because the obama deliberately allowed them to grow and take all that territory!
When they first took territory it was a tiny mass and they congregated there! We could have carpet bombed that area and eliminated them but obama cried no- lets just contain them. Knowing damn well that would be his excuse for letting them grow-they are muslim--his brothers!

He never said 90 days. I did. From strictly a military POV. I can take the territory. But you have to hold it for more than a couple of years to erase centuries of backwards assed thinking. You have generations of people over there that know nothing else. The biggest problem we have in the ME is our refusal as a society to accept that they just don't think like us. How can you introduce democracy to a culture that has no concept from birth of what Western democracy is? Your BFF Jillian called me racist for saying that, and THAT is the problem. Not thinking. You can't beat your enemy unless you can get into his head and understand the way he thinks. Doesn't mean you have to agree or like it ... means you have to understand.

You're not going to just declare victory and pull out the troops and all is well. You have to raise a generation if you're going to alter a society.

I agree with your assessment of them 100%. Their culture simply is not compatible with western culture. That's why I think that the only way to achieve peace with them is to isolate them to the Mideast and don't let them migrate to Europe and the US. We'll trade with them and that's it, and we should take steps for energy independence to minimize trade with them. Keep tabs on their nuclear ambitions, and when they build a factory where nuclear material is being made, bomb it. When they start killing each other, we shouldn't get involved, as its not in our national interest.

Israel, like it or not, is there, and we along with our WW2 allies created it, so we have to take steps to keep it stable. The "Palestinian" nomads who reside there should be relocated east and Israel expanded to a defensible border. Make the border 100 meters wide with walls on both sides, big warning signs everywhere and a kill zone in the middle.

We should give California to Israel. Solve two problems at one time. Get rid of the Californians and get Israel out of the ME.

I've thought about that myself, but in Arizona to mimic the climate in the ME. The CA desert is not off the mark though. And it would kill two birds with one stone. I'd restrict it to southern CA though, as the north and central is still populated with non-brain deads. The only problem with that is moving the wailing wall and similar infrastructure that they have built over millennia.

The Palestinians never built anything, as they are basically nomads. It would be far easier to move them, just a bit further east. We made borders after WW2, so we'll just amend them as needed.

I forget now what they call that place. It's just west of the CA/AZ border. I used to LOVE 4-wheeling in the desert. I was a total sand rodent back in the day.

You're more than welcome to search through ~17,000 posts; it's all in there. But of course you'll ignore what you don't understand and proves you wrong anyway. Do you have that list of lefties who propose tax cuts and decreasing regulations with whom I agree?

Actually not sure of his tax stance though. But it's definitely a dry well lately.
