    you guys should have eaten at my house in the 70's. school lunch was the best =)  at home it was single slice kraft cheese on skinny weight watches bread grilled in margarine and served with tab :o  weekends it was the same bread, powdered eggs served as french toast. thank god for mystery meat and gravey served over potatoes on wednesday, i would be back in line for seconds and thirds =)
    See?  And you turned out a fine outstanding citizen. =)   We don't need no stinkin' health training for kids. Give them hot pockets and tell them to study their unintelligent design.
    Now you know we sprang up from the primordial ooze.  That's the intelligent approach.

    I saw the hashtag campaign as support, an expression of sympathy or a generalized call for public attention and outrage.  FLOTUS participated in the same way she ususly does, she lent her support.  I think you're being disingenuous by saying that is our administration's policy and that kind of hyperbolic view just erodes your credibility.  We don't actually have to do anything.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    So JIC, what was the U.S. response to the Islamists taking those girls?  Hmmm?


    This is pathetic and weak.  If the United States is going to do nothing about it, then do nothing.  A hashtag campaign?  I'm sorry, but if that is our only response, then FLOTUS is leading our foreign policy on this issue.

    If we can only hear what the captors said.  
    "Hey Abdul, Obama says we are mean and should return these girls.  His woman is on the Internet with a hashtag campaign.  What should we do?"

    "Who gives a crap about them!  They ain't gonna do anything!  I think I'll go rape a different one today."
    Gee, Fred, it's almost as though you didn't read a single thing I wrote.  Or, if you did read it, you didn't understand it.  I'll let you go back and try again.

    nola, It is unprofitable to argue with you. Here's my point for the last time:  We are a superpower.  It is not wise to project an image of weakness and helplessness on any issue.  If we aren't going to send Seal Team six to rescue those nice ladies, then let somebody else like a Hollywood type do that hashtag crap to raise awareness.

    It is pointless to continue.  You and your ilk don't discuss ideas.  You throw out the race card and that's the end of it.  Fred's an F'ing racist.  All the other liberals stand and cheer, "Bravo!  Race Card played brilliantly!"

    FYI:  I do not see a monkey.  I see a lovely First Lady making a big mistake by projecting an image of US weakness for the world to see.

    Again, I would just suggest that had Laura Bush done something similar, we would not have heard a peep from conservatives.  And I'm not saying that's because of race.  Mostly it's partisan BS rather than anything substantive.  Laura would probably be criticized by liberals for doing this, who knows.

     It just strikes me as incredibly lame to jump on this when all the FLOTUS was trying to do was to call attention to little girls who had been kidnapped in Africa.  That's it.  Nothing more, nothing less.

    The point is Laura Bush didn't do anything like that.  Had she did, it would be just as lame.  We can play "What if..." All day, but it doesn't invalidate my point.  Thank you for playing.

    Fred, it's indulgent to think our dicks need to be hanging out of our pants, erect, holding 6-shooters to be a super power.  That's simply idiotic to think, yet that seems to be some kind of mantra that gets repeated over and over.  We're weak because we showed restraint and actually talked to someone (diplomacy) without invading them first?  That's why our international approval rating went up when the hawks left office.

    You don't have a point.  You're just confused and lack imagination, apparently.  

    The idea that FLOTUS calling attention to kidnapped little girls somehow projects US global weakness is a bunch of nonsense.

    Oh boy John, thanks for that. Now we have to listen to @Fred19Flintstone bash Laura Bush for being a humanitarian.  Thanks a lot, buddy.

    Brisket?  I recommend crock pot with cream of mushroom.  Only get flats.  You will need to trim the point off anyways.  Med heat for 4hrs should do it.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.
