Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (History repeating itself with baseball hire)

Just you, big boy.
This comes one day after numerous people called for your full-time ban.
Let us know when Islamic terrorism and the inability of POTUS to ever speak of it are one of the layers.
It is already a federal offense to possess a machine gun, just like it is a federal offense to possess a shotgun with a barrel of less than 18 inches. Should we ban shotguns simply because they can be sawed-off?
Ketch, the killer's shameful hatred of gay people was a cause indeed, but it appears to have been animated (ultimately caused) by his zeal to follow radical notions of Islam, just as occurred in San Bernadino. Speaking ambiguously about the cause does no one any good.
From a Yahoo article if this is what you are alluding to:
"A close look at Obama’s rhetoric shows he has not referred to the “Islamic State” by that name since he plunged the U.S. military into an undeclared but escalating war against the group two years ago. Obama, who tends to stick with “ISIL,” explained his thinking roughly one month after the first U.S. airstrikes against the group.
“ISIL is not ‘Islamic.’ No religion condones the killing of innocents. And the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim,” he said on Sept. 10, 2014. “And ISIL is certainly not a state. “
Obama went on, “it is recognized by no government, nor by the people it subjugates. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.”
Senior administration officials say the president’s reasoning has not changed: Why needlessly alienate Muslim partners in the war on ISIS? Why lend any credence to the group’s claim to uphold Islamic tenets, helping it cloak violence in religion?"
I'm not qualified enough in the discussion to have an informed opinion. I don't know much about guns other than what I read and retain.
Reports are that he went to the club often and had a gay dating profile.
I'm going to continue to maintain this was a... wait for it... nuanced situation.
There you go again. A nuanced situation can have an obvious and ultimate cause. The points are not mutually exclusive. I get your desire to appear open-minded and hope we all can consider ourselves open-minded in our analysis. But, being open minded doesn't mean an obvious core cause, just because it is politically unfashionable to articulate, must be deep-sixed as you and others in the left feel compelled to do. For Obama to refuse to utter the words Islamic radicalism in this instance and San Bernadino, speaks volumes to his lack of honesty. Don't be like him.
LOL.
Hell Ketch, I got banned here for my opinion that Guy Clark had more talent than Prince.
That was a defensible view UNTIL Islamic radicals proved they could kill dozens of Americans in the United States on multiple occasions. Now that view is just sticking his head in the sand and pretending it isn't happening. We aren't being attacked by Jews or Christians or Buddists. We are being attacked by Muslims. Failing to acknowledge that is like not calling Hitler a Nazi because you might offend the Germans. It is what it is no matter what juvenile games Obama wants to play.
well, he's very talented. You almost certainly didn't get banned for that.
It's still a very defensible view. Still for all the reasons above.
Also, it's not just radical Muslims that are a problem. We have other radicals in this nation that are a severe issue. See the Indiana man headed to LA to do what he was aimed to do.
If you are referring to the Isil /Isis issue you addressed, you should understand that that is different from publicly acknowledging Islamic (by whatever name) terrorism in events were it isn't seriously in dispute and is indeed admitted by the killers. Again, honesty matters in a time when make- believe policy doesn't work for a nation whose innocents are now being slaughtered in the homeland. If I missed another post you made thst does address this I'll consider it further.
I'm willing to wave a flag and agree to disagree if everyone else is. Of course, I'll be accused of running by my alter ego.
9-11, San Bernadino, Orlando. They all have one thing in common. Can you figure it out?
I certainly did and, after reading the thread, you reinstated me - and rightfully so.
FTR, I could have a dozen posters call for my full time ban for singing God Bless America.
That should probably scream something very loud to you. Just a suggestion that it might be a possibility.
Insulting and threatening your subscriber base is certainly a different approach Ketch.
Good luck.
Radical Muslims hate Western culture. They hate the way we live. You can't appease them. You can't leave them alone because they will get stronger. They have proven that they are not the JV team. You must fight them militarily and destroy their base of operations. But you also must defeat their ideology. Radical Islam is no different from fascism or communism. We defeated them by calling them what they are and contesting them everywhere. You can't defeat radical Islam without naming it for what it is. It is not merely "workplace violence" or a criminal act. It is a war between our way of life and theirs. You can't defeat radical Islam if you are terrified to name it.
I don't know if the social justice warriors will wake up in time to realize the Muslim strategy is way ahead of us. True awake Christians wish they could do something, but there are too many asleep omnists in the way, fighting the wrong evil. Gay night clubs are just the tip of what they are prepared to do. Maybe Muhammad Ali was a great human, but I'm glad the terrorist Muslim religion lost his voice and symbol.
No I don't. I'm fine banning them but I know it won't change anything regarding terrorist killing innocent Americans. I truly believe banning guns only keeps them from the innocent which yes keeps less guns in the public. If banning guns worked Chicago(some of strongest gun laws in US) wouldn't have one of the highest murder rates in the US. I'm all for trying to fix some gun issues and agree some changes could be made but I know it won't change violence as it relates to terrorist or mentally ill.
I reckon so.
We agree on little, but best I can tell you let everyone say their piece so I have to give you that.
Dam Salty, You said "I'm intelligent enough" translation: "I realize I am pretty dumb". You reinforce the point that you are pretty dumb by saying " I'm not dumb enough to think"
Then you say carry on with your drivel to a dude that happens to be one of my all time favorite reporters.
All of a sudden I thought WOW THIS DUDE IS PRETTY DUMB. Just sayin.
