Hmm breaking story, shots fired at the capitol building.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-capitol-building-lockdown-n546776

In 2008 Obama said that he is "not going to play the same old washington game a little better, I'm going to change the way the game is played".

So do you guys think Obama actually accomplished this? Did this man change the way the game is played?

Hmm, well the way the game was played did change. But it was more the Republicans and their obstructionism that did it than anything Obama did.

So the answer is no Obama did not change the game. Who knows maybe he didn't say it, I got the quote from a Young Turks video:

Glad no one was killed and it seems the only injury is a non lethal to the shooter?

Remember, it's very important that we focus on this guy's religion if he's a Muslim. If he isn't a Muslim, than his religion/religion shouldn't even be mentioned.

edit: Should also note that if the suspect is black, we should focus on his skin color. If he isn't black, than his skin color shouldn't be mentioned or only be mentioned in passing.

This is true of a lot of things. If a cop kills a criminal and he's black and the cop is white the race will be mentioned too. It won't be "cop kills criminal" it will be "white cop kills black teen" or something. Crazy world amirite?

Hmm, well but the game did change. Like, perhaps he was going to change it to the mess that exists now, but since it had already been changed he didn't need to...

This is an interesting angle and of course if true then Obama is 100% correct in his predictions about being a game changer. If only it weren't for the fact the game wasn't changed for the better.

Sort of like the little kid who scores a goal in soccer, but accidentally kicked the ball into the wrong goal is a game changer.

Except of course where we have decades and decades of police abuse of black people (especially males) and black people getting harsher sentences for committing similar or sometimes equal crimes than their non-black criminal counterparts. But those facts ruin the notion that there isn't some level of prejudice and unfairness in the America, so forget it.

Yeah, though like, blame where it's due, Obama has tried to work with Republicans to get things done, but they have decided to take their ball and go home. It's not an "they are equally bad" thing, one side factually shat the bed (the Republicans).

I'm not sure who you're speaking about when youre adding that last part, unless it's some kind of emotional reaction in which case, carry on. Nobody is arguing that there is "some level of prejudice and unfairness." That's just silly. Also anyone taking anything Michael Moore says seriously should get his head checked.

Hey, you're back. Welcome.

Better attitude and objectivity to deal with some of the crap here🙂

The crazy wing of the Republican party had taken over....perhaps you can add some reason

I intend to. But in their defense, I've seen the stupidity of Lestov and Lucius (that the left has conveniently ignored) that have reached deranged and idiotic proportions, making the right wing on this site appear sane by comparison. But there really is nobody here that's center right or center left other than maybe dadumon and maybe delph? The right wing is super right and the left is super left. With that said, it's time for some objectivity!

There's no defense for what posters like Star used to post.

Took me some digging up but I believe in one of his weekly psychotic left winged manifestos repeatedly wished the death of all conservatives, was ecstatic over the death of Scalia, and compared fighting conservatives to Von Clausewitz and a "just war", if I'm not mistaken.. I'm wondering where I've heard such madness before....Hmm. But as a liberal, maybe you missed that entire diatribe, now that I'm looking at it, I don't think anyone's ever actually responded to his incoherent ramblings so maybe it was missed. But no, there's obviously no defense for the stuff star has said, nor is there a purpose to opening these retarded threads with an agenda.

Who are you referring to?

Lucius. And then a lot of stuff Lestov says is just flat out stupid, its sounds like an indoctrinated college grad, but not too offensive because it's just stupidity. Point is, this place seems way out of control because there isn't even a modicum of objectivity or respect for the differences of political ideologies.
