My opinion here of Clinton was as an unsavoury candidate....
....As a liberal I couldn't vote Liberal in our federal election because they were already dickering with big business how to lobby their expected new government before the election.... Savory, unsavory, still palatable, eh? I, for one, am glad that big corporate pulp timber is a small business. Otherwise, I could never work with them to lobby for my narrow, local, self interest. Did I ever mention how gov and greed ravages the dignity and progress of the native Canadian?

Thank you CB and Ken for making my point. I guess you just admitted that Obama was not the only one to allow extremists to propagate.
But as you live in your own realities, I'm sure that you will give him all the credit for everything leading up to recent events. Like I said before...psychosis can be infectious, you seem to have caught it from kieth, who is obviously not intelligent enough to back up his opinion with anything other then insults.
Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

You've just distorted it to fit your partisan political beliefs. The issue is how these Islamist uprising have been handled in the past, and how Obama failed, with his actions actually encouraging them. Specifically in the case of Isis. The British were effective in dealing with'em, like the Assassins, The Sepoy Uprising, and the Mahdi uprising in the Sudan ending at Omdurman, etc. We've also dealt with'em before at the "Shores of Tripoli", and TR's actions in Morocco. To compare anything like those to Obama's actions is rediculous.
I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Nice try ken...your delusions are symptom of your psychosis. The facts are in your post. Not surprised you don't even believe the things you wrote as facts, as facts any more.

If the English were so successful what happened to their empire? The conservative thinking and actions are the best friends extremists have. More involvement and boots on the ground simply swells their ranks even more.

How much gov and biz ravages depends often where you live. Some forest communities have the push and competence to become masters of their destinies, running the industry from the bottom-up, as we do in Nova Scotia, the most radical institutional change on the continent.
Governments delegated their private lands responsibilities to landowners and mills dropped in line after they proved the only way to reach their forestry and environmental goals, at a fraction of the cost with no public blowback, was to turn away from the old top-down technocratic and bureaucratic control.
I've told the story here before but it bears recounting at these junctures of economic and social uncertainty that countries and communities don't need to suffer from savoury or unsavoury political mismanagement if they know the tools of influence and communications and how to use them.
Apologies again for heavy during our celebratory spiritual days although a message that the world isn't going to hell where the people take their civic responsibilities seriously should always be worth a toot. Toot toot.

Dal, you're simply in denial. You're also projecting your issues on others. Denial, Dismissal, and Demonization. All the Hallmarks of anti-intellectual, faith-based beliefs.

Like I said before...psychosis can be infectious, you seem to have caught it from kieth, who is obviously not intelligent enough to back up his opinion with anything other then insults. Dal, I'll walk you through it. I made the point that Obama/Hillary's encouragement and then mishandling/abandonment of the 'Arab Spring" gave rise in the short term to the conditions that allowed ISIS, primarily an association of Islamic thugs and militants who had been part of Saddam's government, to form and grow into what we now know it to be. You suggested that it was the US toppling Saddam that started Islamic extremism in the ME. A few of us made the point, to counter your assertion that Islamic extremism is a recent phenomenon, that it had been going on long before the Bush/Saddam situation. You read this to mean we have contradicted ourselves?? Please try again. I don't know about alternate realities or psychoses but I do understand reading comprehension and you seem to be lacking in it.

Easy. The Soviet Union and Communist Subversion happened to the British Empire.
