Gingrich Attacks Obama, Says He Has an Anti-Colonial World View - Polidicks

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;24797252]I guess you're right, of course, that is why we have Imperialism!:hist101: Of course, that doesn't seem to be working out quite well now, either.[/QUOTE] None of it's working. Using barbaric reasons and methodology in a modern reality seems like trying to be the most conservative government possible.

[QUOTE=DamagePoint;24792362]He is also on the Republican hot-list for presidential candidates in 2012.[/QUOTE] He's now on my to shoot list. along with Old man Phelps from WBC and that "save a life, kill an abortionist and her fetus" guy. Too bad it'll require an insanely lucky shot all the way from Europe. Seriously though. the Idiocy in non scandinavian politics can really piss me off. how is it that only our politicians actually know when to shut up and discuss it among themselves in the room that was meant for it? Sensational press+ American showman politics= retarded, good for nothing politicians riding on scandals rather than good politic ideals.

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;24797106]Colonialism is settling land for profit, expand influence of the metropole, or to escape the metropole. Imperialism is "stealing" land, brosauce. Albeit, colonialism [B]typically leads into imperialism,[/B] or at least points to a latent imperialist doctorine of the metropole.[/QUOTE] there's your problem

Anti colonialist? Isnt that ironic how hes president of probably the biggest country to be settled by colonists known to man?

It is when i red these things im happy that i live in Sweden. Atleast it´s not that bad [editline]08:33PM[/editline] yet [editline]08:33PM[/editline] :sweden:

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;24796465]Which is why they cut her off for saying Georgia invaded Russia. Which they did.[/QUOTE] Georgia invaded South Ossetia, a breakaway region from their own country.

[QUOTE=Vinze;24792395]Republicans have always been greedy and evil, they actually wanted to prolong the cold war in order to be more efficient with their scare-tactics. They are derranged, greedy people who thinks the world is still what it was a century ago.[/QUOTE] Uh, then why did Reagan start a spending war with Russia and opened diplomacy with the USSR, which eventually led to its collapse, when Gorbachev started adopting capitalistic ideologies...

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;24809235]Uh, then why did Reagan start a spending war with Russia and opened diplomacy with the USSR, which eventually led to its collapse, when Gorbachev started adopting capitalistic ideologies...[/QUOTE] when did ANY of this happen? you are literally making shit up

[QUOTE=Warhol;24809521]when did ANY of this happen? you are literally making shit up[/QUOTE] He's basically right, but it's slightly different. Reagan increased tensions with the USSR by raising military spending to 7% of the GDP during his first term so the USSR raised theirs to 23%. When Gorbachev came to power in 1985, he tried to reform the economy because of stagnation and Reagan and Gorbachev signed the INF treaties. Gorbachev abandoned the Brezhnev doctrine causing revolts in many Eastern Bloc countries. This, combined with Glasnost, Perestroika, and an attempted coup led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

My first thought when I saw the title was of some Godzilla-esque fight over Washington DC between a giant Obama and some kind of winged reptile.

[quote]He's actually right. Reagan increased tensions with the USSR by raising military spending to 7% of the GDP causing Gorbachev to raise the USSR's to 23%, making him realize their economy was shit and tried to reform it. [/quote] Gahhh. How many time does this have to be run through people's heads? If the soviet union had wanted to, they could have gone on until today. Granted, things might be starting to look like best korea, but if they had wanted to, they would have. The reason it ended is that Gorby called it. If there had been a hardliner instead of friendly "reform communism into a democratic form" Gorby, things would likely have gone on to this day.

On the other hand, it would be a different world without colonialism though. Judge that.

People like him are the reason why I propose an age limit on who could take a seat in the House, or Senate. I don't want old fucks judging 'youngions' and their 'radical' actions.

I want to hurt someone now.

[QUOTE=BmB;24811086]I want to hurt someone now.[/QUOTE] Start with Gingrich.

[quote]"What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?" Gingrich asked. "That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior." "This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president," Gingrich added.[/quote] Seriously, what the fuck. He is too ignorant to understand why someone else would do as they do, and he.... He [b]DARES[/b] to even [i]suggest[/i] that this IGNORANCE.... THAT IT IS EVEN REMOTELY COMPARABLE TO A SCIENTIFIC THEORY?! [img]http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/kenpachi_angelus/Hulk.jpg[/img]

Yotsuba SMASH

Africa was better off with colonialism then now.

Kenyan anti colonialism, a real life term since 2010. :smug:

[quote]"This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president," Gingrich added.[/quote] :irony: :irony: :irony:

Isn't being anti-colonial a good thing?

[QUOTE=Warhol;24810963]That really has nothing to do with Capitalism or Reagan.[/QUOTE] So Gorby just up and decided to put Perestroika and Glasnost into effect, just for the fun of it? You are retarded.

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;24812135]So Gorby just up and decided to put Perestroika and Glasnost into effect, just for the fun of it? You are retarded.[/QUOTE] hahahahaha ok, so perestroika and glasnost were both capitalist ideas put in place because reagan said to? what fucking magical world are you living in you fucking idiot? or he was looking to reform an oppressive doctrine like the Brezhnev doctrine? complete and total overhaul of policy happened literally every single new premier in the Soviet union Was Destalinisation also a result of Reagan?

Perestroika was the economic restructuring of the Russian economy and political systems to a more free-market and democratic area. Without Reagan's diplomacy with Gorby, these might have never happened. Why am I even arguing with you anyway, you think communism could actually work.

Why did I read this as "The Grinch Attacks Obama"? :tinfoil: Anyway, this guy is right, colonialism is bad.

So what Mr. Gingrich has done is nothing more than use fancy words to make his fools of followers think "Gee, that must mean Anti-[I]American[/I]!"

what's wrong with colonialism. if there was no colonalism, the states wouldn't have been founded.

[QUOTE=TheMourge;24815332]what's wrong with colonialism. if there was no colonalism, the states wouldn't have been founded.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it wasn't like millions of people already lived here or anything.
