> [@Wesley\_Clark](#): > > That belief isn’t nearly as prevalent as it was in 2009, at least in my limited experience. I think even the irrational ones have to look at what Obama has done the last 7 years and realize it hasn’t been that bad. I don’t think so. Some people still think that Obamacare is the End Times, that Obama raised our taxes and is going to get our guns, that he relied on illegal immigrants to win election, that he gave Iran nuclear weapons, and so on and on and on. ---

Funny thing is, if all of those things were true, liberals would conclude that Obama was a pretty good President. ---

No, but I think most would settle for Iran having nukes if the alternative was war. If Iran gets nukes, Obama still avoided war, so it’s all good, right? ---

> [@adaher](#): > > Funny thing is, if all of those things were true, liberals would conclude that Obama was a pretty good President. No, I don’t want the End Times. No, I don’t want Iran to have nukes. Obama pursued the most effective means to prevent that. I would like taxes raised and I do want to take guns away, but we don’t need votes of non-citizens to win presidential races. ---

Which brings me to the next thing I don’t understand. Why do Christians dread the End Times? I can see why you or I would, it would mean our doom, but Christians get to go to heaven. Probably alive. ---

> [@adaher](#): > > No, but I think most would settle for Iran having nukes if the alternative was war. If Iran gets nukes, Obama still avoided war, so it’s all good, right? I think there is no realistic alternative to Iran getting nukes, if Iran _actually wants nukes_. Even a ground-war probably wouldn’t stop them (and might accelerate them). The best hope we have and had is to offer them an alternative, and the deal seems to be the best real-world alternative. ---

> [@marshmallow](#): > > The Nazis were pretty big on PC. Indeed they were: They rejected whole fields of science because they thought they were “Jewish”, not to mention all of the art they decided was Politically Incorrect, and the fact they condemned whole groups of humans to the bonfires for being un-PC. Pointing out how similar this is to the GOP’s position on, say, climate science, is Politically Incorrect. Anyway: “Hitler is coming, Göring’s getting fat, Please put a _Reichsmark_ in the old man’s hat! If you don’t have a _Reichsmark_, your papers will do, And if you don’t have your papers, come right this way, we have some _questions_ for you!” There. Now all of you are infected as well. ---
