Listen Boys & Girls, Obama Him Says We Live In The "Most Peaceful" Era In Human History. Ain't That Swell?

I'm sure all that human history first for peacefulness is all due to him inside his precious little narcissistic delusional swell-headed addlepated boobyhatch.
Meanwhile as he speaks in Germany about how wonderfully peaceful things are, gangs of young Muslim thugs are attacking German women for being escorted and/or not wearing tents.
And all those Muslim "refugees" would not even be in Germany if Obama had not ignored his generals and pulled out troops to create the vacuum from which ISIS sprang.

    For me the scariest part of the speech is that health care is now a right (granted by the government). This "right" granted by Obama doubled my insurance costs. And, for me, this is socialism in it purest form and is the forerunner to more "rights" that will enslave us further.

    Obama: We're Living in 'Most Peaceful' Era in Human History ???
    Either this man is delusional or hallucinogenic compounds have been legalized in the White House………and that is a terrifying fact for those of us who pay attention.
    Um, let's see:
    1. Korea being allowed to build nukes.
    2. An agreement with the biggest terrorist nation, Iran, gives them billions of dollars to spread around to more of their terrorists.
    3. An ambassador and his protective servicemen murdered with a total disregard of sending help.
    4. France has a terrible terrorist bombing.
    5. Turkey shoots down Russian jet that crossed over into their airspace.
    6. Russian military jets buzzing our ships within feet.
    7. The three chin leader of N. Korea threatening to hit us with nuclear weapons.
    8. Iraq in turmoil…Afghanistan too and much of Africa.
    9. A budget deficit in our country that will not bring peace to the people in this country.
    10. Major insurance companies abandoning Obamacare due to high costs, just as a lot of people said before passed.
    11. Supporting terrorists over supporting our friends like Israel.
    You can keep your doctor, remember that?
    Obama has been a disgrace and a disaster for this country and the world and…… he has promoted division of our country instead of unity.

    He lies like nobody in history……and when caught…..lies about his lies!

    Only 266 ½ days left before Empty Suit, President Golf Cart leaves office and is replaced by Hillary Rotten Clinton, for the 3rd term for Obama.

    Robert A. Heinlein, early in his career, said: "'Peace' is a condition in which no civilian pays attention to military casualties that do not achieve page-one, lead-story prominence, unless said civilian is a relative of one of the casualties. But...there has [n]ever been a time in history in which 'peace' meant there was no fighting going on." (From Starship Troopers) So if Obama has made us numb to military casualties that do not achieve page-one, lead-story prominence, then he might get away with his statement.

    Of course, Rand never had any patience with the anti-war movement. Mainly because she saw the United States--or rather, the ideal of the United States that first made her want to flee here--as an oasis of freedom in a desert of tyranny. Therefore the rest of the world constituted the enemies of freedom.

    Haven't you all noticed that any other libertarian assumes there need be no enemies but what we make? "War is the health of the State," someone--whom Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) quoted extensively during his career--said.

    By some measure it is true. There hasn't been a shooting war between major powers since WW2. Also many levels of violence are down by the statistics. The big picture is lost often in news that concentrates on the bad or scary. However Obama does not deserve any credit for this.

      Except for the proxy war between the US and China in Korea disguised as an UN "police action"... and that other little proxy war with the USSR in Vietnam... Just because we're not fighting an European power does not mean there isn't a shooting war between major powers, especially since the "major powers" line is now blurred...

      Also, those killed in these "minor skirmishes" such as Kosovo or Somalia or even Iraq or Afghanistan ... is still dead. To them, the enemy that shot them and killed them is a pretty major enemy.

      Like most of his other statements seem (to me, at least) it's a bald-faced and blatant attempt to rewrite history, knowing full well that if people hear it on the TV more than once they will take it as gospel... because it's too damned much work to do research and too much bother to challenge the status quo - especially while "Dancing with the stars" is on, and the new season of "Homeland" starts immediately after...

      I expect more of this as soon as out appointed dynastic president gets her predetermined position handed to her.

          You know what they said... "To Err is Truman"...

          Gotta remember who also decided to usher us into the nuclear war era... and how soon it was after he took his oath of office (and learned of the "Devices" our scientists had built)...

          Same way - the Vietnam Civil War had been going on ever since the French were embroiled in it (same era as Korea... hmm... ), NOT our battle, and yet we were deep into it, and throwing more and more into it, for the next 7 or so years...

            Truman sent some advisers and evaluators. As did Eisenhower. they had negative reports on success probabilities. Due in no small part to the French who by this time had lost a great deal of their slave empire. Diego Garcia featured Seychelles and Mauritian people in that role until the British drove the French out of the business.

            When JFK took office they stayed in country but only small amounts of advisers. JFK to his credit finally ordered them out of Vietnam. Then he was killed. LBJ reversed the order, manufactured the Tonkin gulf incident and started sending in more troops.

            That one is on LBJ's head start to finish. Had he not started it the rest would never have happened insofar as near 60,000 dead US troops were concerned. That started another chain of events. LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obomba. LBJ has a lot to answer for that one.

            Bush I gets credit for Kuwait Bush II for Iraq.

            Obomba gets credit for all the deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq II. Going back in time Wilson for WWI, FDR for WWII, Truman for Korea. Large or small the numbers are relative.

            Clinton gets credit for Kosovo as soon as anyone can figure out why let the rest of the world know.

            The final excuse turned out to be genocide but that was disproved . Back to Vietnam.

            My Dad remarked one time the reason for sending any body at all to South Vietnam was to protect strategic and rarer metals. he had heard it on Television.

      Tell itg to the soldiers sent out to die then abandoned by the left. Relativism depends on view point. It's quite different with real bullets punctuating each thought.

      Obama is a modern day version of a war lover. Those sick twisted people who use the status of war and the thousands killed or genocided as a shield and somehow calls it a time of peace.

      Or as we use to say in the old days. Tell it to the Marines. A pplite way of calling it Obama BS busienss as usual he's a war monger no different from any other just trying to evaade resonsibility

    I think it's time to hold the people that voted (twice) for him believe him responsible, no one holds him responsible for anything. How can such a joke continue to hold the presidency of the United States of America? How can anyone still support him? I'm flabbergasted to say the least.

    Ah, peace. Ain't it grand? Of course Chicago manages to kill several people every day. The Middle East is blessed with ISIS a group that kills on a grand scale, but at least the people they kill are at peace. Especially the little children. There are so many more examples of peace, but I don't want to turn your brains into cauliflower.

    He got elected promising to pull the troops out and stop the war. It's been seven years and three months of non stop combat ...who the hell does that suck(er) think he's foolijng. Can tell he's never seen a battlefield. Chicken Doo Doo. That means his whole legacy is one big pile of fertilizer.

      That promise bagged him an instant coffee kinda Nobel Prize before his throne in the offal office even got warm.
      Now that he's fulfilled his be careful what you wish for wonderful promise, the results are still coming in for people (including kids) murdered, tortured, raped, conquered and sexually enslaved (that last item mostly little girls). At least Barack Hussein Obama's favorite religion is being shoved down lore terrorized throats.
      Wow, what a legacy!
      Way to go, Your Highness! Polish that Nobel Prize with pride!

      President Barack Obama said "We are fortunate to be living in the most peaceful, most prosperous, most progressive era in human history"
      This is what I was talking about. He didn't keep his word about closing Gitmo, there has been over 100 mass shooting more than 4 times as much then any other President, He has pass gun control laws that prevent HONEST people from protecting themselves. Is this why you say I lost the religious vote? I am confused.

        How much mass is a mass. Let's see a few is two or three, several is four to seven. hmmmm what is the definition of mass? pause for research.

        The lowest number is two unless it's a linear series of State execution or one or more socialists.

        For the common clay citizens a core sample is required but the fast method is find the listing in a Fictionary which means pre-1980

    One day some years afteer the 2016 election I happened to run into our immediate past President. After introductions..."So Michael what do you think now the dust has settled and perhaps you had a chance to compare. What do you think of me now?"

    "Why Mr. Obama I don't think about you."

    AR couldn't have invented a better personification of that line.

    How much more proof is necessary to understand that this poor excuse for a human is NOT in touch with reality. When you take into consideration that he is a muslim it becomes clear why he says what he says, this is peaceful times for them. Give someone the job of president of a country and that person functions under the delusion that they can say what ever they want and get away with it.
    My question is, is there a reporter that will contradict the statement? If so name that one person!
    This poor excuse for a human is simply put "sickening" to listen too!

    I suspect that compared with the 1900's, right NOW is much more peaceful mostly because we arent fighting nuclear war or the threat of it directly. Human nature seems to be bent towards fighting and war for eternity. I suspect war will break out in the future again.

      If you are accusing me of attacking the man and not his position, seems to me you might as well call me a racist as libtards do to get people to shut up and sit down.
      Now that would be an ad hominem attack.
      I have found that I am against almost everything Obama stands for. So that would set me against the man. I think the Castro brothers suck too.
      I consider King Barry and his "fundamental change" to be an enemy of the Constitution and freedom just as I do such Progressives as Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi..That also goes for enabling kiss-ups like Paul Ryan and his weepy predecessor.
      And you actually think Obama is actually probably right? Tell that to the countess and still growing victims of ISIS, who Obama's wimpy leadership had a hand in creating.

        Yes. So at least you understand somewhat what an ad hominem is. And followed it up with a non sequitur.

        All the stats on warfare, global homicide rates, poverty and starvation levels, as well as the near elimination of slavery support the president's statement.

            The left doesn't believe in using facts and resources that can be checked. They just keep changing the subject and lie a little bit more.

            Balanced Budget With A Surplus should have taught you that.

            For all this one knows ad hominem means a special on grits in the Sunday specials section. He has yet to present one fact or one resource and borrowed his whole paragraph from me. I noted when I did introduce the resources on another of his factless rants ----there was no answer.

            While you'll have to be a little more specific on the "that" I'm not going to do your homework for you. The numbers are easy to find. You are the one that has no facts. So why don't you actually put together a logical fact based position and start over.

              Hello xthinker88,
              Statistically, globally, I believe that is correct. I do not however ascribe any of the good stats to Obama. The curve was on its way down before O took office. In fact these global stats would probably be better without his divisive policies. I will also posit that peace is a relative and often provincial matter. Also a police state of cowed citizens is clearly more peaceful than open war, as is a "war" where drones do the killing while avoiding substantial boots on the ground. People living in fear may be peaceful, and statistically it looks good, but is it living? Is it Free? Clearly there are places O has made things worse and where some regimes keep the peace through tyranny.
              Fewer people are being killed in war and the decline has generally fallen since WWII. Of course, when one measures from such an event of that magnitude it can appear no other way. http://knowmore.washingtonpost.com/20...

                Thanks OA; This certainly helps this discussion.

                So, is this a compilation of armed conflict deaths? What about the 20 million Chinese that died of starvation and incarceration because of their own fabulous leader, Mao?

                  Again I'm reminded of the Chairman Mao ornament photographed on the first Obama White House Christmas tree.
                  So I guess that 20 million does not count.

                        Well done, old friend. There is much retroactive heaving needed here. 2009? I missed this one.

                        But, instead of heaving, I think some adult beverage will do. But not much, there is the risk of double heaving.

                        But seriously, I was in the process of moving to Elko, NV in mid-2008. I was living at a friends dilapidated old office trailer at the end of the runway at the Elko airport while house hunting and starting work. And then Obubblehead's plane flew into the airport on the campaign trail. That disgusting rainbow symbol was on the side of at least a 737 and pulled up here of all places. Elko is as conservative/constitutionalist as it can get.

                        Since my access road to the trailer did a 180 three legged turn around the end of the runway, I thought for sure, I am stuck here. Security will never let me leave and go into town. But nothing. Notta. But the whole way that plane was the worst offense I have seen.

                        Elko does not get 737's, unless it's politics. And this was the worst.

                  Understood. Yes. I like to watch Stossel and he is fond of bringing the stats up. It is true. Statistically we have better odds of avoiding calamity and life spans have generally been increasing. The Media can't get ratings by hyping that. :) Of course this does not exonerate anyone...

                  Hey, did you hear Stossel has been treated for throat or lung cancer? Bad News...

                    And he fails to point out that compared to the horrendous 20th Century, we are merely just back to background noise, and then of course, what is next? A nuclear holocaust? And that could be something he could take "credit" for.

              You're the one who brought your "all the stats" up.
              One would think such "stats" would be at your fingertips.
              The facts I know are the bloody terrorist attacks and the ISIS atrocities in the news every time I blink. I've also been reading about slavery not only for sex but for forced labor, such as getting work out of fishermen for exports to America..
              Stats as well as polls are too often put together by people with agendas.

                Yes. Forgive me for trying to interject facts and logic into one of your silly rants. They are at my fingertips. In fact I've read several of the articles again in the meantime. But you aren't really worth the effort of the two seconds it would take me to cut and paste them. If you were interested in truth then you could easily find them yourself.

                  I was interested in your "all the stats" truth.
                  Since I'm not worth your effort, I would like to say I was not all impressed with your "ad hominem" and "non sequitor" Latin jibes straight out of my Troy State Philosophy 101 book called "Applied Logic." You see, that course covered "prestige jargon" also.

                    Wow. See. You are capable of looking up things you do not understand. I suppose that if you need to look them up then they might seem like jargon. To people that understand logic they are just words with specific meanings to be used when relevant.

                      The landlord was so afraid I'd sue, he let me eat for free at his barbecue joint, which I did all my senior year.
                      I could not eat barbecue for two years after that.

    People who think we live in the most peaceful era in history: term2, sjatkins, xthinker, and CircuitGuy
    People who think we do not live in the most peaceful era in history: Olduglycarl, MichaelAarethun, Technocracy, Abaco, allosaur, Tamlakos, wiggys, rtpetrick

    jbrenner points out peace is not the same as the absence of violence, which may explain why people have opposite views. Maybe if the quote were "we live in the least violent era in human history" more people would agree.
