I am sure GF knows as well as you and I do that the article was tongue in cheek satire!!!  Get off the high horse.

I know you will not believe this since you are looking through a "strong" (not extreme in your case) conservative right lens, but l have "strong" liberal left associates that think I am a bit too far right for comfort, after all I voted for several republicans in 2014 and have voted for the GOP candidate for president a s recently as 2004 (big mistake as it turns out).  If that makes me a moderate (HORRORS) so be it.  It is just that I strongly feel the current ideological gridlock in the country in general and congress specifically can only lead to eventual disaster for our nation.  How is it that compromise today for both parties has come to mean "you completely abandon your position and accept mine and we have a deal"?

If you look at the last 5 years overall this recovery has been slower to recover than any since the Great depression, but if you look at the last 2 years it has exceeded the average for recoveries since the depression.  Now that is a fact whether or not you and the rest of this forum like it!

Now Mr Hodja, since you commented on My post regarding whether we call this a war against Islam, Extreme Islam, Terrorists who claim to be Muslims, etc, etc, please give me your opinion of whether it is good for this to be seen as a religious war.  Should this be looked on as a "Christian" war against "Islam"?  I believe that whether it be such a war or not, if the Islamic world ever percieves it as such we have opend a Pandora's Box of horrors.  How can the moderate Islamic nations that support our efforts survive if that becomes the perception.  Each and every one would likely fall to ISIS or similar extreme elements.  What happens then?  I think President Obama realizes this and is trying to very hard to keep the lid on this pressure cooker while the Nut wing in Congress wants to blow it up! 

And finally...I DO NOT accuse anyone who does not agree with me as "hypocritical".  I DO accuse those with hypocrisy if they refuse to also condemn George W Bush for making the same statements that they so gladly condemn President Barack Obama for making!!!  If you do not consider that a textbook example of hypocrisy then you don't use the same Websters as I do.
