Naw, move the Democrats and Liberals to France.

Everyone is nude, even the ugly people.
105+% tax on the rich.
No guns at all.
No jobs either, but who cares?
Everyone is stuck up there, so they would feel right at home.
and more!
Can we make this happen?
Forced deportation of people based on a specific political affiliation?

It would be illegal, so it would require an executive order to do it. No Republican president would do it because of the illegality of it though.
So no final solution? Damn, lol.
Hillatraz anyone?

our last republican president didn't do anything illegal, that's why he can't leave the US because he'll be arrested and tried as a war criminal...

GWB along with Cheyney, Romsfeld, and a few other top officials were convicted absentia in several countries under UN regulations. Whether the conviction is binding internationally or not, the UN has a formal standing order to begin proceedings now that GWB is no longer under head of state immunity, though they haven't begun those and show no signs of actually doing it. Most UN countries have affirmed publicly that they will apprehend him to stand for war crimes if he sets foot in that country. Apparently, the Geneva convention forbid torture, who knew.

Does that also apply to Obama, or would that be considered racism?

Interesting. I just tried to search for it and found this:

Quote:
OTTAWA - Four men with detailed accounts of being tortured in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay have filed a complaint against Canada with the United Nations over Ottawa's refusal to prosecute former U.S. president George W. Bush.

It is the latest attempt by human rights advocates to arrest the former U.S. leader for alleged crimes perpetrated during the American-led fight against terrorism.

...

They maintain Canada should have investigated and prosecuted Bush during his visit to British Columbia last year, in compliance with the UN Convention Against Torture.

Personally? I think both Obama and GWB are guilty of treason, at the minimum.

Yeah, Canada is one of the noted exceptions.

your childish incendiary attempts aside, I honestly don't have a clue whether that would extend to future presidents or whether those enhanced interrogation methods are even still employed.

Here we go:

Quote:
It is time to set the record straight on Israel’s apartheid policy and genocide against Palestinians and to confront the enemies of truth.

The decades-long extermination of Palestinians, their Arab, Islamic and Christian cultures would not have been possible had the people in the US and Europe had access to objective media reports and facts about the situation in Palestine and Israel.

In reverse, European and US citizens have tolerated their governments complicity with Israeli crimes against Palestinians because billions are spent on a propaganda industry that positions Arabs as villains and sub-human while Israelis, Jews and indeed US and European citizens are positioned as the noble victims.

How pervasive this propaganda is was documented in Dr. Jack Shaheen’s book Real Bad Arabs and a movie under the same title, produced by The Media Education Foundation. Shaheen documents how badly Hollywood has contributed to positioning Arab people as uncivilized, brutal villains, terrorists and outright inhumane or sub-human.

Dr. Shaheen compares Hollywood’s positioning of Arabs with Nazi Germany’s anti-Jewish propaganda. He analyzed more than one thousand Hollywood movies from the oldest in the archives up to the latest Blockbusters in 2001. Nearly 25 percent of all Hollywood movies demean Arabs, concluded Shaheen.

Yes, it was about an interview about Benghazi, not Benghazi.

EDIT: Actually no it wasn't. The interview was about her book Hard Choices. Diane Sawyer asked maybe 3 questions tops about Benghazi, her interview hardly revolved around Benghazi.

I heard she has brain damage.

Point of order: The OP attempted to get every person who expressed a dissenting opinion topic banned and the mods got tired of it.

aww, somebody is a little upset that a certain somebody was banned from a random thread and have to throw a temper tantrum over it in other threads.

But whatever floats your boat.

Yeah that's pretty much it. Also that OP would try and taunt people in PMs after banning them, so it's kind of funny they would refer to the people that they tried to ban as ***. But then again those people proved to be far more intelligent and wittier than that OP could ever imagine to be. Also Mods found out that OP was a pathological liar and slightly delusional.

I'm honestly not sure who you are talking about, I asked a mod what happened to the thread and that's the answer I received. But do please turn this thread into a shitstorm, too.
