Imagine A President Michelle Bachman. Imagine Her Ordering Airstikes Against Liberal Cities Like SF

[Yavin4]

NYC, Berkeley, and Madison.

Would you want the international community to condemn her and intervene?

I would.

2. And rounding up the un-loyal DU. n/t

[Yavin4]

4. I have not yet heard a counter argument

to my question.

[RKP5637]

11. Yep, I would want someone to help us! Definitely!!! n/t

[Yavin4]

14. Thank you.

And I would hope that the U.N. and the international community would do everything in its power to stop it.

3. Intervene, yes. A wholesale slaughter of the soldiers? no.

[Yavin4]

6. How Else Do You Intervene to Stop Soldiers from Killing Innocent Civilians?

When soldiers open fire on unarmed civilians engaging in protests, how does one go about stopping them?

[aSpeckofDust]

16. We are not immune from this.

Don't be so quick to deal out death, frodo.

5. Imagine the King of Bahrain allowing police to shoot civilians.....

oh wait.

[Yavin4]

8. Did the King of Bahrain Order Air Strikes?

Also, you cannot answer my question. You deflected it to another debate point.

[FLAprogressive]

10. So it's OK to slaughter civilians on the ground but not by air? Your OP is too absurd to dignify a

real response.

[Yavin4]

13. Never Said That. And Your Lack of a Counter Response Is Telling

Thank you for proving my point.

7. Who would be the armed rebels in this scenario?

Also, what do you mean by "intervene", since that could mean anything?

[Yavin4]

9. There Are No Armed Rebels in My Scenario

President Bachman is acting on orders from God to cleanse the nation of the non-believers.

And "intervene" means using any means possible to stop the slaughter of innocent people in these cities.

Now, that I answered your questions. Can you answer my original question?

[arcane1]

19. In that case, no

Under such an absurd and impossible scenario, she could be easily taken care of internally.

Plus, the phrase "any means possible" is totally unacceptable. That could be anything from a stern warning to nuking DC.

12. But Pelosi is evil!

:hide: :sarcasm:

[abelenkpe]

15. Yeah scare people with BS that will never happen

so they don't complain and all agree with you. You want DU to walk in lockstep?

[Yavin4]

17. How Would You Know That It Would Never Happen?

What exists to prevent it from never happening?

[abelenkpe]

21. Dood

c'mon she's crazy! Look I know it's frustrating that not everyone on the left agrees all the time, but we never have. And it's disturbing to see people belittle others concerns and use the rationale that if we don't all agree on supporting something that a lunatic on the right will get into office. Y'know that if it came down to that liberals would all still vote for Obama even if they totally disagreed with the strength of HCR, or extending tax cuts for the stinkin' rich, or getting involved in Libya. We're not unthinking republicans walking in lockstep chanting rah rah rah go team and no one should be pressuring people to do that.

Palin was a huge mistake for the republicans...she turned off voters who still actually possessed a working brain. If they didn't go for her, they are not gonna go for her crazier cousin in a legitimate election.

18. LOL. Never say never. n/t

[Taverner]

23. denial - not just a river in Egypt anymore...

[abelenkpe]

24. that makes no sense

maybe you need to up your meds.

[Taverner]

25. George Bush II would NEVER get elected!

Ronald Reagan??? A two bit actor?? Nah never get elected

You just keep telling yourself those lies...maybe when you believe your own bullshit pigs will fly

[damntexdem]

20. Oh, no: she'd go straight to nukes.

;-)

[Taverner]

22. I could seriously see her doing that

I can already hear the groans "oh she'd NEVER do that...I mean she's bad but not that bad"

Wake the fuck up

The USA is at a crossroads - go the way of the Wiemar Republic or fix the problems inherent in our government

I am certain Bachmann would make a very believable Hitler

And mention Godwin and I'll smack you
