Treason does evoke a unique kind of horror.
I vividly remember when the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. It was certainly a gift from God to this nation, which was sacrificing itself in total mobilization against the Satanic forces of the Axis powers.
Millions of Americans in arms were poised to begin an invasion of Japan after the European war had been won, and perhaps a million would have lost their lives in what was sure to be the bloodiest campaign in history.
The bomb ended the Japanese resistance and the war, and we were on our knees in thanksgiving. With the atomic bomb, the world was sure to be safe for a long time to come.
...
Our present administration is bent on reducing American military power and diplomatic influence in the world. President Barack Obama has openly said that America has wielded too much power in the world.
He calls for “rich” nations to give up a big chunk of their riches to empower poorer countries, with a Utopian confidence that a family of nations would emerge in peace and cooperation.
There is justifiable suspicion that what he really seeks is an empowerment of Islam and its expansion of privilege and influence in America — this, even though nations where Islam rules are among the most dangerous and unstable regimes on earth.

What a delusional mix this guy is. He is a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist, a jingoistic, chest beating patriot believing in American exceptionalism and Christian fundie all rolled into one.
"I vividly remember when the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. It was certainly a gift from God to this nation, which was sacrificing itself in total mobilization against the Satanic forces of the Axis powers."
Surely, if the bombing of Hiroshima, and presumably Nagasaki, were gifts from God, then the omnipotent deity would have been able to prevent fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan from ever occuring, thus preventing war, as well as their (the Axis) atrocities? Just a thought.
"President Barack Obama has openly said that America has wielded too much power in the world."
He has a point.Don't like terrorism? -Stop sticking your friggin nose everywhere its not wanted.
How's that "Liberate Iraq" working for you, BTW?
...you cannot be fucking serious. You... You just... No. I am so angry I can't even think of anything to say. I just read the first paragraph, and I am absolutely outraged. I don't even care about the second "Obama is the evil muslim commie gay black Antichrist" part, because frankly that's expected at this point, but the first part... NO! FUCKING NO!

Wait... so because Obama wants rich nations to help poor ones, that means... Islam Antichrist something? What?
Wasn't Jesus always saying to help the unfortunate and all those other good things? If they love him so much, why do they hate his words?
Actually, the country that sacrificed the most in the fight against the Nazis was the old Soviet Union. The A-Bomb was built mainly by Jewish refugees. And that business about empowering poor countries? I think every president since Ike has been saying something similar. It was the whole point of the Marshall Plan.

Boots on the ground in other people's countries is not the same as power.

Um, just like the US did in 1946, after World War II was brought to a close by that "gift from God." This is one of the ways the US wields power that doesn't involve troops.
Interestingly, treason is the only crime that is specifically defined in the constitution.
Article 3, section 3: Treason - Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
In what way has Obama levied war against the U.S. or aided/comforted the enemy? Before you answer, keep in mind that there has been no declaration of war against any enemies.
"The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1939, but grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US$2 billion (about $26 billion in 2014 dollars)" Funny kind of gift.
Just another version of "God saved me, not those EMT people with years of training and student loan debt," on a larger scale.
I notice that your god never gifts anyone peace via more admirable methods. He never incites peace talks but he quite readily directs whoever he's in the mood to support into bloody conflict with their neighbors. He never cured an epidemic of plague but he was happy enough to spread disease. He'll knock down the walls of a city he doesn't much care for so his people can murder its inhabitants and loot the ruins but he can't be arsed to build some for the one city he claims to give a shit about. His every method of bringing "peace" only leads to even worse conflict, setting people that would have otherwise had little quarrel with one another at each other's throats for centuries and millennia to come. He should be very ashamed of himself that the vastly weaker and short-lived creatures he built out of boredom have come to surpass him in wisdom and maturity.
No wonder you myth addicts see peace through intelligent dialogue and compromise as a negative thing; your role model wouldn't know how to take the high road if it came equipped with an escalator and a looping instructional video.
What century are you living in, Ernie? The world has changed since the 50's; the US is no longer the biggest or best kid on the block. Fattest maybe, but not the biggest. You embody all the negative stereotypes about the US, so please do the world a favor & die.
the first atomic bomb ... was certainly a gift from God to this nation
atomic bomb ... a gift from God
Honestly, I have no words.
Okay, as a student of history I will grant you that an invasion of Japan would have been bloody and I will also grant you that they acted like monsters during the war but fuck you. Japan was on its last leg when the bombs were dropped and we could have merely shown them a test without murdering, mutilating, and/or poisoning them with these bombs. While an enemy may be cruel it is quite unnecessary to sink down to their level because then what moral superiority do we have? He who fights monsters becomes one.
P.S. Fuck you again Ernest Williams, you sick fuck.
With the atomic bomb, the world was sure to be safe for a long time to come.
Yeah, the Cuban Missile Crisis was just a misunderstanding.
Most of the Axis considered themselves as doing God's work, just like you. They thought of the Allies as Satanic forces.
The European war was mostly won by Russian soldiers.
People are still dying from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs, asshole.
Poorer nations are dangerous and unstable.
Some of the fundies in America want to implement sharia-like laws in the US. No, not the Muslim fundies; the Christian fundies.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
