As the first African-American elected President of the United States, Barack Obama became a pivotal figure in American history even before his inauguration. But after winning a second term in 2012, his achievements in office have made him one of the most t***sformative presidents of the past hundred years.

The Democratic Party is now a C*******t Party. C*******m is based on the idea that the world is divided into 2 groups. The oppressed & the oppressor. You can see that evident in all forms of Marxist propaganda: social justice, economic justice, political correctness, even environmentalism (the selfish, unconcerned capitalist) In political correctness the enemy is always a r****t or bigot. (an unfair h**er) The i***t left just can't conceive that somebody might be biased because some people have no character or integrity and hold an ideology that sucks (like Obama, for instance) And neither social justice, nor economic justice have anything to do with real justice. Generally speaking liberals (progressives/socialist/c*******t) don't believe in God, so they fail to realize that God gave us free will so that we shall make of our lives what we will through our own initiative, hard work and talent. We are all born equal and equal under the law, but we don't stay that way, unless a stupid ideological system like c*******m is imposed upon us. --- Like c*******m that penalizes the productive to enable the lazy and incompetent, and then calls that justice. Some people are more productive and for that reason, just worth more than others. And white privilege, to wh**ever extent it exists, has been damn well earned. Where would the rest of the world be without Whitey? Living in huts made out of mud and foliage with no electricity, efficient heating and cooling, no indoor plumbing and walking or riding horses to get around, at best, that's where.

Everywhere the left looks they see oppression. They have turned our noble history into a story of oppression, victimization and unfairness. Not many people wanting to leave this country. But most of the world wants to get into it. To accept the Democratic Party's view, it must be that so many of the world's people must want to come here to be oppressed.

Trump introduces idea of 'Space Force' Trump introduces idea of 'Space Force'
6:33 PM ET Tue, 13 March 2018 | 01:44
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said his new national security strategy recognizes that space is a theater of war, and he floated the idea of creating a Space Force, a branch of the military that would operate outside of earth's atmosphere.

"Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea," Trump told a an audience of service members at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. "We may even have a Space Force, develop another one, Space Force. We have the Air Force, we'll have the Space Force."

The president described how he'd originally coined the term as a joke, while discussing U.S. government spending and private investment in space. "I said, 'maybe we need a new force, we'll call it the Space Force,' and I was not really serious. Then I said, 'what a great idea,' maybe we'll have to do that," Trump told the crowd of Marines.

"So think of that, Space Force," Trump continued, "because we are spending a lot and we have a lot of private money coming in, tremendous. You saw what happened the other day, and tremendous success. From the very beginning, many of our astronauts have been soldiers and air men, coast guard men and marines. And our service members will be vital to ensuring America continues to lead the way into the stars."

It was unclear whether the president was still joking by the time he finished his off script remarks about a Space Force. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

But Trump is not the only political leader in Washington who is mulling the idea of a Space Force. In June of 2017, a contingent of House lawmakers proposed dividing the Air Force into two separate branches, one dedicated to aviation and a second, new branch dedicated to space ventures.

Language to create a new military branch called the Space Corps did not make it into the final national defense authorization bill in November, but there were several new directives included in the legislation that could facilitate the Space Corps plan in the future.

Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., the biggest backer in Congress of a military space branch, said these directives represent progress. "This is just the first step," he said in a statement at the time. "We will not allow the United States national security space enterprise to continue to drift toward a space Pearl Harbor."

Chop off head of infants and adults, burn them alive in an oven, bury them alive, rape children and women before k**led. Those your 1st Amendment Rights? You must be a lunatic Muslim chopper.
