In his address to the Coast Guard Academy, Obama said the biggest threat to our country is climate change; what does this reveal about his psycho-epistemology?

    He must evade the really significant things going on today since he is loathe to deal with them. So instead, he speaks on climate change to the newly graduated members of the Coast Guard. Among all the other things he can be called, he is also a COWARD.

    Worthless (to me) presumes a zero effect, and I have been tempted to call him and others worthless frequently, but I usually refine my comment. He and other statists and banksters are too harmful to be merely worthless.
    I think it's telling that they keep waging war on people and things, since that shows how anti-productive and destructive they are.

    How about, he's one of them. The goal in the middle east is to destabilized the territories then let them reorganize their own way.

    The goal on ISIS is to let them continue to grow while we go through the motions of upholding the needs of western civilization. In a generation or two Islam will be strong enough and populous enough to take over countries without a shot. Just overwhelm the vote.

    On immigration the goal is to replace, or at least rebalance to groups that make up the population. To usurp individual sovereignty to the point of a "new normal". With that accomplished, what are the chances the population would fight for American Sovereignty? We can now welcome in "One World Order", ...a more sensible way to govern.

    If you meant to fundamentally change America, if you were always ashamed of America as a democratic republic, I'd say the goals are nearly complete.

    The populace could turn things if they learned enough and became active. The big but is if we procrastinate the shear numbers of immigration and Islamic population growth begin to overtake any correction we might contemplate.

    The idea of wealth redistribution is repugnant to me. I would prefer to distribute opportunity and specialized knowledge to the population that needs "help". Give them to tools to affect their own solutions instead leveling the playing field with free groceries and spending money. Having said that, I already know I am considered a knuckle dragging Neanderthal for not caring for the poor. That's OK. I have been poor and I know the solution is a hand up rather than a hand out.

    Can you imagine being the head of any country in the world watching the United States for the past 6 1/2 years? You would be scratching your head and laughing your butt off at the same time. You would wonder why the US had decided to make a 180 degree turn and relinquish its position as the supporter of freedom and liberty wherever it may flourish. You might relish the fact that the US is on target to reduce its military capacity by reductions in funding and demeaning our troops, while increasing an internal armed force (Homeland security and TSA). You might find it laughable when our administration befriends a country with open arms that openly hates us with a fervent passion and has sworn to wipe one of our allies off the map, while ignoring the cries for help from our other allies. All of this should be carefully documented and used in a future class on political insanity if we are still around to hold classes.

    I'll bet some of the graduates who had to sit through that were thinking the same thing.
    What really scares me is the thought--how many?

    Hit the decks a-running boys and spin those guns around!
    Sight in on those nasty global climate doubter causers--
    --and shoot the buggers down!
    (My apologies to Johnny Horton whose "Sink The Bismark) song sparked the above sarcastic outburst).

    The only good thing about this is the slight likelihood that the Coast Guard cadets will be swayed by such discussion when they are called to use a spatula to get Greenpeace off an oil rig.

    That he is a self serving, worthless, ego-manical, political hack who is capable of saying anything for his long term plan of disassembling the USA as we knew it. I wish he were just an idiot... but he is much more destructive... and learned well from Rube Goldberg.

    The stupidity of the content aside, for the Commander-In-Chief to make a statement like that to a newly minted group of officers is irresponsible to point of criminally reckless. Ascribe whatever motives you like, and you'll probably be right, but at the end of the day Mr Obama is nothing but a fool.

    Mama.....apology unnecessary. When I connected the answer, it took three hours before I was calm enough to make the post. At the prime philosophical level, man has only two choices; his statement reveals which of he two he has made..............way, way back in his life.
