It’s time for an “American jihad”

RobYourBuilder · 31-10-2014 2:54pm #1

"The Constitution, along with the miracle of our nation's founding and the providential history of America fighting and winning war after war against oppressive regimes, proves our manifest destiny not only to preserve our borders and safety and national character at home, but to spread around the world our love of individual freedom and insist on its reflection in every government."

Nearly 200 years later and they're still pushing the "manifest destiny" crap.

We would urge our leaders, after their service in the U.S. Senate and Congress, to seek dual citizenship in other nations, like France and Italy and Sweden and Argentina and Brazil and Germany, and work to influence those nations to adopt laws very much like our own. We might even fund our leaders' campaigns for office in these other nations."

Yes, these countries definitely need to aim to be more like America. Especially Germany, France and Sweden.

An American jihad would embrace the correct belief that if every nation on earth were governed by freely elected leaders and by our Constitution, the world would be a far better place. And an American jihad would not only hope for this outcome, but work toward it."

An 'American Jihad' actually happened in numerous South American states. The resultant puppet states weren't very free.

Yes, it's Fox. But more on the author, Dr Keith Ablow:

He graduated from Brown University in 1983, magna cum laude, with a Bachelor of Science degree in neurosciences. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1987, and completed his psychiatry residency at the Tufts-New England Medical Center. He was Board Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology in psychiatry in 1993 and forensic psychiatry in 1999.[4]

The good doctors credentials imply that he is at least somewhat intelligent. Yet this is what he believes. 'Murica.

Didn't we have our own jihad a few years ago with that Riverdance thing.

Nearly took over the world too.

No thanks.

The One Doctor · 31-10-2014 3:03pm

The US used to rule the world and is now freaking out that they're losing everything. Big deal. Let 'em burn, no great loss.

super_furry · 31-10-2014 3:05pm

Hasn't America been pretty much doing what he's asking for, for the best part of a century? It's part of the reason that so many people want to blow them up.

BoJack Horseman · 31-10-2014 3:06pm

In before "Murica"

Freedom??? It's practically a police state

Thought this was a Team America 2 announcement page, AMERICA **** YEAH!!!

AllGunsBlazing · 31-10-2014 3:16pm

Coca cola, Disney, and McDonald's all americanised the world a very long time ago. The likes of MTV then finished the job.

Being intelligent and bat-shit crazy aren't mutually exclusive

What the **** does he think america has been doing pretty much since it was founded? Has to be a troll, or an escaped mental patient assuming the identity of one of his former psychiatric doctors

And here was me thinking they've been waging a 'freedom' jihad for quite a few decades.

...seek to fund an international mercenary force for good and provide our veterans unparalleled health care.

Why not give it to all your citizens...?

You should probably head outside for a walk or something. Take a break from being an online social justice warrior.

If you watch The Daily Show or Colbert Report you'll see this guy Ablow featured almost weekly for the comedy gold he comes out with-this article is quite a mild demonstration of his stupidity. My guess is that he cheated in his exams or got some kind of brain injury after graduating.

A lot of people who have experienced "American Jihad" would love to do the same.

Fox News is the most popular cable news channel in America. When they stop spouting insane bollix such as this;

We would urge our leaders, after their service in the U.S. Senate and Congress, to seek dual citizenship in other nations, like France and Italy and Sweden and Argentina and Brazil and Germany, and work to influence those nations to adopt laws very much like our own

Then people will stop bashing them and Americans who share similar viewpoints.

How many people watch Fox News? Out of over 300 million people, how many people are actually watching it?

Fox News is popular because it's an entertainment network. Not for it's news content. Have you watched CNN and CNBC in the states lately? They are the exact same as Fox, only with a left stance. All of it is crap. Television News, Radio News and Print Media are dying here.

Out of 300 million people, Fox probably gets less than an average of 2 million viewers and that's a guess because the Nielsen ratings system that's used is complete and utter ****e...Jon Stewart gets about 2.5 million viewers. John Olivers new show which to me, is probably the closest thing to an actual news program on the air...and it's a comedy show is getting over 4 million views.

So, go ahead and write off everyone in America because a tiny percentage watch Fox News.

The Diabolical Monocle · 31-10-2014 5:43pm

The ass-hattery of the US and Russia's foreign strategic one-upmanship is what has much of the world in the shytter today.

Financing dictators and fuelling rebellions so they could have a port here or a border there.

Didn't matter who their ally was, dictator, lunatic, war-criminal. Long as one part of the board didn't get too red or blue.

I wasn't aware that I did. Just the good doc and those that share his views.

I'm kinda disappointed in this thread, I was expecting something about some batshit crazy Christian fundamentalists.

Yeah, this is the guy who claims Gangnam Style is a drug...

He comes out with some of the whackiest, most ridiculous, off the wall bull**** you could imagine. However I don't think he's stupid, far from it in fact, he's just tapped into something that's payed off for him. He's been around for a good while, had his own Rikki Lake style chat show didn't have much of an audience, but he didn't say the same outragous nonsense that he does now, in fact he's completedly flipped on some issues. With Fox News came the ridiculous crap he's now known for, and you can see now that he's just finally found an audience so he plays up to that.

I don't think he believes any of the **** he says, he's just selling hysteria and nonsense to Fox News viewers.

Fox...worst than Hitler Ted.

It’s time for an “American jihad”
