How Do Us Sikhs Feel About Republicans?

[dalsingh101]

You guys aren't looking at the big picture, they're all politicians and scum.

I used to like Obama as well, but he isn't changing anything. Here's a perfect example:

I don't think anyone can blame Obama for that, he voted against the Iraq war. He has winded down the Iraq war, and has his hands tied with Afghanistan.

Plus, he has definitely cooled things down. I mean, Bush and his English lapdog Blair seriously heated things up.

I think Republicans (and/or their supporters) have a lot of investments in military hardware companies, so they make a fortune with wars in that way, on top of whatever they can grab as well (i.e. oil).

Definitely agree with you on this.

Only disappointment in Obama (or the system, can't decide which yet) is that he hasn't really done much to my expectations of actually forming real peace and withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan.

I have a lot of empathy for Obama as every thing he is trying to do gets obstructed by the Replebians. They are craftily manipulating the system to stonewall change and progress.

In the end it just shows you how evil they really are (despite the act of being civilised), and how their hatred for Obama overrides any patriotic notions they pretend to have.

It looks like they are more than prepared to jeopardise the country to get at Obama?

I guess that is true, I agree...

The message in the video is something we all should agree upon.

edit- watch this video, it goes hand in hand with the view that big business republicans are what have made America what it is today. This guy also went to a couple 1984 remembrance events set up by Gurudwaras and rapped about it. He basically said this as well once "props to the shaheeds who took out Indira Gandhi"

I never realized how simple politics could be.

Republicans are all stupid idiots. Democrats are trying to do what is right. Obama is a saint who is always being obstructed.

Its very dangerous to take complicated matters and make them simple. It can give you a warm feeling and make you feel very self righteous, quite a shame it is simply not true. The fact that so many Americans (and evidently Brits) on both sides think that way (about the other side) just hows how remarkably efficient the political media machine has become.

Very true. But what Fox type Republicans seem to frequently do is make the simple unnecessarily complex. I mean, look at healthcare, even Britain for all its flaws has free healthcare for everyone. Most of developed Europe does - but publicans fight the notion keeping the states like a third world nation.

Plus it isn't hard to see many Republican, neocons are frequently racist types with extremely uncompassionate attitudes towards those less well off than themselves. We know this mentality well because it stemmed from this island and was the driving force during the colonial period. Now it lives on in the people who left here and migrated to America it seems?

Obama isn't a saint but he certainly isn't anything like the demonised fellow as represented by relentlessly dishonest and totally unbalanced Republican aligned media outlets like Fox. How can people who have no problem playing such foul games be trusted by anyone other than idiots or bigots who support their agenda?

There is a saying in English that you should apply here:

"Many a true word is said in jest."

That Immortal Technique clip was cool. The guy is very good at articulating his point. Heard some of his tunes last night, they were what hip hop used to be like. Very conscious.

[Wales85]

Guys like you on the dem side say the exact same thing about repubs... "liberal media" "socialist agenda"

The answers are not so black and white.... I suggest discussing issues not parties. Discussing parties means you say alot, but you say nothing at all.

That's a cop out. The party I'm talking about harbours right wing, barely concealed racist agendas, whatever they may have been like in the past. Your country and this one have already been dragged into an unnecessary war by these morons. Those people being the preferred political choice of the banking sector, whose greed led to the current global recession, says a lot in itself.

Fact is that they are the party for the privilege for affluent whites. That is where their interests lie and be damned with the rest of us. They also harbour very self-centred evil men who feel no compunction to profit from war and death. Exactly like colonial Brits did not long ago. Pretending anything else is essentially becoming part of the whole machinery that supports these types of things.

People have to recognise organised sources of negativity that can and do effect our lives. This is clearly one. Those Tea party type people need to reform themselves before they cause more trouble in the world. If the implications of their stupidity was only confined to the US, I wouldn't care two hoots, but seeing as they commonly rope in the Anglocentric leaders of my country into their schemes, I'm forced to pay attention.

Glad you have it all figured out.

I'm glad one of us has.
