Retarded child.I agree with that assessment
The conservative commentator's remark drew immediate protest from both Hollywood and some conservative allies, including Michelle Malkin.
No debate about this: Ann Coulter has gotten herself in hot water yet again.

Although most pundits and the public at large gave the nod to President Obama as the winner of the third debate, held Monday night in Florida, Coulter saw it differently. After live-tweeting the rumble on foreign policy, the conservative author and commentator summed up her thoughts on the evening by writing, "I highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard."
She drew backlash immediately.

It's a shame that some of you feel compelled to denigrate your fellow Americans and even ATS members by resorting to petty name calling and personal attacks. It's amazing that both candidates talk about wanting to unite people and bring about peace and yet their supporters display some of the nastiest qualities imaginable. This is why so many have lost all faith in our ability as a nation to ever achieve any real and lasting peace. We are tearing ourselves apart from within.
All our enemies have to do is to sit back and watch us destroy ourselves.
A few here have attempted to have a civil discussion but far too many are so steeped in party loyalty that they perceive their fellow Americans who support the other side as their enemies.
What a sad state of affairs.

So unbelievably true. Most of the posts in this topic are basically:
*condescending statement coupled with name-calling and possible injection of sarcasm* then emoticon.
I'm tired of all this snide pretentious whiny bull# that is so prevalent in today's culture, especially among the younger crowd.

Are you serious?
You find that interesting?
You honestly think the average child of 4 or 5 even knows who Mitt Romney is? Come on.

No I don't think the average child knows who to support, the point of my post was Obama supporters are like the average child,

I think most of you are missing the point Romney was trying to make. We are no longer capable of fighting 2 major wars.
a) if Romney did try to make THIS point, he failed miserably. IMHO the only point he was trying to make was to present Obama as weak, and to do this he had to resort to that idiocy regarding the number of Navy ships back in 1916, which resulted, pardon the Navy term, in a raking broadside from Obama.
b) I'm not even sure that we aren't capable to fight to major wars. You may count Iraq and Afghanistan as minor, but of course some people may decide that you belittle our military and the sacrifice made.
I frankly won't believe for a second that the nation is seriously engaged in a war when people care about things like iPhone 5 or minute detail of M.Jackson's demise. We haven't even started trying to fight in earnest until what we see on TV is news from the front lines and not Jay-Z.
Sorry I can't just take your argument when I look around.
It is not my argument. I was just pointing out what Romney was claiming. Everyone wants to focus on Obama's witty reply, and it was a good one, but no one, including Obama addressed Romney's point about the ability to fight 2 wars. I do think that Romney brought up an important issue, too bad is wasn't addressed maturely.

Romney never mentioned a thing about two wars. You've invented this argument for your own justification. The U.S. has an overkill of something like 50-100, meaning they have enough military power to wipe out the entire world 100 times over. You're deluded if you think that cuts are going to somehow negatively impact America's national security. The problem isn't not enough Navy ships, the problem is their broke. Military cuts are long, long over due, it's simply unsustainable, the continued spending and ballooning of the National debt is America's number one national security threat, nothing else.
Wake up.edit on 23-10-2012 by macaronicaesar because: (no reason given)
The US Navy has 53 submarines. The Chinese Navy has 63.
The US Navy has 62 destroyers. The Chinese Navy has 25.
The US Navy has 24 frigates. The Chinese Navy has 47.
The US Navy has 13 aircraft carriers. The Chinese Navy has 1.
The US Navy has has a total of 285 active vessels. The Chinese Navy has a total of 515 combat vessels and 138 major combat vessels, though this includes some ships and forces that would be classified as part of the Coast Guard in the US.
And the Chinese Navy is being expanded with all that money that Obama is borrowing to pay off his campaign donors.
Now add to that another 30 Iranian submarines, 2 destroyers and 6 frigates, and the US Navy’s resources becomes strained if it has to deal with two conflicts at the same time, while maintaining anti-piracy operations as well.

I personally believe the war will be a big cyber war. Our enemies will know that by hacking our network they can shut down, or use our drones against us. Plus the countess other things they could do. Everything is controlled by computers.
