OK, as long as Muslims get out of non-Muslim lands too.

When we invade, we at least try to help muslims and we don't attempt to forcibly assimilate them or demographically swamp them as well as allow them a huge amount of freedom. When they invade places( assyria, yazidi kurdistan, deir ez zor in syria, south nigeria, kashmir, hindu parts of java, and many cities in europe), they attempt to outbreed, convert, and impose their norms on the populace, as well as violently attacking them with force and sexual conquest. Who's more morally reprehesible?

To be fair, trying to help them using nothing but JDAM munitions isn't exactly effective.
We need to stay the fuck out of their countries, which will stop the excuse for these migrations. Then we can deal with the problems that remain. Just saying we had good intentions going into something like Iraq is not enough, our results matter... and they sucked.

I fucking hate Bill Maher, even though he used to appeal to me, greatly. It's weird. Not sure if he's become more of a whining, head-in-the-sand pussy, in recent years. Or if as I age, my sensibilities and critical-thinking skills have improved, while his opinions have remained unchanged. Decided to try watching his show again, recently, as he came up in a post here and I thought, "Oh, yeah! Bill! Wonder what he's been up to."
It was disastrous. He's pandering so hard, to his uber-left-leaning viewership, that it looks like he might have twisted himself in to an example of a mobius strip created by infinitely sticking his head up his ass. At some point he told someone on his panel, who brought up the Hillary E-Mail Scandalâ„¢, to shut up, "we're all tired of hearing about it", and "who cares?". He literally, literally, said (word for word): "I'd rather have a politician that's conniving and sneaky to be in office, than someone who's stupid, because at least they'd be competent".
Fucking idiot. He's the Rush Limbaugh of the left.
If his opinions are held, not because of monetary influence but because of his own reasoning, then goddamn is he no worse than "the republicans" he's always going on about. For a guy who used to host a TV show called "Politically Incorrect", he certainly likes to, in his own words, "tote the party line".

I watch him sometimes just to learn all of the new edgy liberal talking points. He went on a rant about how much he hates white people for nearly 5 minutes straight this weekend.
How any white people can legitimately still enjoy his show is a mystery to me.

Dude, I'm brown and still think he's retarded.
It takes a speshul kind of apologist to think he actually matters.

I agree and Muslims should get out of non-Muslim lands completely.

Are we occupying any Middle East countries?
[–] RedditDead2005-2015 1 point 0 points 1 point (+1|-1) ago
Does that include Israel getting the fuck out of the West Bank and Gaza as well as the Golan Heights? Back to the 1947 borders? Zionist Maher needs to shut up his Jew piehole.

Maher: Isolationist cuck.

Is he still talking about the hero's that attacked the World Trade Centers? That cost this asshole his job.
