MLD Woody Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 "... of action" Interesting place to cut out the quote... But that's where the consitution did it in their headline, so I can't expect you to do much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 “We have to put our money where our mouths are. And we can only realize the promise of this institution’s founding to replace the ravages of war with cooperation if powerful nations like my own accept constraints. Sometimes I’m criticized in my own country for professing a belief in international norms and multilateral institutions, but I’m convinced in the long run giving up some freedom of action, not giving up our ability to protect ourselves or pursue our core interests but binding ourselves to international rules, over the long-term, enhances our security.” — President Barack Obama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Yes, I read the full quote too. The Constitution went for the inflammatory headline by leaving it as just "Freedom". You did the same. Because you're their puppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 International law. With the hope of benefiting everyone. Instead of each country doing their own thing with only their best interests in mind. I mean, umm.... "Obamao wants to take our freedoms! That terrorist muslim wants to take my Christianity away! He's not even a real american!" Better, right? I mean, when you cut the quote off to make a more inflammatory headline, that can't be far off.
