Apology Tour 2: Electric Boogaloo
I started to write a blog post earlier about Obama's claim that we are the "largest Muslim nation", and it got long-winded. Then I heard more and more of Obama's speech in Cairo, and since then have been vacillating between outrage and wanting to go hide under a rock in the fetal position and suck my thumb till it all blows over.
I'm . . . I'm . . . incensed. Insulted. Angry. Speechless. And ready to vote SO HARD for a conservative, my eyes are crossing.
A few points of interest:
1) America is the "largest Muslim nation": No, sorryYour Majesty Mr. President – this is a very large nation, yes, and there are probably plenty of Muslims here. But just because we have Muslims does NOT – by any stretch of the imagination – make us a "Muslim nation". "Muslim nations" have women walking around covered from head to toe, only to be looked upon by pain of death. "Muslim nations" call for the abolishment of everything we in America hold dear. "Muslim nations" do not tolerate other forms of religion in their borders. The term "Muslim nation" implies a lack of separation of church and state, which is a favorite argument of the left, in case you haven't noticed. But I guess that only applies to Christianity.
No, Mr. President, you do us a disservice. The United States of America is NOT a Muslim nation. Not yet. I hope to God that we have a day of reckoning before the idea that we might actually become a Muslim nation comes to fruition. God save us all.
2) Read a freaking history book. No, not one written by the ACLU or some guy named Muhommed (I don't really care if that's misspelled). Algebra = Ancient Greece; printing = Gutenberg; magnetic compass = China and possibly even Ancient Central or South America; spires and arches (for goodness sake) = Rome; music (especially that of instruments) = anybody but the Muslim nations. In fact, my husband reminded me that the Renaissance was brought about in Rome and the Western world by people who fled when the Muslims sacked Constantinople. Oh, and by the way, who do you think caused the Crusades? Piracy on the Barbary Coast? All the terrorist activity in recent history? Oh, yeah, that was probably the Christians. They're so violent, dontcha know.
3) Last I checked, many of the freedoms I enjoy (as a Christian woman) ARE NOT and CANNOT be attributed to Muslims, and are pretty much 100% attributable to THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, which got the shaft in Obama's speech. Oh, well, he did say that educating women is a good idea, but we won't tell you how to dress 'em!
4) "Holy Koran [book of Islam] . . . Talmud [Jewish text] . . . Holy Bible [Christian text]": I believe, sincerely, that his choice of wording there was strictly political. No, not the part about the Holy Koran. I believe he only said "Holy Bible" to balance things out. Notice the Jews got shafted – like they did during his whole speech.
5) And, speaking of being shafted, Obama pretty much eluded that our military was responsible for the pain and torture of the Islamic world, especially that of those international terrorists housed at Gitmo. Thanks, man. Thanks for making my husband a demon. And a target.
Flippin. Unbelievable.
6) How come, B. Hussein Obama, it is now okay to mention your middle name? And your Muslim upbringing? Because it's politically expedient? Just like it was politically expedient (until your pastor was revealed to be a raving racist upriser) to call yourself Christian during your campaign? Unlike some people I know, I don't believe Obama is a Muslim. However, I do believe he is a strong sympathizer, which will prove to be just as dangerous – because he is shaking hands with the devil. With a religion of destruction and intolerance. With people who would love to see us dead. And he's making US out to be the aggressors!
My conclusion is that we have a celebrity pretty boy for a president. He believes himself to be a Great Uniter – everyone shall fall into line under his words of grace and diplomacy (as long as the teleprompter is working). And why not? He is lauded and praised wherever he goes. People scream and cheer as if they were at a rock concert. He is everything to everyone, even when it's contradictory. He is Christian to Christians, Muslim to Muslims, black to blacks, white to whites, poor to poor people, and rich to rich people. He likes basketball and hamburgers; he has a puppy; he has two kids and a wife who pals around with Oprah. Jesus was never this godlike, and God was never this humane.
And even Jimmy Carter – probably the worst president ever, until now – didn't screw up this badly in the first six months.
There is just so much he is doing wrong right now, I could spend days – weeks – writing about it. Pundits have been sputtering, and are beginning to sit back and rub their heads in wonder at the enormity of our situation. Those of us who are not blinded by the Naked Emperor's new wardrobe have seen this all coming months ago – and we still can't make people open their eyes to see where this country is going.
Four more years of this. Four more years.
That is, if China doesn't take over in the meantime . . .
