You can build your churches and mosques and temples all you want. You can wear your burqas (not in France) or your turbans. The KKK can get a permit to post a sign and clean up trash on the highways. We aren't perfect but we are the most tolerant I believe.
That's why it's important to realize what is going on in the middle east right now. A *serious* foreign policy miscalculation by president Obama has placed the lives of many brave Americans in danger - some are dead. This is *terrorism*, not the muslim faith. Remember this:
President Obama and his administration have removed the word "terror" from their lexicon - intentionally.
President Obama supported the "Arab Spring" with money, words and deeds (troops). He embraced this and talked about the arab protestors and "our shared values" even when acknowledging that the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge.
President Obama invited (twice) the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House. A group that has long been known for it's terrorist activities and violence against peaceable people. Even other muslims.
Obama made a huge miscalculation - he pushed a very very weak message to *terrorists* who only understand one thing - power. Al Qaeda has a great understanding of this president and his lack of experience and weakness.
This Middle East / North Africa debacle is a direct result of Obama's foray into things he knows nothing about. He is a terrible judge of character and inexperienced at developing long term policy. I believe he honestly thinks that his "coolness" and "color" that has kept him afloat in the US somehow translates around the world. He's way out of his league and we are paying the price.
"Al Qaeda has a great understanding of this president and his lack of experience and weakness."
Why hasn't bin Laden spoken up to confirm this foolishness?

Probably because he's kicking back sipping martinis with GW in Paraguay or somewhere.
Speaking of foolishness, CSM....
Why don't we have a body? Hmmm? How convenient. Who knows who they buried at sea. It could have been the gardener. Or the butler....
Whatever, dude.
Rɨck,
Man, why jerk the cougar's tail? I can think of plenty of bad things that could happen. I just don't want to speak it!
BCStoned,

I saw a man, round about 65 years old, at Wally World this evening. He had a Navy Veteran cap on his head, so I asked him what he thought about the attack on the American Embassy in Libya.
He said he hadn't heard anything about it.
Turns out he was an 18 year Navy SEAL.
For what it's worth...

The only thing that can top the current situation , would be if something bad happened to the President .
For one , America would explode with social un-rest , maybe worse then Martin Luther King Jr.
Plus , Joe Binden would have to take over...wow , can you just imagine what kind of cluster **** this could be ?
-- Posted by Rɨck on Fri, Sep 14, 2012, at 5:52 PM
rick, are you saying that you would support your little comment about something happening to the president. Maybe your little statement needs to be emailed on to the attorney general's office. You know they put people away who publicly write about doing something to the president. that was not a smart statement. you know uncle sam could be notified very quickly.
In your other statement, you don't even want to be around if something were to happen to the current president. America would not be a safe place to be in. There are no farms, houses, woods that would not be affected or some could hide.
Civil unrest is not the words to describe what would happen in this country. Even those at the top now know not to let nothing happen to Obama. They ain't stupid......i think.

Yes Joe Biden is worse than Obama. Now that is going some. Wouldn't you be proud to have someone say you would be a worse President than Obama?

Experience in community organizing has merrit.
Organize a large car company into a union run for the union entity. Organize the Arab world into a Muslim Brotherhood with Sharia law for all. Organize the government entitlements into a one fits all federal operation combining welfare, medical insurance, social security, health services, unemployment benefits and whatever else comes to mind.
Organize law enforcement and censorship into a more defined, streamlined authority. And finally organize all private enterprise under the banner of fairness for the people.
Did I miss anything?

From the news today: "JAILED FOR BELIEFS:
Egypt Family Gets 15 Years For Christian Conversion".
Another one of Obama's "great" decisions - supporting the so-called "Arab Spring". His judgement is the worst of any leader I've ever seen. He supports the takeover of a country by radical Islamists bent on destroying women's rights and imprisoning Christians.
Most of what we knew and now know about this radical has come true. He is anti-women, anti-christian and anti-capitalist.

I would like to hear what policy Dug would have preferred with respect to the events of the so-called "Arab Spring."
Let's start with Egypt. Dug, what would you have done differently than President Obama regarding the political revolution in Egypt that began in January, 2011.
