Yes, me too, that’s why I blame him. And I do, most sincerely. I’m not saying Bush did a bad job after 9/11, I’m not going to really judge that; but too much of his message was “Islam is a religion of peace, all is well, keep shopping”.
It should have been more along the lines of “there are forces that wish to detroy our way of life, we will not let this happen; Islamism will never triumph”.
Islam was never on my radar, I called it Mohamadism until I saw “Islam” given as a correct answer on Jeopardy when I was quite grown up.
On that dreadful day we had the mom of my very good friend staying with us, since neither daughter could get to her. She was a very, very liberal democrat woman, a proud Adlai Stevenson voter. I will NEVER forget her saying as we watched the TV that night “I was always taught that the point of Islam was to spread Islam at the point of the sword.”
The poor woman was quite old and actually died before the end of that year. I always felt that she didn’t think she could face what was coming.
Islam is NOT a religion of peace, it has large factions that are our sworn enemies, they know this, they proclaim this, I don’t know why we continue to deny it.
And by “we” clearly I don’t mean freepers, I mean some liberals, all leftists, and way too many Jews, RINOs and other “elitists”.
