...and it's offensive. Maybe not to those in Cairo and the Muslim universe, maybe not to anti-Americans overseas, maybe not to half the country who thinks like President Barack HUSSEIN (his decision- it's cool and hip to include, now) Obama, but offensive to myself and fellow conservatives who see danger in a president who doesn't defend America, but castrates it before the world.
Transcript of the "New Beginning" speech here, speaking at the Grand Hall of Cairo University.
I don't have time to fisk the entire speech (I'll leave it to readers to dissect the parts they want to take issue with- or parts they may praise!).
But before I go off to work....
As a student of history,
~~~ I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President John Adams wrote, "The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims." And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States. They have fought in our wars, served in government, stood for civil rights, started businesses, taught at our Universities, excelled in our sports arenas, won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building, and lit the Olympic Torch. And when the first Muslim-American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the same Holy Koran that one of our Founding Fathers — Thomas Jefferson — kept in his personal library.
I guess President Barack HUSSEIN Obama didn't study the rest of the story. Since bringing this up in itself would have been undiplomatic; and since it would have provided another opportune fodder to apologize to Muslims for our long history of oppression and tyranny against them.....I have to chalk this one up to historical ignorance.

“OUR” tallest building was DESTROYED by Muslims!
The Usurper is bowing and scraping before Islam.
Didn’t they call us crazy for saying that the Muslim congressmen took the oath using a Koran?
We play nice with a-holes because we have to at times IMO.
This President is a dummy on an apology tour though. I have no respect for this man, he's a racist, socialist pompous ass IMO.
Wish him good health and all, but I don't have to post nice things about him since I don't like what he does.
I believe Jefferson had a copy in his desk because he was studying the enemy! The pirates (terrorists) that were causing havoc in the Tripoli area.
“Mohamed you beautiful bastard. I read your book!”
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Islam, the great enemy of the West, finds itself with a useful idiot right at the top.
I dunno why, but I read “...His Snake Charm Offensive...” in the title.
Obamasaiah’s State of the Ummah Address.
I’ve a news flash for our little Marxist Hitler. The only equality that means anything or has any standing in reality is equal justice under the law. People aren’t equal. It wasn’t God’s plan. Cultures aren’t equal. Islam is not in the same league as the Christian culture that brought us Western Civilization, never has been, and never can be. Islam will always tend towards inequality, brutality, destruction and ignorance. It matters little how much fools compliment and appease Islam. Islam is here to destroy.
