>>>I know plenty of nice guys who are also Moslems. Obama seems to know only nasty guys.

How is this possible?>>>

There were plenty of nice Germans in 1936, too. There were many nice Russians during the Stalin purges. There were many nice Chinese during the bloody reign of Mao Zedong. There were nice Japanese during the Rape of Nanking. There were nice Spaniards during the Inquistion. There were nice Romans as the bodies of Christians piled up in the Coliseum.

You’re confusing culture with individuals. There are nice people everywhere, just as there are evil people. There are cultures and beliefs that have spread brotherhood and joy in this world, and there are cultures and beliefs whose histories are one long expression of bloodshed.

The personalities of the individuals in those cultures and beliefs that cause pain and suffering on this Earth aren’t important. What’s important is what that culture and belief brings to humanity.

Darned, you missed my point. If Obama only knows nasty ones, as evidenced by his appointment of counselors, etc., and I only know good guys, then what does that say about Obama?

Doesn't it logically follow that he runs with criminals and terrorists?
