Will Obama Stand Up for U.S. and Our Allies?

We are at war with radical Islam, and that war will go on for many years.

For me, the question is this: will the secular Western civilization shared by America and Europe, which allows us to enjoy life and its creature comforts, still be standing at the end of that war? Or will radical Islam, with an aggressive culture that treasures martyrdom and death over life, prevail?

The vast majority of Muslims, of course, are peace-loving. The fanaticism found among the Wahhabists of Saudi Arabia is not found in many of the countries where a billion, 400 million Muslims live. Nevertheless, we know that radical Islamists want to convert us to their faith, either voluntarily or, if necessary, by force.

Speak softly and carry a big stick, Teddy Roosevelt said. President Obama speaks apologetically and carries no stick at all. No wonder North Korea torpedoed that South Korean warship, something they would not have done in all probability if China had not quietly approved. No wonder Brazil and Turkey thumb their noses at us. We have become a laughingstock.

I disagree with him about the NYC mosque, but Koch really slams Obama at the end.

[ncfool]

Obummer will only stand with Islam and the House of Saud.

[Man50D]

No. Next question.

[rockabyebaby]

Bwahahahahahaha, obama stand up for the US? Hahahahahaha, seriously?? In a word >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NO!

[G Larry]

Obama will stand AGAINST America at EVERY opportunity!

[RedCell]

Why, in the name of Allah, would he start now?

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Liberals and muslims have many things they agree on and, at last, they have a single leader who represents them BOTH!

Obama!!!

[Doogle]

...the Muslim in your face America attitude is just what Odumbo wants.....SO he could appease even more and stand up for diversity and understanding..*cough cough*...
The useless POS.

[freekitty]

Is this a joke?

[The Sons of Liberty]

Obama will stand AGAINST America at EVERY opportunity!

Agree. The question is "How long will America put up with it?"

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Understandably, but nevertheless wrong, there are those who object to the construction of this mosque, believing its presence would insult the memory of the victims of the terror. In my opinion, and I believe the opinion of many others, including the local community planning board and the local elected political leaders, it would sully the good name of the United States and New York City were the members of the mosque which is permissible under existing zoning laws, prohibited from constructing it. While no one can be sure what activities will take place there, that is true of any religious institution. It also follows that none may violate the law with impunity. “

Anyone who likes or respects this Obama-voting MALLOT-HEADED MORON ought to be horsewhipped!!!!

[jazminerose]

Silly question. Why would he start now?

[Hardraade]

The vast majority of Muslims, of course, are peace-loving.

Even now, he hasn't learned a thing. Braindead. The jihadis will have these useless creatures.

[Yosemitest]

I agree. The INFERIOR Obama will NEVER stand FOR the United States.

Didn't our Heavenly Father, through our Savior tell us...

" thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother."

How well we deserve this curse (~so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things~) God has given us,
through the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF, the FASCIST Obama.

Someone once ask, "When is violence for political purposes justified?"...

Thomas Jefferson once said that,
"When the government fears the people, there is liberty.
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
So, in light of the minor outbreaks of violence we've been seeing lately, I ask
when is it justified?
We have a second amendment to help protect us from the government,
when is it acceptable to take up arms?
At what point does violence become the correct response?

I recommend the following for your valuable time, to ponder... (all 37 pages)

Violence, Nonviolence, and the American Revolution

All things written in the Bible must come to pass,
and we WILL get to the day worse than has ever been.

And this too shall pass...

They hate him that rebuketh in the gate,
and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor,
and ye take from him burdens of wheat:
ye have built houses of hewn stone,
but ye shall not dwell in them;
ye have planted pleasant vineyards,
but ye shall not drink wine of them.
For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins:
they afflict the just,
they take a bribe,
and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

Can you remember reading about "a thorn in their side"?

"But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you;
then it shall come to pass,
that those which ye let remain of them
shall be pricks in your eyes,
and thorns in your sides,
and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
Moreover
it shall come to pass,
that I shall do unto you,
as I thought to do unto them."

The command I await is...

"Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them".

Obama, and his Marxist minions, SHALL be gathered and bound.

What a dunce. Its like letting a group of pedophiles into a neighborhood of young boys and ASSUMING that we won’t know what happens.

How very LIBERAL of you.

OR stupid.

Will Obama Stand Up for U.S. and Our Allies?

Based on his actions over the last 16 months, I think the answer is, and will continue to be: No, he will not.

Most of the people in his administration, including Obama himself, won't even say the words "radical" and "islam" together in the same sentence.

Since he is unwilling to recognize the problem, he is unlikely to stand up and propose and/or execute any solutions.

Speak softly and carry a big stick, Teddy Roosevelt said. President Obama speaks apologetically and carries no stick at all.

That just about sums it up, right there. Thank you mayor Koch.

[Frenchtown Dan]

He bows to our enemies. He is our enemy.

[gdzla]

The real question is will the U.S. and it’s allies stand up for 0bama.

[RC2]

“The vast majority of Muslims, of course, are peace-loving.” Only if they have things their way. If they follow their religion the way it is demanded, they will try and control the world. No matter what we think.
