FANTASTIC! May I use your list of quotes elsewhere?? EVERYONE should read all those quotes in a bundle!

[Bhoy]

“57 States should have been a clue.”

Yup.

“The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organization with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It groups 57 nations, most of which are Islamic, from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkan, Southeast Asia, South Asia and South America.”

Freudian slip?

FUBO!

November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress resolved:

“That two battalions of Marines be raised consisting of one Colonel, two Lieutenant-Colonels, two Majors, and other officers, as usual in other regiments; that they consist of an equal number of Privates with other battalions; that particular care be taken that no persons be appointed to offices, or enlisted into said battalions, but such as are good seamen, or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve by sea when required; that they be enlisted and commissioned to serve for and during the present war with Great Britain and the Colonies, unless dismissed by order of Congress; that they be distinguished by the names of the First and Second Battalion of Marines.”

Ooh-rah

Now, that 57 states line makes sense.

Obastard was talking to the Muslims, not the Americans.

If you want to experience an alternate reality, go to muslimsinamerica.org. It is one of the most bizarre treatments of history I’ve seen. I understand the rants of Calypso Louie better now.

[Art.] Mr. Obama said the rituals of Ramadan 'remind us of the principles that we hold in common and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.

Yeah, Magic ..... I think of that all the time, every time one of your co-religionists bags up and stones or shoots another woman, or rapes a Frenchwoman in Marseilles, or rolls grenades down the aisles of another Pakistani Christian church.

Thanks for the timely reminder, turncoat.

Ooh-rah

Curing piracy and terrorism, one Musselman at a time, since 1775 --- cheers from an old squid.

Oorah!!

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release August 11, 2010
Statement by the President on the Occasion of Ramadan

On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I want to extend our best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world. Ramadan Kareem.

Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God. This is a time when families gather, friends host iftars, and meals are shared. But Ramadan is also a time of intense devotion and reflection – a time when Muslims fast during the day and pray during the night; when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere. For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities.

These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.

And today, I want to extend my best wishes to the 1.5 billion Muslims around the world – and your families and friends – as you welcome the beginning of Ramadan.

I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.

May God’s peace be upon you.

Thank you ... When I put 8.10 ... that means “August, 2010”. I changed the 10 to 2010 on the posts to avoid confusion. Thank you for pointing it out.
