This week, President Obama spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast, where he proceeded to inform an audience of Christians that they ought not judge radical Muslims currently engaged in beheading journalists, defenestrating gays, crucifying children, and engaging in mass rape of women. Why, pray tell, should Christians remain silent? Because, Obama informed them with Ivy League pride, "Unless we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. So it is not unique to one group or one religion."
At some point in our collective history, our ancestors engaged in tribal warfare and cannibalized their fallen enemies. So shut up about the Nazis, you hypocrites.
Forget Obama's historical ignorance, if you can, for just a moment. Forget that the Crusades, for all their brutality and horror, were a response to Islamic aggression; forget that the Inquisition was an attempt to systematize legal punishment for anti-Christian activity rather than leaving it to the heated mob; forget that all abolitionist leaders were devout Christians; forget that hundreds of thousands of Christians marched to their deaths during the Civil War singing the words "as He died to make men holy, so we die to make men free"; forget that the chief leaders of the civil rights movement were Christian leaders like Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
Focus instead on the fact that President Obama felt the necessity to defend radical Islam at all. Why defend radical Islam? What is the point?

Shut up about sexism, because women kill their husbands on occasion.
Shut up about homosexuality, because m,any of the Brownshorts in 1930s Germany were gay.

Then why stop now?
Give em hell!
Annihilate baby.

The West needs Crusaders and has “Flower Children.”
"Jim Crow" - implemented by Democrats.
The Democrat party has been the Party of Slavery ™ since its founding two centuries ago.
I disagree with your terminology. Democrats fought for slavery (against Lincoln and the Republicans).
Democrats then passed Jim Crow, and fought to keep blacks down.
Democrats then got shaken up by the 60s Civil Rights movement. Albert Arnold Gore Sr (D-TN) was the loudest voice of those opposing the 1964 Civil Rights Act... but then they quickly started supporting Affirmative Action and racial preferences in college admissions and a zillion other areas of life.
They aren't the Party of Slavery, they are the Party of Racial Division and Disparity (and dedicated to keeping blacks on their plantations). In all cases, and since their inception, Dems have fought to keep races treated differently, and the GOP simply wants people treated equally, by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. This is the one consistent feature for both parties.
Nope - Party of Slavery.
On the plantations of the antebellum South, they used people of African ancestry to convert cotton seeds into cotton bales for the benefit of the Democrats who controlled local society.
In the modern era, the Democrat descendants of those original Democrats still use people of African ancestry on big-city urban plantations to convert (other people’s) dollars to votes for the benefits of the Democrats who control local (and now national) society.
“Shut up” obama explained.
bkmk
The jihadis have been referencing the Crusades as justification for their current terrorist acts for years now. 0bama is just promoting their propaganda.
Bump for later.
Thanks for posting.
Just read the first few paragraphs.
Awesome.
Why can’t our Republican presidential candidates beat the heck out of Democrats with beautifully constructed arguments like this?
