The Washington Times ^ | October 6, 2009 | Editorial

The last time the Dalai Lama visited Washington, President George W. Bush presented the exiled Tibetan leader with the Congressional Gold Medal at a ceremony on Capitol Hill.

"So many reasons why I’m glad I’m not a Christian. That’s a real sense of history, human rights, and tolerance of others beliefs that you’ve got there."

What? Obama didn't deny the Lama the right to believe what he wants or insult him. He just didn't honor the guy by visiting him.

I'm tolerant in that people have the God given right to choose what they want to believe. I'm not tolerant in that I don't accept all religions as being right.

Either Christianity is right and you can't earn your way to Heaven unless you are perfect, and none of us are perfect. Or the rest of the world's religions are right and you can earn your way to heaven. They are not both right.

Zero doesn’t want to offend China but he does start a tradewar with ‘em over tires. I suppose the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing in the White House.

Yep. I suppose he thinks that he will share power with the Chinese. Reminds me of Jews who happily turned in their fellow Jews and then got gassed in their turn.
