Obama: America Should ‘Never Apologize’ By Fred Lucas July 24, 2012 Subscribe to Fred Lucas's posts

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama, long criticized for what opponents consider apologies for the United States to other countries, asserted to a gathering of veterans Monday that “we will never apologize.”

“Just as you protected America, we’re going to pass our country to the next generation, stronger and safer and more respected in the world,” Obama said at the 113th annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Reno, Nevada

“So if anyone tries to tell you that our greatness has passed, that America is in decline, you tell them this: Just like the 20th century, the 21st is going to be another great American Century,” Obama said. “For we are Americans, blessed with the greatest form of government ever devised by man, a democracy dedicated to freedom and committed to the ideals that still light the world. We will never apologize for our way of life; we will never waver in its defense.”

The president continued, “We are a nation that freed millions and turned adversaries into allies. We are the Americans who defended the peace and turned back aggression. We are Americans who welcome our global responsibilities and our global leadership. The United States has been, and will remain, the one indispensable nation in world affairs.”

Obama said earlier in the VFW speech that America is more respected now than before.

“Thanks to the extraordinary service of our men and women in uniform, we’re winding down a decade of war; we’re destroying the terrorist network that attacked us; we’re strengthening the alliances that extend our values,” Obama said. “And today, every American can be proud that the United States is safer and stronger and more respected in the world.”

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic and insulting. It is pathetic to see someone so desperate to stay in power that he will do or say anything. This actually makes him dangerous. What kind of deals/plans do you think he is willing to make? Given that he'll stand up in front of America and lie like this, that is the mark of a desperate -- as in panicking, grasping at straws desperate -- man.

It is insulting that he thinks we won't see right through such obvious lies. He obviously has nothing but contempt and anger towards America and the American people.

I thought we were a Republic. Wouldn’t a Constitutional Law Professor, license suspended, know that? He should have apologized to the VFW for the Work Place violence at Ft. Hood.

He does need to apologize to America for Janet Napolitano as DHS Sec. and her telling Border Agents to run and hide if shot at.

Should have thought of that 4 years ago when he apologized for America while on foreign soil.

“I can’t understand why the folks at VFW convention even bothered to waste their time to see this carnival barker.”

I think some VFW convention halls can be RENTED OUT, so how sure are we of even the PREMISE of this campaign stop?

Oops, I see it was an actual convention.

VFW planners probably thought they’d draw more attendees/cash with the Fraud headlining it.

Remember how American jews hate Israel and anything is possible these days.

Algore the man pig: “what is up should be down and what is down should be up”. Of course in demspeak this was the 2000 version of “fundamentally change the country”!

You people are all so mean to Obama!

He’s trying his best to create the illusion that polls tell him the people want - isn’t that enough?

Let’s face it - he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer - it’s unfair to expect both intelligence and honesty from one politician.

Okay, so he’s a total loser - whaddya gonna do?

Buy the poor dumbf*** a beer, fer crissakes - don’t be hatin’ on him!

Question:

Are Muslims permitted to lie?

Summary Answer:

Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences."

There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman.

These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.

The Qur'an:

Qur'an (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.

Qur'an (3:28) - This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to "guard themselves."

Qur'an (9:3) - "...Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters..."

. B. Hussein Obama in Cairo June 4, 2009:

Obama told his "audience" that tension "has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations."

(NO "APOLOGY THERE, RIGHT?)

Continuing: "And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear,"

(NO APOLOGY THERE RIGHT?)

2. Apology to the Muslim World ("We Have Not Been Perfect")

3. Apology to the Summit of the Americas ("At Times We Sought to Dictate Our Terms")

4. Apology at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders ("Some Restoration of America's Standing in the World")

5. Apology for the War on Terror ("We Went off Course")

6. Apology for Guantanamo in France ("Sacrificing Your Values")

7. Apology before the Turkish Parliament ("Our Own Darker Periods in Our History")

8. Apology for U.S. Policy toward the Americas ("The United States Has Not Pursued and Sustained Engagement with Our Neighbors")

9. Apology for the Mistakes of the CIA ("Potentially We've Made Some Mistakes")

10. Apology for Guantanamo in Washington ("A Rallying Cry for Our Enemies")

NOTHING SPECIAL TO SEE HERE - MOVE ALONG

Barack Obama Quote:

“I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.”

It’s unfair to expect either intelligence or honesty from any politician.
