"Is the subject matter embarassing to folks around here?" No, it is because the president's blindness, either willful or naive, to the dual threats of Islam and illegals, is his Achilles heel, and there are some on this forum that will stand for no criticism of Bush, however wrong some of his policies may be.
It's not that I won't stand for criticism of President Bush. It's just that some people put their criticism in such an ignorant non constructive manner that it does noting to further the debate. But instead only serves to beat the war drums for frothy single issue die hards.
