Well knock me down with a feather! Who could've seen this coming?
Barack Obama continues to show his rear end to the United States, and on Friday at a White House Islamic celebration dinner in front of a group of Muslims, he gave his strong support for the construction of a monster mosque next to Ground Zero in New York.
During his remarks, Obama employed the classic Islamic tactic of taqiyya, or religious deception, in the false statements he made. Of course, it could easily be argued that when Obama lies, he's speaking his native language.
He brought up the proposed Ground Zero mosque and said,
"But let me be clear. As a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country. And that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America. And our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country and that they will not be treated differently by their government is essential to who we are. The writ of the Founders must endure."
So, Obama suddenly cares about the laws of the Founders? Yeah, right. This is not a freedom of religion issue. The construction of buildings has nothing to do with the First Amendment to the Constitution. Islamists are free to practice their detestable "religion" here in America, but no one is free to construct a building any darned where they please! And there are plenty of questions surrounding the process of approval for the mosque by the city of New York, and there will be legal challenges to it.
Obama also stated,
"And let us also remember who we’re fighting against, and what we’re fighting for. Our enemies respect no religious freedom. Al Qaeda’s cause is not Islam -– it’s a gross distortion of Islam. These are not religious leaders -– they’re terrorists who murder innocent men and women and children."
I'm wondering who he means by "our enemies." Islamists do not respect freedom of religion--not at all. And Al Qaeda is Islam. They are not distorting it! That's taqiyya 101--the claim that terrorists have hijacked Islam, and that Islam is a religion of peace; those are lies from the pit of hell.
Obama's whoppers continued,
"And tonight, we are reminded that Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity. And Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been a part of America."
What is he talking about? Diversity? Is he kidding? Where is the "diversity" in Islam, with its hellish, murderous hatred for Jewish people and Christians? And how does he figure that Islam has "always been a part of America?" Maybe he means the Muslim Barbary pirates who, in the 18th and early 19th centuries, attacked our merchant ships and killed and enslaved the men on board. Even then, those African Muslims were not a part of America; nor were there any Muslim Founding Fathers. He's attempting to rewrite American history to one that simply does not exist.
In reporting on Obama's support of the mosque, Abby Phillip, writing in the Politico, attempted to say that only conservatives and 9-11 families are opposed to the proposed Ground Zero mosque. She wrote,
"President Barack Obama on Friday endorsed a controversial plan to build a mosque and Islamic center just blocks from Ground Zero in Manhattan, despite the strong objections of conservatives, the ADL and those who lost loved ones in the September 11 attacks. ...As perhaps the White House had anticipated, the reaction from conservatives and at least one 9/11 rescue worker was swift and angry."
Only conservatives are opposed to it? That's a load of bunk. When a poll by the leftist CNN shows 68 percent of respondents in America are against the mosque being built at Ground Zero, you know the actual figure is likely closer to 80 percent, maybe more. In that poll, 54 percent of Democrats also opposed the mosque. I guess the Politico didn't get that memo, even though Ms. Phillip cited the CNN poll in her article.
Strangely, Ms. Phillip's article downplayed the number of deaths at Ground Zero, claiming that "more than 2000" people were killed. While that statement is technically true, it was just under 3000 people who were killed at Ground Zero, and some sources put the number of dead over 3000. Let's not forget the 225 people killed at the Pentagon and in the Pennsylvania field. Why would Ms. Phillip try to diminish the image of the number of people murdered on 9-11? Does she somehow imagine that will make the Ground Zero mosque more palatable?
On Wednesday, Obama sent out merry Ramadan wishes to the Muslim world. He claimed that Ramadan,
"…remind[s] 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."
It is apparent that Barack Obama has no use for the truth. That whole line is nothing but a big, fat lie. When I think of justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings, the very last thing that comes to mind is Islam. In fact, Islam is the antithesis of all those things! Obama must really think we're all a bunch of idiots out here--that if he says it, we'll buy it. Well that ain't happening!
So, it's no surprise at all that Obama backs the proposed Ground Zero mosque. This man is an enemy of our country, and it only stands to reason that he would side with our enemies. This is just one more entry on Obama's resume' of anti-American "leadership."
Any religion that preaches “God Damn America!” is OK in Obama’s book.
He’s not one of us.
expected...
Of course it was expected. Thus the sarcastic title of “Shocker!”
Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult, it is it’s own government, its judicial...is in its sharia, and its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.
This is not just a “religion”, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. It’s rules are to consume whatever government is wherever it goes. To supplant and replace.
The sooner America learns this , the better.
Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils.

Obozo was surrounded by muslims and communists in his youth and adolescence - of course he is sympathetic to both these causes if not an active supporter and practitioner.
