"Religion of Peace"
none | 7/17/2015 | Self

Posted on 07/17/2015 1:14:03 PM PDT by zerosix

I wasn't totally on board with George W. Bush in 2001 but voted for him rather than let Gore (whom I knew to be much more destructive to America) become President.

Shortly after his assuming office, 9/11 happened and I thought after listening to Bush, the right man at the right time had been set in place to prevent continued terrorist attacks from happening.

Then, the completely unexpected happened - President Bush came out publicly and declared, "Islam is a religion of peace!"

His administration, while going after the "bad guys" seemed to be doing the right thing but continued claiming after successive "terrorist events" in the U.S. that they weren't necessarily tied to Islamic terrorism!

After a couple or more of such happenings, I and others in my group, wondered just whom we were fighting, specific Muslim leaders or worldwide Islamic radicalism, as we watched various people around the country who pointed to terroristic activity and behavior, be punished for noticing!

It got worse as time went on: the Bush Administration along with the Pentagon began treating the U.S. troops as potential criminals for killing the enemies and worse yet, virtually tied their hands with the so-called, Rules of Engagement.

I and my friends watched the Bush Administration pretend that Saddam Hussein really didn't have WMD after all, when they knew such things were actually moved to Syria, with the help of Russians on the ground and could have easily proved it but let the lie stand that "Bush lied, people died!"

Everyone here on FR knows what has happened in the ensuing years and I'm certain that many feel as I do, even worse for military families who lost loved ones or had them come home to a country that seems to pretend that their sacrifices, while worthy, seem to be against illusory "enemies" whose ideology against us (America and what she stands for) doesn't really exist.

The latest killing of our brave military, who seem to be "cannon fodder" to Obama, and more discussion today on Rush, when discussing Obama's outreach to Muslims as they end their "holy season" raked over open wounds, especially when he repeated Pres. Bush's similar outreach, so soon after 9/11!

Sorry for this rant but I guess I am incensed that this pot hasn't boiled over for those who feel as I do (there must surely be millions by now) in the U.S. after non-Muslim American citizens being treated like enemies, called "racists" (as though Muslims are another race - like Mexicans) for disliking our government's flooding our country with our avowed Islamic enemies whose sole reason for coming here is to exterminate us and when they do so, their excusers stand in front of cameras and "wonder what the killer's motives were!"

When are Americans going to care about bloodthirsty Islamists killing Americans in the name of Allah and put a stop to it?

It’s going to take an event even worse than 9/11. Like a nuke or large dirty bomb going off and killing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

Bush is a good person, but has been led astray down the path of liberalism.

I’ve contended that RECIPROCITY is the answer....They let us be what we are and build churches in their countries, spread ‘THE WORD” there////
Otherwise we tear down all mosques in our country....We start trash canning Korans from any muzzy entering our country etc etc

Maybe arresting a few Saudi Princes visiting Las Vegas would be a good start???

Sadly, I fear you might be right!

Ordinary decent Americans are just too busy seeing how to get their kids the best student loans, whose gonna win the American/National League pennant, where to go to get the best fishing, the best shopping deals, etc. to wake everyone up.

Unfortunately, the "good person" Bush was never against Islam as the cause of terrorism - only some if its adherents.

You can't chose which Muslims are less murderous - they all have the same mindset and Bush refused to recognize that then and even now!

Bush never secured our borders either. That is a true indicator of his seriousness on fighting terrorism. He should have slammed the borders shut ASAP after 9-11 but he did not to keep cheap labor coming in. He also did not “drill here, drill now” to secure energy independence so we don’t depend on ragheads for oil,and fund their terror with dollars.

I was ready to like GW as prez, but he failed.

Oh yea. Sheesh. You’d think after 9-11 he would have shut our borders up tighter than a frog ass. But nooooo!

I think the religion of peace meme is more about Saudi money and getting the coming Muslim invasion to vote for either the GOPe or the democrats

For the two hundred seventeenth time - - -
What Islam or Muslims believe about ‘Islam is the religion of peace,’ is that when the WORLD has been conquered by Islam, then
THERE WILL BE PEACE.
I don’t believe it’s the same thing as ‘Islam is a religion of peace.’

I know what you mean about feeling alone in our grief about our country. I consider the blood of all the slain Marines to be on Obama’s hands.

I’ve been watching NewsMax channel lately, on Dish Net it’s channel 223. They have “The Steve Malzburg Show” (spelling might be wrong on that).

Anyway, last night he started out his show with exactly what I told my husband yesterday,,,that Obamas comments on the slain Marines was so incredibly without any feeling, as if he was talking about the weather.

Steve was disgusted just like I was with Obama’s complete lack of caring about what happened. His muslim was showing again for all to see.

I said Obama only cares if blacks are killed.
Then Steve said the same, adding how Obama treats dead black thugs like saints and sends officials to their funerals, not to mention encouraging their cities to riot.

Yet Kate Steinle gets murdered by an illegal alien, Kathleen Hufford gets her head cut off in Nebraska, and more of our bravest get cut down while unarmed at military facilities, and he has no comment or zero passion.

He is so obviously our biggest problem. I wept 3 days into his election November of 2008. I knew from FR that he was not eligible to run. My husband said why are you crying and I said “he’s going to get us all killed.”

It’s much worse than I imagined back in 2008, so much worse.

I love Donald Trump. He loves America like President Reagan did. NewsMax TV has played a speech of Trump’s from last week. I love to hear him speak the truth and not back down.

We don’t need some wishy washy loser RINO. At this point Ted Cruz and The Donald are my 2 top picks. Walker is my governor, and he is OK but with some poor choices here (left dems on the Gov. Accountability Board just to be nice for example).

Trump lays it on the line. Can’t be bought either. Knows how to win and to restore our country.

We need a big change and he is it.

He loves America like we do and will fight for it.

Yep, Bush leaving the borders open is the main reason he is not a big deal to me. I thought he’d be a great president but he was just like all the others.
