"They Lead No Religion": Obama Defends Islam, Muslim Fanatics At Commencement

So the threat will not go away soon, but let’s be clear: al Qaeda and its affiliates are small men on the wrong side of history. They lead no nation. They lead no religion. We need not give in to fear every time a terrorist tries to scare us. We should not discard our freedoms because extremists try to exploit them. We cannot succumb to division because others try to drive us apart. We are the United States of America. We’ve repaired our union, faced down fascism, and outlasted communism. We have gone through turmoil and come out stronger, and we will do so once more.

I know this to be true because I see the strength and resilience of the American people. Terrorists want to scare us, but New Yorkers go about their lives unafraid. Extremists want a war between America and Islam, but Muslims are a part of our national life, including those who serve in our Army. Adversaries want to divide us, but we are united by our support for you – soldiers who send a clear message that this country is both the land of the free and the home of the brave.

dhimmiPOTUS marches on.

No limit to his efforts to bring this Nation down.

[Soothesayer]

Nothing particularly controversial in that speech just Obama’s inability (or unwillingness?) to recognize the Islamic roots of planet-wide terrorism.

Watching this twit is like sitting in a locked room with a three year old who just pulled the pin on a hand grenade and is holding down the lever.

It’s pretty clear that Zer0 doesn’t do the writing for TOTUS. Someone is making him back off spouting his natural US hatred in these highly public speeches of late.

Every time Obama utters the phrase “but let’s be clear”, I know it is time to start parsing his words or ignore him entirely.

[rbosque]

Islam has nothing to do with our freedoms, they have nothing to do with our culture and way of life. If the last one jumps off a cliff, I would not miss him in fact, I would rejoice that our rights would no longer be held hostage to a vocal death cult.

[Deo volente]

It's just an unfortunate misunderstanding that somehow has gone on for fourteen centuries. I'm sure we could get everybody together for a beer in the Rose Garden and clear this whole thing up.

Obama is a Muslim. They did not tell us this when he was elected. He should go.

It is so. And I've also noticed that whenever he says, "We're not trying to (insert outrageous political act here)", that is precisely what he is trying to do.

[PghBaldy]

Hey Obama! Terrorists do not want to scare us. They want to kill us.

[Harpo Speaks]

“We’ve repaired our union, faced down fascism, and outlasted communism. We have gone through turmoil and come out stronger, and we will do so once more.”

What is this “we” he talks about?

When has he or his New Left ideology ever done to repair the union? The new left tried to tear the country apart. Face down fascism? By trying to replace it with another form of collectivism? Outlasted communism? When the New Left tried everything they could to appease the Soviet Union and establish the socialist path to communism?

Everything that has made this country great, Barack Obama has had no part of.

[savagesusie]

Well put!

[Robert A Cook PE]

True, true.
But the problem is, when Obama says (reads) something that I know is true and sounds correct, or when he says (reads) something that is actually good for America, then I KNOW he is lying because HE does not actually believe it, nor will he ever actually do what he is promising.

On the other hand, when he IS saying (er, reading) something that he DOES believe and WILL actually do, then he has to be lying because he cannot be truthful to the public. Not if he is ever to get his agenda of destroying American capitalism and freedoms.

..., faced down fascism, and outlasted communism.

Apparently not!

Worth repeating.

Zero is a neo-Marxist so nothing he says is true unless it leads to one-world communist government which is his only evil goal.

Of course, he wants to sit on the throne and dictate but he will be eliminated like all the other useful idiots.

Last laugh will be on him, if he gets his wish.

Yes, we are laughing at the stupidity of all the leftist idiots, but our souls cry out at their godless hell-hole to which they are taking this great country. "God is Dead!" The nihilistic culture wreaks! This Culture of Death is a tyranny of the soul! They are sooooo stupid and ignorant of history and philosophy and have no way to put together a logical, cogent thought.

They are acolytes of Skinner and Pavlov--extremely dangerous folks. Conditioning the masses. I do not think zero will wake up from his drug-induced illusions.

[Manic_Episode]

Yet our borders are wide open inviting them to come kill us.

Is a drinking game and right now I am three sheets to the wind!
