Let’s recall the Trojan Horse;

http://www.conservapedia.com/Trojan_War

After a stalemate lasting ten years, with the Greeks unable to enter Troy and the Trojans unable to send the Greeks home, the cunning Greek king Odysseus devised an ingenious plan. The Greeks pretended to surrender and sail home, leaving behind only an enormous wooden horse, which appeared to be a peace offering.

The Trojans brought the horse inside the city, and at nightfall a horde of Greek warriors burst out of it, caught their enemies off guard and sacked the city.

Although it does not form part of the Iliad, this story is the most famous part of the Trojan War, and the phrase Trojan Horse is now applied to anything that appears benign until it has gained another’s trust, and then reveals itself as malicious and damaging. The proverb ‘Beware of Greeks bearing gifts’, a warning against naivety, also has its origins here.

We allowed the horse into the White House in 2008. The enemy is within.

I have been saying for the last two years... Obama will do something to our country in 2012. He is going to try and destroy us.. He is a Muslim and he is the Trojan Horse... He is the devil, he wants to impose all the bad things the bible talked about.. 2012 I predict will go this way.. Present Obama losing the election by double digits. He is sitting in the white house knowing he is going to go down. He puts on his green muslim scarf and orders the military to launch a pre-emptive strike againsts the Russians... The military tries to stop him but in the Silos there are a few devoted Obamanites. And the rest is history...
Ok I know, great imagination... BUT WHAT IF?

Moderate muslims are like the shell of the trojan horse. Radical/conquistador muslims are the guts of the trojan horse and inside the shell. Which side at the time was benefitted by the shell? The USA as a Christian founded Nation must take the advice of Founders who were concerned with keeping the Republic.
