President Barack Obama stirred outraged with his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday, comparing the atrocities committed by ISIS to those of Christians "in the name of Christ."
"Unless we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ," Obama said. "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ."
"So it is not unique to one group or one religion," Obama said. "There is a tendency in us, a simple tendency that can pervert and distort our faith."Appearing on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV, conservative commentator Pat Buchanan fumed at Obama comparing the extreme barbarity of ISIS to the Crusades.

I love his pompous, condescending, holier than thou tone as he lectured us about the need for humility.
Since the election he has had his middle finger up at us. He’s telling us how much he hates Christians and this country.
true
I’m one Christian woman who is both PROUD and GRATEFUL that the Crusaders saved our world from the detestable moslem hordes. But at the same time I’m also critical of Vlad the Impaler for what he did to the moslems because he obviously didn’t finish the job.
Obama’s eyes are as demonic as his being. He has no soul.
Geez! Two more years of this moose. God, please help me make it through! Amen.
Well....if THAT’S the case....then EVERYONE (not just Blacks) have been slaves, too you tyrant. My germanic relatives suffered as slaves of the Romans. GTH
The stink of his oratory would explain his being constantly fly-covered, though...
Okay. Done.
Okay. Done.
Oh yes! That one will be added to my repetoire!
Yup, hundreds of years ago some bad things happened, but Christians evolved. Muslim’s like Obama did not.
His remarks are a wake up call to every American on the fence as to his faith. It’s CLEAR now. Thanks, dumbazz.
