BUT he appears to have OD'ed on INCIVILITY towards Christians and Jews...and Panther Whizz in the last couple of weeks

There was a nugget in President Obama’s widely criticized speech at the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this month that hasn’t received the notice –- and, frankly, the opprobrium -- that it deserved. (In fact, only Salon.com of all places, seems to have glommed onto it.) Towards the end of his remarks, the president sermonized thus:
But part of humility is also recognizing in modern, complicated, diverse societies, the functioning of these rights, the concern for the protection of these rights calls for each of us to exercise civility and restraint and judgment. And if, in fact, we defend the legal right of a person to insult another’s religion, we’re equally obligated to use our free speech to condemn such insults -- (applause) -- and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with religious communities, particularly religious minorities who are the targets of such attacks. Just because you have the right to say something doesn’t mean the rest of us shouldn’t question those who would insult others in the name of free speech. Because we know that our nations are stronger when people of all faiths feel that they are welcome, that they, too, are full and equal members of our countries.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
FU BOBO
Good. Now let’s hear him condemn the muslims that refer to Jews as the offspring of pigs and apes.
That is rich coming from this guy.
He has insulted the citizens of this country since before he got elected.
I guess head chopping isn’t a religious insult, huh?
MUSLIMS HAVE NO RIGHTS
Rights are reciprocal. Muslims have no rights because they recognize no rights.
ISIS engages in the same activities that the scumbag so-called prophet Mohammed engaged in and demanded of his followers.
And it’s true that not all majority-Muslim countries are quite so violent as ISIS. Still, there is no Muslim-majority country that recognizes basic human rights, particularly the rights of women.
When they start allowing Catholic churches and Jewish synagogues to be built in Mecca, and when they allow the establishment of restaurants that sell southern American barbecue, I’ll be willing to consider whether Muslims have rights.
Until then, forget it. If they want their rights recognized, the first thing they need to do is to renounce Islam and stop being Muslims.
Cute. This is part of the UN resolution , introduced by Islamists, to condemn “insults to religion.” But in practice, of course, the only protected religion would be Islam.
As for the rest, I think God can handle himself. Charlie Hebdo was way more offensive about Catholicism than about Islam, and not only about things like the pope and the clergy, but about the Trinity. But God survived, and nobody except a pack of French leftists was titilated by it. So who cares?
Islam is a false religion, so it’s pretty thin skinned. But the other thing is that virtually every other word of the Koran isan insult against Christians or Jews or pagans. So should we forbid the Koran? Sounds like a good start to me.
Hypocrite!
Something Rudy Giuliani was pointing out, when is the last time you heard Obama praise the USA? He praises Islam more than the country he is suppose to be leading. Right there that tells you where his head is at. We got a freakin’ Mullah as President.
We pretty much knew this from his mealy mouthing after the slaughter there and at the market. Lately I just get very, very tired when I see this man. He personifies everything I hated about the hippies and the 60s radicals. An here we have voted him in as president twice. Now we’re likely to follow him up with Warren or Clinton. Never have any people thrown away so much, so fast and used the words equality and justice as justification.
Americans don't need you Obama, we have our own guns and will use them against Muslims
when they finally decide to attack us again on our soil. You just keep whistling past the graveyard.
How about religious minorities who have their heads hacked off? Is he prepared to stand shoulder to shoulder with them? He is fully exercised at people who insult people. How about men with axes? How does he feel about them?
We have to realize that there is only one religious minority he cares about. The minorities who they slaughter he cares about not in the least.
Obama never goes in mosques or to muslim pundits when they insult women or other religions on a daily militant basis.
Apparently Infidel does not figure amongst the PC words Hillary or Obama forbid.
We can give them a “jobs” program....digging their own graves.
Wonder how he feels about the British destruction of the
tug religious sect in India.
meanwhile this regime insults Catholics by mandating they pay for abortion and birth control...
the only religion Obama respects is islam
A shovel-ready job!
