Would Abe Lincoln Bow Down to a Slave-Keeping Arab King?
AMERICAN THINKER ^ | April 03, 2009 | James Lewis

Posted on 04/03/2009 9:44:05 PM PDT by kellynla

Step aside, Queen Elizabeth dearie, and allow us to poke you in the ribs on Larry King. What a gag! And to you, imperialist swine Gordon Brown, we give you a well-considered diplomatic slap in the face. Take those cheap DVDs and shove them. As for that Churchill bust, get it outta here. I am the Egg of Change.

As for King Abdullah bin Saud, I, a free-born Black man, bow down to you in the ancient gesture of slave submission --- even though the Saudis no longer welcome bowing to a mere human being, but only to Allah. That low bow and that series of "Up yours!" gestures to the Brits, who are still helping us militarily in Afghanistan, are carefully scripted gestures. They are meant to be seen by you and me -- imperialistic monsters -- and by the famous Arab street, who understand bowing and submission quite nicely. Even though the Arab League just applauded the indicted little Hitler of the Sudan, a regime still deeply enmeshed in criminal genocide and Black slavery -- raiding, killing, and forcible conversion of native African peoples to Islam.

What would Abraham Lincoln say? Would he turn red with shame at the sight of an American president kowtowing to a slave-keeping Arab royal? Would he laugh, and turn it into one of his famous stories? My bet is on laughing, but we'll never know.

We do know that an Illinois frontier lawyer never bows down to anybody. Except maybe to sucker the local Indian Chief into moving off another piece of land. Because Obama's gesture is just that, a mere gesture, and therefore tinged with the contempt Mr. Obama really harbors toward everybody in the world, most of all his own people. I do not think he is a Muslim, because he is bowing toward a human being, not Allah. Obama's father was a socialist atheist, and so is Obama. Which all the Arab regimes know perfectly well.

When we see him going on hajj in a white sheet, we'll know different. Right now this is just Obama grand PR at another level -- like those Greek Styrofoam columns, the Axelrod rock-star campaign aimed at the twitterhead masses who voted him in -- two to one for the under-thirties, with the over-thirties split right down the middle. That's why the twitters still worship him, and will until the day he fades from the scene.

As for that trillion-dollar vow to the Third World, guess who is going to pay it -- and who won't? Right. That's how it always happens with Uncle Sucker at the UN. So it looks like Obama is really a post-colonial revanchist -- one who is intent on taking revenge, psychological and material for the perceived slights of the past.

Next: A trip to Africa to apologize for the slave trade that was stopped by the British Navy and American Republicans, like Abe Lincoln, 150 years ago. A well-rehearsed ancient grievance like slavery, the sins of the great-great-great-grandfathers, can always be used to guilt-trip white folks today into giving more of their money.

Obuffoon just "spit in the eye" of every American who ever wore a United States military uniform. We fought and many died so that we would not have to "bow" to any king, queen or country. And not one, NOT ONE, American newspaper or television network reported the incident...NOT ONE!

This is ironic. Weren’t we told that the Arab world hated the US bcause of Bush? One thing that is hated more in arab streets than Israel or the US, is the House of Faud.

How is it going to look when they 0bama bow before Faud?

I don’t think that “Slave-Keeper” is actually the issue here. Free Americans bow to NO MAN.

I can only think of two former presidents in my time (Kennedy to present) who were possibly stupid enough to
do this, in front of cameras no less, Carter and Clinton, and as far as I know, they didn’t.

This was, and is a Muslim “thang”. That’s all there is to it.

Lincoln would not have bowed or KISSED the Kings’ ring. Look at the photo...http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/bowing%20to%20Saudi%20King.jpg

Obama leans over, his left forearm unseen because it is fully extended grasping the Kings R hand fingers...the King is looking at his hand, ring attached, in anticipation of the KISS. Do the maneuver yourself...his R forearm is unseen flexed upward to keep it out of the way. Do the maneuver with another person yourself, and you will duplicate the picture.

Don't know and don't care...

I am one of those who doesn't give a damn what foreigners think of us...they just want us to “take out their trash” for them and/or send them our hard earned tax dollars while they sit on their duffs. Personally, I am tired of being the "World Cop on the Beat!" I was one of those sent to Nam to fight the Commies and like every war since WWII, we've fought them with "one hand behind our back!"

Sooner or later, we are gonna have to give the muzzies the jihad they so desperately want and the sooner the better.

Semper Fi,
Kelly

I would have liked it better had they kept the camera running longer after the bow. I wanted to see Obama do that chain with shackles walk he does so well.

Oh, my fellow Marine Brother, now you’re talkin’!

Kill them all, and let God sort them out!

That’s the ONLY way to deal with these people...
no hands tied behind the back, no holds barred and no holding back. They’re our enemies, deal with them as such.

That’s what I saw. I also saw what looked like everyone laughing at him, and as such, they were laughing each and every American.

The entire world knows we are now on our knees and that we are very vulnerable..... thanks to this disgusting coward.

"As for that Churchill bust, get it outta here."

Why? Could it be ecause he said this?

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."

-Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899). 1 November 2005 - Australia

Just wait for the new Osama/Zawahiri tape addressing this offense (respect for House of Faud) and why the USA should be destroyed.

The thought occurs to me that maybe
King Abdullah bin Saud IS 0’s king. Just a Manchurian senior moment.

“I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly, those who desire it for others. When I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.”A. Lincoln
