I always find it repugnant when Barack Obama pretends to articulate and apply America’s moral values. As products of Saul Alinsky’s finishing school for Marxist protégés, Obama and his crew have no respect for the self-evident truths in which those values originate. It’s not that they have no use for them. On the contrary, they refer to them only when they are useful for ideological warfare.
Obama’s reference yesterday to religious tolerance, and America’s respect for religious freedom, is a case in point. According to an AP report, he “is weighing in forcefully on the mosque near ground zero, saying a nation built on religious freedom must allow it….While insisting that the place where the twin towers once stood was indeed “hallowed ground,” Obama said that the proper way to honor it was to apply American values.”
By taking this stance Obama chooses to show no regard for the view that the proposed mosque is intended as a monument to Islamic terrorism’s greatest victory. He chooses simply to brush aside the possibility that it is being erected in the same spirit that led Palestinians, and many other admirers of the 9-11 terrorist assailants to dance in the streets with jubilation at their devastating assault on the United States. He therefore seeks to invoke America’ values in order to embarrass and silence those who seek to defend America’s security against what surely could be an insidious symbol, used to rally and mesmerize new recruits for future attacks against us.
Obama cannot plead ignorance of Muslim history and tradition. He knows that it was the practice of Muslim conquerors to erect places of Islamic worship on or near the sites of their decisive victories (preferably transforming or in place of something held in reverence by the conquered people.) He knows...

I take him seriously!
Obama targeting morale.. But also creating an environment of “desperation for money” whereby first, people are obsessed with paying their bills and not noticing what’s happening politically, and secondly, as seen with the teacher’s bailout, States take the money out of desperation while relinquishing total control of every facet of our society and economy to the now socialist U.S. Government.
If he was a real American, he’d understand it is just pissing America off.
Who says he isn’t?
If he were taken seriously, he would be a candidate for office, and win.
Alan Keyes, Thomas Sowell, and Clarence Thomas, are all head and shoulders above 99% of those who are supposedly brilliant so having them around would make he “in crowd” look bad. Just as importantly, all three of the above as well as a number of other really smart conservatives have morals and stand up for them. That's been a sure fire route to obscurity for decades. On top of all of that, conservatives seem to only like smart folks who are extroverts as well which means they ignore a large number of the smarter folks in their ranks.
It’s the Alinskyite tactics of the Democrats and Republicans. No one has been victimized by it worse than Alan Keyes. And it’s because he simply states the truth without fear or favor. They hate that. It makes them foam at the mouth.
The Muslims will build a mosque near ground zero and some person who lost loved ones on 911 will kill a bunch of Muslims at this mosque. The Muslims will then elevate this to one of their "holy sites" and the area will be the scene of repeated revenge killings by both sides for centuries to come.
Obama is not dumb. He did no misspeak. He did not make a mistake. He knows....
I'm hoping this stance by Obama will finally rile enough Americans to say: 'enough!' Enough with the lectures, never-ending racial politics and the government spending insanity. Enough with the Marxist ideology writ large in just about every new law this guy tries to get passed. He's so wrong on so many issues most folks that care have stopped counting by now.
This Ground Zero mosque deal should finally get Obama's approval ratings into the 30's. Not that he cares, apparently, but it might scare off some of the more loyal idiots Democrats that still support this anti-American alien. Of course, the media will never abandon The One...too much invested in him. They're going down, too. Good riddance to all of them. This one might - finally - do it. One hopes.
Time to revive this tagline, I guess...
Yep.
Well said, Mr. Keyes.
If you are speaking of the_Media_never_lie, I did not put the /sarc> denotation in my tagline, because I thought it was so obvious as not to be needed, right?
Actually, I was agreeing with you, I think.
