I swear! The wild reach of rationalization that the "R" worshipers will go to is beyond astounding!

Oh my. You are easily astounded, sir.

On the other side of that coin of astonishment I find the instant leap to conclude the worst motives and hysterically condem President Bush and anyone in his administration that does anything halfway civil in public dealings with Muslim leaders in America is just as irrational.

The anti-Republican, anti-Bush 'nukem' crowd is very vocal and easily excited but grownups dealing with life and death issues don't act like screaming idiots ever time they see a Muslim, especially those in the Bush administration. You confuse simple civility with appeasment and approval of terrorists. That's absurd and renders your ranting against Bush rather hollow, but that never stopped the anti-Bush, anti-Republican crowd before, why should this meeting - of which we know little - be any different? It's a Bush administration official meeting with Muslims; it must be evil and worse. Yada yada yada.

Maybe the meeting was a bad idea. I Don't know what happened so I can't make an honest judgement and I'll withold such judgement until I have the facts. Not that this ever occurs to the hysteria-prone nukem crowd. After all, that would be rational and take some restraint when we all know that jumping to wild conclusions and posting screaming screeds against President Bush is a LOT more fun than calm observation and fact checking. Lots more. I know this only because I see it here every time a Bush administration offical meets with some Muslim types - for any reason. This time is no exception.

Doesn't make it right or sensible but it says a lot about the folks who just want to name-call Bush administration people and any FReeper who dares to support our president. After all, Bush is a (gasp!) Republican.

This is not me you are talking about.

The anti-Republican, anti-Bush ... crowd

Again, this is not me. You need to do a modicum of research before you fly off the handle, pal. I am a Republican and have run for major office as a Republican and have always voted Republican. And I have strongly supported Bush, but am not happy with everything he has done. However, I take exception to those who cannot bring themselves to consider any criticism of any Republican's actions, however outrageous.

Here you are talking out of your a$$ AGAIN. I didn't criticize the meeting, rant against Bush or against the Republican party. Nor am I a part of the anti-Republican crowd. I merely expressed astonishment that anyone could think calling iSLAM the religion of peace is going to induce muslims to rise above the violent teachings of the Koran. I also expressed some chagrin over the blind and worshipful faith some place in their "leaders".

Cheak YOUR facts before posting your lying scychophantic screed against me, you moron! I did not do this crap you are accusing me of. Stop bearing false witness, if you intend to claim you are a Christian. Get it together!
