Obama speaks at the National Prayer Breakfast

Earlier this week, Obama went to and addressed the National CHRISTIAN prayer breakfast. One item on the agenda was to pray for the over 1 Million Armenian Christians murdered by Muslim Turks in the early 20th Century...yes in 1915, the 20th century. Yet Obama acknowledges this atrocity by choosing an historical factoid from 1000 years ago to hector and besmirch the christians to whom he was speaking. He didn't use a reference by christians during the 20th century, he went back 1000 years to find fault. And he ignored the reason the prayers for those murdered in the 20th century were being offered.

Rather than supporting Christians at a christian faith event, rather than discussing the good works of the christian denominations to which he spoke, rather than make an attempt to unite, he chose to use the platform to pick a point in christian history 1000 years past as a comparison to justify the atrocities being perpetrated by Islamists today.  Obama didn't choose to be uplifting, he chose to castigate the religion of the people to whom he was speaking, 

If this were a one time faux pax, perhaps there would not be much justification for making this an issue, but from the time that Obama began running for the presidency, he has been pursuing this false flag notion of positive Islamic contribution. This is the recurring theme of the Obama narrative. Remember, when he was running for the presidency in 2008, Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a positive part of America 's history." Later, after his election, speaking at a dinner celebrating Ramadan, Obama stated, "Throughout our history, Islam has contributed to the character of our country, and Muslim Americans, and their good works, have helped to build our nation -- and we've seen the results. We've seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrants -- farmers and factory workers, helping to lay the railroads and build our cities. Muslim innovators who helped build some of our highest skyscrapers and who helped to unlock the secrets of our universe."  In 2014, Obama made a speech to a muslim group thanking Muslim Americans for their many “achievements and contributions… to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy.” When in 2009, when discussing the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a radical Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist supposedly counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama claimed this was not an act of terrorism, but a case of workplace violence.  Even today, when asked to directly address the atrocities being committed by ISIS and al Qaida, our president cannot being himself to refer to them as terrorists, yet he has no issue with referring to Americans who oppose his views as "Domestic Terrorists"

I could go on, with many more examples and I could offer many examples of muslim atrocities committed against Americas citizens but Obama's attempts to uplift the muslim adherents is such a juxtaposition to his denigrating of Christians at a christian event that he is blatantly transparent.

The point is, rather than unite, rather than lead, rather than to unify, Obama willfully chooses to use his bully pulpit to divide the citizens he represents. His speech, while perhaps factually correct was improper for the venue, completely unwarranted, out of place and wholly inappropriate. At best his lecturing of christians is a stretch, and shows just how ridiculously out of touch he really is. At worst it shows diabolical intent. This is not American leadership and it is why there is so much blowback against his speech.

Marathon Bombing, Suspect #2

After the capture of Suspect #2 in the Boston Marathon bombing incident, many people were appalled that the suspect, an American citizen, was given his Miranda rights.  Of course we read him his rights.  We are a nation of laws and believe in the rule of law.  If we lose sight of this, we are no better than those who intend to harm us.  A couple of "radicalized Islamists", the surviving participant an American citizen, practiced their religious belief here in America and committed an atrocity upon innocent Americans. Why? Because they don't agree with our Politics. I don't agree with our politics either, but you sure as hell don't see me or any other Christians, Jews, Hindus or LDS members acting out this way in the name of their chosen religion do you? 

Here is the issue for me,   I believe the American citizen committing this act of violence still has rights and one of them is to have miranda invoked. I believe in the rule of law and I believe in the freedoms we (used to) have in America.  I believe we have the right to speak up in opposition but not act out in a violent manner.

I'm against the US government policy of Nation Building (ie..intruding). I am against the government sending Billions of dollars in "aid" every year to middle eastern and other countries which is wasted, has little oversight and never reaches those intended. I am opposed to our government selling arms across the globe to whatever faction happens to be the flavor of the month only to find out that the winds have changed a year later and we have supplied people who wage Jihad against us. I am adamantly opposed to the US invasion of ANY sovereign nation (ie...Iraq and soon Syria). I advocate that we cut back our military presence around the world and both the size and footprint of our standing armies to the absolute minimum. We do not need to and should not be policemen to the world. And I am completely opposed to the concept of using drones to kill anyone the president deems appropriate.

But that being said, we, not Iran, Iraq or any other middle eastern country, were attacked here in America by muslim fundamentalists who teach and preach jihad, murder of infidels and the use of Sharia Law in America. I do not accept this as a reasonable religious tenet and I will continue to speak out against it. For any muslim supporters, if this offends your sense of morality, well, you have the right to state your case, but understand, I have not found any arguments the least bit persuasive because the arguments forgo the single major difference between Christians and Islamists, Christians are not teaching children from an early age to HATE and execute those who disagree with them. Would that it were different and it's great that only a small percentage of the Islamic world advocates Jihad, but that percentage has placed a target on the backs of Americans TODAY, not 50, 100, 200 or 500 years ago, they are plotting against us TODAY and it only takes a small percentage to end up killing you or me or other Americans who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Better to be prepared than dead as far as I'm concerned.
