See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.

Straight up pandering and chock full o’ lies, re-visionist and perverted history. Don’t worry though, none of the media outlets will even come close to challenging anything he stated head on, don’t want to offend now. What was American thinking? Then Holder issues a “protection of American muslims” statement following this? Protection from what? Free speech and everything else accomodated to Americans? Sheesh. Is it 2012 yet?

No mention of Anwar Sadat. He was a genuine martyr for Peace and President of Egypt and devout Muslim. He was killed by the folks who brought us 9/11. If he had survived, there may have been peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Yet he is an unperson in President Obama Speech. Why’s that?

Yet in this new age, such attitudes are self-defeating. Given our interdependence, any world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will inevitably fail. So whatever we think of the past, we must not be prisoners of it. Our problems must be dealt with through partnership; progress must be shared.

Was President Obama addressing the Muslim world, or just the guys who don’t take that stuff all that seriously? Islam is suppose to conquer the world, and not metaphorically either. Elevating one group of people over the others is at the very center of the religion — and not metaphorically, either. In Islam, unbelievers are subservient to believers. What, does Obama think the head tax on Christian and Jews is like taxing the top 2 per cent? And that is sweet deal compared to the treatment of “idolaters.”

Of course Muslims believe all the above is allowed them. However, it is most definitely not allowed everybody else. The US is not suppose to be above them. They are above the US.

The problem we have with the “The Muslim World” is that they nurse their grievances — grievances among each other but most especially grievances with outsiders. President Obama speaks as if the problem were their low self esteem. But while trying to convince them of their very great self worth (and notice how easily they agree), he is also validating their grievances and leading them to believe he will do something about them.

Hopefully, those who heard it did not take it all that seriously. I fear we are not that lucky.

The road to Cairo was paved with good intentions. Part of the pavement was GM stock, a real energy policy, and Porkulus.
