Obama apologizes


Forget the first 100 days determining the direction of the presidency. How about just one week? In seven days we have additional rights for women wanting to kill their inconvenient unborn babies as Barack called them during the debates, more rights for terrorists, a new Treasury secretary who doesn't pay taxes, and now we are apologizing to the terrorists overseas.

That's right, Barack Obama apologized today on middle eastern television by saying the USA dictates to the world what happens and we need to listen more. Saying this on middle eastern television sends the message they are right and we are wrong. We are the big bullies. Oh, he didn't use the word bully, but what else does it mean that we dictate things too often?? The only world issue we've dictated anything about in these past seven years is being on the offensive against those folks wanting to kill us. Yet, Barack says we are going to dialog with them.

Why we would want to listen to people who deny the holocaust ever happened is absurd to me! Ronald Reagan just chucked his "tear down this wall" speech into the nearest heavenly trash bin. I'm so happy the extremists can now feel justified in their hatred of all that is America and Israel. It's our fault. We deserve it. Barack agrees America is a bully. Talk about creating and emboldening terrorists. This will go farther than George Bush ever did in creating more people wanting to kill us.

What we actually did was liberate 50 million people, in two countries, from their religious brothers who were oppressing them. Where the heck is the ACLU to praise Mr. Bush for getting in the way of religious extremists? They complain about evangelicals every day here. It appears religious zealotry leading to suicide bombings is kosher, but Christians wanting to save babies from butchers is extreme. Feel free to disagree over the Iraq strategy employed by Bush, but we are not the bad guys in this conflict. Last time I looked the Israelites had to go into Gaza again after Palestinians broke their cease fire promise for the billionth time and started pelting innocent citizens with rockets. These are the people who hide behind civilians not us! These are the people who create chaos wherever they live not us!

How do you 'listen' to folks who get rich off our energy dollars and funnel the money to terrorist organizations fighting proxy wars? How do you listen to people whose answer to the human condition is killing everyone disagreeing with them? Being nice isn't going to make these people go away. Turning the other cheek sounds great, but it doesn't work. It didn't work in the 1940's and it won't work now.

Quit apologizing for us President Obama. I'm proud of our country for standing tall these past 100 years against the forces of evil and hatred. Somebody has to do it and it certainly won't be you.

  1. Wow, Tom. How's this fear-mongering thing working out for you?
    I thought turning the other cheek was originally Jesus' idea... we are for him, right? Or is simply anyone who isn't "us" is against us?
    Ah, we never did agree on this type of thing. But how does tearing down the new president help?

    Tell Connie I said hello!

  2. I'll have to go back and read the story of Jericho for lessons in turning the other cheek. I must've missed where God withheld his blessing on the matter

    People can be different, but people whose difference involves killing those they disagree with seems to be problematic to me. But then again, I'm not 'tolerant' so what do I know.

    How the heck are you? Email me sometime and catch me up on life. I was just talking about you at lunch today.
