Obama's Remarks Show Shocking Ignorance Of Western Civilization

Culture: In remarks at a prayer meeting Thursday, President Obama implied Christianity, just like Islam, is filled with people who "hijack religion for their own murderous ends." This is the progressive disease of moral equivalence at its worst.

In recent days and weeks, the world has watched grimly as the horrific barbarity of fundamentalist Islam has been put on full display.

With routine beheadings, crucifixions, tortures, mass killings of civilians, burying children alive, and, most recently, burning a prisoner alive and filming his death agony to the approving yells of onlookers, it's clear something is horribly wrong within Islam. And yet, apart from rather routine denunciations of the savagery, Obama used his appearance at a National Prayer Breakfast to upbraid Christians for their sins. "Unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ," Obama said. "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ."

The remarks aren't merely insulting. They betray a deep ignorance of Western Judeo-Christian culture and its history.

My loathing of the illegitimate, bisexual Marxist Kenyan Muslim Usurper requires a stiff drink.

And it’s too early yet...

I agree. It has gotten so bad, only God can solve the problems we have. This is not going to end well.

Liberalism is stupidity masquerading as intelligence, ignorance masquerading as wisdom, oppression masquerading as freedom.

That ignorance is dangerously common among the left.

First thing this morning I got a comment from some idiot declaring himself to be a “history major” who said that Muslims didn’t slaughter their way across the mideast, North Africa and into Southern Europe. He claimed they peacefully evangelized their way across the world living in peaceful coexistence with all they encountered and the crusades were a bloodthirsty Christian tantrum.

Every once in a while, Obama’s mask slips. Observe his face as he spoke these words of condemnation of Christians. It looked like hate.

That anyone is "shocked" by this at this point is, well, shocking.

Darrell Waltrip gave a great Keynote speech. Its unfortunate that the idiot stumbling over his stupidity overshadowed it.

He went to high school in Indonesia. He has a whole lot of that anti-American attitude ingrained in that area of the world. This might be the version of Christianity and US History he was taught.

What's disturbing is that he operates from childhood prejudice instead of from reality.

Thats the kind of person you offer to buy a ticket to Eastern Syria/Western Iraq for, then dare them to take it.

When they refuse you declare the debate over based on their forefeit, and walk away.
