I don’t know about this? We are fighting all of the time to focus on our Judeo/Christian beliefs in our society. I hope that the authors are not willing to throw this premise away to argue a point against Obama.
In many ways Obama is a salesman who really doesn't believe in his product. His background as a community organizer, his statements, associations and issues' advocacy all suggest that he finds America to be a tragically flawed, unfair country; one of the reasons he so identifies with foreign audiences. This is why in these overseas pronouncements it's easy for the president to serve up what he thinks his audience wants to hear, because he and his audience harbor many of the same views.

Personally I don’t see the problem, we don’t mount wars of religious conquest anymore, Israel stopped doing that a very long time ago. The Muslims still do that so they are triumphalist, if my dictionary understanding of the word is correct...lol.
Thanks, I will pass it along.
excellent. Thank you.
