Krauthammer: Enough is enough-Show some respect, human decency and stay away from ground zero
The Bowling Green Daily News ^ | August 21, 2010 | Charles Krauthammer

Posted on 08/22/2010 12:00:02 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

It’s hard to be an Obama sycophant these days. Your hero delivers a Ramadan speech roundly supporting the building of a mosque and Islamic center at Ground Zero in New York. Your heart swells and you’re moved to declare this President Obama’s finest hour, his act of greatest courage.

Alas, the next day, at a remove of 800 miles, Obama explains that he was only talking about the legality of the thing and not the wisdom - upon which he does not make, and will not make, any judgment.

You’re left looking like a fool because now Obama has said exactly nothing: No one disputes the right to build; the whole debate is about the propriety, the decency of doing so.

It takes no courage whatsoever to bask in the applause of a Muslim audience as you promise to stand stoutly for their right to build a mosque, giving the unmistakable impression that you endorse the idea. What takes courage is to then respectfully ask that audience to reflect upon the wisdom of the project, and to consider whether the imam’s alleged goal of interfaith understanding might not be better achieved by accepting the New York governor’s offer to help find another site.

Where the president flagged, however, the liberal intelligentsia stepped in with gusto, penning dozens of pro-mosque articles characterized by a frenzied unanimity, little resort to argument and a singular difficulty dealing with analogies.

The Atlantic’s Michael Kinsley was typical in arguing that the only possible grounds for opposing the ground zero mosque are bigotry or demagoguery. Well then, what about Pope John Paul II’s ordering the closing of the Carmelite convent at Auschwitz? Surely there can be no one more innocent of that crime than those devout nuns.

Radical Islam is not, by any means, a majority of Islam.

There are no moderate Muslims.

Well, to say it differently: "moderate Muslims" are like "pro-abortion Catholics" -- you can self-identify any way you like, but you're doing it wrong and you simply cannot be the thing which you claim to be.

All proper Muslims support jihad.

Radical Islam is not, by any means, a majority of Islam. But with its financiers, clerics, propagandists, trainers, leaders, operatives and sympathizers - according to a conservative estimate, it commands the allegiance of 7 percent of Muslims, i.e., over 80 million souls -

That's a lot of minority radicals to worry about. And the "majority of Islam" does not denounce their Radical brethren.

This isn’t a mosque, it’s a monument.

It has far more in common with the Arc de Triumph and Roman victory monuments than it has with any church. That is why it *has* to be built on the graves of 3000 Americans and the backers of the mosque steadfastly refuse to move it anywhere else.

The ultimate question is, what is his Svengali-like hold on his followers? Is is hypnosis, magic potion, a drug?

Demonic opression/possession.

Really.

I agree.

There's really nothing else that would explain it.

That said, I am curious how Obama came by this knowledge/power and how he invokes it and who is he to be able to do so?

My guess is either it is something he picked up in Kenya from his granny (lotsa witchcraft in Kenya) or he is a REAL Luciferian or he is the AC.

Whatever the answer, it is like something out of The Omen!

I occasionally buy courses for my homeschooled sons from The Teaching Company. I recently DIDN’T buy one because Noah Chomsky was one of the instructors. We don’t even take linguistic instruction from such a slug.

He doesn't invoke it. It invokes him.

He's a walk-in, a body effectively without a soul. He was designed that way from birth, probably molested by one or more of the adult male perverts his sick family placed around him. Filled with Marxism and hatred, pharmaceutically enhanced later in life, indoctrinated with Islam.

He was a perfect vessel for a trans-corporate intelligence to occupy.

I think a really powerful one landed in him.

And if the polls are any indication of spirituality, 25% of Americans are possessed by similar but lesser entities who "strongly approve".

That is what I have always believed, that they worship a moon rock and call it God. Strange.
