What Romney Should Have Said
American Spectator ^ | 2012-09-12 | Ben Stein

Posted on 09/13/2012 2:19:33 PM PDT by justlurking

This is the speech I would have liked to have heard from Presidential candidate Mitt Romney yesterday.

"My fellow Americans, today is the eleven year anniversary of the horrible mass murders of innocent men, women, and children in the United States by sick, twisted terrorists hiding behind the cloak of Islam. By a terrible stroke, today also marked vicious attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya. These attacks, by raging, cowardly mobs, were supposedly instigated by an amateur e-mail about the being whom Muslims consider sacred and a Holy prophet, Mohammed. This e-mail was made in the United States under the protection of our Constitution, which protects freedom or speech and expression. The mobs who attacked our missions objected to the e-mail cartoon or whatever it was. They have the complete right to object. But they do not have the right under any international law to attack our diplomatic stations for any reason at all.

"My opponent, Mr. Barack Obama, chose to meet this international outrage by apologizing to the mobs in the form of a letter from Mrs. Clinton's State Department condemning the making of the offending e-mail.

Read the rest at the link. I think Ben nailed it. He closes with:

"He didn't make that speech but it's not too late."

He should have said:

“Under my administration, islam will be considered an ideology and not a religion. All funding, special permits and other considerations given to real religions will be forthwith ended.

“Likewise, islam will be considered to be an anti-American sect, like Nazis and the KKK and will be watched very closely.

“As Americans, their free speech rights will never be abridged. But neither shall they be subsidized.

“Any who disagree with this are welcome and encouraged to leave.”

Romney doesn’t have the gonads to be that direct. Newt would have creamed the insane bunch of killers.

Ben Stein is schizophrenic. One day spot on, next a complete idiot. I’m not sure he is stable.

Had Romney actually stated this, I would have instantly become a louder, more tireless Team Mittens shill than Jennifer Rubin and Ann Coulter combined.

While I obviously share your sentiments, at this point I'd pay good money for certain knowledge that The (Marxist Moslem) One would only get 40% of the vote. We'd be done with him and a lot of his minions.

Ben has lost it. He can barely remember if he’s in Idaho, Malibu or Beverly Hills.

I love to hear a man complain about money that has three houses in expensive-to-live areas.

And, btw, he and his dad’s views on economics suck.

“Wage and Price controls...anyone? Anyone?”

He did not say it because it is not true. Islam is not a homogenous religion. People here have decided it is but they are wrong.

The elements causing us problems are a very small minority of mostly Arabs.

Those who have been duped will never admit thay have been duped, but the plan was to dupe them into ceasing to give support to countries with the wacko Islamist minority demonstrators.

Tryin to appease them is like pissin in the ocean.

>> Islam is not a homogenous religion. <<

1) It is not a religion, it is an ideology that is wrapped in religion as a cloak (and to dupe the stupid of which there are many)

2) All version are based on the same accursed qu’ran and started by the pedophile satan worshipper muhammed (may he rot in hell in a pig skin forever).

You note a difference without a distinction.

I totally agree...
Used to love him and his articles in Amer Spec...
Yet on Fox business shows on Sat, he jumps the shark...
But still hard to turn on him after reading his great little book,
“Tommy and Me” about his adopted son...highly recommend it.

What you have written is total drivel. I don’t know who taught you that crap but they were very ignorant.
