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.

>>What you have written is total drivel. I dont know who taught you that crap but they were very ignorant.<<
I have read the accursed qu’ran.
And if you don’t know the difference between a religion and an ideology you are on the wrong board.
What Romney said was excellent. He sounded like a normal US Pesident. Obama sounds like an even weaker jimmy carter. He is a total disgrace.
>>You note a difference without a distinction.
Uhhhh...<<
Your note that I have inverted the words is a distinction without a difference ;)
You are just full of it. Why should I believe anything you think you learned from a bigoted reading?
Ben published an article long ago about that. I think it was in the WSJ.
He said that Hughes heard his voice, and thought it was perfect for a droning teacher. But, Ben was supposed to be off-camera.
On the set, the extras were laughing so hard at his deadpan delivery, they instead put Ben on camera. And, the rest was history.
I loved “Ben Stein’s Money”. I was always amazed at his encyclopedic memory. But, Ben finally met his match - one guy aced all ten questions in the lightning round, blowing both me and Ben away. I only saw it happen once, and never saw even Ben equal it.
The contestant got a standing ovation from the audience. Even I was cheering for him. I always wondered how he would have matched up against Ken Jennings.
:^)
Grammar police here: CORRECTION: Should of been: "Should of"!
LOL! That one gets to me too.
You're not my gramm'ar'!
>>You are just full of it. Why should I believe anything you think you learned from a bigoted reading?<<
Are you sure you are on the right board?
KOS is 2 rooms to the left.
I am sure you cheered the muslims on yesterday, and are hoping they do more today and tomorrow.
Others may have patience for your liberalism — I do not.
I needed guidance :)
Never knew that..(Ben wasn’t to be on camera).
Interesting. Thanks.
I thought he was great in that part.
‘Newt would have creamed the insane bunch of killers.’
Got that right.
He was our choice - - -
I have been waiting for weeks for Romney to be asked the ‘Islam/Muslim’ question . . .
even as I display his sign in the yard.
If asked weeks ago, his answer might have been a bit different than after yesterday’s horrors.
When I hear his stance, I will know where we
are at with him - - -
NOTHing is more critical then how we deal with The Religion Of Constant Anger and the Right To Be Offended.
(Actually, I believe the percentage of rioters are active because they have nothing better to do, and are just itching for something to use up energy. Just give them an excuse) - - -
I would agree...Ben Stein can be brilliant at times and really give you ten lines of great thinking. Then he could turn around and say some absolutely stupid things that you’d expect out of a first-year college student.
I stopped listening to Stein when he trashed the Tea Party and agreed with Obama on taxing millionaires. He also endorsed Al Franken. Unforgivable.
