I love Thomas Sowell! Why don't people realize that the “turn the other cheek” command by Jesus was concerning personal insults. America has run out of cheeks! All 600 million of them (or 1200 million depending on your definition of “cheeks”)! The sole purpose of government is to defend its citizens, to ensure domestic tranquility, to protect our unalienable rights - first of which is the right to LIFE.

In classic Christian political theory, the leader or governor of a state or group of people has the responsibility to defend his people, not to forgive attacks on them (which is not his to do, anyway...) and tell them to lie down and wait for the enemy to overrun them.

But Obama knows that. What nobody wants to admit is that he goes one step further: he’s actually on their side. Why do you think his first televised address after inauguration was to the “Muslim world” and not to the American people? Why did it consist of apologies and the attempt to make it sound as if the US was a Muslim country?

It’s not simply misguided niceness or even leftwing naivete that makes him want to let these people go. It’s hatred of us, the people of the United States, and our political structure, majority religion, and freedom.

But FIRST ya gotta get BORN!

We murder our OWN citizens - 45,000,000 and counting - so why should we complain if other folks do then same thing?
