“If a Mumbai/Bombay happens here, I wouldn’t want to be a Muslim living in America.”
You forgot that this is not the America you read about in books. The first thing we’ll do is appologize to the terrorists, then we put on the kneepads, build a few mosques at our expense and have a trial with a judge who is a member of the ACLU. Muslims are absolutely safe in America, and they know it.
I wasn’t referencing the Obama administration, the U.S. judicial system or local governments: I was talking about you, me and the guy next door.
You bet, and being justifiable angry, showing any signs of defense, retaliation or anger, they will be labeled a racist.
In a society gone mad, led and governed by politically correct psychopaths.
Victor Davis Hanson wrote a very penetrating piece about the Young Jesus. He punches through all the horsesh*t surrounding Obama's personality in this one paragraph after describing what liberals think Obama could be up to. Money graph here:
I've collated the dozens of articles from liberal thinkers that explain why so far Obama—the candidate of hope and change, and cleaning out the entrenched status quo that so warps our D.C. politics and ensures stasis in our policies—has surrounded himself either with Clintonites, outright Bush people or those who worked closely with them, and centrists of ambiguous politics. The explanations are quite creative and run the gamut:1) Whom else might a Democrat pick, given that the Carterites are now 28 years out of office, and team Clinton the only experienced circle of liberals still around (and given that Democrats have only been in the executive branch for 8 out of the last 28 years)?
2) This is part of Obama's brilliant grand strategy. Just wait and see how Machiavellian it works out: By coopting power-hungry centrist pros to enact HIS "progressive" policies, he can advance a leftist agenda much more effectively and fend off gratuitous attacks from the right-wing attack machine.
3) Review what Obama actually promised and you will learn he actually ran a centrist campaign; the problem is that too many liberals simply projected their own agendas on him, and saw what they wished rather than what was there.
4) These are not centrists at all. Gates was at heart a sort of anti-Bush maverick. Hillary and others are liberals that used to be the bane of right-wingers. The new economic team wants to assume government control of essential industries.
5) This is just a small sampling of appointments; wait until you see the U.N. rep, NEA, NEH, key figures at State and Justice. By picking bumper-sticker centrists at the figuratively top spots, he can appoint real progressives under the radar at the bread and butter posts where real policies happen.
Note that the most obvious and embarrassing explanation is taboo and blasphemous: That Obama is a masterful politician who never has had any real ideology or persona other than his own diversity story and history, youth, and charisma that together allow him to be whatever is politically expedient at the time.
That is, there is a pattern here: public campaign financing, FISA, NAFTA, drilling, nuclear power, coal, guns, capital punishment, abortion, Iran, Iraq, the surge, etc. all were repackaged as the primary and general elections evolved. A community organizing past that once welcomed in a Wright, Pfleger, Ayers, Khalidi, became inoperative lest he meet a McGovern-like fate.
This is very much in the mold of Bill Clinton: whatever expediency works to expand his own power and career is what Obama will pursue. Principle is secondary.
Fearless prediction: Obama will throw the Muzzies under the bus if he has to to survive after a mass-casualty attack. People don't get this yet. The stupid libs think he's principled. People like Oliver Willis, Arianna Huffington, and Andrew Sullivan are in for one hell of a surprise.
Best,
Chris
Spot on.
They are only safe from half of us.
