Potential Koran burning
It is okay for Muslims states to dance in the streets on the day of 9/11, burn the American flag as a rebuttal to the United States and our 1st amendment that allows anyone to burn our flag in our country or even to burn the Bible or Koran. But it appears to raise anger when somebody will burn the Koran as may happen on 9/11/2010. It is okay to display disgusting displays against the Blessed Virgin, Jesus and Christianity as freedom of speech, but not okay to burn the Koran. Why? Whether you agree or disagree with the Koran burning, what is the difference? Are we afraid what the Islamic states may do to our troops, citizens or country that they have not done already. We can just leave Afghanistan, let the Taliban take over the country again and when problems develop as they will, we will use a military weapon we have not used since 1945 rather than risk another life of our military soldier for a country that believes we are the villain in the world. Lets call our troops home from overseas bases and build bases on our southern borders where the money spent will benefit our country. It is about time we tell the world to take care of your problems yourself and if you bother us, we will deal with you our way. I am tired of our lives being destroyed, money being spent to save countries that hate our guts. We don't need this anymore. I am tired of being the policemen of the world. When emergencies happen, earthquakes, floods, etc, we are the ones that are the first responders with our military and donations while other countries just give lip service. I think it is about time that we put our people first. I never thought I would think this way, but I think enough is enough. The United States must be our first priority.

More from our First President
Interesting quotes from George Washington that apply today. Little did he know.
In 1789 he described how the Constitution with all of its wisdom, could ultimately come to naught by the depravity of the people and those who govern them, since the Constitution in the hands of a corrupt people was a mere "wall of words" or a "mound of parchment".
Since Washington believed in God and Divine Providence, he believe if the United States moved away from God, American could not expect the continuing smiles of Heaven if the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself ordained were disregarded.

Interesting quotes from George Washington
In 1778 George Washington wrote the following that seems to apply to what is happening to our country today. "Providence has heretofore taken us up when all other means and hope seemed to be departing from us, in this I will confide." In
1780, he declared the following:
"providence, to whom we are infinitely more indebted than we are to our own wisdom, or our own exertions, has always displayed its power and goodness, when clouds and thick darkness seemed ready to overwhelm us. The hour is now come when we stand much in need of another manifestation of its bounty however little we deserve it."
George Washington believed God was the driving force behind the success of the Colonies in the Revolutionary War. We just have to return to God and ask for his guidance, forgiveness and intervention to return us to what he gave us through our Founding Fathers.

Are you a racist?
If you disagree with the Mosque being built near Ground Zero you are considered a racist. If you believe based on what you have heard and observed happening around the world that Islam advocates violence to achieve their world order designs, you are considered a racist. If you dislike Obama and his socialist policies, you are considered a racist for not liking a black president. If you believe that those who come to live in this country should assimilate into America you are considered a racist. If you believe that our borders should be secured and sealed to prevent illegals from entering, you are considered a racist. If you believe that illegals apprehended in this country should be deported or jailed depending on their actions, you are considered a racist. If you believe George Bush is responsible for all the world problems since the beginning of time, you are wanted by the Socialist Democratic Party.
Who are the real liars?
Roger Clemens gets indicted for lying to Congress and nothing happens to Congress when they continually lie to the American people. So much for equal justice.

Manchurian Candidate? or Just another Jimmy Carter
We have finally come to the conclusion that when Obama speaks it is all about him. Therefore, he will now be known at Ibama. Let me make this perfectly clear, he is an ideologue and all he is interested in pursuing while president is his Socialist/Marxist agenda. Remember, his mother was a Marxist, his father an avowed communist, his grandparents that raised him, avowed communist, his mentor introduced by his grandparents, an admitted communist and in his own words, sought out the radicals in school. In addition, he has surrounded himself with Marxist, communist, Mao lovers and socialist. This is why he thinks and acts the way he does. He was raised this way. He could be the Manchurian candidate.

Obama's Islamic America
President Obama says Islam has always been part of America, which raises the question, does the president know something about American history that we don't?
It has become customary for presidents to offer greetings to various religious communities on the occasion of their most holy days. Presidents Ford and Carter both issued Ramadan messages, as did Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. The Ramadan greeting became intensely political during Mr. Bush's tenure because he was seeking to dispel the charge that the war on terrorism was a crusade against Islam. But Mr. Obama has used the occasion of Ramadan to rewrite U.S. history and give Islam a prominence in American annals that it has not earned.
In this year's greeting, Mr. Obama said the rituals of Ramadan "remind us of the principles that we hold in common and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country."
That Islam has had a major role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings may come as a surprise to Muslim women. Young Afghan girls who are having acid thrown in their faces on the way to school might want to offer their perspectives. That Islam is "known" for diversity and racial equality is also a bit of a reach. This certainly does not refer to religious diversity, which is nonexistent in many Muslim-majority states. This is a plaudit better reserved for a speech at the opening of a synagogue in Mecca.
Most puzzling is the president's claim that "Islam has always been part of America." Islam had no influence on the origins and development of the United States. It contributed nothing to early American political culture, art, literature, music or any other aspect of the early nation.
Throughout most of American history, the Muslim world was perceived as remote, alien and belligerent. Perhaps the president was thinking about the Barbary Pirates and their role in the founding of the U.S. Navy, or Andrew Jackson's dispatch of frigates against Muslim pirates in Sumatra in the 1830s. Maybe he was recalling Rutherford B. Hayes' 1880 statement regarding Morocco on "the necessity, in accordance with the humane and enlightened spirit of the age, of putting an end to the persecutions, which have been so prevalent in that country, of persons of a faith other than the Muslim, and especially of the Hebrew residents of Morocco." Or Grover Cleveland's 1896 comment on the continuing massacre of Armenian Christians: "We have been afflicted by continued and not infrequent reports of the wanton destruction of homes and the bloody butchery of men, women and children, made martyrs to their profession of Christian faith. ... It so mars the humane and enlightened civilization that belongs to the close of the nineteenth century that it seems hardly possible that the earnest demand of good people throughout the Christian world for its corrective treatment will remain unanswered."
It also is customary in the United States to search for obscure contributions made by in-vogue minority groups as a feel-good way of promoting inclusion. One of the earliest Muslims to come to the United States was a 17th-century Egyptian named Norsereddin, who settled in the Catskills and was described by one chronicler as "haughty, morose, unprincipled, cruel and dissipated." Spurned by the princess of an Indian tribe that had befriended him, he managed through a subterfuge to poison her. He was later run down by the betrayed Indians, who burned him alive. It is not the kind of tale that makes it into politically correct history books.
