    How about all your and everyone else's noxious comments directed at conservatives ending... Or are Muslims some special protected class on this site all of a sudden?

    Because if they are... then this site has gone to the dogs...

    You think I'm a zealot? Dude, you obviously know little about Christianity.

    I find it amusing that Christians having survived centuries of barbarism now degrade others trying to do the same thing. And the lengths you go justifying your own self superiority.

    I've read and seen enough of the pasages pointed out over the years... It's not just taking someone's word for it.

    They are there in writing for everyone to see. Nobody has to take my or anyone else's word on it. See for yourself.

    Hi, ex;

    The only namecalling I see on here was one reference to turbans. The pedophilia, the violence, and the paranoia are all taken directly from the Muslim holy books, the Haditha. The paranoia I've noticed in several Israeli and Jewish commentaries, as well. Is this from the Tanakh or do the religions spawned in that area just have long memories?

    I don't see Islam evolving anytime soon, it is full of reversionists. A lot of the centuries of barbarism Christians survived had a muslim barbarian on the other side of the conflict. It wasn't until Christians got their head around crusades should start at home that they freed Europe and they were still fighting in the twentieth century. Now I'm not discounting christian despotism there was a lot of that too, I expect the message didn't really penetrate or was subverted, another story

    Isn't that ENOUGH?? And, it wasn't ONE either, as though that makes a difference... Are you DEFENDING his comments??

    I don't know what's so difficult about distinguishing between talking ABOUT people, and CALLING them names... Truly..

    I understand words very well... and I Understand the roots of words as well. I might not be an English Major but I am a college graduate. And while I am not in the Diplomat Corps and never have been... I've spent a lot of time with Foreign Diplomats and officials over the last 27 years, some of them very high ranking..

    I don't subscribe to the Clintonian method of redifining words like "is" or what is actually "sex" to suit the moment..

    Not a big fan of racism myself, but cultural references don't really qualify in my book. Some semites wear towels around their heads, true. Some hindis do too. Some of each don't.

    After all these years of conservatives being called racists for daring to criticize Obama's policies or saying the word "golf" you would ask that question?

    Hello again, Steve:

    So, you can't distinguish between golf and racism either... Figures..

    excon

    PS> Ok, I've got a minute... Again, this calls for some DISTINCTIONS... Golf is not the issue. Being called LAZY is. Romney spokesperson, Sununu flat out called him LAZY. You may not know that black people have been accused of being shiftless and LAZY for as long as they've been around... To equate black people to laziness is racism personified...

    Now, I don't know the particular circumstance you're speaking about, but if I called you a racist, it had NOTHING to do with golf.

    I know the difference between real racism and manufactured bullsh*t, which comprises the vast majority of liberal charges of racism AND everything this administration has said on the Benghazi attack. .

    This is the perfect example of liberal racism. Calling an individual on a perceived character flaw is somehow transmogrified into insulting a group simply because the individual is tangentially related to that group. Isn't that the EXACT process used to build stereotypes?

    Whether Mr. Obama is lazy or is just enjoying the perks of his office is kind of beside the point, now that pointing out that he takes a lot of time off is called racism.

    To bring this discussion home.. . On the night of 9-11-12 ;while American embassies around the ummah were under siege (some ended with flying al Qaeda flags before the day was through) ;and an American ambassador was being assassinated by a jihadist attack ;the situtation room of the White House was unoccupied . WE know for a fact that the President of the United States ;the Commander in Chief ,the Chief Executive of the United States took a total of ONE phone call on the crisis ,and then headed off to bed while the crisis was on-going .
    I'll leave it to others to assign motives ;but that was the way it was on the night of 9-11-12 .

    And the left went after Bush on 9/11 when he finished what he was doing the next roughly 14 minutes with the children he was with... to not scare them.

    He didn't blow it off and go to bed.

    Never mind this was before we figured out it wasn't an accident. Unlike Benghazi where they knew immediately... Hell, I knew it had nothing to do with a you-tube video in a land most people don't have running water much less internet access to see it.

    Bush did a really good job protecting you didn't he? 3,000 dead americans later... I suspect people may have had an issue with that. Can you blame them?

    I see you are still walking and breathing.

    Nobody protected me... I am still breathing ONLY because I was tired, hungry and crany that morning and didn't want to hang around like my Customers were asking me to, so their shift relief would know everything I knew.

    Of course a cold hearted Lefty like you wouldn't give a damn that both of them died not long after I left...

    Their names are engraved on the Memorial at the site along with many others.. I didn't know how many others that were there that night died... I only remembered or knew the names of two of them.

    Nothing you wrote has any bearing on what I wrote yet you quoted me. It's like you have an on-going monologue regardless on the topic.
