Blinded by love....

Obama is by far the brightest person we have had in the white house for a very long time. How will the right wing compete?

We had an election, and the best man won.

Murphy's Law

I'd feel better if he quoted from Murphy's Law as opposed to the Koran. Because if things don't change more quickly, Murphy's Law is going to be very applicable all over the country.

When Obama made his long-awaited speech to the Muslim world on June 4, he was excruciatingly careful to demonize those Muslims he termed "violent extremists" and praise other practitioners of Islam. While the distinction is accurate, it is hardly insightful. While declaring Islam itself evil leads to a strategic cul de sac (what is the strategy once we declare one third of humanity our enemy); Obama's chosen path is equally dangerous. It allows the Muslim world to go on blaming their problems on "imperialism," "exploitation," or more innocuously poverty, and ratifies the consistently disastrous policy of letting those who cheer the terrorists' actions and provide them with ideological cover avoid responsibility. It lets them and the "violent extremists" off the hook in the name of political correctness.

Those same people have been engaged in a deliberate program of ethnic cleansing against Bangladesh's Hindus. Hindus were almost one in five Bangladeshis when the nation broke from Pakistan in 1971. Today, after decades of murder, rape, and forced conversion, they are less than one in ten. Using demographic models and other data, Professor Sachi Dastidar of the State University of New York, Old Westbury, estimates that 49 million Hindus are "missing" from the Bangladeshi population; that is more people than most nations have.

This is but one example of a long list

That is the danger in Obama's Cairo University speech and his policy of "outreach" to the Muslim world. Peace is nice; frank discussions are needed. But refusing to demand equal soul searching on the part of those who are in reality radical Islam's lifeline will produce neither and insure that his speeches will keep peace at a distance and create more victims.

Not meant as an insult, just an observation.

I was trying to be nice by saying Liberal, instead of Socialist.
If you read through Spence's comments throughout this board, you can easily see he believes in more government control, he would enjoy having government health care, he would welcome more government control to "improve" local school, he would more than likely support salary caps for all, not just those under the bailout, he would support increased gun control. On almost every issue he does indeed appear to be a liberal, the only issue he may stray on is abortion (I feel he may agree with me on that, case by case, depending on risk to mother and other considerations like rape).

I enjoy reading some of his posts and do "read" them all and he does align himself with liberal beliefs.
