Christians in the United States have become used to being the subject of insults. For example in 2004 there was a move called: Saved! Following is a description of that film:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saved!
Although “Saved!” was unique in that it was totally dedicated to slamming Christianity, Hollywood has been insulting Christians for decades. Bill Maher has made an entire career out of insulting Christians. The liberal left instantly tells any Christian who dares complain to take a chill pill.
Yet if someone says anything negative about Islam, they are immediately rebuked by the liberal left. Suddenly free speech isn’t free if it insults someone’s religious beliefs. That is, unless the person is a Christian. It is always ok to insult Christians.
Both President Obama and Hillary Clinton went out of their way to rebuke the inflammatory film that allegedly filled so many people with rage. In some ways this is laughable, because no one can even identify the exact film in question. Apparently all the excitement is about a 13 minute trailer for a film that may or may not exist.
Our current foreign policy is nothing more than rewarding people for bad behavior. The Muslim world routinely erupts in violence at the hint of an insult to Islam. The Obama administration responds by focusing more on the alleged insult than the violent reaction. The angrier they get, the louder the apology. In Egypt, we apologized before the protestors had time to organize. If this was intended to calm things down, it obviously didn’t work.
For several years the United States has had an official policy of refusing to negotiate with kidnappers. This is because we know that if you reward kidnappers by giving them what they want, you just end up with more kidnappers. Rewarding people for bad behavior always encourages more bad behavior. President Obama did not create the outrage in the Arab world, but his policies have encouraged it.
When Mitt Romney released his statement on Tuesday, it was more than two hours after the attack in Libya and more than 8 hours after the intrusion into our embassy in Egypt. Yet, as of the time he spoke, there was no official US statement from either the White House or the State Department. The only thing resembling an official response was those idiotic tweets from the Cairo Embassy.
Today President Obama threw the Cairo Embassy staff members under the bus pretending that it was they who made the mistake. He forgave them because they were under stress. No one at CNN thought to ask the WH why, if it didn’t consider those statements to be a problem, was it working so hard to walk them back?
CNN is continuing to pretend that it was Romney who made a huge mistake. Romney, to his credit, is not backing down. Ultimately the truth will come out and that will help Romney. There are riots at our embassies all over the world and the scenes are more than disturbing. Obama’s foreign policy is in shambles and the fruits of his labors are highly visible on the nightly news no matter how they spin it.

All the news “Spinners” of late are theorizing that this country is on a downward slide to becoming a 3rd rat nation in about two years. I hate to say it, but as a freedom-loving American, I feel that the current state of the country has already left public control. We have already lost faith in the media and as of today, have lost another major part of our right to free speech. Our embassies are being attacked all over the middle east and what do we do? The president points fingers. We are militarily impotent thanks to Obama and Clinton, and a big chunk of the Democratic Congress who no longer represent the lazy-ass “silent majority”. Peculiar thing is if the US is still 84% Christian, how do the Democratic Christians justify their actions and or non-action?
Glad to see any not give in to main stream medias calls for apologiezs or correction. Yep I said it and I mean it, this country needs more of that honesty!
