		<description>&lt;I&gt;As for religion requiring the brutal murder of innocent people, are you talking about crusades, pogroms, or Inquisition?&lt;/I&gt;

All of the above, INCLUDING Terrorism...

Funny thing, though...

Of the Crusades, Pogroms, Inquisitions and Terrorism, only ONE is still with us in the here and now..  The other 3 are ancient history committed by savages.

Three of those practices are no longer amongst civilized people..

I&#039;ll leave you to figure out which is which..  :D

		<description>Is the right so stupid that they don&#039;t understand the difference between criticizing our country and being against our country, or are they just lying again?  And don&#039;t they have any better talking points for you to push?

There is an inherent right to freedom of religion, and its protection is guaranteed in our Constitution.  There is no right not to be ridiculed.

There are perhaps half a dozen districts where a Muslim has a chance of being elected to Congress, and maybe two where an atheist could be elected.  There are about 350 districts where no one but a professed Christian can possibly be elected.  There are no states where a Muslim or atheist could be elected US senator.  There is no chance whatsoever that any atheist or Muslim will be elected president in the next forty years.  All this is so, despite the Constitution saying that no religious test shall be required for any public office.  Our supposed right to full political participation is simply not there.  That&#039;s just a reality.  Your party is well ahead of mine in creating and perpetuating that reality.

There is no parity between that reality and the scorn of 0.03% of the population, that Tebow &quot;suffers&quot; for being a hypocrite (Christ&#039;s description of it, not mine) and making a fool of himself.</description>

		<description>It, somehow, escapes me..

Which &quot;principle&quot; comes into play whereas the Left constantly ridicules the religious beliefs of their fellow Americans but immediately jumps to the defense of people whose religion all but requires the brutal murder of innocent people...

I&#039;m just sayin&#039;....

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Because the left actually has principles, instead of being toadies of whoever&#039;s got the upper hand.&lt;/I&gt;

Always being against one&#039;s own country doesn&#039;t sound like &quot;principles&quot; to me...

Seems more of a bit of self-loathing....

		<description>CW,

&lt;I&gt;When American soldiers do stupid and disrespectful things, American presidents apologize, because doing so saves American soldiers&#039; lives. Plain and simple.&lt;/I&gt;

I would consider my way of thinking to be the norm amongst the military...

And I have to say, if I was in a foxhole in Afghanistan I would say to my buddies, &quot;Ya know..  I wish our CnC would show a tenth of the deference and respect to us grunts as he seems to show to the people trying to kill us..&quot;

I would wager that, if you were able to poll the troops in the field, you would find that THAT is the prevailing sentiment..

Look at the facts of the current apology tour...  Within hours of Obama apologizing, an Afghani soldier opens up on American troops, killing 2 and wounding 4...

Within a day of Obama prostration, the bloodiest day of the protests occurs...

It seems to me (and the facts bear this out) that seeing America prostrate itself to Muslims seems to make matters WORSE, not better...

Maybe we should do a little less apologizing and a little more helping these savages join 21st century civilization...

Religion of peace, me arse....

		<description>&lt;I&gt;FTFY&lt;/I&gt;

No, you fixed it for YOU...

It has nothing to do with how *I* feel...

But, since you bring it up....  Why is it that the Left seems to always support things that are perceived as Anti-American??

The Left denigrates religious freedom at every opportunity, unless we&#039;re talking about the religious freedom of people who kill Americans...

Why is that??

		<description>By apologizing, Obama is validating the concerns of the Muslims **as they are addressed**...

In other words, Obama condones the brutal murder of innocent people by apologizing to these savages...

The savage Muslims see America apologizing and that makes them secure in the knowledge that there savage response to the transgression is justified...

		<description>Michale -

Sorry for the broken link (and I believe I should have said &quot;Iraq&quot;, too).

They&#039;re easy to find.  Just Google &quot;Bush apologized&quot; and &quot;Quran&quot; or &quot;Koran&quot;...

When American soldiers do stupid and disrespectful things, American presidents apologize, because doing so saves American soldiers&#039; lives.  Plain and simple.  At least, seen through non-Obama-Derangement-Syndrome eyes...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Demanding an apology is for weaklings. &lt;/I&gt;

No... Always apologizing is for weaklings...

&lt;I&gt;People get over-sensitive to perceived humiliation when their real position borders on humiliating. &lt;/I&gt;

I am not talking about humiliation..

I am talking about killing Americans...

&lt;I&gt;Neither is a good image for the US to project.&lt;/I&gt;

Neither is the excessive groveling from our Groveler In Chief...

&lt;I&gt;If he can be &quot;overwhelmed&quot; by scorn from the 0.03% of the population that&#039;s both atheist and concerned enough about football to matter, then his convictions aren&#039;t all they&#039;re cracked up to be.&lt;/I&gt;

I doubt he cares...  He has more integrity in his pinky toe than all the Left combined..

*I*, on the other hand, get pissed off that a fellow American is subjected to such ridicule, while a the religious freedom of the people who KILL Americans is upheld to the fullest by those same people who trash a fellow American...

If he can be &quot;overwhelmed&quot; by scorn from the 0.03% of the population that&#039;s both atheist and concerned enough about football to matter, then his convictions aren&#039;t all they&#039;re cracked up to be.</description>

		<description>Demanding an apology is for weaklings.  People get over-sensitive to perceived humiliation when their real position borders on humiliating.  If the most powerful person or group gets easily-offended like that, there are two possibilities: they aren&#039;t really as powerful as they&#039;re made out to be, or they&#039;re just being a bully because of something wrong with them.  Neither is a good image for the US to project.</description>

		<description>Rather ironic, isn&#039;t it....

Obama bends over backwards apologizing to a religion where millions of innocent people have been killed in it&#039;s name...

Yet totally ignores the religious freedom of fellow Americans in imposing measures that their religion strictly forbids....

Sometimes I really have to wonder whose side Obama is on??  

Besides his own, that is...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;If Tebow had been willing to give up millions of dollars in endorsements to express his religious affiliation, &lt;/I&gt;

Assumes facts not in evidence..

&lt;I&gt;I would have at least given him credit for having the courage of his convictions.&lt;/I&gt;

He deserves the credit for sticking to his convictions despite overwhelming scorn from a group of people that would rather support religious freedom by a religion that allows the wholesale and brutal murder of innocent men, women and children..

		<description>Meanwhile, in International News...

I see that Muslims have again decided to show the world how &quot;loving&quot; and &quot;peaceful&quot; their religion is...

And, of course, our Apologizer In Chief couldn&#039;t start apologizing fast enough...

Tim Tebow really messed up.  If he would have bowed towards Mecca and praised Allah instead of going to a knee and thanking Christ, he would have had all of the Left up to AND including the POTUS on his side, instead of being ridiculed by the Left...

{{ssssiiiigggggghhhhhhh}}

Very true...

		<description>The problem for Republicans isn&#039;t the schedule, or the fact that candidates are attacking each other.  Candidates always attack each other in contested primaries.  The problem is the lack of enthusiasm for their options.  Democrats 08 didn&#039;t have the flavor-of-the-week cycle.</description>

		<description>This is really interesting. I was vaguely aware of some of this but didn&#039;t have the big picture.

Context is everything. In 2008, both Obama and Hillary were first timers running for Pres. while these 4 final repubs tee up every 4 years. And a number of other dynamics were entirely different as well. I guess successful &quot;strategery&quot; is harder than it looks!</description>

		<description>I think the term &quot;Watch Out&quot; might apply to Democrats...

Because it was such a tactic that was directly responsible for the Democrat win in 2008...

So, it might be Democrats turn to &quot;watch out&quot; come November.....  :D
