Usually the EC posts rants or histroy lessons pertaining to current news and/or politics. From time to time a few other things will be thrown in. Later today I will be sharing about meeting Ann Coulter and Mike Gallagher on Saturday night, but for right now- here are some random thoughts on today's news and issues.
Bush: ‘If it’s About Christianity vs. Islam, We’ll Lose’
I gotta tell you- The President is right...
First let me explain what the President actually said..(I know- I was not in the room, and Mike was, but trust me, I was there Saturday night, and I heard the ENTIRE Quote)-
Bush said that we can't make this about Christianity vs Islam, because if it is about Christianity vs Isalm, we will lose.
What is the difference?
It is minor, but what Bush is saying is that if WE, I repeat, IF WE, make it about this, we will lose.
We all know that to the radical Muslims, it is a "holy war" - it is a jihad; to them it is about one religion must rule the globe- THEIRS!
WE must keep this about Freedom, about FREEDOM FOR ALL RELIGIONS. WE must stay focused on FREEDOM, not Christianity is better/truer/more peaceful/the only religion (etc) than Islam.....
The sad thing is that WE have already dropped the ball on this. Right now- any marine, sailor, etc can take the name of Christ in vain, use His name as a swear word, boldly and loudly, etc- this is Free Speech and Christians "offended" by this can just go pound sand....but if the name of Jesus is said out loud in prayer- suddenly you can find yourself in a courtroom...
At the same time- the rules pertaining to the usage of Allah and Mohammed are the opposite! Say the names in honor- you're fine.....but draw a cartoon, or mention the WAY ISLAM is spread, and well......we get calls for assassination, nuns shot, and churches burned.....
President Bush NAILED IT- but you won't hear people debating the truth of it in context--- you will only see the phrase used for ratings and Bush bashing.....and as a tool to try and drive a wedge between our President and his Christian Base......
Senate set to consider fence bill
The Senate has LOST all credibility with me. These self-centered elitists are more committed to their political careers than America and Freedom.
In fact, I think they are almost as dedicated to their careers and the preservation of the false image of the Clintonista Era as the terrorists are dedicated to wiping out Israel........
that kind of dedication tends to get a LOT of INNOCENT PEOPLE KILLED!
The Senate is a corrupt group of commie fascists.....
They put out the 9/11 Commission report writ with scandal and lies. They put our a report on Al Queida (everywhere else on the GLOBE, but-) not in Iraq- another LIE! And now they actively seek every available opportunity to cripple our ability to defend ourselves- weather it be about the 2nd ammendment, securing our borders, protecting the agents charged with keeping us safe with some GUIDLINES and CLARITY on treatment of high level terrorists, or the ability of these same agents to listen to terrorists calling their pals in our own country- the Senate is more of a danger than a help.
I fear Americans ar too busy worrying about stock options and video games to throw a TEA PARTY!
And to all those tin foil hat conspiracy Liberal Freaks claiming the meeting with President Bush with talk show hosts was about receiving "marching orders" from the President- GET REAL!
A private- "off the record" meeting doesn't even come close to Congressiona letters with threats, or letters from attorneys to a major television network for having the audacity to put out a movie that does not give shelter to the LIES and perversions of the 9/11 Commissions official gov't report. Try, just TRY, to practice a LITTLE bit of brain power and logic.
