I am in a good mood today. Why on earth would I want to ruin it by reading the anti-american words of a man I find wholly despicable?

I am sure he apologized for us again.

It amuses me that his speech pretty much summarized what I have been telling all of you for weeks now. Truth hurts? assalam alaykum

Thanks for posting this. I'll print it out and have it bound in my Bible as an additional epistle.

Make sure you have it bound into the front instead of the back...

I thought it was a very good speech. The President made it clear that he will defend this country, as his first priority, against violent extremists. He also reached out to peaceful Muslims and admitted our mistakes in Iraq. Most importantly, I thought he conveyed a humbleness that will hopefully ease tensions with that part of the world.

The quote from Thomas Jefferson was right on the money, IMO. "I hope that our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be."

Truthfully, it doesn't matter what President Obama does or says, there will be a group who detest everything he does, even if it benefits the country and the world.

Which naturally makes us the "bad guys". You see "good" is a matter of perspective. For some the United States becoming a socialist republic is "good". the world certainly thinks so since that leads to a US that is more compatible with france and etc. They like that because it gives them more ability to intrude in our business.

Some people domestically like it because socialization lowers the bar by taking from one group of people to provide for another group of people.

I am a believer in a constitutional republic where individual freedom is sacred, personal property is just that, personal and untouchable by the government and everyone pulls their own weight. Which is, BTW, how this great nation started out.

So naturally, as a believer in individual liberty and responsibility any move towards socialism and bigger, more pervasive government is detestable. Since that is his stated agenda, yes, I find his every act and word despicable.

So, you see "good" in this case is just a matter of how you see it.

Thus I wear this particular bad guy mantle with pride and joy.
