Dan Rather, famous defunct CBS Newsman, once made the comment that defined his life and gave courage to us all. While it has been much re-quoted, do you know where it came from? His imperious words ring down to this very day with new meaning and promise, as we attempt to fathom what motivates President Obama…

June 1, 1983, Wednesday Late City Final Edition, NY Times
Dan Rather defended the accusations linking a doctor to an insurance-fraud scheme in a controversial segment of ”60 Minutes,” testifying today in a slander suit against CBS. He noted that…

”If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you’ve got a duck.”

Hear hear Mr. Rather! We couldn’t agree more! Hear hear! Harrumph!

My friends. Do you recall that when Rush Limbaugh made his famous statement that he “Hoped Obama fails,” he brought down the very fires of hell upon himself from a wrathful press. Do you recall that even you were shocked?

I was shocked, and that’s saying something. But just like you, I got over it quickly. Now, the validity of  those words delivered by Mr. Rush On Facebook himself is beyond question.

We all hoped he would fail, even as we have watched him succeed beyond the wildest imaginings of Lucifer on his throne.

Also, do you recall that when some questioned Mr. Obama’s religious preferences, they were castigated and threatened with immediate expulsion from the very human race?

Looking back, do you have a sense that our favorite talkers made much of an issue about Obama and his Muslim tendencies? The answer is no. It was downplayed, ignored, or downright dismissed by everyone with a microphone. And for good reason too. To even hint that Obama has Muslim longings was and still is seen as being somehow bad flavor.

I have never addressed this issue myself. It’s something we all see, but shy away from. In the end, what difference does it make, we think to ourselves.

Friends, may I call you a friend? President Obama’s outreach to the Muslin community is unprecedented. It is so unprecedented that it curdles the imagination.

And you know, it might not be so bad, if he hadn’t shown his butt to Israel at the same time. When you put this together, something stinks.

Quoth Obama’s teleprompter, Friday night on 13th of August, “Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground,” Obama said at a White House dinner celebrating the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. “But let me be clear: as a citizen and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.”

These words he spoke at the well known Iftar celebration at the White House…

According to the NY Times, “In hosting the iftar, Mr. Obama was following a White House tradition that, while sporadic, dates to Thomas Jefferson, who held a sunset dinner for the first Muslim ambassador to the United States. President George W. Bush hosted iftars annually.”

Well ding dong! Much good Mr. Jefferson’s manners and charity did. Much of the Muslim world hates our guts!

Where did those sillys at the NY Times dig that up? Sounds a little iffy to me, not to besmirch the excellent reportage of the NY Times. Someone needs to check up on this, Mr. Glenn Beck.

Let me be very clear here. To Americans, this is not a religious issue. Americans have spent untold amounts of treasure and thousands of lives fighting for the rights of Muslims around the world. To volunteer to go, risking the possibility to die for strangers in a strange land says a lot about Americans.

More, many courageous men and women, who just happen to be Muslim have risked, and lost their lives in one way or the other here and abroad in the fight against radicalism. Because of the nature of the fight, we’ll never know their names or their stories.

Indeed, the protection and defense of the homeland could not be successfully waged without the help and cooperation of courageous American Muslims willing to come forward with vital information, because they believe it is the right and just thing to do.

The issue is NOT religion. Americans simply don’t think that way. The issue is the handling of the whole issue. America should tell the story, at every opportunity, of how we have helped Muslims. President Obama should tell the story of sacrifice of the American nation for beleaguered peoples worldwide, and done it with no expectation of reward. Americans are defenders…not conquerors.

Frankly, given a choice, American soldiers would rather be sent “over there” to throw candy instead of hand grenades. If a third choice were available, they would even more wish to just stay home.

Instead, we have a PC guilt trip put on us by our own government, as if we have been bad. The whole situation is upside down.

When the majority of people in New York don’t, quite understandably, want a Mosque being built in the shadow of the remains of the World Trade Center, the polite thing to do would be to say Ok, and move it on down the street with only thanks and praise from Americans. But that’s not what’s going to happen. It’s going to fought by people with political agendas and made to look like another case of American religious and racial intolerance. And it will have international, detrimental, and possibly deadly implications.

Regardless, if Obama is our first Muslim president, defined by his deeds, rather than his oath, he should step forward and declare it.

You know, there are some Christians and Jews who are Christians and Jews, but don’t have it stamped on their ID card. Yet, if asked, they’ll happily tell you that they are a Christian, or a Jew, or a Catholic. You don’t have to be a card carrying religionist to be one, you know.

Just fess up. We won’t think any less of you than we already do. Promise!

In summation, Obama’s faith choices aren’t important. However, his actions, dictated by his belief system is important, when it serves to the detriment of the nation. When you overlay his fascination with all things Middle East and Muslim on your view of the man, many of his whimsical dictates become very clear indeed. See, Muslim On The Moon.
