The Audacity of Dope

Comments in parenthesis are my own...

"We must all recognize and respect the sensitivities (so why don't you)…9/11 attacks were deeply traumatic…the pain and experience of suffering (emotionless)...ground zero is indeed hallowed ground…let me be clear (my favorite phrase of all time)…as a citizen (still waiting for some proof of that)…and as president (don't know what we were smoking)…this is America…our commitment to religious freedom…blah blah blah."

I suppose all that sounds really keen unless you have a frontal lobe.  I too believe strongly in the freedom of religious liberty even if the practice of a particular religion is not in agreement with my own.  Yes, this is America.  And Muslims do have the right to their own religious beliefs, misguided as they are.

For the president who wants to know "whose ass to kick", he certainly doesn't kick much ass at all does he?  I think he must have meant "whose ass to kiss" and he just had a little phlegm or something.  A real president would have used his indignant self-righteous tone for something other than giving consent to all the values that Americans don't share with him in an effort to bring about some sort of zombiotic global community.

No, a president with a backbone would have told the Muslim community that building a mosque in the shadow of ground zero, while arguably legal, is in very poor taste.  Frankly, I'm wondering if our president is a Mohammedan himself, so it's hard for me not to be a little bit of a skeptic from that angle.  But whether he is a Muslim or just a self proclaimed Christian with one wing, the left one, I believe he is wrong to proclaim religious liberty without cognizance of propriety and without asking why the Muslim community can't build somewhere else.  Really…why can't they?

Mr. President, where does someone learn to speak with dignity and complete confidence in a shallow, amoral, prepubescent philosophy?  Harvard?  Columbia?  I think you deserve your money back and a shredder for your diplomas.  The best thing you could do is care more about America than you do your own fascist-leaning legacy.  "Yes we can" has kind of lost its muster, hasn't it?  Sounds more like the slogan of a wishful thinker rather than a strong and honorable leader.  Yes we can, huh?  Yes, we, the people, can.  We always could.  One nation under God.  You and your bureaucrats…not so much.
