Why did Obama compare Crusades to Islamic State at prayer breakfast?

[MyLittlePony 340]

Obama is the worst Muslim president in the history.

[LibCampFireClub 635]

Obama is the worst Muslim president in the history.

Worst and first.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

That should say some atheists at the constitutional convention.

Name one.

[MyLittlePony 340]

Lots of Toyota Prius owners love Obama the Muslim.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

None. Congress made that line up in 1954. Congress is full of BS now. They were full of BS then. Some things don't change.

The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics

By Francis Scott Key 1814

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,

In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:

'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,

A home and a country should leave us no more!

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war's desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

i think of it this way. Banal Barry refuses to work with most Republicans, and since there's a majority in both Houses, he's gonna take each opportunity to shovel sh|t into their ears. This was just another venue, another day, in which he could so do.

or, alternatively, my alternative opinion is that BB's speech writer is a tardo.

That is the only logical explanation, but since several in here agree with him then that makes them ??? Also ?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Perhaps someone should say exactly what they feel is wrong with the statement.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

What about the witch hunts in the U.S.? In who's name were those conducted in?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Again when George Bush said that god told him to invade Iraq did noone else find that objectionable?

[GandD 5,966]

What about the witch hunts in the U.S.? In who's name were those conducted in?

That's like three people.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

That's like three people.

The obvious point to ask is what the difference is between Christians in 1692 and the present day.

Back then Christianity was a political movement much as Islam is in IS today.
