Because only the cluless masses

that aren't really following what's happening are the ones he's playing to...and the News Media is making sure of it the best they can.

in step with

a blog I just wrote. The MSM I think really did ask Obama if he needed a pillow in one of the debates. It was an SNL skit? Are you sure? I could hardly tell the difference. America knew the bias and never questioned why the bias.

Actually

the real issue regarding our partnering with these countries is whether we want to work in a collaborative effort to meet common goals or do we want to exercise hegemony, to whatever extent, in the region.

Interesting how you and president Obama both have the same delusional view related to "partnering" with the Islamic World.

No wonder! You both believe that the U.S. Constitution "is not finished" document and needs "improvements".

How about getting another Amendment to the Constitution that would make all Muslims in the United States excluded from paying taxes, allow "honor killings" and "jihad with sword" to murder those who will not accept that Amendment.

That is the way to "improve" the Constitution that was written not just by "White Supremacists" as you and president Obama believe, but also Christians, or rather "no Muslims" Framers.

Boris

Are you overreacting? IMO, there is only one book that is complete--the Bible. And the Constitution doesn't rank anywhere near it.

The problem I see is that you equate criticism with rejection. Why?

And why not treat Muslims as equals? And if they are treated as equals, then they will pay taxes like everyone else.

Finally, as the Constitution was first written, it was a White Supremacy document. There were other issues addressed besides White supremacy, but that Whites were to rule over Blacks and Indians did not count is undeniable. Did amendments correct that? Yes. But we still need much more work to do before we can say that people live as full equals to all others.

To caday5

My reaction to your last post is natural: that is the way I react on your lack of common sense and distortion of facts.

You seem not to understand that it is not a matter of no-Muslims in the United States treating Muslims as no-equal.

Do you recall any case (except for criminal cases) when Muslims in America were deprived of Life, Liberty and Joy just because they were Muslims?

I do not.

The problem is that according to the Islamic Law that all Muslims with no exception consider as the Supreme Law of the Land they must not treat no-Muslims as equals.

Boris

My experience with Muslims is different that what you project them to be like.

And equality isn't mere life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as it is being treated the same under the law and not being deprived of those pursuits in any degree. The question becomes are we talking about Muslims here in ways that cause bigotry?

To caday5

I am sorry, but your last reply has not added anything to this discussion, but more of your confusion.

"Your experience with Muslims" and the reality of the Islamic Law as an embodiment of Muslim Supremacy may differ.

What amaze me is that you are so much against questionable White Supremacy in the Constitution, but you tolerate and even protect obvious Muslim Supremacy of the Islamic Law.

Be consistent, at least: any Supremacy is a wrong ideology.

Boris forgive Caday5

He wants to rewrite the ten comandments as he thinks they are too stringent. Besides, rules are only made to be followed by conservatives. If a liberal Marxist decides to cheat in an election and say goes back on his solemn word and on public campaign finance it's OK, but if a conservative does that he should be convicted of a crime! Oh, yeah, the media should ask that same cheater softball questions.
There you go Caday, I stuck up for you!

To Jim

Dear Jim,

Thank you for your "stuck up for" Caday5.

You are exceptionally kind.

I feel sorry for the guy.

He tries hard to put his confused message across, but he is certainly in a wrong place here.

Boris

You forget several things:

1. I am an American living here, not a person living in an Islamic State. I do know that for some living an Islamic, it can be very harsh. I also know that my gov't supports several Islamic dictatorships, like Saudi Arabia. It also provides much financial support for Egypt, which outside of the superficial elections is still a dictatorship.

2. I am an American and I am, in part, responsible for the actions of my country because I vote and I live in a democracy where I can speak out when my gov't is wrong.

3. At least the theonomy of an Islamic state is consistent. I definitely object to their human rights abuses and their totalitarianism. But I also object to the racism we have had in America especially when we claim to both believe in equality and promote Human rights. And right now, as evident on many TH boards, that racism is being directed against Arabs and bigotry is aimed at Muslims--the latter in particular.

Jim

defending while using put downs?

To caday5

Your statement that I forgot something is just a figure of speech.

1. "I am an American living here, not a person living in an Islamic State..."

This statement is off the topic.

2. "I am an American and I am, in part, responsible for the actions of my country..."

I appreciate your responsibility, but this is off the topic too.

3. "At least the theonomy of an Islamic state is consistent..."

This statement is a little more relevant to the topic, but we are not taking about “God’s law".

The topic of our discussion is your refusal to recognize Islamic Supremacy as a driving force of the Islamic Law.

Boris

I simply don't overgeneralize like you. And I look for context which you seem to neglect. My last response answered your question, just not the way you wanted it to.

To caday5

Your last reply confirms that you continue to insist on the U.S. Constitution being a product of White Supremacy, but categorically refuse to recognize Islamic Supremacy as a driving force of the Islamic Law.

Therefore, my "over generalized" conclusion is that you are with WRONG IDEOLOGIES and collaborate with enemies of the Nation.


Boris

While you say:

"Your last reply confirms that you continue to insist on the U.S. Constitution being a product of White Supremacy"

I have already said the following:

"Finally, as the Constitution was first written, it was a White Supremacy document. There were other issues addressed besides White supremacy, but that Whites were to rule over Blacks and Indians did not count is undeniable. Did amendments correct that? Yes. But we still need much more work to do before we can say that people live as full equals to all others."

In the meantime, while you insist that I have given Islamic states a free ride, I already said:

"I do know that for some living an Islamic, it can be very harsh. I also know that my gov't supports several Islamic dictatorships, like Saudi Arabia. It also provides much financial support for Egypt, which outside of the superficial elections is still a dictatorship."

The question is the source of that dictatorship. Christians would like to blame Islamic law, but not all Islamic states have dictatorships. And not all devout Muslims agree with those dictatorships. Have you ever asked why? No. You, as a non-Muslim, think you can interpret the Koran and say authoritatively what Muslims must believe. And that is done to smear them.
