Obama AGAIN apololizing for our freedoms!

Your analogy is flawed. Yelling "Fire" in a movie theater is illegal because it takes into account the response and reaction of the reasonably prudent man. It is reasonable for people to try to get out of a movie theater that is on fire. That is self-preservation. Yelling "Fire" is not an insult to the moviegoers, it is an attempt to create a situation that endangers their lives. Insulting Mohammed does not endanger the life of Mohammed, nor any of his followers. You are insulting all Muslims yourself by saying they are uncivilized people with no self-control who can't help themselves, they have to riot and kill if you insult their religion. Either that, or you're scared. I notice that you post in religion now and again and have called many religions corrupt and strenuously disagreed with the tenets of Christianity at times. But you don't feel that it's wrong to disrespect the beliefs of Christians. I can only assume it's because you don't fear they will kill you if you do. The movie was dumb, but it's not wrong. It's free speech. Free speech allows people to burn the US Flag and the Bible and to tell Christians that their God doesn't exist and all sorts of other things. All of those are disrespectful to someone, the difference is that no one is afraid of violence if they express those opinions. Blaming Americans for exercising free speech is cowardly. You intimate that someone has suggested we go to war. No one has, but we don't have to go to war. They are already at war with us. We were not in Afghanistan prior to September 11,2001 and that act of war was not in retaliation for a movie, but it was rooted in their hatred of our freedoms.

What the hell? Ugh... this is why I stopped posting in the politics sections. You people tend to read and twist things to somehow work in your minds. There is nothing wrong with apologizing to the people who were not involved for a terrible movie that depicted their religion horribly. Is there no one with common sense and decency left in this country?! I am not condoning the violence done by a few and it isn't our country. Punishing people responsible is all this country should be doing NOT everyone over there JUST the people responsible. Link the video if there is a full length non-media cut video that you can find. It also can not be from Fox News. No one is giving up their rights because they apologized. As for Constitutional Rights we give those up every time we elect idiots to Congress. I am not giving up any rights. I just believe it was a good call to apologize rather than put the country in more debt with more war. Sorry if common sense and decency is lost on you people.

Also nearly anything is legal here if you have enough money, power, and connections to back you. Is that wrong? Very much so. Will it ever change? Not likely. So if a group of Christians decided to kill someone, they could probably use the power of the church, any donation money for a good lawyer, and people like you to tell them that their actions were completely justified. One thing I didn't hear you disagree with, is that it was wrong for those Christians to attack me. I know every Christian isn't psychotic, but alas most of the fanatics are. However, by seemingly condoning violence by Christians and hating violence by another group... it is plainly and simply hypocritical.

so you believe that Obama should run around appeasing terrorists?

How's he appeasing terrorists? He is just doing damage control because ignorant people use their brawn instead of their brain. Which is putting many of are troops in harms way. Do you really think all this tough talk that Fox News and many of are leaders who never served in the military actually helps these situations? Its easy for people over here to sit in their luxurious life instigating crap, when 1 percent of the population is doing all the protecting, so idiots can make stupid comments about stuff they do not know what they are talking about. Putting the people who are making the true sacrifices for their country in more danger. That sh!t needs to stop!!!

I understand your point but we do still have that freedom. The men and women overseas protecting us, God Bless them, are trying to help these countries. These attacks have nothing to do with this stupid movie. It is about terrorism. It is about the Muslim brotherhood and their desire to take over the Middle East. It is about this group not wanting us in there to spread democracy. It is about control in the name of their messiah. So when I say Obama is trying to appease terrorists, that is exactly what he is doing.

Very well said. The apologists are afraid. What they don't realize is that they make the enemy stronger by that fear.

Do you not think Israel should be an ally? Do you agree that they should be "wiped out"

hhm I will think on that. On its surface, I am not sure I agree. But I will put thought into it.

You have to remember, Islam, the name itself, means submission. They have no concept of Freedom. And especially from the president, any attempt to 'educate them on freedom of speech" would simply be viewed as an attempt to justify attacking their faith. I would suggest the best possible wait to talk to Islamists about freedom, would have to come from the ground up. Person to person, people to people. It can't come from the top, because the Islamic faith teaches that non-believers will try to enforce themselves on Islamists. Obama going over and preaching at them about free speech, would merely justify their views in their own minds. It's got to come from ground up mission trips, and I'd suggest even more so, from Westernized people from the Middle east, which can show those in the Middle east the value of freedom. Our leadership should at best, say only what is minimally required to defuse any potential issue, and otherwise stay out of it. So, as odd as it sounds, I think Obama did what he had to do, and there really wasn't a better option.

Pretty scary looking into our future. I watched Obamas America 2016 this morning,. Very disturbing.

I agree. Our foreign policy just seems to get worse and worse. This jeopardizes our safety. Attacking our embassies are a direct attack on our country.
