American journalist RALPH PETERS paid attention to Obama's Cairo speech and this is what he heard:
(1) There is no more terrorism. Wow, cool! It's unclear which side won, but it's all over. Obama didn't mention terrorism a single time. Only a few "violent extremists" (our own troops?) remain at large.
(2) America tortured. No regime in the Middle East tortures anybody, ever. Our bad.
(3) Since "Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance" and there are "over 1,200 mosques within our borders," I can't wait for the first Baptist hymn-sing in Riyadh. And stoning converts who leave Islam to death is a no-no, right?
(4) "Islam has always been a part of America's story." Guess the Founding Fathers missed that one. But I'm assured that George Washington turned to his mullah in the dark days at Valley Forge and that al Qaeda stood by us at the Alamo.
(5) Aren't those pesky Jews ever going to go away? Yes, denying the Holocaust is "hateful." But let's get a grip. Palestinians "endure . . . daily humiliations." Their lot's "intolerable." Israel "devastates Palestinian families." No wonder our president shunned wicked Israel during his trip - sending a clear, if unspoken, message that Jews are now fair game.
(6) Iran can have nukes. Our president's acceptance of "peaceful nuclear power" for Tehran was coded language for "no pre-emptive military action." Obama made America the guilty party, as if, on 9/11, crazed Presbyterians had attacked Mecca.
Aleikum salaam!

You said it. We did it, we fix it.

One down, 330 million to go.
"Islam has always been a part of America's story."
Islam actually was relevant just about from the beginning ... but not in any good way:
Muslims at the beginning of the United States.
The US is, in a thousand ways, becoming weaker and more pathetic by the day. This is a truly disgusting spectacle, and we will all pay a huge price for this. You can see it erupting all over now: North Korea, the Middle East, General Motors, Wall Street, Russia, "Great" Britain, Pakistan, Venezuela,the deficit, and on and on.

General Motors has been dying since the 1950's.
Since around that time if not during WW2 the feds and the Left have been milking that company to feed their agendas.
FDR encouraged Blacks to seek work in the Northern war factories, and he signed an executive order binding all federal to treat negro workers equally. Also, Roosevelt used the war as an excuse to unionize GM's plants. After the war Eisenhower stupidly let an antitrust case go through that forced DuPont to sell GM, which marked the beginning of the end for the company. Since then the company has been in the forefront of corporate idiocy including AA, giving the unions suicidal raises, and moving to front wheel drive.

The Roman Empire declined five or more centuries. The Eastern Empire lasted a millenium. America is very large and very strong, it will outlast our grandchildren.
Unfortunately, I am not so optimistic about the prospects for the USA. The people who built it are no longer in charge, and given the seismic demographic shifts, may never be in charge again. The US is technically bankrupt, and this was true even before they destroyed their own financial system in an orgy of greed and short-termism. The forces of Political Correctness, and various forms of fundamentalism are in a tight race to see who completely loses touch with reality first. The dominant religion, in fact, has become media sensationalism, with its coterie of pointless and vacuous left wing "celebrities". Any seriousness that emerges in the public square usually involves attempts to extort money out of decent people for a variety of insoluble problems ("Africa", HIV,trades unions etc), created by someone else. The impressionable university elite is subject to intense brainwashing by the academe, whose main objective seems to involve denigrating Western Civilisation by any and all means possible.
Where will the strength come from?
The apologetic BHO and his anti-American friends?

The people who built the US finally ceded control of the country in 1960. There have been a few bright spots since then, but otherwise they are out.
