In a recent interview with author Marilynne Robinson, President Obama made this remark about religion in America:

“In our democracy and our civic discourse, it seems as if folks who take religion the most seriously sometimes are also those who are suspicious of those not like them? You’ve struggled with the fact that here in the United States, sometimes Christian interpretation seems to posit an ‘us versus them,’ and those are sometimes the loudest voices.”

Well, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld had something to say about that. After airing out some of his frustrations, Gutfeld went on to say that the President’s condescending demeanor towards his opposers is what makes him a polarizing figure:

“Cloaked in compassion, he says that we are polarizing, unaware that it’s his smug perspective that polarizes most.

Using Fox News and Christians as a proxy for a nation that makes him wince, he’s a drone honed in the faculty lounge. His beliefs are not bugs in the system, they are the system.”

Kirsten Powers, a Fox News Contributor and liberal-leaning political pundit, also criticized Obama for his response to a shooting earlier this year:

“When three North Carolina Muslims were gunned down by a virulent atheist, Obama rightly spoke out against the horrifying killings. But he just can’t seem to find any passion for the mass persecution of Middle Eastern Christians or the eradication of Christianity from its birthplace.”

So Obama is making Christians act the victim with his smug perspective? Can I assume you are asking for more PC language now?

Yes the imbecile named Obama is a smug one.

 

[THE_DEVIL]

This is what it has came to for those on the right? The black man is not only uppity but smug too... the horror...the horror

 

[SweatPantsStiffy]

Care to refute what Obama said, or is this just another "hate the black man" gathering?

Great that two Christians discussing their religion can be interpreted as a persecution of Christians.

And btw- who is this Greg gutterfield person?

He's pretty funny

Barack Obams is a disgrace to his race......the human race.

His promise to bring America together was the biggest B.S.
He has done more to polarize the American people with
his hatred toward police officers than anyone else. When
Obama depends on Rev.Al Sharpton for his advice on racial
matters then you know America is in trouble.

It may be a "smug perspective" Ned.....Obama;s comments are something you probably disagree with. That's your privilege. However, I believe Obama is certainly more correct here than what you think.

Many of the "fundamentalist evangelicals" certainly are not tolerant of other's religious beliefs and are way overly protective of their own. In many ways, America's evangelicals are very parochial in their thought processes.
Ned, take a chance sometime.....I dare you to watch "The Universe" series on The History Channel. It shows another perspective on life, the earth and intelligence based on a scientific model not one based on superstition and vagueries.

No. He needs to stop being huge dick.

 

[IMCC965]

Nothing to do with him being black. It has everything to do with him being a prick.

 

[naturalmwa]

I see what's on your mind IMCC.

Obama has mental issues which I will go into on another post.

The world of psychiatry anxiously awaits, Ned.

IMMC...your historical perspective needs some work...It was Nixon who was the big Dick......However, your current historical perspective is hysterical. You and Ned are quite a one-two punch.

THat's a different chapter, natural.

The behavior of BHO for those who dare to disagree with him would be off putting no matter the color of the POTUS

Here's what I've found on this board repeatedly:

1) A hatred of evangelical Christians.
2) A belief that "all Christians" are evangelicals.

Many of us don't tell people about our beliefs, we simply try to live by them. You wouldn't know it if you talked to me in any normal social situation that I am Christian. So carry on, I guess.

this is the liberal perspective mainly, and iowa has a bunch of libs and this board does too

It's not living by them that upsets me...It is the always advertising the fact that this is how a Christian lives.......and these folks are a shallow and fake as the rest of us humans.

Now you know how non-radical muslims must feel I'm guessing.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Now you know how non-radical muslims must feel I'm guessing.

well, except there are very few non radical muslims around the earth and very few here, and they did not do 9-11, and most of it {terrorism} is made up by bush and Obama continues the lies, and al q and isis are a product of the usa, and Christians are real and the usa commies go after them for real, except for that

Bless you OiT, you can't even keep your own memes organized. I think thats all we need to know.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

I have been posting this exact thing for 50000+ posts, it does get tiring, but I never deviate from it

 

[naturalmwa]

I have been posting this exact thing for 50000+ posts, it does get tiring, but I never deviate from it

But there is an internal inconsistency. Radical muslims are defined by terrorism. You said muslims are mostly radical. Yet you think they mostly don't support terrorism. See the problem yet?

 

[ottumwan in tx]

the muslims are puppets of the usa, and the new world order, and the usa is part of the new world order, non radical or radical, muslims, warlords, fascists, whatever, take your pick, and they did not do 9-11, and bush made up lies about them, and Obama continues the lies

 

[naturalmwa]

Nope, you can't just put everyone in the same pot and say whatever. You have to sort it all out.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

no absolutely not, I said there are very few non radical muslims, I did not say they are mostly radical, see the difference? there are very few of anything except puppets of the new world order- plenty of those around, and I think terrorism is made up nonsense

 

[naturalmwa]

no absolutely not, I said there are very few non radical muslims, I did not say they are mostly radical, see the difference?

No, do you see a difference here?

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Nope, you can't just put everyone in the same pot and say whatever. You have to sort it all out.

ok, you are making up things I am saying, or not understanding what I'm saying

I know you cannot fathom bush and Obama being on the same team but it's true

 

[ottumwan in tx]

No, do you see a difference here?

yes absolutely, there are very few muslims, very few non radical muslims, and even fewer radical muslims. the radical muslims do not exist, they are a product of the mind of criminals, bush and Obama and dick cheney

they got us scared that there was some sort of muslim guy with a beard and thing on his head out to get us

bin laden was a minion of the usa and the new world order

isis and al q are a product of the usa

 

[naturalmwa]

ok, you are making up things I am saying, or not understanding what I'm saying

I know you cannot fathom bush and Obama being on the same team but it's true

I'm just pointing out you have no idea what you're talking about. Its kind of you to assist with that point.

 

[naturalmwa]

yes absolutely, there are very few muslims, very few non radical muslims, and even fewer radical muslims. the radical muslims do not exist, they are a product of the mind of criminals, bush and Obama and dick cheney

they got us scared that there was some sort of muslim guy with a beard and thing on his head out to get us

bin laden was a minion of the usa and the new world order

isis and al q are a product of the usa

There are a couple billion muslims, so again you don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Pepperman]

Hey Natural, aside from a few cherry-picked links, can you find me a lot of VOCAL non-radical muslims? They are as afraid of the crazies as many of us are.

So, no, I will disagree with you. It is not at all the same. Not even close.

When I google moderate muslims I get over a million links and that's not even searching Arabic sources. I think you're not listening. And for gods' sakes please don't make me defend Islam, I'm not a huge fan.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

and even fewer terrorists, if not -hardly any at all, most of the terrorists are cia trained ghosts or operatives

Charlie Wilson's war, we funded them

bin laden, we funded him

we find weapons of mass destruction in Syria with "made in usa" stamped on there

see, there is no "organic" muslim movement like in the old days when the muslims took over Constantinople

there is a usa funded isis and al q and stuff

I think that you think that I think there's some sort of radical muslim takeover effort like in the olden days of turkey and Constantinople , I don't think there is, however, I think the commies and fascists certainly are taking over, the new world order, and the use a religion to get what they want, they use peaceful muslims and they make up stuff, use it to their advantage, they also use the jewish religion to a certain extent, but that will bite them, and they come after Christians, but it is not muslims coming after Christians, it's the new world order commies and fascists

I guess you thought all along natural that I thought there was some sort of muslim takeover and I've never once posted that at all, however, I have posted for 50000+ posts that the new world order is taking over

 

[ottumwan in tx]

it is actually the liberals and the left who have to keep this "good muslim, bad muslim" myth alive because:

1: Obama's middle name { gotta say he's a good muslim} can't make Obama look bad
2: Obama lies and says he killed bin laden, something bush was too inept to do
{ obl was a bad muslim, he had to die, supposedly} bin laden died of natural causes in 2001

3: liberals and the left love Palestine and hate Israel and the jews { good muslims again}
4. Hillary is caught gun running to the "rebels", once again, good muslims, rebels, killing the bad
5. Obama and his arab spring and Egypt and Libya: he was supposedly over-throwing bad muslims and replacing them with the good, except all the middle east is very screwed up now


see? this is all made up garbage, too bad Obama had to buy into the new world order lies and bush and cheney lies

when Obama first came into office he said he was gonna investigate 9-11 and close gitmo and get down to the truth and stop torture... remember that!! ??? I applauded it. he was gonna say muslims did not do 9-11, and prove it. that was one thing I agreed with him on. but he quickly got told to shut up by his new world order bosses and he was to shut it and never bring it up again, and they were to wheel out the frozen deaD body of obl to bail out Obama who had no birth certificate and was not eligible so we would not have a crisis.
