Romney said Wednesday the statement was issued after the attack in Cairo, as a response to it. But it was actually issued before the attack, specifically in response to growing anger in Egypt over the offensive video.”
The AP: “Mitt Romney is a Republican standard-bearer largely standing alone in his rush to criticize President Barack Obama after violent attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya. Romney’s quick swing at Obama — as the crisis was unfolding in the Middle East and North Africa — was glaringly at odds with the more statesmanlike responses Wednesday from GOP leaders in Congress to the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others Americans in Benghazi and to the U.S. Embassy breach in Cairo.”
In a separate story, the AP says Romney “seriously mischaracterized” what happened.
The New York Times editorial page says Romney “showed an extraordinary lack of presidential character.”
The Washington Post editorial page called Romney’s response “a discredit to his campaign.” And it points out: “Romney claimed that the administration had delivered ‘an apology for America’s values.’ In fact, it had done no such thing: Religious tolerance, as much as freedom of speech, is a core American value.” And about the video: “it was striking that Mr. Romney had nothing to say about such hatred directed at a major religious faith.”
The New York Times: “The deadly attack on an American diplomatic post in Libya propelled foreign policy to the forefront of an otherwise inward-looking presidential campaign and presented an unexpected test not only to the incumbent, who must manage an international crisis, but also to the challenger, whose response quickly came under fire. … Romney came under withering criticism for distorting the chain of events overseas and appearing to seek political advantage from an attack that claimed American lives.”
The New York Daily News’ DeFrank: “Mitt Romney’s reaction to the U.S. diplomatic murders is a fresh reminder why some senior GOP officials are worried over how he’ll fare in next month’s foreign policy debate. Romney has just learned the hard way that dabbling in what Henry Kissinger termed the forbidden fruit of foreign policy is a lot like gambling — the odds generally favor the house.”
More: “In his zeal to capitalize on the Cairo demonstrations, Romney overreached, then got overtaken by tragic events in Benghazi, Libya. That forced him, in effect, to double down with a Wednesday press conference where he looked ill at ease, defensive, opportunistic and — even some of his most ardent GOP boosters privately conceded — unpresidential.”
USA Today: “A presidential campaign that's been all about the economy shifted suddenly to foreign policy Wednesday following the murderous attack on U.S. diplomats in Libya, giving President Obama an advantage over a challenger who has yet to start receiving national security briefings. … While Obama was condemning the attacks, vowing justice against the perpetrators and consoling the victims' families and State Department colleagues, Romney doubled down on a statement he initially released Tuesday night accusing the administration of sympathizing with the attackers.”
Major Garrett: “Mitt Romney has picked a big fight fraught with political risks amid an ongoing foreign-policy crisis with heartbreaking and murderous consequences for the U.S. diplomatic corps. And by the end of the day on Wednesday, he walked straight into a forearm shiver from the commander-in-chief—one that may leave a mark and intensify scrutiny of Romney’s foreign-policy qualifications.”

Not sure this was just a stumble as it was a complete fall over the neocon cliff.
Bad day for Romney. Making a false statement based on a bad timeline, then making it much worse by trying to lie his way out of it yesterday morning. As Bugs Bunny would say "What a Maroon". It is a shade of red and seems to perfectly fit his aim to turn blue and gray states to a shade of red.
When it comes to Mr. Romney's competence in foreign affairs I quote Porky Pig..."ThThThat's all folks.
Romney's reaction to the Cairo US Embassy's 'apology' assuming the US Embassy is in step with the United States is reasonable. Why did the Cairo US Embassy 'apologise' about a US film anyway?
Today the story is that the violence is not about a film, it's jihad and has been planned for some time and is same old same old 911 stuff.
Another big distraction from Obama's failures. Has Obama taken a singel question from the white house press corps about this?
I mean the filtered NBC, ABC one on one interviews are on thing but were is the President on this attack? Why is he afraid to answer any questions???
Devdoc12able - I guess you missed the response of the President AFTER he learned all the FACTS of the incident unlike Romney. If it is a big "distraction" as you imply then you only need to thank Romney for opening his mouth and creating the distraction.......
Nice try and spin though....
He was right all along. Still is. Just because some idiots write articles ignoring our commie in chiefs bumbling, causing the murder of four americans, doesnt mean mitt was wrong
Carney? no "actionable intelligence?" LIAR!
What does that mean anyways, and the media refuses to find out what they knew and when
Talk about covering for Obozo and co huh?
Ohhhh, lets not forget, and OBVIOUSLY OMITTED(cause thats what msm does) the new downgrade brought from obozo and bernake!
see, they clarified it was fiscal irresponsibility, NOT the tea party putting the reigns on spending. IT IS THE OVERSPENDING! THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING! breitbart news has all the articles if you care for truth and facts
right, you are a disgraceful, distasteful human being with absolutely no class.
Just as Romney dismisses 47% of the population as lazy moochers dependent upon the government for handouts, comments from posters such as 'spider' and 'right is' should be dismissed, coming as they are from deluded ignorance that will believe any lie that is critical of President Obama, and ignore any truth that does not fit their prejudiced point of view. These are people who don't hear anything but gossip, don't read anything but rumor, and don't place any value on intelligence.
DEVDOC .... Romney handled that all for Obama ..... Obama ahead in every poll ... YES, MITT - U BUILT THAT .... Obama doesnt even have to campaign ... mitts blunders handing it over on that silver platter .....
for some reason i'm reminded of an old Looney Toons skit between Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. Bugs uses the old Teddy Rooseveldt line, "I may speak softly, but i carry a big stick." Sam counters with "Well i speak LOUD, and i carry a BIIIIIGGGGGER stick."
You know, we should really allow people to come forward and say, "I made a mistake and i apologize" instead of them feeling that they have to double down on stupidity in order to appear infallible.
It is Romney's own rightwingers that will not allow him to apologize on foreign policy. They dictated his initial response and they determined that he could not back away from his statement. He has chosen his path - going with the line - Obama apologizes and doesn't stick up for American values or the Constitution has been shown to have traction - regardless of it's untruth.
Frankly that shows Romney's lack of character,that he is willing to boost a lie,if it will get him votes.
Surprised to see a Bugs Bunny quote here after just posting another one to #1. Romney "what a maroon"
Katheryn - I'm afraid I'm going to have to correct you on one small thing. The rightwingers had nothing to do with this one. It was the Bush advisers that Romney hired that dictated his decision. Remember they did the same thing to McCain in 2008 and we saw how that turned out......I guess elephants don't remember everything....
Romney has three problems with his inane and misleading statement regarding this issue. The first is that he seems to consider religious intolerance and bigotry to be an American "value" that he was defending with his criticism of the embassy's press release. His second is that he sees an apology from the President in there somehow. The third is that when we should have been concentrating on what the death of our diplomats means to our nation, he was taking cheap political pot shots.
I think I'll add a fourth - he's being led around by the nose by the likes of John Bolton, and probably some other Bush-era neo-cons that cost us billions of dollars and thousands of lives for a useless war in Iraq that these dolts still have the nerve to defend.
Romney's worse than the empty suit I've accused him of being. He's downright dangerous.
RTFS: It was Bolton I thought of first too when Romney's statement came out. That should tell all responsible voters that Romney should be nowhere near the kind of power that comes with the POTUS.
RTFS: Great post. I hope I am not a scaredy-cat, but Willard/Lyin' Ryan has me scared. Hopefully middle of the road voter see the light.
Thanks guys. I wonder if it would make a difference to the non-political junkies if they knew who was behind the scenes advising Mitt. Talk about Bush Redux.
Besides London and Israel here is another example of how poorly Romney handles foreign affairs. We had cowboy diplomacy and shoot from the hip with Dubya and look where it got us. Let's not go there again.
The Middle East and parts of North Africa are volitile right now and the slightest thing can set off riots or worse. Once those new governmnents can get control of their people such things aren't likely to happen.
RTFS - You are spot on with your assessment of who is advising Romney. It's gotten us nowhere when Bush was president and will get us nowhere if Romney becomes president. They firmly believe that "engineering" wars create money, jobs and opportunity which hasn't done anything but line the pockets of those that are in the "war" industry.
We have seen Romney's diplomacy skill in his embarrassing trip to London and Israel.
Clearly, Romney is not ready for prime time. The debates should be very interesting. Obama can tactfully call him out on his lies.
I am starting to wonder if Romney just recently started lying or if this may have been a behavior that he used successfully in his business career. I know that tricking customers is a successful business strategy for some businesses, especially in the short run.
Shaak, of course the first and last presidential debate are on foreign policy. Yes, this should be fun to watch.
That Obama is incompetent is well known the world over. Then when you throw that face-lift bimbo Hillary into the mix, what do you expect??
No wonder America has lost the world's respect. Time to ditch the disgusting Kenyan dog-eater and elect a real leader for the next EIGHT YEARS. Mitt Romney 2012, and 2016.
75% of Europeans said they'd vote for Obama over Romney. That doesn't exactly support your premise that Obama is though of as incompetent world over.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/49003594
Lost the World's respect, you mean the nether world where republicans live, could it be that the World now views the United States as being more reasonable and not a bully or invader? Ya think?
Obama 2012
Hell yes the Europeans favor Obama. They figure if they can keep him in office for 4 more, their economy would become second to ours in the limelight of failure.
Obama has been very successful in improving our relations around the world. He is excellent at calming tensions and beginning discussions where tensions exist. We are trying to show the world we are no longer the world's bully. We lead by example.
The Cold war is over. The world should be allowed to peacefully coesist without being forced to pick sides.
WW I started because of rival alliances formed among European counties. It was triggered by the assassination of one Austrian leader by a small group of Serbian assassins. Many died as the result of a few people's actions. WWII started as a direct consequence of the unresolved grievances of WWI. The west made the Soviet Union our enemy in the aftermath of WWI by funding and arming the white army in the civil war in Russia after WWI,
Joseph: You make at least two statements that are capable of empirical proof (or disproof): (1) That the world knows Obama is incompetent, and (2) that America has lost the world's respect. I happen to think you're dead wrong on both of them, and I'm calling you out. Show some proof.
You see, just because you say something doesn't make it true. In fact, you make it sound very much to me like you're just repeating something you heard someone else say or write, and it made you feel better about yourself in some strange way.
I'll give you two countervailing pieces of proof, from recent history alone. First, in Libya. The United States is widely popular there, because of our role in aiding their revolution. A role I would point out, that cost no American lives, and yet was roundly criticized on the right. I happen to think it was brilliant foreign policy.
Second, in Egypt, Obama's "not an enemy nor an ally" comment -- which also has been roundly criticized on the right -- had instantaneous positive effects in terms of the behavior of the Egyptian government. Again, I happen to think it was brilliant foreign policy. For the price of a few words, and no dollars or lives, it stabilized the situation in Cairo to our benefit.
I happen to think that this week cemented the election for Obama, and thank God for that, America. Although, judging by the sheer desperation evident in Romney's remarks about Cairo, it appears that Romney believes the election was lost even earlier than that.
So, anyway, I'm looking forward to your proof of the truth of your assertions.
Seeing the GOP say and do the stupidest things just because they hate the President never ceases to amaze me.
Yet more evvidence that Romney has struck a seroius nerve with the lefties. What you lefties need to understand is that the more you frantically waive your arms in the air, the more assurance Obama is in desperate trouble with his re-election effort. Keep up the good work!
Yes, except that everything you said is the opposite of reality. Rather than being desperate, we're actually enjoying watching Mitt commit political suicide and laughing our butts off.
jony, sure he is, even Fox's poll should tell you're wrong. Romney is a disgrace with the overt pandering to the hard right, don't tell me that the Koch boys and Adelson don't own romney and rove is orchestrating romney's moves. The man is unfit to be President, does romney have an original thought, a real stand-up guy your romney. This time came back to bite his gnarly arse, even McCain does not support romney and that's going some, maybe McCain can still muster a spine.
Obama 2012
@jonyred . . .
Sure it's one thing for Romney to mess up on domestic policy but not telling anyone what he plans to do but when he screws up and tries to put his foot into foreign policy, that's how wars get started. Sure we're mad. The guy needs to shut his trap! The Democrats actually care about all people of this country and we are now the party that cares more about the troops.
Jonyred,
If you were given less than 20% chance of winning, you'd be desperate too. Oh wait... that's right, you live in an alternate reality where the campaign with the 80% chance of winning is the desperate one.
It seems to me that the need to fervently try to score political points with half baked ideas (shooting first and aiming later) and then doubling down on the thoroughly debunked criticism, reeks of desperation.
The leader of the free world must be someone with the ability to make calm, measured foreign policy decisions, not someone who'll spout off anything he thinks will move his particular agenda forward.
While it is unlikely a true believer such as yourself will be swayed by comments like mine, it is my sincere hope that all rational Americans can see the stark differences between our President and the GOP's cartoonish excuse for a candidate.
What a piece of work this GOP neocon is. He's a classless, clueless, lieing, cheating tax evader. The R&R team is doomed, and the longer their campaign goes, the more they show how utterly inept they are. This latest debacle shows the tota desperation of Romney's candidacy and that he will do and say anything to get elected. What's mindboggling is that anyone would want him running the country.
I don't see how you can even call Romney a neocon, although he certainly has his share of neocon advisers.
I truly believe the man has only one guiding principle: he wants to be President. Bad.
(And ironically, that's exactly what he'd be -- a bad President.)
The AP: “Mitt Romney is a Republican standard-bearer largely standing alone in his rush to criticize President Barack Obama after violent attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya. Really? Standing alone? I don't think so. He told the truth, and millions of Americans stand with him.
The truly stupid and the simple minded, sorry Dee but the shoe fits so slip it on, will buy into the bull$hit that Obama is handling this correctly. But most will stand with Romney.
The evidence, unfortunately, out here in the reality-based community, isn't agreeing with you all that much, my friend.
Romney was the only voice of reason yesterday! I am livid with Obama & Hillary's response. Our US Ambassador is murdered on 9/11, his bloodied body dragged through the streets with men holding cell phones around him & we are told by Obama & Hillary that the Libyans were taking him to the hospital!!!! DO THEY TAKE US FOR IDIOTS???? It looked like a trophy drag to me & countless other Americans. In the midst of this growing crisis in the middle east, where is our commander in chief??? Asking for money in Nevada. Obama's pitbulls in the media gather before a press conference with Romney as they collate questions & we are supposed to think that this was a Romney stumble?????
How dare you Obama surrogates: NBC, MSNBC, NPR etc. think that we are going to accept the garbage & propaganda you feed us. November can not come sooner for me. I am confident Obama will no longer be our president because there just can't be that many stupid people out there to vote for him. I have more faith in Americans than that.
Yes Laura, the Republican Party does take you as idiots. They're counting on it.
Have you looked in the mirror lately Laura.
Obama poodle network NBC quotes the Obama -poodle leftist Boston Globe and leftist AP...
All the Journo-Listers are on board with the same spin, after the early morning meeting with David Axelrod...
No mention of a real "stumble" like leaving the Embassy unguarded...and why Obama falsely claimed the Libyans helped by taking the Ambassador to the hospital, when apparently his body was mutiliated in the streets...
Even Fox, the propaganda wing of the Republican party has commented unfavorably about Romney's actions and reactions to the incidents in Egypt and Libya. Are they liberal now, too? Only a person so far to the right as to border on or be a Fascist would call Fox liberal or make such statements as all the media, who disagrees with that individual is leftist. I suppose if one is so extremely to the right anything even slightly to their left and, yet still very much to the right, is a lefty.
Laura.....? What pictures of the ambassador are you referring to? From what I have read Mr. Stevens passed while at the hospital and the cause of death was smoke inhalation. If you can provide evidence that counters that claim, please do. It should be easy, just include the link for all of us to see.
I'll wait.
Don't wait to long Campdog. It's just another lie from Bob and the other republicans. All they have left is lies. Desperate people lie and the republicans are really desperate.
Mo-681343... Yes, I think you are right but it goes beyond a lie.
Their lies give support to those who work to incite violence. Their lies and their willingness to beleive the lies of others encourages and emboldens those who would pervert the principles of Christianity as they smear and intentionally insult the religious views of others.
The blood of Americans is on their hands.
And about the video: “it was striking that Mr. Romney had nothing to say about such hatred directed at a major religious faith.”
No more apologies for the First Amendment. Hatred is directed against Mr Romney's faith, daily, on Broadway, in "The Book of Mormon" and no Mormons rioted.
My god. I think its great the idiot acted this way. Its sure to cross alot of the undecideds to the Obama re-election. Mitt is a piece of SH&%. He just now has proven it to everyone else.
Unbelievable. I just heard Romney in Fairfax VA say that ever since (?) America has had the ability to fight two wars at once. Now Obama wants to cut that back to just one war.
Really? Wouldn't it be nice not to have any wars? That may not be reality, but it is certainly something to strive for. The way he sounded it was his ultimate ambition to have more war. The man is out of his element. For Pete's sake (and all our sakes) go back to Bain.
I think Bain learned their lesson with Willard. They Don't want him back, their glad to be rid of him. that's why he got in to politics. Nobody wanted him, and now he's finding out most of the country doesn't want or like him either. As the old saying goes Willard "money can't buy you love".
BTW: Does anyone remember Bain or anyone associated with Bain coming to the defense of Willard?

Yes!
Why Mitt Romney is Unlikable!
A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable", or that he doesn't "relate well" to people.
Frankly, I struggled to understand why. So after much research, I have founded this Top Ten List to explain exactly WHY Mitt Romney is not a likeable person:
Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:
1. Mitt's drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with a gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.
2. Mitt's been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.
3. Mitt has no scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How unpolitical and boring is that?)
4. Mitt doesn't speak in a fake, southern, "preacher-like voice" when talking to us.
5. Mitt is highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School, and by the way, Mitt's academic records are NOT sealed.
6. Mitt doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America?
7. Mitt represents American values of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around on their spouses, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!
8. Mitt has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.
9. Oh yes.....Mitt's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.
10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, Mitt can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to getting it from the taxpayers.
Apparently, Mitt didn't understand that working hard at a job and earning your own money and success in America, makes you an unreliable and unlikeable American.
My goodness, it's a strange, strange world today in America, being so liberal in our ways, isn't it?
Your vote matters. Make sure you cast your vote for the right reason, and not for the wrong perception. All successful Americans, like Mitt Romnery, are not bad people!
I was reading your entry with great interest then I got to point #9 and I mistakenly read it the first time as.. "Oh yes.. Mitt's a MORON.
His religion shouldn't be a problem with anyone. But the fact that in some areas he is a MORON should.
The real reason Willard's unlikable Grizzly Adams is, nobody likes a liar plain and simple. All the points you listed may or may not be true, but lying really puts people off. If he is the perfect man your try to portray him to be, then why can't he take a position on an issue any issue, and stick by it instead of trying to take all sides on all issues. See Grizzly just because he's got you fooled doesn't mean the rest of us fall for his many positions on every issue.
Well Mo you seem to like Obama just fine. I mean he has even been called a liar to his face on the house floor.
The real reason you don't like Romney is you can not admit that you were wrong to support Obama and your to proud to admit that he is a failure.
Dev. Just because Obama was called a liar on the House floor doesn't make it so. In case you hadn't noticed - there are a lot or "crazy" people in the house. Most of us looking from the outside find it amazing that anything gets done there. Do you suppose that it might be why they have such a very low approval rating?
Here's 10 you might want to consider. Show me, please, where I'm wrong.
1. Mitt can't conceal the fact that he likes himself way too much.
2. Mitt's obvious pandering for votes -- a habit he's had for many years now -- is so extreme it's actually kind of creepy.
3. Mitt exudes an aura of "I'm better than you."
4. Mitt exudes an aura of "I think you're stupid enough to believe the next thing to come out of my mouth."
5. Mitt couldn't say "I'm hiding something in my tax returns from you" any more clearly if he actually just said "I'm hiding something in my tax returns from you."
6. No one can tell what Mitt actually believes in. It leaves the impression that he doesn't actually have any guiding political principles. This circles back to #2.
7. Mitt just smells like "I want to be President so bad."
8. Car elevators.
9. Mitt just can't stop himself from saying really stupid things that roughly translate in English to "look how much money I have."
10. Mitt has never shown a trace of genuine human emotion.
1) Has Romney referred to himself as "eye candy"? Has Obama? You really shouldn't say Romney likes himself too much when Obama is calling himself eye candy.
2) Romney wasn't hiding anything in his tax records, dumbass. I keep hearing he paid 14% on his taxes. He paid 14% from the investment returns which was ALREADY TAXED money. He had to have money to invest right? You don't think he paid taxes on that money before he invested it? He actually did & it was probably at a higher tax rate than you paid. So why should he be taxed at a higher rate for the money he already paid taxes on? They don't explain THAT in the headlines.
3) The rest of your "points" are too stupid to even comment on.
If you actually believe what msnbc, nbc, abc, cbs say, instead of checking their "facts", you would see that THEY ARE LYING TO YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE OBAMA SUPPORTERS. Of course they're going to paint Obama in a pretty picture & run Romney in the ground. Do they ask Obama difficult questions that the US people DESERVE to know? Nope, they don't even confront him when he makes a mistake. It is just quietly swept under the rug. My point is made VERY CLEAR just by looking at their websites. How often is Romney ran down? How about Obama? When Romney makes a statement that is only half published to make him look bad, shouldn't the news stations be held accountable for misleading the public? Did you hear Romney's 47% video in it's entirety? I'm willing to bet many did not. If you didn't then you should. His statement was taken completely out of context. How many times do you see Obama in a negative light on these "news stations"? Not nearly as many times as Romney. Ever wonder why?? It isn't because Romney is that horrible... It's because of the main stream media & who THEY want to win. This is just another one of their BIASED "stories".
Sorry for the cut and paste but the article was so well written I couldn't resist.

Interesting.....MSNBC a liberal bastion is using other liberal news outlets as sources to back up their claim?
Romney was right! The US should never apologize for our freedom of speech. Even it is used by a moron trying to get attention.
Obama has been about appeasement and apologies since he was elected, you would think by now he would see that it isn't working!!!!!
Another big distraction from Obama's failures. Has Obama taken a singel question from the white house press corps about this?
I mean the filtered NBC, ABC one on one interviews are on thing but were is the President on this attack? Why is he afraid to answer any questions???
Diplomacy should never be done through the press. BTW - Obama has never apologized or appeased anyone. You've been watching too much FOX noise.
Uh, your old are you, your memory is fading or gone. He apologized to the UN for Arizona, and there are more.
What Romney said was right. The press is behind Obama. Out of context it looks bad. In context he is right on!!!
Only through you own eyes. Did you see Romney stuttering so much that he could hardly speak; that would have been funny if this man wasn't running for president.
What is it that they call you republicans? Repucks or something like that?
HEY! Any body see the jobs report today? Another big win for Barry!!!!
There he goes ,stumblin bumblin ,rumblin, like a run away freight train .He is the head of the AAA The arrogant a-hole association. He lost any chance he had yesterday making the disrespectful remarks before he had the truth game. The gaps are widening everywhere even in Michigan his own state. He needs Ohio or no dice. I get the most satisfaction watching that neo con lard ass Rush Limbaugh get paid to spew all that BS he can't humanly really believe. The worst part is now there will be 4 more years of his diatribe to put up with. Mitty we hardly knew YE ,but you really cocked up $hit Dick Better luck on the Moron planet and remember when you get there don't poopy your magic underwear You are truly a mitty dimensional LOOOOOser
Did Obama return the bust of Winston Churchill to England because of the speech Churchill wrote in 1899?
Here is his speech:
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries.
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of
slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world .
Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa , raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome ."
Just an observation here, being that media bias is so strong in President Obama's favor Why is he not up by 15 or 20 points in your ever loving polls ???? "just askin"?
VOTE R&R
Obama's "favor" is higher in the main stream media polls than he truly is. Why? Uh so main stream media can make him look good. They aren't reporting a 15% or 20% different because they know their followers are idiots but not quite THAT stupid. They gotta make it look believable for you ;)
