"O" was giving an Unprecedented speech in Cairo, targeting 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, a few GOP “leaders” were also giving a speech to “base” supporters:Think Progress:[ On Friday, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, and Oliver North visited Rock Church in Hampton Roads, Virginia to give a three-hour long lecture on “Rediscovering God in America.” The speakers warned the audience about the “continuing availability of abortion, the spread of gay rights, and attempts to remove religion from American public life and school history books.” The Virginia-Pilot reported that Gingrich argued that, while Christianity is the foundation of American citizenship, Americans are experiencing a period where they are being “surrounded by paganism”:GINGRICH: I am not a citizen of the world. I am a citizen of the United States because only in the United States does citizenship start with our creator…I think this is one of the most critical moments in American history. We are living in a period where we are surrounded by paganism.Huckabee also equated America’s victory against the British in the Revolutionary War with the right-wing’s success in the Proposition 8 fight in California as being miracles “from God’s hand.” ]Source: <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2009/06/06/gingrich-paganism/http://thinkprogress.org/2009/06/06/gingrich-paga… />So um…“Christianity is the foundation of American citizenship”…???Which would mean that you have to be a “Christian” to be an American citizen..??? WoW! And Gingrich is considered one of the GOP’s “smartest” leaders_WHY???!Good Lord..smh and lol.

Then I’m reminded that IF, over the past 30-40 years, America had not been lead and governed _by a bunch of arrogant, Opportunistic, DISHONEST, buffoons, who collectively d*mn near DESTROYED my country, Americans probably would NOT have elected our First African-American President during my lifetime; certainly NOT in 2008. Amazing!His courageous speech in Cairo showed that he is UNafraid to speak Truth to_and challenge_other Powers to “come let Us reason together” and do the “right” thing. Despite the blather of nay-sayers, Haters, separatists and divisionists (a word I made up) Obama is moving forward, charting his own path for the 21st century and keeping his own counsel. BTW: He will NOT always side with Israel. And I believe he is Bin Laden’s and al Qaeda’s WORST nightmare.
