"Terrible Deeds in the Name of Christ"

He's done it again.

The One has shown, one more time, that he is not fit to be Commander in Chief.

At this week's prayer breakfast he took it upon himself to remind the audience that people have done "terrible deeds in the name of Christ."

When I first saw the headline, for one very brief moment, a fraction of a second, I thought he might be referring to his friends "Reverend" Al "I Don't Pay Taxes" Sharpton and "Reverend" Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright.

This was not the case.

No, my friends, the "most important man in the world," the "leader" of the Free World, the man who would make us "safe," was talking about the Crusades. Yes, the Crusades; you know the ones from over eight centuries ago. Now, of course, this is the sort of silly moral equivalence that one would expect from an Assistant Professor trying to impress gullible 19-year-olds on some Ivy League campus with his erudition and ability to "see the big picture" full, as it is, of shades of grey, not blacks and whites as "Fox news would have you believe."  The appropriate knowing snickers and snorts would follow, showing that the "highly educated" audience is with their Prof in rejecting the simplicities of the great unwashed tax-paying masses.

OK, that is the behavior we expect from the empty heads dominating our universities and media. Is that what we would expect from a man who has command over troops in harm's way?

We have here an alleged Commander in Chief (CIC) who has the task--one would have thought--of protecting our nation and our very civilization from barbarians who, among other acts, burn prisoners to death; behead aid workers; throw gay men from tall buildings; crash airliners into skyscrapers killing thousands; kidnap and rape hundreds of school girls, and sell them into slavery; murder whole African villages; and, oh yes, vow global conquest. Our CIC, instead, repeats, and, thereby, gives credence to the jihadis, whom he won't name, and their tiresome "Crusaders!" meme. He does this, furthermore, at a time when Christians are being persecuted and murdered all over the Muslim world.

He is willing, furthermore, to name and besmirch the founder of Christianity but not--Allah forbid!--Muhammed, the founder of Islam, a cult of death which has been at war with the West for some fourteen centuries. Islam is a totalitarian cult that seeks our submission and destruction; that seems to escape The One's notice.

Imagine, if you will, Churchill or FDR in the midst of WWII justifying Nazi aggression or the death camps with some infantile nonsense about the Versailles Treaty, or reminding us of our own shoddy treatment of Irish immigrants, or responding to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor or the Phillippines with some discourse on past Western transgressions against Japan, "Commodore Mathew Perry, after all, was not invited by the Japanese people and was very aggressive with his Black Ships." Imagine what that would have done to the morale of our troops and our allies.

We have in the White House, at best, a man who is a complete and utter dolt, or, my fear, a man who actually sees the West as the source of all evil in the world, and in need of a good defeat at the hands of the "Third World."
