Muslim by default

So miserably deficient was the campaign coverage — and so deficient has been the ongoing “investigative” coverage of the man in office — that the American people have simply been left to fill the void on their own . . . often with Obama’s distortions and fabrications about Islam’s greatness.

Obama’s actions have led many Americans to conclude that he must be a Muslim.  Who can blame them? Not only did he declare that America was no longer a Christian nation, but he also claimed that America is the world’s largest Muslim nation. He doesn’t attend a church, he supports the Ground Zero Mosque, and he is on record saying he “will stand with them” whenever they face attack.  Significantly, he refuses to acknowledge that radical Islam has declared war against us.

It isn’t just Obama’s overt Islamic advocacy.  It’s also that so many Americans now recognize his inherent dishonesty.  They no longer trust him because he smears his critics with outrageous falsehoods, with the hope that he’ll polarize the majority of people in his direction.  Fortunately, he underestimated Americans’ distrust of his fawning allies in the mainstream media.

And Americans’ distrust of the media is so deep that if the media insists that Obama is a Christian, then a sizeable segment will automatically embrace the exact opposite position.  So when the Washington Post declared recently that Obama is a Christian (obviously!), the majority of the relatively few people who read it must have immediately concluded there was a good reason to believe otherwise.

Despite all the noise, diversion, and debate, we remain steadfast in our opinion: Obama may not be a Muslim . . . but he sure as communion couldn’t be a Christian; otherwise, the mainstream media and other Democrats would despise him.
