Where in the world is President Bush?
***Update: Here’s news coverage of the visit***
According to USA Today, President Bush is scheduled to pay a visit tomorrow to the Islamic Center in Washington, D.C. for its re-dedication. Re-dedication to what and from what, I have no idea.
I do know this: The Islamic Center in Washington, D.C., was the same mosque that Bush visited after 9/11 and declared: “Islam is peace.”
It is one of the mosques funded and supported by the Saudi kingdom. The chairman of the center’s board is Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan. It was embroiled in a big embezzlement scandal last year. And its former head, Muhammad Al-’Asi, reportedly told Iranian TV: “The 9/11 Events Were Planned by the American Administration.”
Um, doesn’t President Bush have anything better to do tomorrow? Preach to the open-borders choir? Twist some Senators’ arms? Anything?

I bet the Islamic Center supports his open borders amnesty bill and he is there to thank them.
We’re the dupes: Open borders for the Saudis = Mosques in our country for Muslims and no churches in their country for Christians. No reciprocation.
You know, considering the “weight” he could toss around for Shamnesty, I’m pretty glad he’s wasting the day with this…
Shamnesty equals Dhimmitude? I always wondered about the notion that Islam is the “religion of peace.” From what I understand, and correct me if I am mistaken, wouldn’t the proper translation of the “peace” part of that phrase be “religion of submission?”
When it comes to any Saudi activity in the U.S., follow the money. The absolute power of Saudi money has corrupted Washington absolutely.
Unbelievable! Just when you think he can’t stoop any lower, he manages somehow to dig the hole a little deeper!
Clueless. Absotutely clueless. This moron thinks the subjugation of women is voluntary? Bush is the Manchurian Candidate.

Probably almost to China right about now, will probably give them a medal for their human rights record.
Where is President Bush?
The cab driver in the city claims he saw the man last week
Galloping his camel into a mosque
He’s been seen
Wearing a sombrero colored green
I’ve told you all before
The fellow’s very strange
It’s George the Second
Perhaps a mental patient run amok
This lunatic could be almost anywhere
What a true American President would do at any meeting with muslims is to simply read from the Koran and Hadiths.
Right there into the faces of the deeply offended concession-demanding Islamic clerics.
Read one sick passage after another for, oh, about a half hour, and then simply walk out.
I’ve had it with that dumb, useless piece of human flesh. I’m sick and tired of George W. Bush. I can’t wait for the day he’s gone.
The biggest mistakes I made in my entire life: voting twice for him. I apologize.
Let’s hope his final days run quickly and we get rid of the Bush dynasty once and for all. And let’s hope the Clinton dynasty doesn’t continue.
Go kiss the terrorists’ butt, you traitor!
“Religion of peace” my ass!
feralcat
Reading the book of hatred back to these savages would be a good idea if we had a President who actually read. I do not know where he gets his information, but I am guessing the CIA or the FBI. And they are taking the same drug. The collective IQ of Washington has plummeted commencing with the Clinton Presidency. They are pathetic.
Amazing, it seems each day now there is one more thing to disappoint me in Bush and what he says and does. He really wants to slap America in the face.
Is it just me or does this President not like Americans.
About a year after 9-11 I started doing some reading of translations to educate myself on these people who want so desperately to kill us, and if that’s the religion of peace, I’m Bullwinkle the Moose.
I have a close friend who is Hindu and grew up in a country with a large Muslim population and she told me many years before 9-11, “Watch out for Muslims. Their religion is nasty. Nasty nasty nasty.” Naturally I gently corrected her about making broad accusations about people’s religions and the like. I eventually had to apologize. Taken literally, many passages are indeed nasty. Sometimes horrifically so.
If we call Islam the religion of peace, what do we call the teachings of Jesus Christ? Peace Plus? Peace Deluxe? We need some perspective on this.
Or our Commander-in-chief does, anyway.
No, by any Christian standard, it seems more than a little inappropriate to call it the “religion of peace”. And everyone – even Georgy-Boy – needs to understand that and understand it now, if we are to understand those who volunteer to murder our innocents in the name of that same religion.
As usual, Bush is not just off base, he isn’t even in the same three-dimensional universe. Geez, what a dope. These days I really have to keep telling myself, “At least he isn’t John Kerry… at least he isn’t John Kerry…”
I have a suggestion for the next President, assuming we get a good one.
How about in addition to “Your Fired!” to Chertoff, the name of the Homeland Security Department be change to the Homeland Defense from Islam Department.
It seems like every day, in every way, Pres Jorge Boosh is proving to his base on the right that he really is as dumb and clueless as the left has claimed all these years.
At this point, I throw up my conservative hands in total exasperation and simply ask:
Just who exactly does he think is his political base right now anyway? He has totally alienated the people he voted for, and the people who voted against him still hate him passionately. So who’s left….
ahhhh… I get it. All those people who didnt vote at all. The illegals and the Muslim terrorists. That must be his cunning plan.

Even if you submit it is not peaceful. It is always the “religion of hate,” and there is always this neverending rage at those who don’t submit. Right now it is directed at Israel and America.
Shamnesty equals Dhimmitude in that many Muslims (who knows how many sleeper cells?) who came here illegally will be granted amnesty. It also sends a message we are not serious about defending our way of life if anyone can break our laws and be granted amnesty. Every one of our enemies knows you can slip in the U.S. from the southern border.
Leadership of this nation is indeed corrupt, and shameless. Spineless parasites who’s voracious appetites are destroying the very body they need to survive.
Will, We The People, wake up and save ourselves before we are taken down?
I doubt it.
Sounds like the Democrats have always been right about W being a jerk. Their problem is they keep throwing bigger jerks at us and expecting us to bite our tongues and go with one of their idiots. That is the only reason W has been able to hold his office.
Radio Relay says:
It also has become clueless.
If one clicks on the “Islamic Center” link in the post, you get these gigantic banners “Allah Is The Greatest!” “There Is No Deity But Allah!” etc.
Bush certainly would not visit a Protestant Church or Catholic Church if their website said “Jesus Christ Is The Greatest!” It would not be PC and tolerant.
Yet he visits this Islamic Center in Washington funded by the Saudis, essentially telling the world “I have submitted.”
Bush should ask the Islamic Center how open the borders are in Saudi Arabia.
Having known some who have gone there on business trips, it is clear that they are significantly ‘undiverse’, intolerant and anti-Jewish and anti-Christian. It is against their laws to pray any Christian prayers within the borders of that country, to wear any Christian related symbols or to even have a personal Bible in your possession. And, I’m betting if you are Jewish you aren’t welcome.
Bush is a fool and I’m sorry that I have come to that conclusion afer voting for him twice and supporting his policies for so long. Bring the soldiers home today and forget the rhetoric from the White House.
Lou Dobbs’ speech to the National Press Club was on TV late last night. I was very impressed with his take on things and one thing he said particularly resonated…. go to your local election board office and withdraw from either party affiliation – - send a message and register Independent – don’t let these people take you for granted anymore.
The disgust I feel for our government is indescribable. We have been sold out by both parties and the President.
Bush and Bandar are very close friends so it is not surprising that he would show up and do his buddy a favor.
The bigger question is what we are going to do about the Saudis who have been helpful in some facets of the War on Terror and not very helpful in others. We could put President Musharraf of Pakistan in the same boat and ask if their positive contributions outweigh their dilly dallying with al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups.
There will come a time when such straddling will be unacceptable. Until then, “You are either with us or against us” seems to have taken on some nuanced thinking, no?
Was it Jefferson that said ‘a revolution every couple of generations is good for government, it keeps it honest’ or something to that effect. I have to say, maybe the man had something there
I was actually thinking impeachment then I remembered who is the #2 and #3 in line . Could you imagine Pelosi as president . I do not know if anyone could do a worse job than george but I’m sure nancy would give it a try.
SirKnob – here is the quote you seek:
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
– Thomas Jefferson
I am changing my political party this week.
I have contacted every Republican powers that be in my state.
Other than DOLE, the rest can go to…..you get the picture.
It is time to revolt against this travesty! If this bill passes, you will see another civil war I am afraid.
The illegals will take over OUR country and we will have to fight to keep what is ours.
In fact, very soon, I will be getting a gun for my own protection against any crime on MY property!
Fed up with the FEDS!!!!!!!
There is a social experiment going on that has caught the fancy of our elites. With so many Americans that are oblivious to anything other than Hollywood celebrity or American Idol… ad nauseum,unreality TV, 60 percent not even voting, on and on.
What would a country of 300 million people under Islamic rule with the economic engine of capitalism look like? All we are seeing going on is quite astounding. Free will doesn’t always mesh well with an amoral capitalistic ideal, where total submission does. It appears that, even though our economics have made us the richest and most prosperous nation on earth, that ideal return on investment hasn’t been reached.
The first thing Bush should ask the Saudis who own the Islamic Center in Washington is when will a big church or synagogue be opening in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. The Saudis do not reciprocate tolerance. They push their way as far as you let them. No more concessions to evil Saudis should be made.
The Saudis are our enemies. They run one of the most oppressive regimes in the world and oppose freedom, democracy, and everything for which America stands. They fund the worldwide Islamic terror campaign from New York to Bali. This terror campaign will continue as long as Saudi petrodollars prop it up. Our president should not be trotting to the Wahhabi mosque to play kissy-face with Saudi fanatics, but should be taking steps to destroy Saudi Arabia.
The Islamic Center has been a scene of violence before when Muslims held infidel Americans hostage there in 1977. Muslims shot to death a reporter and wounded Marion Barry, future mayor of DC, then holed up with hostages at the B’nai B’rith building and the Islamic Center. As usual, where Muslims go, violence follows.
The Saudis have filled American mosques with Wahhabi hate literature. As quoted in the Washington Post, “The 57 publications discussed in the report “state it is a religious obligation to hate Christians and Jews, and warn against imitating, befriending or helping such ‘infidels’ in any way,” the study said. “They instill contempt for America” as well as “a Nazi-like hatred for Jews.”" That literature lies in the Islamic Center Bush is honoring by visiting.
The Saudis formally indoctrinate their children to hate non-Wahhabis in their schools. The Saudis taught that curriculum of hate at the Saudi academy here in Washington, a high school that produce several terrorists, including an outstanding graduate now in prison for plotting to kill the President.
Only a mile from the Islamic Center, the Saudi Embassy distributes tourist brochures in Arabic that remind Muslim tourists that it is their religious duty to hate democracy and refuse to participate in it.
It’s also worth pointing out that when Muslims say that Islam means peace, they mean the peace that will come will all the world submits to Allah. It is a war cry that dopey multiculti lefties think proves their peaceful intentions.
captivated_dem: “What would a country of 300 million people under Islamic rule with the economic engine of capitalism look like?”
Anarchy. Capitalism and sharia are incompatible. Certainly it should have occurred to you that all businesses run on borrowed money, while usury is prohibitied under sharia. Capitalism is considered blasphemy by pious Muslims who advocate sharia.
captivated_dem: “Free will doesn’t always mesh well with an amoral capitalistic ideal, where total submission does.”
Pure nonsense. Free will of the consumer is essential in setting prices, the main gear of capitalism. Total submission of the consumer to central authority leads you to bankruptcy, just like it did the Soviet Union and many other centralized economies. If the consumers submitted to whatever was foisted on them, we’d all be driving Edsels while sipping on New Coke and munching on McDonald’s Hula-Burger. However, since capitalism lets the customers make the decisions, those inferior products are culled from the market unlike the centralized economies of Islamic republics where Muslim customers must put up with whatever crap is foisted on them.
It looks like you’re learning about capitalism from lefty cartoon books.
In my book the president falls further and further with every passing day. What the heck is he trying to do?
Capitalism and sharia are incompatible. Certainly it should have occurred to you that all businesses run on borrowed money, while usury is prohibitied under sharia. Capitalism is considered blasphemy by pious Muslims who advocate sharia.
Sometimes, I don’t know whether to laugh at your simplistic understanding of Muslims or tear out my hair at your gross stereotyping.
For God’s sake, the Gulf states including the Saudis lend and borrow hundreds of millions of dollars every day! No modern nation on earth can survive without the international banking system. It doesn’t matter what your limited understanding of Sharia law allows or disallows. That’s because it, like all things religious be they in the Bible, the Koran, or any other sacred text, is open to interpretation. And countries like Saudi Arabia, the Emirites, Indonesia, and other Muslim states choose to interpret the Koran differently.
By the way, the Bible also prohibits usury but that hasn’t stopped US credit card companies from charging 22% on purchases.
Bush sold out to the oil-rich wahhabis even before he sold out to the Mixican criminals. Ask his dad, Salim Bin Laden and “Bandar Bush”. For rhose who have not noticed, Bush dances to Riyadh phone-calls (remember the ‘Islamic-fascists’ remark and it’s retraction, the next day?) like noone is watching. Any wonder he blocks congressional investigation into 9/11, covers pages on Saudi Arabia front the 9/11 report, increases (!?) visas to Saudi students and declares these murderers, “allies”. Square that against “path to citizenship” to criminals and one wonders if Bush, much less a president, is a traitor in the White House. Then again, Bush was never a statesman, he pretends to be.
Does Bush have any support left among conservatives and independents? I voted for him. Twice.
Mea culpa, mea culpa.
Bush’s sham approval of Islam is an improvement over his Evangelical/Zionist support for the neocon crusade. Let’s be honest, some people are still fooled by Bush, as is evident by his maintaining an extraordinary 26% approval rating.
Maybe it would be a good time to send Karen Hughes out again to win the Arab world over by explaining that the Bush policy is to kill Arabs for Israel and the Jewish neocons.
Tantor – You are speaking of consumers, I was speaking about employees. I was not advocating any of what I wrote. It was a retorical question to ponder. Free will of a Christian nation versus submission of an Islamic nation. Capitalism is not a four letter word to be disdained, however we, I believe, are reaching the limits of its’ ideal efficacy. Captitalism is amoral,I didn’t say immoral, in that it does not take into account moral considerations. Ethics maybe. To squeeze the last drop of efficacy out of the capitalistic ideal, it will by necessity ,need to tweak its’ ethos. Hiring illegals has begun the tweaking.
Islam is an antichrist religion. It seem America’s and Europe’s future is Islamic. It do look as if there are those converting to Islam at a fast rate here in America. I am a little worried.
Yes, but this has political ramifications. Can’t be invite Bandar over for a Happy Eid dinner instead?
But, hey, Bush is probably going to give a speech condemning Wahabbi persecution of Jews and Christians, oppression of women, and funding for terror, right?
This prez is a one-man Republican wrecking crew–register Independent!
So basically if Mexico doesn’t overrun us then the Muslims will…
All with the Government’s blessing.
Sweet… I think I’ll be skipping the news for the rest of the day. It’s hot. I’m cranky. I have a headache and 3 kids home on school vacation. Today I’m going to play water games with the kids and pretend that George Bush isn’t really selling away our country. With his Harry ‘We’ve lost the war’ Reid and Edward ‘Shamnesty’ Kennedy cheering section.
There are definately days when I am glad I’m an independant.
Pat.. you don’t register independant. Independant is not a party. It’s the lack of a party.
You UNregister from being a republican.
However, that means that you have no right to vote in primaries. So I have to put up with whomever out of the candidates that you decide to put up for election. Personally I used to like McCain.. but the immigration thing killed it. So I’ve got high hopes for Thompson. But I can’t vote for him unless the party puts him up.
That’s the downfall of being an independant. Your voting choices are dictated by those of the party. In the end you just get to pick what party to vote for. Or in the last elections case… against.
Someone remind me…Just how many of the hijackers that decided to fly themselves (and take so many innocent folk with them) to Allah were Saudi?
Someone tell that dimwit sad excuse for a president just whose side he is on. I am so tired of this dork, can we hold an early election?
I have to admit that if given a choice between Gore and Bush today, I’d take Gore. Kerry would still lose though.
Wha?! I’ll admit, things are bad, but Algore is -not- the lesser evil.
I think it is very disrespectful that Michelle and many of the posters here lump all Muslims for the actions of an extremist minority.
I am Catholic but have several Muslim friends and not one has attempted to convert me or slit my neck.
Give it a rest and focus the energy on extremism of all faiths
Nice cranial-rectal inversion you have there.
PBoilermaker
And you seem to be outright missing the cranial. Is there something with my argument that you disagree with?
Yes, your flawed logic and extreme naivete.
Keep trolling, though, it seems like you enjoy it.
I see a certain “paradox”. The more like Christ a Christian is the better person he likely is. The more like Mohammad a Muslim is the worse person he likely is. So I guess we should all want Christians to be good at being Christians and Muslims to be poor at being Muslims. Frankly the best Muslims seem to be those who are not very good at being Muslims.
Tantor: “Capitalism and sharia are incompatible. Certainly it should have occurred to you that all businesses run on borrowed money, while usury is prohibitied under sharia. Capitalism is considered blasphemy by pious Muslims who advocate sharia.”
Rick Moran: “Sometimes, I don’t know whether to laugh at your simplistic understanding of Muslims or tear out my hair at your gross stereotyping.”
Quite frankly, you are the ignorant one here, posing as informed when you haven’t done your homework.
Rick Moran: “For God’s sake, the Gulf states including the Saudis lend and borrow hundreds of millions of dollars every day! No modern nation on earth can survive without the international banking system. It doesn’t matter what your limited understanding of Sharia law allows or disallows. That’s because it, like all things religious be they in the Bible, the Koran, or any other sacred text, is open to interpretation. And countries like Saudi Arabia, the Emirites, Indonesia, and other Muslim states choose to interpret the Koran differently.”
Instead of a national bank, the Saudis have a Monetary Agency. Instead of interest, the Saudis charge administrative fees. While they are forced to resort to euphemisms such as this, these religious restrictions on making loans severely handicaps their economy and society. You may notice that Riyadh is not exactly the banking capital of the world, nor is any Muslim nation. Islam is their main handicap in developing a real banking system that makes real loans freely to develop real wealth.
Rick Moran: “By the way, the Bible also prohibits usury but that hasn’t stopped US credit card companies from charging 22% on purchases.”
You are drawing a false moral equivalence here in that Christians are not demanding a theocracy based on the Bible while Muslims are demanding theocracies based on the Koran. The Christian churches respect a division between religion and state while Islam seeks to tear down any such division. You might also notice that Muslims seek to propagate their view through violence.
PBoilermaker
A troll is someone who posts babble and insults people not one who posts their opinion. DO you consider everyone that you disagree with a troll?
supersean: “I think it is very disrespectful that Michelle and many of the posters here lump all Muslims for the actions of an extremist minority. I am Catholic but have several Muslim friends and not one has attempted to convert me or slit my neck. Give it a rest and focus the energy on extremism of all faiths”
Sean, Muslims deserve our criticism not only for the minority who actively make war on the world, not only for the largely minority who directly support them, but also for the majority who passively support them.
When is the last time you saw Muslims demonstrate against terror? A couple years ago, a local Muslim lawyer here in DC tried to get an anti-terror rally going but could only draw fifty people. The local mosques and Muslim organizations criticized him for doing it. He said that the mosques don’t actively condemn Islamic terror because they agree with its object, to bring about a sharia state in America and the West.
Meanwhile, last summer I saw with my own eyes a demonstration in support of Hezbollah that drew at least five thousand Muslims in Lafayette Park across from the White House. That’s the Hezbollah that claims that its advantage is that it loves death more than the West loves life, that they don’t want to make deals with us but eliminate us.
When 5000 Muslims turn out to rally for the Islamic terrorists but only 50 Muslims rally against Islamic terror, that tells me that Muslims support terror by a hundred to one ratio.
You might ask your friend why Wahhabi hate literature appears in every mosque in America, while 80% of American mosques have been radicalized.
You are being naive to think that the majority of American Muslims are against Islamic terror. Most of them think it would be great to overturn democracy for sharia law. A significant minority of American Muslims reject the idea that Muslims perpetrated Sep 11. Quiz your Muslim pals a bit more closely and you’ll find out that they believe a lot of extreme nonsense.
It’s not just a few extremists hijacking a religion, it’s the whole religion that is at fault. Mohammed set an example of robbing camel caravans, assassinating critics, launching jihad against tribes without provocation, and mass-murdering hostages. Mohammed is considered the perfect Muslim, his behavior considered exemplary. It’s hardly a surprise when Muslims follow his example by skyjacking aircraft, assassinating critics of Islam, perpetrating terror campaigns on innocent people, and making snuff videos of infidel hostages being beheaded. They are perfecly following Mohammed’s perfect example. And that is the problem with Islam. It’s morality is evil.
Tantor,
I think many of your points in post #49 are valid however I believe that there are many within the Christian community who vocally advocate the removal of the division between church and state. While I agree that there is much good that can come from this from a social services view, our regulation based upon religious values has several blatant issues
For example I am completly against abortion but do not believe it is the state’s job to mandate and/or enforce this. It is our job as Christians to provide the moral guidance to our children neighbors, friends and family to raise their value levels.
Would Mohammad be considered a “radical” Muslim if he was alive today?
Mohammad created Islam, so therefore set it’s standards. A radical Muslim would be someone who repudiated Mohammad’s teachings and examples, not followed them.
supersean: “Tantor, I think many of your points in post #49 are valid however I believe that there are many within the Christian community who vocally advocate the removal of the division between church and state.”
Everyone is free to advocate any silly damned thing they please in America but making your argument with violence is a different matter entirely. One of the differences between American Christians and Muslims is that Christians do not seek to impose their views through beheadings and bombings. Christian doctrine is pacifist while Muslim doctrine is violent. It is false to assert they are morally equivalent.
Definition of a “moderate” muslim- thats one who will kill you…but wont eat you.
Over a year ago at Hot Air, several people labeled me, a GOP volunteer, as a troll for making the comment that I would support impeaching Bush for his working to give Illegal Aliens amnesty from their crimes against America. I wonder how those people would feel about my idea today.
Why do “Progressives” constantly downgrade the American way of life and view any other culture or foreign religion as superior? Our language, customs, morals and culture seem to anger these nitwits. Their hate of christianity is as mind boggling as their “irrational respect” of the Muslim religion. They’ve stopped judging people by the content of their character, instead they judge by their political correctness or minority status. It’s clear to most of us that this is the greatest country in the history of the world. We are the best hope for the world, …we embrace all cultures and people…but it’s not diversity that makes us great, although that does provide a little spice to our great land, our American culture elevates us to greatness by providing the freedoms (our consitution and the ability to own property) and whether you want to believe it or not our Judeo-christian history has helped mold this nation….that is what makes us great…but if we continue with this Balkanization of the U.S. we will surely end up the way of the dinosaur…For the sake of my daughter and millions of other U.S. sons and daughters, I pray we see the light soon.
Tantor,
Extremists of our faith have also recently used violence to get their point across (remember Ireland?) so I believe we must have look at the issue from a macro view to truly understand it.
I currently live in South America and travel frequently to Colombia which is ripe with terrorism (so much so that it hardly ever makes the news in the states). One could use similar arguments as you have to extrapolate that Catholics are the cause for terrorism in the region but it too would be invalid.
I still disagree with your thesis that Muslims across the board are a evil and hateful due to their religion. Killers kill for many reasons and we must look to ending the validation of their justifications (religion, political, financial, mental, etc) we could add up all of the homicides across the globe and see that a Global War on Road Rage and Convenience Store holdups would be equally justified.
I thank you and respect your opinion and look forward to continued discourse.
Unfortunately, the anti-US hatred that many foreigners are reared on has made its way to our very own shores over the years, transported by people who have no desire to assimilate. The numbers have been large enough to erode our unique American culture (black, white and otherwise…it is AMERICAN culture). When weak-minded Americans are bombarded every day with “progressive” anti-US and anti-Christian attitudes, they start to believe the hype and hate themselves for being American. When you add these people to the mix of anti-US immigrants, it takes hold in a big way. Truly fascinating, yet sad and scary to see.
The odd thing is that the worst enemies of American culture specifically state that they will utilize our very own freedoms and culture to destroy what we hold dear, yet we don’t seem to take them seriously. We are slowly letting this happen and if it doesn’t stop, this country and its unique culture -will- collapse.
