    I say his heritage has influenced his policies in the first week of presidency when he reached out and spoke to muslims on muslim tv.

    I do not know if it a heritage thing. There certainly is a growing amount of animosity between the US and Muslims. That is most likely his primary motivation. That animosity is driving a lot of the attacks around the world. But basic problem is Israel. Unless they can drive Israel out of the middle east they will never be happy and there will never be peace. And since that is not a solution Obama is spinning his wheels.

    Maybe he said Obama was going to be a good President or something.

    There was no Iraq war buildup under Clinton. Do you have support for that statement?

    Here are some examples of Rush's wisdom.

    The Dumbest Things Rush Limbaugh Has Ever Said

    By Daniel Kurtzman, About.com

    "He discusses his service in Iraq, the wounds he suffered there, and he says to me in this ad, 'Until you have the guts to call me a 'phony soldier' to my face, stop telling lies about my service.' You know, this is such a blatant use of a valiant combat veteran, lying to him about what I said, then strapping those lies to his belt, sending him out via the media in a TV ad to walk into as many people as he can walk into." --denouncing an ad by VoteVets.org featuring Iraq war veteran Brian McGough by likening him to a suicide bomber

    "He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting." --on an ad by Michael J. Fox endorsing Claire McCaskill for Senate for supporting embryonic stem cell research (Watch video)

    "And don't forget, Sherrod Brown is black. There's a racial component here, too. And now, the newspaper that I'm reading all this from is The New York Times, and they, of course, don't mention that." --on the 2006 Ohio Senate primary race involving then-Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), who is white

    "This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation...I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of the need to blow some steam off?" --on the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal

    "We're not sexists, we're chauvinists -- we're male chauvinist pigs, and we're happy to be because we think that's what men were destined to be. We think that's what women want."

    "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

    "The only way to reduce the number of nuclear weapons is to use them."


    "There are more acres of forestland in America today than when Columbus discovered the continent in 1492."

    He is a fool but not really. He's well paid to act like an idiot.

    I've given it several times. Sanctions ? Dead Iraqi women & children ? Half a million of them ?

    And you have a lot of nerve demanding ANyONE back their statements up. You are the KING of unanswered challenges.

    He said times aren't that bad... He should walk a mile in my shoes to get a better perspective.

    Overall times aren't that bad. Most people I know are still working, still buying stuff, still feeding their families, maybe a few pay cuts or cuts in hours, but still in all, nearly everyone (except us) has a wide screen or plasma TV, a computer, shelter, food, and clothes and goes out to eat once in awhile and still can afford to rent DVDs. So, naw, things aren't really that bad as compared to people in other countries who don't have 2 grains of rice to rub together. Rush got it right.

    You are fortunate. Hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans are not.

    Michael J Fox admitted that he did and does stop taking his medications when he is going to give a public appearance on behalf of research for his illness.

    You can cross that one off the list.

    Link? Because on CBS he said just the opposite. FULL STORY HERE

    I know that sometimes it is very difficult to titrate the dosage of meds correctly.. So don't be so quick to "cross off" other people's struggles.

    He may have said the opposite on CBS after Rush made his comment however in his book which was published before the Rush incident he admitted to going off his medications to make appearances on behalf of raising awareness of his illness.

    Don't know the origin of your false belief that I "cross off" other people's struggles. Perhaps you find it difficult to discuss issues with others who do disagree with you and seek some sort of moral high ground to bolster your beliefs in lieu of facts?

    No, I'm, just asking you for support for your assertion that you have now made twice without a shred of evidence. Your saying so doesn't make it so. Basic rules of debate...provide evidence.

    Bumping for J/C to address what I said.

    Edited to add, I will report your post if you don't address this. I think it is highly dishonest of you to disappear out of these conversations, and am really sick of you wasting people's time on this board.

    Too bad there is no biblical principle about caring for those unfortunate folks, just unborn children. That's all we're told to care about. Right... :thumbsup:

    And it's too bad you feel you can judge our giving from behind yer yellow pulpit, knowing nothing about it, whilst throwing out several verses you don't like to talk about.

    It looks to me like you waste as much time spouting off here as anyone else! You might want to check you own eyes for beams before you continue to insult others.

    I don't know why, but you appear to follow JustChristian around and continually berate everything he posts. Maybe this should be reported as well!
