A Sitting Duck (And The Spy For Quackistan)

I know: I've been away. So sue me - what have I missed?

Is it just me, or has our politicin' taken a spiritual turn lately?

What with the Ground Zero mosque and whether Barack Obama is a Muslim or whatnot.

I shoulda been here with a catcher's mitt.

"President Obama is assuredly not a Muslim. For many of his countrymen, though, he remains a question mark."

--Rich Lowry, giving us what we pay him for, in The National Review

It tickles me, how others can't seem to piece NewAge together, like it's difficult or something, when they appear capable of seeing right through everything else.

"Justice Sotomayor did not really mean that wise Latinas make better judges than white males. Van Jones did not really mean that George W. Bush was in on 9/11, or that white youths are more likely to be mass murderers, or that whites are chronic polluters of the ghetto. Eric Holder no more meant that Americans are cowards than one of Anita Dunn’s heroes really is the mass-murdering Mao. We should not believe that the top priority of the head of NASA is to advance Islamic outreach, or that the president himself thinks that police routinely act stupidly, stereotype, or arrest innocent people on their way to get their kids some ice cream. Imam Rauf did not really say that we created bin Laden, or that we kill more innocent Muslims than al-Qaeda kills innocent non-Muslims."

-- Victor Davis Hanson, noticing the truth is pretty malleable around the White House, in National Review Online

While Barack Obama assures us (through a spokesperson) he's a Christian.

"'They cling to . . . religion' is a very odd thing for a Christian to say about fellow Christians. To our ear, it sounds more like the statement of a nonbeliever, and one who is not only detached from but somewhat disdainful of the faith in question. So our honest answer to the question 'What religion is Obama?' is 'We don't know.'"

-- James Taranto, of The Wall Street Journal

Yea, that's a toughie - especially since Obama hasn't been to church in a while, and he's still spending time with Oprah. Have you noticed, over the years, he's always got time for Oprah?

Maybe they do Bible study. All good Christians know what Oprah stands for, right?



Swear to God.
