9/11 was a horrific event. However, we are not entirely innocent. Our policy worldwide has been to grab and do whatever benefits us and only us. (I understand the simplicity of this statement, but this is the case in so many terms).

Preventing people from immigrating on the basis of religion or political ideology is in itself anti-American. It goes against the core belief of freedom and liberty in this nation.

Well said bruv. Thank you!!

As for Acorn, let's face it...if Obama came out against Acorn it's more fuel to the fire for the conservative movement. He knows that if he were to decry the actions of Acorn (which were bad indeed) that it would be give more credence to this neo-con movement that is experiencing a resurgence of sorts. Why can't people denounce Blackwater, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, KBR, Armor Group, or DynCorp (both Armor Group and DynCorp received federal money...and both are involved in actual prostitution scandals).

Exactly comrade!!!!!!!!! Its sad how we often turn a blide eye to certain issues.

In The Netherlands muslims were dancing in the streets after 9/11 to celebrate what had happened. The Dutch people were in shock about it and the whole muslim community was silence...nobody spoke up against these muslim extremist behavior...to me silence is also agreeing with them!

Just as Obama is silence about Acorn and many other things....but he came out to say that Kanye is a "jackass" so he knows what is going on....silence is agreeing!

haha! my family and I were in The Netherlands during 9/11, and yes there were very SMALL group of muslims who showed "support" to the bombings, but it was CONDEMNED by the media and THE MODERATE MUSLIMS.

please don;t make up a story. thanks.
