In this photo taken at Cairo University this morning, our President is once again praising Islam, talking about the major contributions to western civilization that have come from Islamic scholars, working hard, some would say begging, to make Muslims love America.

While the President was praising Islam as a religion of peace, he did not mention Private William Long who was assassinated by a Islamofacistnazi while standing in front of the West Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station on Monday. Private Long had just finished basic training and was what we call a "hometown recruiter" where soldiers come home to talk to others about joining. Nor did he mention the nearly 4000 American soldiers who have died fighting Islamicfacists for the freedom of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our President did mention that no country could force its will and system on another country. Certainly freedom and liberty are concepts that should not be forced on anyone, especially tyrants who would stand to loose much. He did forget to mention that the only genuine, free country in the Arab world now is........Iraq, thanks to the imposition of freedom from the USA.

President Obama did not mention the 3000 Americans and other nationals who died on September 11, 2001 when Muslim fanatics attacked this country, a country at peace and minding its own business as he says we should all do now.

President Obama did credit Muslims with inventing the printing press ignoring Gutenberg and his work in Europe. He did mention that there are 7 million Muslims in America ignoring surveys that put the number at between 1.5 and 2 million. He did credit Muslims with inventing algebra, ignoring the Babylonians and Greeks. He credited Muslims with inventing magnetic compasses and navigation tools, once again ignoring history and the fact that those advances came from both Central America and China before anyone ever heard of Islam. Maybe "ignoring" is the wrong word to use here. Maybe he just lied knowing the American media would never challenge his word or actions regardless of how wrong he might be.

Maybe, just maybe, one day the President of the United States will go overseas and tell his audiences how good our country is, that it has saved the world from new dark ages twice, that we have worked hard inside America to remove blemishes, that we try to hold free elections when his party will allow such, that we have spent trillions to lift up our own from poverty as well as other countries. Maybe one day, he will utter these words: I am proud of America and love my country. But don't hold your breath.

PS: Check out the photo above. The American flag always goes to the right of the person speaking, especially the President. The right is considered the position of honor. No such honor for our flag in Cairo, no problem for our President.

Senator John Douglas
