Tel-Chai Nation

Frank Gaffney has noticed something very disturbing in Obama's latest speech, besides his denial of Islam's responsibility in 9-11, and his repeat of support for the mosque at Ground Zero:

He was prepared as “Commander-in-Chief” to prevent the burning of Qurans by a pastor in Florida.

While it's actually fortunate that the pastor didn't do it in the end (as Betsy Newmark notes, the MSM now feels Rev. Terry Jones used them, which should've been painfully obvious centuries before it happened), as Gaffney noted earlier:

...it is absolutely the “inalienable” right of any American citizen to do it – whether the book is the Bible (which we now know the U.S. military has burned in Afghanistan, lest it be used to proselytize there), the U.S. Constitution or, yes, the Quran.

And to criminalize koran-burning would only embolden America's enemies into thinking they'll have their way.

...as such brilliant commentators as Andy McCarthy, Diana West, and Debra Burlingame have observed, there is something peculiar about the remarkably contrasting concern being expressed by Barack Obama and his friends over Muslims’ rights and sensitivities on the one hand, and his seeming indifference to those of Americans who are not Muslims. The only common denominator between his attitude toward a megamosque that offends more than 70% of our countrymen and women and his attitude toward the prospect of an “insensitive” book-burning is that he wants to ensure nothing is done that would offend Muslims.

[...]

Here’s the bottom line: If at any point President Obama invokes his power as Commander-in-Chief to prevent Quran burnings in America, he will have taken a massive step towards the institution of shariah law in this country. At the very least, his enforcement of shariah blasphemy codes will be seen by our enemies who adhere to that doctrine as evidence of our collective submission – a step that invites more violent efforts to complete our conquest, and inevitably, more mosques celebrating our defeat.

Quite right. That's why we must remain awake and pay careful attention.
