At the White House the other evening....

Tuesday evening at The White House, the President hosted the Ramadan shindig, or iftar, which was attended by many of the usual suspects and other Islamo-Facists. I checked out the guest list and couldn't figure out which folks were the representatives of the moderate Taliban factions. I did notice, however, the attendance of Imam Yahya Hendi, chaplain, Georgetown University. Isn't Georgetown Univeristy one of the premier Roman Catholic universities in America? Why the Imam? Oh, that's right.... also Jesuit. That might explain it.

As is so common in political speeches today, from both sides of the aisle, the speaker trots out human props, usually in person, as many were at the dinner, but in this case that would not be possible. He spoke of Army Spc. Kareem Khan, a soldier of the Muslim faith, killed in action in Iraq in August, 2007. He said, in part:

"Tonight, he's buried alongside thousands of heroes in Arlington National Cemetery. A crescent is carved into his grave, just as others bear the Christian cross or the Jewish star. These brave Americans are joined in death as they were in life -- by a common commitment to their country and the values that we hold dear."

Mr. President, don't pretend to share the committment to country and values this brave young American gave his life to defend. Your actions, speeches abroad, policies, and proposed policies are the antithesis of his committment and values, as well as those who have made the ultimate sacrifice before him. You and those with whom you choose to associate (and keep as your closest advisers) don't like his America, never have, and you're trying to fundamentally change it - and the Mob has noticed.
