I think Obama is taking subtle shots at Christians. But he never takes any subtle shots at Muslims. Up to and including refusing to say the phrase "radical Muslims" or "Muslim terrorists". And yet there are definitely radical Muslim terrorist groups at work abroad, and in the US.

Just as there is radical christians in the US blowing up abortion centers and killing abortion doctors.

Terrible answer. Who cares GW is no longer president and it is pretty much universally accepted he was a bad president.
Obama being the same as GW doesnt make it ok, it just makes another bad president.

Yeah it matters, the things he did set future pretenses in motion, like starting a war with a sovereign nation based on lies.

Another terrible answer. Have you ever seen the list of democrats, pre-Bush and during Bush, that claimed WMD were there?
Politicians are warmongers, both sides of the aisle. The wars and lies continue. Look at all the lies about Syria/Assad. Fortunately, the American people have learned their lesson and wont support another war.

What did buck call me? Im having so much trouble seeing through the holes in this white hood.

The worst thing you can call a white person is racist! Key & peele did a lil skit about that. I guess I should avoid questioning the government so as to not be accused of being racist.

i'm just pointing out your hair trigger sensitivity at anything you perceive to be even remotely "anti-white". you don't seem to have a problem with the out and out racist garbage we have on this forum, but you do seem to flip your shit when the black president says something that fox news wants you tp believe is aimed at white christians.

all you racists rile so easily.

Okay. You win the some of these things are not the same thing game. What is your point?

My point way back when this silliness began, was to seek an answer to the question of can children (or anyone else) consent to heinous things or does our revulsion to those heinous things some how mean that children are incapable of consenting to heinous things?

I've posed that kind of question to the Uncle Buck character this way, "How does the nature of an act, even if it is a heinous act, change whether or not it was consented to? So far he can't answer that question. Care to give it a try?


I was seeking to establish what "consent" means. That, like many things posted here gets distorted by the usual suspects.

Also, I'm not advocating people do anything, so please don't join in with the distortionists. Thanks in advance.

children cannot consent to being paid by you for sex.

"Obama claims and pretends to be a Christian, but he's definitely a Muslim homer." <--- laughable babbling. Only a common and disrespectful idiot would refute anyone's religious affiliation.

You're the real idiot here. Obama isn't a Christian at heart. He just knows, like every other presidential candidate ever has, that only a professing Christian can win the White House (at the present time).

Damn, you play the racist card like you've got a whole deck of them up your sleeve.

THE PRESIDENT: Welcome to the White House. It is wonderful to see so many friends from all across the country. My first concern was whether you actually got something to eat. (Laughter.) Sometimes prayer breakfasts are advertised -- (laughter) -- and then you get there and there’s like a little muffin. (Laughter.) A couple of berries. (Laughter.) And though your soul may be nourished, you leave hungry. So I hope that is not happening here.

I want to thank everybody here for their prayers, which mean so much to me and Michelle. Particularly at a time when my daughters are starting to grow up and starting to go on college visits, I need prayer. (Laughter.) I start tearing up in the middle of the day and I can't explain it. (Laughter.) Why am I so sad? (Laughter.) They’re leaving me.

And I want to thank everybody here for the wonderful work that you do all across the country with your remarkable ministries.

We hold this Easter Prayer Breakfast every year to take a moment from our hectic lives for some fellowship, friendship, prayer and reflection. I know pastors here have had a very busy Holy Week, and so for you to travel here and take the time to spend with us is extraordinary after what I know is difficult. I can't say that our work during this season is comparable, but you should try dealing with thousands of people in your backyard on an Easter egg roll. (Laughter.) After that you need quiet reflection -- particularly because I had some of my nephews -- 6 and 4 -- in my house all weekend. And you need quiet reflection after that. (Laughter.) Girls are different than boys.

This morning, we also remember a man of God who we lost this weekend, a man known and loved by many of you -- the dean of American preaching, Dr. Gardner C. Taylor. Anybody who had the privilege of hearing him speak knows what power he had. He was a civil rights hero. He was a friend of Dr. King, who used his spellbinding sermons to spread the Gospel and open people’s hearts and minds. He taught and mentored countless young ministers. So as we mourn his absence today, we also take solace knowing that he leaves a living legacy and that he is in a better place.

I am no preacher. I can’t tell anything to this crowd about Easter that you don’t already know. I can offer just a couple of reflections very quickly before we begin the program.

For me, the celebration of Easter puts our earthly concerns into perspective. With humility and with awe, we give thanks to the extraordinary sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Savior. We reflect on the brutal pain that He suffered, the scorn that He absorbed, the sins that He bore, this extraordinary gift of salvation that He gave to us. And we try, as best we can, to comprehend the darkness that He endured so that we might receive God’s light.

And yet, even as we grapple with the sheer enormity of Jesus’s sacrifice, on Easter we can't lose sight of the fact that the story didn’t end on Friday. The story keeps on going. On Sunday comes the glorious Resurrection of our Savior.

“Good Friday may occupy the throne for a day,” Dr. King once preached, “but ultimately it must give way to the triumphant beat of the drums of Easter.” Drums that beat the rhythm of renewal and redemption, goodness and grace, hope and love. Easter is our affirmation that there are better days ahead -- and also a reminder that it is on us, the living, to make them so.

Through God’s mercy, Peter the Apostle said, we are given “an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.” It’s an inheritance that calls on us to be better, to love more deeply, to serve “the least of these” as an expression of Christ’s love here on Earth.

That’s the spirit we feel in the example of His Holiness, Pope Francis, who encourages us to seek peace, to serve the marginalized, and be good stewards of God’s creation. Like millions of Americans, I’m honored that we will be welcoming him to our country later this year.

I want to quote him. He says that we should strive “to see the Lord in every excluded person who is thirsty, hungry, naked; to see the Lord present even in those who have lost their faith… imprisoned, sick, unemployed, persecuted; to see the Lord in the leper -- whether in body or soul -- who encounters discrimination.”

Isn’t that how Jesus lived? Isn't that how He loved? Embracing those who were different; serving the marginalized; humbling Himself to the last. This is the example that we are called to follow -- to love Him with all our hearts and mind and soul, and to love our neighbors -- all of our neighbors -- as ourselves. As it says in the first letter of John, “Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”

On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to love. And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less than loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned. But that's a topic for another day. (Laughter and applause.)

Where there is injustice -- I was about to veer off. (Laughter.) I'm pulling it back. Where there is injustice we defend the oppressed. Where there is disagreement, we treat each other with compassion and respect. Where there are differences, we find strength in our common humanity, knowing that we are all children of God.

So today, we celebrate the magnificent glory of our risen Savior. I pray that we will live up to His example. I pray that I will live up to His example. I fall short so often. Every day I try to do better. I pray that we will be strengthened by His eternal love. I pray that we will be worthy of His many blessings.

With that, I’d like to invite Reverend Dr. Amy Butler to offer our opening prayer.

END

How many abortionists compared to how many non-Muslims? 2 to 20,000?

Doesn't matter there are extremist on both sides and the majority of muslims are not extremist or fanatics and the ones that are mostly live in the middle east. Most in the states, canada, europe are just like everyone else. Islam is the second largest religion so there are probably a billion of them. To lump them into one category would be wrong.
